(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP in effect as of the date hereof; provided, that, if either the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that such Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Required Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend such provision to preserve the original intent in light of the change in GAAP; provided, that such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded. (f) When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, that, with respect to any payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Loans, if such extension would cause any such payment to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 1.3 Pro Forma Adjustments. In the event that Holdings or any Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Total Net Leverage Ratio or the Secured Net Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio or the Secured Net Leverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”), then the Total Net Leverage Ratio or the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, as the case may be, shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable period; provided, that, no such pro forma adjustment shall be made for purposes of Section 8.1 for any events occurring after the last day of the fiscal quarter. For purposes of making computations herein, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) that have been made (or committed to be made pursuant to a definitive agreement) by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries during the reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and discontinued operations (and the change in any associated Indebtedness and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or discontinued operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or discontinued operation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable period. For purposes of this Section 1.3, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Holdings or the Borrower and may include, without duplication, cost savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and expenses and cost-saving synergies resulting from such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or discontinued operation (including the Transactions) or other transaction, in each case, calculated in the manner described in, and not to exceed the amount set forth in clause (i)(l) of, the definition of Consolidated EBITDA. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the applicable calculation date had been the applicable rate 34

 

for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in the second paragraph of this Section 1.3. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate. 1.4 Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances any of its then-existing Loans with Additional Term Loans, extended Revolving Loans or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in Cash” or any other similar requirement. 1.5 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (i) if any asset, right, obligation, or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation, or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (ii) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time. 1.6 Limited Condition Acquisitions. In the event that the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that any proposed acquisition is a Limited Condition Acquisition and that the Borrower wishes to test the conditions to such acquisition and the Indebtedness that is to be used to finance such acquisition in accordance with this Section, then, the following provisions shall apply: (a) any condition to such acquisition or such Indebtedness that requires that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such acquisition or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, shall be satisfied if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the execution of the definitive purchase agreement, merger agreement or other acquisition agreement governing such acquisition and (ii) no Event of Default under any of Sections 9.1(a), 9.1(e) or 9.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing both before and after giving effect to such acquisition and any Indebtedness incurred in connection therewith; (b) any condition to such acquisition or such Indebtedness that the representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct at the time of such acquisition or the incurrence of such Indebtedness shall be subject to customary “certain funds” conditionality provisions (including, without limitation, a condition that the representations and warranties under the relevant agreements relating to such Limited Condition Acquisition as are material to the lenders providing such Indebtedness shall be true and correct, but only to the extent that the Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or the failure of those representations and warranties to be true and correct), so long as all representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct at the time of execution of the definitive purchase agreement, merger agreement or other acquisition agreement governing such acquisition; (c) any financial ratio test or condition may be tested either (i) upon the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition or (ii) upon the consummation of the Limited Condition Acquisition and related incurrence of Indebtedness, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition and related incurrence of Indebtedness, on a pro forma basis; and 35

 

(d) except as provided in the next sentence, if the Borrower has made an election with respect to any Limited Condition Acquisition to test a financial ratio test or condition at the time specified in clause (c)(i) of this Section, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the relevant date of execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have been consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any calculation of a ratio in connection with determining (A) the Applicable Margin, (B) whether the Borrower can make a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 8.6(o), (C) whether the Borrower can make a Restricted Debt Payment pursuant to Section 8.8(a)(iv) and (D) whether or not the Borrower is in compliance with the requirements of Section 8.1 shall, in each case be calculated assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have not been consummated. The foregoing provisions shall apply with similar effect during the pendency of multiple Limited Condition Acquisitions such that each of the possible scenarios is separately tested. SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF TERM COMMITMENTS 2.1 Term Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender with an Initial Term Commitment agrees to make Initial Term Loans to the Borrower in Dollars on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of its Initial Term Commitment. The Initial Term Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 4.3. 2.2 Procedure for Term Loan Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (ii) prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans) requesting that the applicable Term Lenders make the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Term Lender thereof. Not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, each applicable Term Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Initial Term Loans to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Initial Term Loans available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. 2.3 Repayment of Term Loans. On each Quarterly Payment Date, beginning with the Quarterly Payment Date ending on September 30, 2019, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to the amount set forth below opposite such Quarterly Payment Date. Quarterly Payment Date Amortization Payment Each Quarterly Payment Date ended on or prior to $2,500,000 September 30, 2022 Each Quarterly Payment Date ended after September $3,750,000 30, 2022 and prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date The remaining unpaid principal amount of the Initial Term Loans and all other Obligations under or in respect of the Initial Term Loans shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with this Agreement, on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date. 36

 

2.4 Incremental Term Loans. (a) Borrowing Request. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to increase the Term Facility and/or request the establishment of one or more new term loan facilities (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”) with term loan commitments (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) in an amount not in excess of the Incremental Cap, and in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Cap). Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, a “Term Loan Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Person (which, if not a Lender, an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment be allocated and the amounts of such allocations. (b) Conditions. The Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective, as of such Term Loan Increase Effective Date; provided, that, subject to Section 1.6 in the case of an Incremental Term Facility incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition: (i) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Term Loan Increase Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent made as of a specific date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such specific date); (ii) no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Incremental Term Facility; (iii) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction; (iv) no Lender will be required to participate in any Incremental Term Facility without its consent; (v) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants in Section 8.1, calculated on a pro forma basis, including the application of the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment (without “netting” the cash proceeds of the applicable Incremental Facility) (and determined on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended fiscal quarter), and assuming a full drawing under all Incremental Revolving Facilities constituting revolving commitments incurred at such time; and (vi) the all-in-yield applicable to any Incremental Term Loan will be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan. (c) Terms of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be as follows: (i) terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Loan Commitments (the “Incremental Term Loans”) shall be on terms consistent with the existing Term Loans (except as otherwise set forth herein) or, to the extent not consistent with such existing Term Loans, on terms agreed upon between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (except as otherwise set forth 37

 

herein) (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans may be part of the existing tranche of Term Loans or may comprise one or more new tranches of Term Loans); (ii) the maturity date of such Incremental Term Loan shall be no earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and the weighted average life to maturity of all new Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the then remaining weighted average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans; (iii) the Incremental Term Loans shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured by Liens on the Collateral that are pari passu with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Initial Term Facility. The Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Term Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them (in the case of the Administrative Agent, to the extent required herein). The Increase Term Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.4 and, in the case of a Limited Condition Acquisition, subject to the provisions of Section 1.6. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Term Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Term Loans that are Term Loans made pursuant to this Agreement. (d) [Reserved]. (e) Making of Incremental Term Loans. On any Term Loan Increase Effective Date on which Incremental Term Loan Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment. (f) Ranking. The Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from (x) security interests created by the Security Documents and the guarantees of the Guarantors and (y) mandatory prepayments of the Term Facility unless the Borrower and the Lenders in respect of the Incremental Term Facility elect lesser payments. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such class of Incremental Term Loans or any such Incremental Term Loan Commitments. 2.5 [Reserved]. 2.6 Extension of Maturity Date in Respect of Term Facility. (a) Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not later than 30 days prior to the maturity date then in effect hereunder in respect of the Term Facility (the “Existing Term Facility Maturity Date”), request that each Term Lender extend such Lender’s Existing Term Facility Maturity Date in respect of the Term Facility; provided, that (i) the interest rate margins, interest rate “floors,” fees and maturity applicable to any Term Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the Extending Term Lenders and (ii) any such extension shall be on the terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Extending Term Lenders. (b) Term Lender Elections to Extend. Each Term Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of the notice referred to in clause (a) (or such other period as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall mutually agree) (the “Term Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Term Lender agrees to such extension 38

