35


 

Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or the application thereof (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders), provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP or application thereof prior to such change therein and the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reconciliation statements showing the difference in such calculation, together with the delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements required hereunder.

     (ii) For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers and consolidations that have been made by the Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary during the reference period or subsequent to the reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date shall be given pro forma effect as if all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers and consolidations (and all related financing transactions) had occurred on the first day of the reference period.

     (iii) For purposes of the calculations referred to herein, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations (including any cost savings associated therewith) shall be made in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

36


 

operating expense reductions, operating improvements and synergies in respect of operational changes (not resulting from an acquisition) included in any pro forma calculation shall not exceed $20,000,000 for any four consecutive fiscal quarter period unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent.
     (iv) 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 Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Rate Management Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). 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 reference period. 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 as the Borrower may designate.
     (v) Any Person that is a Borrower Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed to have been a Borrower Subsidiary at all times during the reference period, and any Person that is not a Borrower Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed not to have been a Borrower Subsidiary at any time during the reference period.

     (i) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the rate of .50% per annum on the daily amount of the difference between the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender and the Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding Swing Line Exposure) of such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates.

All accrued commitment fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not voluntarily reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment unless at the time of such reduction the Term B Balance is zero.

     (iii) The Borrower may, at its option, on up to three occasions, seek to increase the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Aggregate Term B Loan Commitment or aggregate Term A Loans by up to an aggregate amount of $50,000,000 in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such increase and whether such increase is in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, the Aggregate Term B Loan Commitment, the Term A Loans or a combination of any thereof and shall be delivered at a time when no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Term B Loan shall be permitted to be borrowed pursuant to this clause (iii) if, after giving effect thereto, the Term B Balance would exceed $250,000,000. The Borrower may, after giving such notice, offer the increase (which may be declined by any Lender in its sole discretion) in the Commitments or Term A Loans on either a ratable basis to the Lenders or on a non pro-rata basis to one or more Lenders and/or to other Lenders or entities reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. No increase in the Commitments or Term A Loans shall become effective until the existing or new Lenders extending such incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, Term B Loan Commitment or Term A Loans and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which each such existing Lender states the amount of its Commitment or Loan increase, each such new Lender becomes a party hereto, states its Commitment or Loan amount and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Lender hereunder and the Borrower accepts such incremental Commitments or Loans. In the event of an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section, the Revolving Lenders (new or existing) shall accept an assignment from the existing Revolving Lenders, and the existing Revolving Lenders shall make an assignment to the new or existing Revolving Lender accepting a new or increased Revolving Credit Commitment, of an interest in each then outstanding Revolving Credit Advance, Swing Line Loan, Letter of Credit and LC Disbursement such that, after giving effect thereto, all Revolving Credit Advances, Swing Line Loans, Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements are held ratably by the Revolving Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and shall not be subject to the assignment fee set forth in Section 12.1(ii)(B)(3). The Borrower shall make any payments under Section 3.4 resulting from such assignments. In the event of an increase in the Aggregate Term B Loan Commitment or Term A Loans pursuant to this Section, each Lender accepting a portion of such increased Aggregate Term B Loan Commitment or Term A Loans shall, on the effective date of the increase in such Aggregate Term B Loan Commitment or Term A Loans, make a loan to the Borrower (which shall be deemed to be, as applicable, a “Term A Loan” or a “Term B Loan” hereunder for all purposes hereof, including Section 2.24) in the amount of its portion of such increase. Any such increase of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, Aggregate Term B Loan Commitment or Term A Loans shall be subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower of such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

The Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Eurodollar Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Eurodollar Advances upon three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent. All voluntary principal payments in respect of the Term B Loan shall be applied to the principal installments thereof in such order as the Borrower may elect, or if not so specified on or prior to the date of such optional prepayment, in the direct order of maturity. All mandatory principal payments in respect of the Term B Loan shall be applied to the principal installments thereof under Section 2.2 in the direct order of maturity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not voluntarily prepay the Term A Loan unless at the time of such prepayment the Term B Balance is zero.
     (ii) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay the Term B Loan until paid in full; provided that in the case of any such event described in clause (i) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” if the Borrower or any Subsidiary applies (or commits to apply) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within fifteen months after receipt of such Net Proceeds to pay all or a portion of the purchase price in connection with an Acquisition permitted hereunder of a Similar Business or to acquire, restore, replace, rebuild, develop, maintain or upgrade real property, equipment or other capital assets useful or to be used in the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (and, in each case, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received a certificate of its Financial Officer stating its intention to do so and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing), then, so long as no Default has occurred and is

42


 

continuing at the time of the giving of such notice and at the time of the proposed reinvestment, no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied (or committed to be so applied) by the end of such fifteen month period, (or if committed to be so applied within such fifteen month period, have not been so applied within 180 days after such fifteen month period has expired). The Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent any such evidence reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to any commitment of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to apply Net Proceeds in accordance with this Section 2.10(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any Business Day there exist “Net Proceeds” (as defined in the Indenture) which (assuming no investment or application thereof is made within the following five Business Days) would constitute “Excess Proceeds” (as defined in the Indenture) in an amount in excess of $25,000,000 on such fifth following Business Day, then prior to such fifth following Business Day the Borrower shall prepay the Term B Loan until paid in full in an aggregate amount equal to such “Excess Proceeds” amount in excess of $25,000,000. Upon making such prepayment, the Borrower shall be relieved of any further obligation under this Section 2.10(ii) to make any prepayment with respect to such Net Proceeds.
     (iii) Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, the Borrower shall prepay the Term B Loan in an aggregate amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year multiplied by 50%. Each prepayment pursuant to this clause shall be made on or before the date that is five Business Days after the date on which annual financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(i) with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) no prepayment shall be required by this clause with respect to any fiscal year of the Borrower as to which the Senior Secured Debt Ratio is less than 3.0 to 1.0 as of the end of such fiscal year and (B) the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to this clause with respect to any fiscal year shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of (1) voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans which were accompanied by corresponding permanent reductions in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, (2) all optional prepayments of the Term A Loan or Term B Loan, (3) mandatory prepayments of the Term B Loan, in each case only to the extent that such prepayments, expenditures or investments (x) were made by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries after the start of the applicable fiscal year and prior to the due date for (or, if earlier, the actual payment date of) the prepayment under this clause with respect to such fiscal year and (y) have not resulted in a reduction of Excess Cash Flow or prepayments pursuant to this clause with respect to any prior fiscal year and (C) no prepayment shall be required with respect to the portion of Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Subsidiary that is required to maintain a minimum net worth or similar requirement under applicable law, rule or regulation or by order, decree or power of any Governmental Entity, to the extent (and only to the extent) that the payment of cash by such Subsidiary to the Borrower in respect of such portion of Excess Cash Flow (by way of dividend, intercompany loan or otherwise) would result in such Subsidiary’s failure to comply with such requirement.

43


 

     (iv) In the event that the Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary desires to make any Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 6.10(xi), the Borrower shall prepay the Term B Loan with any Excess Specified Security Sale Proceeds in the amount of $50,000,000, such prepayment to be made prior to any such Restricted Payment under Section 6.10(xi) (it being understood that after the Borrower has prepaid the Term B Loan in the amount of $50,000,000 with Excess Specified Security Sale Proceeds, it shall have no further obligation to prepay the Term B Loan under this clause (iv)).
     (v) In the event and on each occasion that the Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary makes any Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 6.10(xi) in an amount which, when aggregated with all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to Section 6.10(xi) after the Effective Date, is greater than $62,500,000, the Borrower shall, on the date such Restricted Payment is made, prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such Restricted Payment or, if less, the portion thereof which resulted in such aggregate Restricted Payment amount exceeding $62,500,000, which prepayment shall be applied to the Term B Loan until paid in full and thereafter applied to the Term A Loan.
     (vi) In the event of any voluntary or mandatory prepayment (other than pursuant to Section 2.10(iv)) of the Term B Loan, on the date of prepayment the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Term B Loan a prepayment premium in an amount equal to (A) 2% of the principal amount prepaid in the case of a prepayment on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, (B) 1% in the case of a prepayment after the first anniversary of the Effective Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date and (C) 0% thereafter.
     Section 2.11 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) and three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance. Each such notice shall specify:
     (i) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,
     (ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance,
     (iii)the Type of Advance selected, and
     (iv) in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans in funds immediately available in Chicago to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower in an account designated in writing by the Borrower.