 

(and each Term Lender that determines not to so extend its Existing Term Facility Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Term Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Term Notice Date) and any Term Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Term Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Term Lender. The election of any Term Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Term Lender to so agree. (c) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Term Lender’s determination under this Section 2.6 promptly following the Term Notice Date. (d) Additional Commitment Lenders. Subject to Section 4.11, the Borrower shall have the right to replace each Non-Extending Term Lender with, and add as “Term Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Term Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 11.6; provided, that each of such Additional Term Commitment Lenders shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Term Commitment Lender shall undertake an Initial Term Commitment (and, if any such Additional Term Commitment Lender is already a Term Lender, its Initial Term Commitment shall be in addition to any other Initial Term Commitment of such Lender hereunder on such date). (e) Extension Requirement. If (and only if) any Term Lender has agreed so to extend their Existing Term Facility Maturity Date (each, an “Extending Term Lender”), the Existing Term Facility Maturity Date in respect of the Term Facility of each Extending Term Lender and of each Additional Term Commitment Lender shall be extended subject to the terms of any such notice of extension and each Additional Term Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Term Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement. (f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. As a condition precedent to such extension, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the effective date of such extension signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the effective date of such extension, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.6, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.1 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.1(c), and (B) no Default exists. In addition, on the Existing Term Facility Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Term Lender, the Borrower shall repay any non-extended Term Loans of such Non-Extending Term Lender outstanding on such date. (g) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 11.1 or 11.7 to the contrary, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enter into any amendments to this Agreement necessary or desirable to reflect the extensions pursuant to this Section 2.6. SECTION 3. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF REVOLVING COMMITMENTS 3.1 Revolving Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Initial Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Initial Revolving Commitment. During the Initial Revolving Availability Period the Borrower may use the Initial Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing the Initial Revolving Loans in whole or in part, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Initial Revolving Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 3.2 and 4.3. (b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Initial Revolving Loans on the Initial Revolving Termination Date. In addition, if at any time the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, plus 39

 

(ii) the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall, promptly, but in any event within two Business Days, repay Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. 3.2 Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Initial Revolving Availability Period on any Business Day; provided, that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (ii) prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans) (provided, that any such notice of a borrowing of Base Rate Loans to finance payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.5 may be given not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing), specifying (x) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (y) the requested Borrowing Date and (z) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $250,000 or a multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $250,000 or $100,000, as the case may be, such lesser amounts) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $500,000 or $100,000, as the case may be, such lesser amounts); provided, that borrowings of Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.11 shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum amounts. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. 3.3 Swingline Loans. (a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion (not to be unreasonably withheld), make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date to, but not including, the Initial Revolving Termination Date; provided, that (i) after giving effect to any amount requested, the Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Revolving Commitment and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested) shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment. (b) Requests for Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 not later than 1:00 p.m. on the same Business Day as each Swingline Loan of its intention to borrow, specifying (A) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (B) the amount of such borrowing, which shall be, with respect to Swingline Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (C) specifying that such Loan is to be a Swingline Loan. All Swingline Loans will be Base Rate Loans. (c) Disbursement of Swingline Loans. Not later than 3:00 p.m. on the proposed borrowing date, the Swingline Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Loans to be made on such borrowing date. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. (d) Repayment on Termination Date. The Borrower hereby agrees to repay the outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans in accordance with Section 3.2(b) (but, in any event, no later than the Initial Revolving Termination Date), together, with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon. (e) Refunding. 40

 

(i) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), by written notice given no later than 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan as a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Swingline Loans. No Revolving Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Revolving Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Revolving Lender’s failure to fund its Revolving Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Revolving Lender to fund its Revolving Percentage of a Swingline Loan. (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender within two (2) Business Days of demand, and in any event on the Initial Revolving Termination Date, in immediately available funds the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages. (iii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced with a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 3.3(b)(i), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Each Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its Swingline Participation Amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Revolving Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender. (iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in Section 3.3(b)(i) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section VI, (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 41

 

(v) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3(b) by the time specified in Section 3.3(b)(i) or 3.3(b)(iii), as applicable, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan or Swingline Participation Amount, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (f) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Section 3.3 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3.15. 3.4 [Reserved]. 3.5 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender with an Initial Revolving Commitment (other than a Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Initial Revolving Availability Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Initial Revolving Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 3.6 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided, that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments; provided, further, that such notice may be contingent on the occurrence of a refinancing or the consummation of a sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets and may be revoked or the termination date deferred if the refinancing or sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets does not occur. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $500,000, or a multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the amount of the Revolving Commitments then in effect), and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. 3.7 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders and the Loan Parties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, agrees to issue documentary or standby letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Initial Revolving Availability Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided, that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue or cause to be issued any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) have a face amount of at least $200,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender) and (iii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Initial Revolving Termination Date; provided, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the extension thereof for additional one-year periods (or a longer period if agreed to 42

Each Letter of Credit shall be governed by laws of the State of New York (unless the laws of another jurisdiction is agreed to by the respective Issuing Lender) and governed under The International Standby Practices (ISP98) or the Uniform Customs, as applicable. (b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would (i) conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (ii) violate one or more policies of general application of the Issuing Lender now or hereafter in effect. 3.8 Procedure for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension of Letters of Credit; Certain Conditions. The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender an Application requesting the issuance of the Letter of Credit and specifying the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day) and, as applicable, specifying the date of 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 Section 3.7(a)(iii)), 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. Such Application shall be accompanied by documentary and other evidence of the proposed beneficiary’s identity as may reasonably be requested by the Issuing Lender to enable the Issuing Lender to verify the beneficiary’s identity or to comply with any applicable laws or regulations, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the Patriot Act. The Issuing Lender will issue, amend, renew or extend (or cause to be issued, amended, renewed or extended) the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in the Issuing Lender’s then current standard form with such revisions as shall be requested by the Borrower and approved by the Issuing Lender, which shall have been approved by the Borrower, within (x) in the case of an issuance, five (5) Business Days of the date of the receipt of the Application and all related information and (y) in the case of an amendment, renewal or extension, three (3) Business Days of the date of the receipt of the Application and all related information. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance (or, amendment, extension or renewal, as applicable) of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof). 3.9 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility on the face amount of such Letter of Credit, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the face amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit. (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. 43

 