44


 

     Section 2.12 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.12 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.10. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.10 or (y) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.9, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance (other than Swing Line Loans) into a Eurodollar Advance. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:
     (i) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation,
     (ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued, and
     (iii) the amount of such Advance which is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
     Section 2.13 Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each Floating Rate Advance (other than Swing Line Loans) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.12, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such day. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance based upon the Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.11 and 2.12 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof, plus the Applicable Margin. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date. Interest on Loans outstanding on the Effective Date shall be calculated (x) for periods up to and including the Effective Date at the rates set forth on the Pricing Schedule in the Existing Credit Agreement and (y) for periods after the Effective Date at the rates set forth in this Agreement.

     Section 2.14 Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.11, 2.12 or 2.13, during the continuance of a Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance. During the continuance of a Default under Section 7.2, unless waived by the Required Lenders or until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, (i) each overdue Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (ii) each overdue Floating Rate Advance and all overdue fees and other overdue amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum, in each case without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
     Section 2.15 Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (local time) on the date when due and shall (except with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans and except in the case of reimbursement obligations with respect to LC Disbursements for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the applicable Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.15 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrower to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.22(v).
     Section 2.16 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness, (i) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
     (i) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain the Register as set forth in Section 12.1(ii)(D).
     (ii) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

46


 

     (iii) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of a Revolving Credit Note, a Term A Note, a Term B Note or a Swing Line Note, in each case as applicable. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.1) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.
     Section 2.17 Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.
     Section 2.18 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on any date on which the Floating Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on Eurodollar Advances, commitment fees and LC Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest on Floating Rate Advances shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon, New York City time, at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance or other amount hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
     Section 2.19 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Revolving Credit Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. Promptly after notice from the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate

47


 

applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
     Section 2.20 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans and its participation in any LC Exposure and the LC Issuer may book the Letters of Credit at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Letters of Credit, participations in LC Exposure and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Letters of Credit will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Letters of Credit are to be made.
     Section 2.21 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.
     Section 2.22 Letters of Credit.
     (i) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable LC Issuer, at any time and from time to time from and including the Effective Date and prior to the Facility Termination Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the LC Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
     (ii) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall mail, hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved

48


 

by the LC Issuer) to the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (iii) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the LC Issuer, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the LC Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (x) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (y) the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.
     (iii) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (x) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (y) the Facility Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one year period may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one year periods but in no event shall the date of such Letters of Credit extend beyond the period in clause (y) hereof.
     (iv) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the LC Issuer or the Lenders, the LC Issuer hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the LC Issuer, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement made by the LC Issuer and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (v) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
     (v) Reimbursement. If the LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day next following the date notice of such drawing is given to the Borrower (any such notice received after 1:00 p.m.,

49


 

New York City time, shall be deemed received by the Borrower on the next Business Day); provided that, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.7 or 2.11 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit Advance which is a Floating Rate Advance or Swing Line Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Advance or Swing Line Loan. If the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.11 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.11 and 2.21 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the LC Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the LC Issuer or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the LC Issuer, then to such Lenders and the LC Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the LC Issuer for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of a Revolving Credit Advance or a Swing Line Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
     (vi) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (v) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (B) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (C) payment by the LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (D) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the LC Issuer, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the LC Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the LC Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are