3.10 L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft or other demand for payment paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft or other demand for payment is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft or other demand for payment, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (it being agreed that with respect to a Letter of Credit in a currency other than Dollars, each L/C Participant shall pay the Administrative Agent the applicable amount). The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such amounts to the Issuing Lender. (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.10(a) is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, then such L/C Participant shall pay interest on such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender on demand at a rate per annum equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to be made to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.10(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant by the date that is three (3) Business Days after such payment is due, then the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.10 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.10(a), the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such L/C Participant (or in the case of any such amounts received directly by the Issuing Lender, the Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent who in turn will distribute to such L/C Participant) its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to it. 3.11 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent who shall in turn notify the Borrower of the date and amount paid by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft or other demand for payment so paid and (b) any fees, charges or other costs or expenses (other than taxes or similar amounts) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment on the next Business Day following the date on which the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft or other demand for payment is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 4.5(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 4.5(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case, the procedures 44

 

specified in Section 3.10 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 3.2 of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 3.2, if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. 3.12 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.11 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.11 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation or a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 3.12, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts other demands for payment or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower. 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 Lender 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 3.13 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft or other demand for payment shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent who in turn shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date of payment and amount paid by the Issuing Lender in respect thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft or other demand for payment presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft or other demand for payment) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 3.14 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply. 3.15 Defaulting Lenders. (a) The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of clause (b)(ii) below will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 45

 

(b) If a Revolving Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding L/C Exposure and any outstanding Revolving Percentage of such Defaulting Lender: (i) the L/C Exposure and the Revolving Percentage of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, that (x) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at the time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), (y) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Extensions of Credit may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non- Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (z) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, (A) for purposes of clause (x) in the first proviso above, such reallocation shall be given effect immediately upon the cure or waiver of such Event of Default and subject to clauses (y) and (z) above and (B) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Lender’s fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender to the extent the L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender cannot be reallocated as provided in this clause (i); and (ii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.7(b) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to, on a pro rata basis, (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s future fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and 46

 

eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or payment under any Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 were satisfied and waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and any payment under any Letter of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or payment under any Letter of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 3.15(b)(i). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.15(b)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender will not be required to issue any Letter of Credit or to amend any outstanding Letter of Credit to increase the face amount thereof, alter the drawing terms thereunder or extend the expiry date thereof, unless any exposure that would result therefrom is eliminated or fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or replacement Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a combination thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all fees pursuant to Sections 3.5(a) and 3.9 shall cease to accrue with respect to such Defaulting Lender (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees); provided, that (i) to the extent that a portion of the L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (b)(i) above, such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, and (ii) to the extent any portion of such L/C Exposure cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Issuing Lender as its interests appear (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 4.8 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section) until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated, Cash Collateralized and/or such Defaulting Lender is replaced. (e) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in clause (b) above), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Extensions of Credit and L/C Exposure of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such L/C Exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 3.16 Incremental Revolving Commitments Borrower Request. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request an increase to the Initial Revolving Commitment (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”) with revolving commitments (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) in an amount not in excess of the Incremental Cap, and in minimum increments of $500,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount equal to the remaining 47

 

Incremental Cap). Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Person (which, if not a Lender, an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (each such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Revolving Commitment be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided, that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitment. (b) Conditions. The Incremental Revolving Commitment shall become effective as of such Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date; provided, that, subject to Section 1.6 in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitments incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition: (i) subject to clause (b)(ii) below, each of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 shall be satisfied; (ii) no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Incremental Facility; (iii) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction; (iv) no existing Lender will be required to participate in any Incremental Revolving Facility without its consent; and (v) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants in Section 8.1, calculated on a pro forma basis, including the application of the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment (without “netting” the cash proceeds of the applicable Incremental Facility) (and determined on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended fiscal quarter), and assuming a full drawing under all Incremental Revolving Facilities constituting revolving commitments incurred at such time. (c) Terms of Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments.

The Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Revolving Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Revolving Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them (in the case of the Administrative Agent, to the extent required herein). The Increase Revolving Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 3.16. (d) Ranking. The Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments established pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all 48

 

the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from security interests created by the Security Documents and the guarantees of the Guarantors. 3.17 Extension of Maturity Date in Respect of Revolving Facility.Requests for ExtensionThe Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not later than thirty (30) days prior to the termination date then in effect with respect to the Revolving Facility (the “Existing Revolving Facility Maturity Date”), request that each Revolving Lender extend such Lender’s Existing Revolving Facility Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Facility; provided, that (i) the interest rate margins, interest rate “floors,” fees and maturity applicable to any extended Revolving Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the Extending Revolving Lenders and (ii) any such extension shall be on the terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Extending Revolving Lenders.Revolving Lender Elections to Extend.

The election of any Revolving Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Revolving Lender to so agree. (c) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Revolving Lender’s determination under this Section 3.17 promptly following the Revolving Notice Date. (d) Additional Commitment Lenders. Subject to Section 4.11, the Borrower shall have the right to replace each Non-Extending Revolving Lender with, and add as “Revolving Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Revolving Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 11.6; provided, that each of such Additional Revolving Commitment Lenders shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender shall undertake an Revolving Commitment (and, if any such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender is already a Revolving Lender, its Revolving Commitment shall be in addition to any other Revolving Commitment of such Lender with respect thereto on such date). (e) Extension Requirement. If (and only if) any Revolving Lender has agreed so to extend their Existing Revolving Facility Maturity Date (each, an “Extending Revolving Lender”), the Initial Revolving Termination Date in respect of such Initial Revolving Facility of each Extending Revolving Lender and of each Additional Revolving Commitment Lender shall be extended subject to the terms of any such notice of extension and each Additional Revolving Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Revolving Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement. (f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions.

Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. 4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred or issued by any Group Member after the Closing Date (other than Excluded Indebtedness), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such incurrence or issuance toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as set forth in Section 4.2(e). (b) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 in any fiscal year from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as set forth in Section 4.2(e); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as set forth in Section 4.2(e). (c) [reserved]. (d) [reserved]. (e) Unless any Increase Term Joinder or any other amendment governing any Incremental Term Loans, any Replacement Term Loans and/or any term loans provided by an Extending Term Lender provides that Incremental Term Loans, Replacement Term Loans or such term loans provided by an Extending Term Lender, as applicable, shall participate on a less than pro rata basis with the Initial Term Loans in connection with prepayments pursuant to this Section 4.2, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be applied on a pro rata basis between the Initial Term Loans and each Additional Term Facility then outstanding based on the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans under each such Term Facility then outstanding (provided, that any prepayment of Term Loans with the net proceeds of an Incremental Term Facility or Replacement Term Loans incurred for the purpose of refinancing or replacing such Term Loans shall be applied to the Term Loans of the applicable Term Facility being refinanced or replaced). With respect to Term Loans under any Term Facility, amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans of such Term Facility as directed by the Borrower (or, in 50

 

the absence of direction from the Borrower, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Term Loans of such Term Facility in direct order of maturity), and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Term Lenders of such class in accordance with Section 4.8 and first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.11. Each prepayment of the Term Loans under this Section 4.2 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. (f) Each Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant Section 4.2(b), to decline all (but not a portion) of its share of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”), in which case such Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made under Section 4.2(a) above to the extent that such prepayment is made with the Net Cash Proceeds of any Permitted Refinancing incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to decline receipt of its share of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s share of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that (and for so long as) the repatriation to the Borrower as a distribution or dividend of any amounts required to mandatorily prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.2(b) above that are attributable to any Foreign Subsidiary are (i) prohibited or delayed by applicable local Requirements of Law from being repatriated to the jurisdiction of organization of the Borrower or (ii) would result in a material and adverse Tax liability (including any withholding Tax) (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), the calculation of Net Cash Proceeds shall be reduced by such Restricted Amount; provided, that once such repatriation of any such affected Net Cash Proceeds is (x) permitted under the applicable local Requirements of Law and/or (y) would no longer result in such material and adverse Tax liability, the Group Members shall be treated as having received Net Cash Proceeds equal to the amount of such reduction. 4.3 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided, that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided, that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. (b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided, that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 4.4 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods 51

 

hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $500,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the then outstanding amount of the Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of a conversion, Base Rate Loans) to be borrowed, converted or continued) and (b) no more than five (5) Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. 4.5 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. (b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. (c) If an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, such overdue amounts shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.00%, (ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the non-default rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2.00% and (iii) in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the non-default rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2.00%, in each case, from the date of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is no longer continuing. (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and as provided in Section 3.11; provided, that interest accruing pursuant to clause (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 4.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, promptly deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.6(a). 4.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. 52

 

(a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: (i) the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as reasonably determined and conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter but at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to withdraw promptly upon a determination that the condition or situation which gave rise to such notice no longer exists), no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.7(a) above, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) or the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that (i) the circumstances described in Section 4.7(a) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, to the extent practicable (as determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which Wells Fargo is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Loan Documents unless and until (A) an event described in Section 4.7(a) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent) notifies the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 4.7 (including, without limitation, adjustments to the interest rate margins or interest rate benchmark floors as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may request to equalize (to the extent practicable), as of the effective date of such amendment, the sum of the Replacement Rate and any applicable interest rate margin with respect thereto (taking into account applicable currencies and/or interest periods) with the sum of the applicable interest rate being replaced with such Replacement Rate and the interest rate margin applicable thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 11.1), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of the amendment to which such Lender objects). To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the 53

 

Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with this clause (b), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders). 4.8 Pro Rata Treatment; Application of Payments; Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction in the Commitments of the Lenders under the applicable Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. (b) Except as provided in Section 4.2(e), each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans under any Term Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders under such Term Facility. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans under the relevant Term Facility made pursuant to Section 4.1(a) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans under such Term Facility as specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity. (c) Each payment on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans under any Revolving Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders under such Revolving Facility. (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower. 54

 

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 4.8 (i) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require or permit differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and (ii) shall not restrict any transactions permitted by Section 11.6, or any “amend and extend” transactions. 4.9 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of, taking effect of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the administration, interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender or Issuing Lender with any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (and, for purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and adopted subsequent to the date hereof): (A) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or Issuing Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; (B) shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Lender (or its applicable lending office) any additional Tax (other than any Indemnified Taxes indemnified under Section 4.10 or any Excluded Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender or Issuing Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder or thereunder; or (C) shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. (b) If any Lender or Issuing Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of, taking effect of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender or 55

 

Issuing Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (and, for purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and adopted subsequent to the date hereof) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such corporation for such reduction. (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Borrower shall pay the Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any certificate referred to above within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. 4.10 Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Indemnified Taxes. All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall (except to the extent required by any Requirement of Law) be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided, that if any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any sum paid or payable by any Loan Party under any of the Loan Documents, then (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made by any applicable withholding agent (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.10), the Lender or the applicable Agent (in the case of payments being made to such Agent for its own account), as the case may be, receives on the due date a net amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of clause (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Agent or Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.10) imposed on or payable by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth the amount 56

 

of such payment or liability delivered by a Lender (with a copy to the relevant Agent), or by an Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.10, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. (e) Status of Lenders. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, whenever reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (a) to determine whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (b) to determine, if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (c) to establish such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding Tax purposes in an applicable jurisdiction. If any form, certification or other documentation provided by a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.10(e) (including any of the specific documentation described below) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing and shall promptly update or otherwise correct the affected documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing that such Lender is not legally eligible to do so. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.10(e). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. (B) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two duly completed and executed originals of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto), (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 881(c) or 871(h) of the Code (the “Portfolio Interest Exemption”), (x) a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit Q-1, Q-2, Q-3 or Q-4, as applicable (a “Tax Status Certificate”) and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto), (iv) where such Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender has sold a participation), IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) and all required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the Portfolio Interest Exemption, a Tax Status Certificate of such beneficial owner(s) (provided, that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and not a 57

 

participating Lender, the Tax Status Certificate from the direct or indirect partner(s) may be provided by the Foreign Lender on behalf of the direct or indirect partner(s)), or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. (C) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the applicable withholding agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10(e), no Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 4.10(e) that it is not legally eligible to provide. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by the Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.10(e). (f) On or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes an Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower two duly completed and executed originals of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) if the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding or (ii) if the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, (x) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments received for its own account and (y) IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and has agreed to be treated as a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code with respect to payments received by it from the Borrower in its capacity as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10(f), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any documentation that the Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a change in Requirements of Law occurring after the Closing Date. If any documentation provided by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.10(f) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing and shall promptly update or otherwise correct the affected documentation or promptly notify the Borrower in writing that such Lender is not legally eligible to do so. (g) If any Agent or Lender determines, in its good faith discretion, that it has received a refund (whether received in cash or applied as an offset against other Taxes due) of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.10, it shall promptly pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by any Loan Party under this Section 4.10 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or Lender (including any Taxes), as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Agent or Lender, shall 58

 

repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or Lender in the event such Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s written reasonable request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Agent or Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. (h) The agreements in this Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document the resignation of the Administrative Agent and any assignment of rights by, or replacement of, any Lender. 4.11 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of, or a conversion from, Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) any other default by the Borrower in the repayment of such Eurodollar Loans when and as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Such indemnification may include an amount (other than with respect to clause (d)) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure), in each case, at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin and the Eurodollar Floor included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 4.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), (b) or (c) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage or any unreimbursed costs or expenses; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), (b) or (c). The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable, documented out-of- pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation. 4.13 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), (b) or (c) (such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), (b) is a Non-Consenting Lender or (c) is a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement financial institution or other entity; provided, that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) in the case of an Affected Lender, prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 4.12 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), (b) or (c), (iii) the replacement financial institution or entity shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 4.11 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement financial institution or entity shall be an Eligible Assignee, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 (provided, that, except in the case of clause (c) hereof, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all 59

 

additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), (b) or (c), as the case may be, (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender and (ix) in the case of a Non-Consenting Lender, the replacement financial institution or entity shall consent at the time of such assignment to each matter in respect of which the replaced Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. 4.14 Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. (b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower (or, in the case of an assignment not required to be recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(d), the assigning Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower), shall maintain the Register (or, in the case of an assignment not required to be recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(d), a Related Party Register), in each case, pursuant to Section 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each 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 Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of an assignment not required to be recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(d), the assigning Lender) hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. (c) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 4.14(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded (absent manifest error); provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further that, in the event of any inconsistency between entries made in the Register and such account of a Lender, the entries in the Register shall control. (d) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit E-1, or E-2, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount. 4.15 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.11. SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue, amend, extend, renew or participate in the Letters of Credit, each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Agent and each Lender that: 60