50


 

hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the LC Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, in each case on the part of the LC Issuer, the LC Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer 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.
     (vii) Disbursement Procedures. The LC Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the LC Issuer has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the LC Issuer and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
     (viii) Interim Interest. If the LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made (or, if notice of such LC Disbursement is given later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such LC Disbursement, then from and including the next Business Day) to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement within five Business Days of the date when due pursuant to paragraph (v) of this Section, then the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date when due to and including the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the LC Issuer with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (v) of this Section to reimburse such LC Issuer shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
     (ix) Replacement of the LC Issuer. An LC Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor LC Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an LC Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced LC Issuer pursuant to paragraph (xi) of this Section. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor LC Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer under

51


 

this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “LC Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous LC Issuer, or to such successor and all previous LC Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an LC Issuer hereunder, the replaced LC Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
     (x) Cash Collateralization. If any Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph (which notice shall be delivered no earlier than the earlier of the fifth Business Day of such Default continuing and the date of any acceleration of the Obligations with respect to such Default), the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.6 or 7.7. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the LC Issuer for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of a Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults have been cured or waived.
     (xi) Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (A) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee (the “LC Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans on the face amount of such Letters of Credit during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (B) to each LC Issuer a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate per

52


 

annum separately agreed upon (but no more than 0.125% per annum) between the Borrower and such LC Issuer on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such LC Issuer’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. LC Fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the LC Issuers pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after demand. All LC Fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
     (xii) Outstanding Letters of Credit. The letters of credit set forth on Schedule 2.22 hereto (the “Outstanding Letters of Credit”) were issued or deemed issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and remain outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. The Borrower, the LC Issuer and each of the Revolving Lenders hereby agree with respect to the Outstanding Letters of Credit that effective upon the Effective Date (A) such Outstanding Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under and governed in all respects by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (B) each Lender shall participate in each Outstanding Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Outstanding Letter of Credit.
     Section 2.23 Replacement of Lender. If (i) the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender, (ii) any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Floating Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3, (iii) any Lender shall default in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, (iv) any Lender shall become insolvent or the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or (v) any Lender shall fail to consent to a departure or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents or fail to agree to any amendment thereto, which waiver, consent or amendment requires the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders directly affected thereby and has been consented to by the Required Lenders (any Lender described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) being an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may (a) elect to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have such right only if (A) concurrently with such replacement, (1) another bank or other entity (other than a Disqualified Institution) which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit D and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.1 applicable to assignments, and (2) the Borrower shall pay to such

53


 

Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (x) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (y) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans or other Obligations of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender, (B) in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, such additional payments continue to be required or such suspension is still effective and will be reduced or negated by such assignment and (C) in the case of clause (iv) above, the applicable Assignee shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents or (b) terminate all Commitments of such Affected Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender as of such termination date (including any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.4 as a result of such repayment).
     Section 2.24 Pro Rata Treatment; Intercreditor Agreements.
     (i) Except as provided below in this Section 2.24 and as required under Section 2.7, 2.10, 2.13, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5 or 11.2, each Advance, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Advance, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the commitment fee set forth in Section 2.8 and the LC Fee, each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment and each conversion of any Advance to or continuation of any Advance as an Advance of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their respective applicable outstanding Loans).
     (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment or other distribution (whether from proceeds of Collateral or any other source, whether in the form of cash, securities or otherwise, and whether made by any Loan Party or in connection with any exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender) made or applied in respect of any of the Obligations (a) following any acceleration of the Obligations, (b) during the existence of a Default under Section 7.2 or (c) during or in connection with Insolvency Proceedings involving any Loan Party (or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization in connection therewith), shall be made or applied, as the case may be, in the following order of priority (with higher priority Obligations to be paid in full prior to any payment or other distribution in respect of lower priority Obligations): (i) first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the LC Issuer in its capacity as such and the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (ratably among the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Collateral Agent in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause first payable to them); (ii) second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and fees) payable to the Lenders, including attorney fees (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause second payable to them); (iii) third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest (including any default interest) on the Term B

54


 