The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and each other Security Document is, or upon execution will be, effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof (to the extent a security interest can be created therein under the Uniform Commercial Code). In the case of the Pledged Equity Interests, when stock or interest certificates representing such Pledged Equity Interests (along with properly completed stock or interest powers endorsing the Pledged Equity Interest and executed by the owner of such shares or interests) are delivered to the Collateral Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document, when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 5.19 in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 5.19 and upon the taking of possession or control by the Collateral Agent of the Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (which possession or control shall be given to the Collateral Agent to the extent required by the Security Documents), the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral (other than Intellectual Property, if any, established under laws of jurisdictions outside the United States, except to the extent a security interest therein can be perfected 64

 

by filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code) and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case, prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Liens permitted by Section 8.3) subject, in the case of the Intellectual Property that is the subject of any application or registration, to the recordation of appropriate evidence of the Collateral Agent’s Lien in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or United States Copyright Office, as appropriate, and the taking of actions and making of filings necessary under the applicable Requirements of Law to obtain the equivalent of perfection. 5.20 Solvency. Holdings and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis), after giving effect to the Transactions and the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith and therewith, will be and will continue to be Solvent. 5.21 Senior Indebtedness.

Each of Holdings, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries represent that it will not, directly or indirectly, use any Loan, Letter of Credit or proceeds of the transaction, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such Loan, Letter of Credit or proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, to fund any activities of or business with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of Sanctions, or in any other manner that will result in a violation by any Person (including any Person participating in the transaction, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise) of Sanctions. (b) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any director, officer, agent or employee of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”) or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti- corruption law (“Anti-Corruption Laws”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA. No part of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of any Anti-Corruption Law. 5.23 [Reserved]. 5.24 Patriot Act. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with (a) the Trading with the Enemy Act, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, (b) the Patriot Act and (c) other federal or state laws relating to “know your customer” and anti- money laundering rules and regulations. 5.25 EEA Financial Institutions.

Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender or any other Secured Party. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any other Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, 92

 

property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 10.7 Indemnification. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.5 to be paid by it to any Agent Related Party (or any sub-agent thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent Related Party (or any such sub-agent thereof) such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that (a) the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against any Agent Related Party (or any such sub- agent thereof) and (b) no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense that is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 10.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letters of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender,” “Lenders,” “Secured Party” and “Secured Parties” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. 10.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, respectively, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date that is ten (10) Business Days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation as Administrative Agent or retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation as Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 10.10 Agents Generally. The Joint Lead Arrangers shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such. 10.11 Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents, the Specified Hedge Agreements or the Specified Cash Management Agreements (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceeds, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided, that the 93

 

foregoing shall not prohibit any Lender from filing proofs of claim during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any bankruptcy or other debtor relief law. 10.12 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law (as determined in good faith by the Agent), an Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties, additions to Tax or interest thereon, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 10.12, the term “Lender” shall include the Issuing Lender. SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS 11.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that (i) the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the consent of the Required Lenders) shall be required for any waiver, amendment or modification that forgives the principal amount or extends the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extends the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduces the stated rate of any interest or forgives or reduces any interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates, which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders), extends the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increases the amount or extends the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment; provided, that neither any amendment, modification or waiver of a mandatory prepayment required hereunder, nor any amendment of Section 4.2 or any related definitions, including Asset Sale or Recovery Event, shall constitute a reduction of the amount of, or an extension of the scheduled date of, any principal installment of any Loan or Note or other amendment, modification or supplement to which this clause (i) is applicable; and (ii) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall, without the consent of all Lenders: (A) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.1 without the written consent of such Lender; 94

 

(B) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release Holdings or all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case, without the written consent of all Lenders; (C) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 or any other provision in any manner which increases the obligations or diminishes the rights of any Agent without the written consent of each Agent adversely affected thereby; (E) [reserved]; (F) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 3.7 to 3.15 or any other provision hereof in any manner which increases the obligations or diminishes the rights of the Issuing Lender without the written consent of each Issuing Lender; (G) change the order of application set forth in Section 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; (H) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 4.8(a), 4.8(b) or 4.8(c) in any manner; and (I) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors or the Collateral without the written consent of all Lenders, except as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. (iii) no such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall, without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, amend, modify or waive Section 6.2 if the effect of such amendment, modification or waiver is to require the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans when such Revolving Lenders would not otherwise be required to do so. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”); provided. that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans plus accrued interest, fees and expenses related thereto, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. 95

 

If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all (or all affected) Lenders (including all Lenders under a single Facility), the consent of the Required Lenders (or Majority Facility Lenders, as the case may be) is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Administrative Agent or a Person reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right but not the obligation to purchase at par from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Term Loans and Revolving Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Term Loans and/or outstanding Revolving Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Assumption. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower may replace any Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 4.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated), modified or supplemented with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender, (b) to add one or more additional credit facilities with respect to Incremental Term Loans to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, as applicable, and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (c) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders; provided, that the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 are satisfied. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Majority Facility Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided, that, subject to the limitations set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 11.1, any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 11.2 Notices. (a) All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be either (i) in writing (including telecopy or e-mail communication) and mailed, telecopied or delivered or (ii) as and to the extent set forth in Section 11.2(b) and in the proviso to this Section 11.2(a), in an electronic medium and as delivered as set forth in Section 11.2(b): If to the Borrower: Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. 331 Treble Cove Road North Billerica, MA 01862 Attention: Robert Marshall, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Email: ***@*** Telephone: 978 ###-###-#### 96

In addition, the Borrower agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Agents in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. 97

 

(c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, “ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET. The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a reasonable opportunity to review any information proposed to be distributed to the Lenders and, if the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent that any such information should be not be distributed to Public Lenders, then the Administrative Agent will not post such information on that portion of the Platform designated for such Public Lenders unless the Borrower otherwise consents. The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) unless clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor”, (y) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws and (z) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents and (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Facility. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain 98

 

material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates nor the Administrative Agent has any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 11.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding and so long as the Commitments of any Lender have not been terminated. 11.5 Payment of Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse each Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers for all of their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the syndication of the Facilities and incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any security arrangements in connection therewith and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable invoiced fees and disbursements of counsel to such parties (provided, that, unless there is a conflict of interest, such fees and disbursements shall not include fees and disbursements for more than one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter as such parties shall deem appropriate, (ii) to pay or reimburse each Lender and Agent for all its reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, or during any workout or restructuring, including the reasonable and invoiced fees and disbursements of counsel to such parties (provided, that such fees and disbursements shall not include fees and disbursements for more than one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), (iii) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and each Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (iv) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective affiliates (including, without limitation, controlling persons) and each member, partner, director, officer, employee, advisor, agent, affiliate, successor, partner, member, representative and assign of each of the forgoing (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (regardless of whether any Loan Party is or is not a party to any such actions or suits) and any such other documents or each Letter of Credit, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or any Letter of Credit, and the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one legal counsel to such Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, if applicable, one local counsel to such persons taken as a whole in each appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction to all affected Indemnitees taken as a whole) in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document; provided, that this clause (iv) shall 99

 

not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim (all the foregoing in this clause (iv), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of any Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its controlled affiliates, officers or employees acting on behalf of such Indemnitee or any of its controlled affiliates. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer, at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 11.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of any Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its controlled affiliates, officers or employees acting on behalf of such Indemnitee or any of its controlled affiliates in connection with the Transactions. (c) The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee. 11.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) 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 Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder, except (w) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(b), (x) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(e) or (y) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.6(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors as assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 11.6(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the 100

 

assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (in the case of the Term Facility) and $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Facility), in each case, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches of Loans (if any) on a non-pro rata basis; (iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i) of this Section and, in addition, the consent of: (A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is in respect of the Term Facility and is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that, in each case, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; and (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) the Term Facility if such assignment is to an Assignee that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (y) the Revolving Facility if such assignment is to an Assignee that is not a Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and (C) in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment, the Issuing Lender; (iv) except in the case of assignments pursuant to clause (c) below, the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided, that such fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; (v) no assignment shall be permitted to be made to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries; (vi) no assignment shall be permitted to be made to a natural person; and (vii) no assignment shall be permitted to be made to a Disqualified Institution. Except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (d) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible 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 Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement 101

 

(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 11.5; provided, with respect to such Section 4.10, that such Lender continues to comply with the requirements of Sections 4.10 and 4.10(e)). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.6(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as such) shall have no liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Institution. In addition, the Loan Parties acknowledge that the Administrative Agent may upon the request of a Lender provide the list of Disqualified Institutions to such Lender. If any assignment or participation under this Section 11.6 is made to any Disqualified Institution, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution, (B) in the case of any outstanding Term Loans, purchase such Term Loans by paying the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans, in the case of clauses (x) and (y), plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees an all other amounts payable to it hereunder; provided, that, such Term Loans shall be automatically and permanently canceled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.6), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more eligible Assignees; provided, that, (I) in the case of clause (B), the applicable Disqualified Institution has received payment of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) par and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid for the applicable Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Borrower, and (II) in the case of clause (C), the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 11.6 (except that no registration and processing fee required under this Section 11.6 shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph). Nothing in this Section 11.6 shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that Holdings or the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity. (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.6 to the contrary, a Lender may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender without (a) providing any notice (including, without limitation, any administrative questionnaire) to the Administrative Agent or any other Person or (b) delivering an executed Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent; provided, that (A) such assigning Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (B) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender in connection with such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement until an Assignment and Assumption and an administrative questionnaire have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, (C) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver an Assignment and Assumption or administrative questionnaire to the Administrative Agent or any other Person shall not affect the legality, validity or binding effect of such assignment and (D) an Assignment and Assumption between an assigning Lender and its Affiliate or Approved Fund shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Assumption. (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest owing with respect to the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (d), the entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund pursuant to clause (c), as to which an Assignment and Assumption and an administrative questionnaire are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register (a “Related Party 102

 

Register”) comparable to the Register on behalf of the Borrower. The Register or Related Party Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any Lender (with respect to the Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest owing with respect to the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to such Lender only) at the Administrative Agent’s office at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Except as otherwise provided in clause (c) above, upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 11.6(b)(iv) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 11.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. Except as otherwise provided in clause (c) above, no assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register (or, in the case of an assignment pursuant to clause (c) above, the applicable Related Party Register) as provided in this clause (d). The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.” (e) Any Lender may, at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) no participation shall be permitted to be made to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor any officer or director of any such Person or a natural person or Disqualified Institution (which list of Disqualified Institutions shall be made available upon request). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1. Subject to clause (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements and obligations of those sections and Section 4.12 and 4.13, and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.10(e) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligation under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.9 or 4.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such Participant’s entitlement to a greater payment results from a change in Requirements of Law occurring after the sale of such participation. (g) Any Lender 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 Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, any central bank or any other Person, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest or to any such sale or securitization; provided, that no such pledge or 103

 

assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 11.7 Sharing of Payments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or their Affiliates or to the Lenders or their Affiliates under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall become due and payable pursuant to Section 9, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a director creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section 11.7. (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, subject to Section 10.11, each Lender and their Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which is continuing, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender or their Affiliates agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require or permit differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders. 11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic mail (in “.pdf” or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 11.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 11.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of Holdings, the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 104

Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.

At such time, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary, at the cost of the Borrower, to effect each release described in this Section 11.14 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents. 11.15 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential in accordance with its customary procedures; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to any Agent, any other Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential) other than any Disqualified Institution, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as the provisions of this Section 11.15, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect, actual or prospective, counterparty to any Hedge Agreement, or any swap, derivative or securitization transaction relating to the Borrower and its Obligations (or any professional advisor to such counterparty) or to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its Obligations, (c) to its employees, directors, members, partners, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates (it being understood that the Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed (other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this Section 11.15), (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided, that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public 106

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any swap contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): 108

 

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 11.22 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each Transaction, each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s- length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, and the Loan Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the Transactions and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (b) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers each are and have been acting solely as a principal and are not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (c) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Joint Lead Arrangers have assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party with respect to any of the Transactions or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any of the Joint Lead Arrangers have advised or are currently advising any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lead Arrangers have any obligation to any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates with respect to the Transactions except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (d) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Joint Lead Arrangers have any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (e) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the Transactions (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspects of any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents.

of any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement shall be guaranteed only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so guaranteed. (b) Each Guarantor shall be liable under its guarantee set forth in Section 2.1(a), without any limitation as to amount, for all present and future Guaranteed Obligations, including specifically all future increases in the outstanding amount of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations under the Credit Agreement and other future increases in the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not any such increase is committed, contemplated or provided for by the Loan Documents or other applicable documents governing such Guaranteed Obligations on the date hereof; provided, that (i) enforcement of such guarantee against such Guarantor will be limited as necessary to limit the recovery under such guarantee to the maximum amount which may be recovered without causing such enforcement or recovery to constitute a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under any applicable law, including any applicable federal or state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance law (after giving effect, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the reimbursement and contribution rights set forth in Section 2.2) and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the foregoing clause (i) shall be for the benefit solely of creditors and representatives of creditors of each Guarantor and not for the benefit of such Guarantor or the holders of any Capital Stock in such Guarantor. For the avoidance of doubt, the application of the provisions of this Section 2.1(b) or any similar provisions in any other Loan Document: (x) is automatic to the extent applicable, (y) is not an amendment or modification of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other applicable document governing Guaranteed Obligations and (z) does not require the consent or approval of any Person. (c) The guarantee contained in this Section 2.1 (i) shall remain in full force and effect until all the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2.1 have been paid in full (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations), notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Obligations, (ii) unless released as provided in clause (iii) below, shall survive the repayment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations under the Credit Agreement, the termination of commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement, and the release of the Collateral and remain enforceable as to all Guaranteed Obligations that survive such repayment, termination and release and (iii) shall be released when and as set forth in Section 8.15(a) or (b). (d) No payment made by the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder in respect of any other Guaranteed Obligations then outstanding or thereafter incurred. 2.2 Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation. In case any payment is made on account of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Grantor or is received or collected on account of the Guaranteed Obligations from any Grantor or its property: (a) If such payment is made by the Borrower or from its property, the Borrower shall not be entitled (i) to demand or enforce reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any other Grantor or (ii) to be subrogated to any claim, interest, right or remedy of any Secured Party against any other Person, including any other Grantor or its property. (b) If such payment is made by the Borrower or from its property in satisfaction of the reimbursement right of any Guarantor set forth in Section 2.2(c), the Borrower shall not be entitled (i) to demand or enforce reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any other Grantor or 8

 

(ii) to be subrogated to any claim, interest, right or remedy of any Secured Party against any other Person, including any other Grantor or its property. (c) If such payment is made by a Guarantor or from its property, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of all outstanding Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations), (i) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from the Borrower and (ii) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor which has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Guarantors based on the relative value of their assets (net of their liabilities, other than Secured Obligations) and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by the court. (d) If and whenever any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any Guarantor against any other Guarantor under Section 2.2(c), such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of all outstanding Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations), to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Guarantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Guarantor under Section 2.2(c)) to any security interest that may then be held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral granted to it in this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, such right of subrogation shall be enforceable solely against the Borrower and the Guarantors, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any Collateral for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded in writing by any Guarantor, then (subject to and upon payment in full of all outstanding Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations)), the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Guarantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Guarantors or of the Guarantors generally, an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Guarantors transferring, on a quitclaim basis without (to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law) any recourse, representation, warranty or obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Administrative Agent then may hold in whatever Collateral may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. (e) All rights and claims arising under this Section 2.2 or based upon or relating to any other right of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at any time arise or exist in favor of any Guarantor as to any payment on account of the Secured Obligations made by it or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the prior payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations). Until payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations), no Guarantor shall demand or receive any collateral security, payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Guarantor, such payment or distribution shall be delivered by the person making such payment or distribution directly to the Administrative Agent, for application to the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 6.5. If any such payment or distribution is received by any Guarantor, it shall be held by such Guarantor in trust, as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form received and, if necessary, duly endorsed. (f) The obligations of the Guarantors under the Loan Documents and any Specified Hedge Agreements and any Specified Cash Management Agreements, including their liability for the Secured Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not contingent upon the 9

 

validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 2.2. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectibility of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Secured Party against any Guarantor or its property. The Secured Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right. (g) Each Guarantor reserves any and all other rights of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation at any time available to it as against any other Guarantor, but (i) the exercise and enforcement of such rights shall be subject to this Section 2.2 and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall ever have any duty or liability whatsoever in respect of any such right. 2.3 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded by such Secured Party and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued, and the Guaranteed Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any Specified Hedge Agreement, any Specified Cash Management Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced, refinanced, otherwise modified or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the requisite Secured Parties) may deem reasonably advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto, except to the extent required by applicable law or any Loan Document. 2.4 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2. The Guaranteed Obligations, and each of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. All dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Specified Hedge Agreement, any Specified Cash Management Agreement, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against any 10

 

Secured Party or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Obligations or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings. 2.5 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 and the security interests created hereunder shall be reinstated and shall remain in all respects enforceable to the extent that, at any time, any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is set aside, avoided or rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, in whole or in part, and such reinstatement and enforceability shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective as fully as if such payment had not been made. 2.6 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby agrees to pay all amounts due and payable by it under this Section 2 to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Funding Office specified in the Credit Agreement. 2.7 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Section 2 in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2, or otherwise under this Section 2, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 2 constitute, and this Section 2 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. SECTION 3. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security for the complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all Secured Obligations: (a) all Accounts; 11

(a) On a continuing basis, each Grantor shall, at its sole cost and expense: (i) promptly following its knowledge thereof, notify the Collateral Agent of (1) the institution of any proceeding in any court, administrative or other governmental body or in the PTO or the United States Copyright Office, or any adverse determination in any such proceeding (other than with respect to routine or immaterial office actions or other similar determinations in the ordinary course of prosecution before the PTO or the United States Copyright Office), regarding the validity or enforceability of any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral, or such Grantor’s right to register, own or use such Intellectual Property; or (2) any events which may reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value of any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent in relation thereto, except to the extent that any such event or matter described in clauses (1) or (2) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) not take any act or omit to take any commercially reasonable act whereby any material Intellectual Property included in the Collateral may be abandoned, forfeited, dedicated to the public, invalidated, lapsed or materially impaired in any way other than in the ordinary course of business or as consistent with such Grantor’s past practice; (iii) take commercially reasonable actions to protect against and prosecute infringements, dilutions, misappropriations, and other violations of material Intellectual Property included in the Collateral (including, without limitation, commencement of a suit), and not settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to any Intellectual Property, except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment or in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) not grant any exclusive license to any other Person of any material Intellectual Property included in the Collateral that would materially detract from the value of the Collateral (taking into account the value of the license as well) or materially interfere with the ordinary course of business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than in the ordinary course of business or as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) use a commercially appropriate standard of quality (which may be consistent with such Grantor’s past practices) in connection with any Trademarks material to the business of such Grantor, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (vi) adequately control the quality of goods and services offered by any licensees of its Trademarks, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 19

 

(vii) take commercially reasonable steps to protect the secrecy of all of its material Trade Secrets, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (viii) not deliver, license or make available the source code for any software included in the Collateral to any Person who is not an employee or contractor of such Grantor, and not subject any software included in the Collateral to the terms of any “open source” or other similar license that provides for any source code of such software to be disclosed, licensed, publicly distributed, or dedicated to the public, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (b) If any Grantor shall, at any time after the date hereof, obtain any ownership or other rights in and to any additional Intellectual Property, then the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and any such Intellectual Property shall automatically constitute Collateral and shall be subject to the security interest created by this Agreement, without further action by any party (except as expressly set forth in Section 3 hereof). Further, each Grantor shall comply with the requirements of Section 7.2(a) of the Credit Agreement and each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate to include any United States applications or registrations for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights included in the Collateral (but the failure to so modify such Schedules shall not be deemed to affect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in or lien upon such Intellectual Property). (c) Such Grantor agrees to, together with the delivery of the next applicable Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.2(a) of the Credit Agreement (or such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may agree), execute a Copyright Security Agreement in substantially the form of Annex II-A, a Patent Security Agreement in substantially the form of Annex II-B and a Trademark Security Agreement in substantially the form of Annex II-C, as applicable based on the type of Intellectual Property on Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate, as such schedule may be modified from time to time in accordance with Section 5.10(b), in order to record the security interest granted herein to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties with the PTO and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable. (d) Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed, registered or recorded with the PTO or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers which the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence, create, record, preserve, protect or perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any applications or registrations for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights included in the Collateral. 5.11 [Intentionally omitted]. 5.12 [Intentionally omitted]. 5.13 Commercial Tort Claims. With respect to any Commercial Tort Claims in excess of $600,000 individually or $3,000,000 in the aggregate in value, each Grantor shall, together with the delivery of the next applicable Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.2(a) of the Credit Agreement (or such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may agree), deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed pledge supplement, substantially in the form of Annex III attached hereto. SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS 6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. 20

 

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, its material Receivables. (b) If required by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days of receipt by such Grantor) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 6.5 and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties. (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts. 6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The Collateral Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify to the Collateral Agent’s reasonable satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables. (b) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may (and each Grantor at the request of the Collateral Agent shall) notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent. (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of such Grantor’s Receivables to observe and perform in all material respects the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, in accordance with the terms of any written agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. 6.3 Investment Property. (a) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Collateral Agent has given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor may receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and may exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to Investment Property. (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have 21

 

the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and shall make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.5 and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to, and any such Issuer party hereto agrees to, after receipt by an Issuer or obligor of any instructions from the Collateral Agent in writing, to (i) comply with any such instructions without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not send any such instruction unless (A) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) such instruction is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over to Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent has instructed any Grantor to do so, all Proceeds received by such Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent substantially in the form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). 6.5 Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Secured Obligations in the following order: first, to unpaid and unreimbursed costs, expenses and fees of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (including to reimburse ratably any other Secured Parties which have advanced any of the same to the Collateral Agent), second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it toward payment of all amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Secured Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amount of the Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties, and third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it toward prepayment of the Secured Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amount of the Secured Obligations then held by the Secured Parties. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) have been paid in full, shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes of this Section, to the extent that any Obligation is unmatured or unliquidated (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) at the time any distribution is to be made pursuant to the second clause above, the Collateral Agent shall allocate a portion of the amount to be distributed pursuant to such clause for the benefit of the Secured Parties holding such Secured Obligations and shall hold such amounts for the benefit of such 22

 

Secured Parties until such time as such Secured Obligations become matured or liquidated at which time such amounts shall be distributed to the holders of such Secured Obligations to the extent necessary to pay such Secured Obligations in full (with any excess to be distributed in accordance with this Section as if distributed at such time). In making determinations and allocations required by this Section, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information provided to it by the holder of the relevant Secured Obligations (which, in the case of the immediately preceding sentence shall be a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Secured Obligations) and shall not be required to, or be responsible for, ascertaining the existence of or amount of any Secured Obligations. 6.6 UCC and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by this Agreement or required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (to the extent payable in accordance with Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement), to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as set forth in Section 6.5, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise of any rights hereunder other than any such claims, damages and demands that may arise from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of any Loan Documents by such Secured Party or its controlled affiliates, officers or employees acting on behalf of such Secured Party or any of its controlled affiliates. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral is required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. 6.7 Registration Rights. (a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor 23

 

acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, to the extent permitted by applicable law, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. (b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement. 6.8 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency (to the extent payable in accordance with Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement). 6.9 Intellectual Property. (a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments, in favor of the Collateral Agent or its designee, of such Grantor’s right, title, and interest in, to and under the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral in recordable form as applicable, and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, but shall in no way be obligated, to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral and/or to bring suit in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties, to enforce the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral. In the event of such suit, each Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts, including joinder as a party, and execute any and all documents requested by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement, and the Grantors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of its rights under this Section 6.9(b) (to the extent payable in accordance with Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement). In the event that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral, each Grantor agrees, at the request of the Collateral Agent, to take all actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent and/or obtain a recovery for the infringement or other violation of rights in, diminution in value of, or other damage to any of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral by any Person, in each case, in accordance with Section 5.10(a)(iii). (c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies hereunder, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants 24

 

to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive license and sublicense (in each case, exercisable without payment of royalties or other compensation to such Grantor) to make, have made, use, sell, copy, distribute, perform, make derivative works, publish, and exploit in any other manner for which an authorization from the owner of such Intellectual Property would be required under applicable Requirements of Law, with rights of sublicense, any of the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses included in the Collateral now or hereafter owned by or licensed to such Grantor, wherever the same may be located; provided, that (i) the applicable Grantor shall have such rights of quality control and inspection which are reasonably necessary under applicable Requirements of Law to maintain the validity and enforceability of such Trademarks, (ii) subject to preexisting exclusive licenses and those granted after the date hereof that are Permitted Liens, any sublicenses duly granted by Collateral Agent under this license grant shall survive in accordance with their terms as direct licenses of the Grantor, in the event of the subsequent cure of any Event of Default that gave rise to the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies, and (iii) the license shall be irrevocable until the termination of the Credit Agreement, or as to Collateral as to which the Lien is released under Section 8.15(b), at such time as the sale, transfer or disposal occurs; provided, that it only may be exercised during the continuance of an Event of Default. The foregoing license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof. SECTION 7. THE COLLATERAL AGENT 7.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to, during the continuance of an Event of Default, take any and all appropriate actions and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or reasonably desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following when an Event of Default shall be continuing: (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or contract of such Grantor or with respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or contract of such Grantor or with respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor whenever payable; (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill connected with the use thereof or symbolized thereby and the general intangibles of such Grantor represented thereby; (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; 25

 

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and (v) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral of such Grantor; (C) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral of such Grantor; (D) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral of such Grantor; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (G) subject to any permitted licenses and reserved rights permitted under the Loan Documents, assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business connected with the use of or symbolized by any Trademark), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral of such Grantor as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral of such Grantor and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do. The Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply with, or cause performance or compliance with, such agreement. (c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable as to each Grantor until this Agreement is terminated and all security interests created hereby with respect to the Collateral of such Grantor are released. 7.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Parties to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of 26

 

their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except, in the case of the Collateral Agent only in respect of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, to the extent required by applicable law. 7.3 Financing Statements. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, or any similar document in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect or otherwise protect the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein, including describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property” or using words of similar import and may add thereto “whether now owned or hereafter acquired”. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Collateral Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof. 7.4 Authority, Immunities and Indemnities of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges, and, by acceptance of the benefits hereof, each Secured Party agrees, that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as among the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and that the Collateral Agent shall have, in respect thereof, all rights, remedies, immunities and indemnities granted to it in the Credit Agreement. By acceptance of the benefits hereof, each Secured Party that is not a Lender agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement applicable to the Collateral Agent, including Section 10 thereof, as fully as if such Secured Party were a Lender. The Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 7.5 Intellectual Property Filings. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and/or submit filings with the PTO or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office) as applicable, including the Copyright Security Agreement, the Patent Security Agreement, and the Trademark Security Agreement, or other comparable documents, and to take such other actions as may be required under applicable law for the purpose of perfecting, recording, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted by such Grantor hereunder, without the signature of such Grantor, naming such Grantor, as debtor, and the Collateral Agent, as secured party. SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS 8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement. 8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner, and addressed to such parties at the notices addresses, provided for in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement. 8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of 27

 

Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay, or reimburse each Secured Party for, all its reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with collecting against such Grantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including the reasonable and invoiced fees and disbursements of counsel, on the terms set forth in Section 11.5(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement. (b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement on the terms set forth in Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement.