Loans and any Replacement Term B Loans (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause third payable to them), including interest accruing after the filing or commencement of any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, whether or not any claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is or would be allowed, allowable or otherwise enforceable in any such Insolvency Proceedings; (iv) fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Term B Loans and any Replacement Term B Loans (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause fourth held by them); (v) fifth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid fees or interest (including any default interest) on or relating to the Revolving Loans, Term A Loans, Swing Line Loans and LC Exposure (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause fifth payable to them), including interest accruing after the filing or commencement of Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, whether or not any claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is or would be allowed, allowable or otherwise enforceable in any such Insolvency Proceedings; (vi) sixth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Revolving Loans, Term A Loans, Swing Line Loans and LC Exposure (including any termination payments and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause sixth held by them) and amounts constituting Rate Management Obligations (but only to the extent such Rate Management Obligations are secured by the Collateral and the source of the applicable payment is Collateral proceeds); (vii) seventh on or after (A) the Facility Termination Date, (B) the occurrence of any Default with respect to any Loan Party described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 or (C) the declaration by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that the Loans are due and payable pursuant to Article VII, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the LC Issuer equal to one hundred one percent (101%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements to be held as cash collateral; (viii) eighth, to payment of any other Obligations due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrower, ratably; and (ix) last, in the case of proceeds of Collateral, the balance, if any, thereof, after all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, all Obligations in respect of LC Exposure but excluding any contingent obligations) have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Lender agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.24 (including, without limitation, the priority of the Obligations as set forth herein) constitute an intercreditor agreement among them for value received that is independent of any value received from the Loan Parties, and that such agreement shall be enforceable as against each Lender, including, without limitation, in any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party (including without limitation with respect to interests and costs regardless of whether or not such interest or costs are allowed as a claim in any such Insolvency Proceedings or enforceable or recoverable against the Loan Party or its bankruptcy estate), to the same extent that such agreement is enforceable under applicable non-bankruptcy law (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 510(a) of the U.S. federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable insolvency law), and that, if any Lender receives any payment or distribution in respect of any Obligation (including, without limitation, in

55


 

connection with any Insolvency Proceedings or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization therein) to which such Lender is not entitled in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Section 2.24, such amount shall be held in trust by such Lender for the benefit of the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution hereunder, and promptly shall be turned over by such Lender to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution in accordance with this Section 2.24.
     (iii) In the event there is any Disgorged Recovery in respect of any Lender’s Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Swing Line Loans or LC Exposure in any Insolvency Proceedings of any Loan Party, such Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Swing Line Loans and LC Exposure shall be deemed to be outstanding as if such Disgorged Recovery had never been received by such Lender, and each Lender agrees that the intercreditor agreements and priorities set forth in this Section 2.24 shall be enforced in accordance with their terms in respect of such Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Swing Line Loans or LC Exposure, including, without limitation, for purposes of the allocation of payments and distributions made or applied in respect of the Obligations (whether from proceeds of Collateral or otherwise), as well as for purposes of determining whether such other Lender must turn over all or any portion of any payment or other distribution received by such other Lender (whether before or after occurrence of such Disgorged Recovery) to the Administrative Agent for redistribution in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.24(ii).
ARTICLE III
YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES
     Section 3.1 Yield Protection. If, after the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of any assignee, after the date it became a party to this Agreement), the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:
     (i) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances), or
     (ii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans, or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its Eurodollar Loans, Letters of Credit or participations therein, or

56


 

requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurodollar Loans, Letters of Credit or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received by it, in each case by an amount deemed material by such Lender or such LC Issuer as the case may be,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, in connection with such Eurodollar Loans, Commitment, Letters of Credit or participations therein, then, within 30 days of written demand by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.1 shall not apply to any tax-related matters.
     Section 3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or an LC Issuer determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or such LC Issuer, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such LC Issuer is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 30 days of written demand by such Lender or such LC Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender or such LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any LC Issuer or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender or any LC Issuer. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.
     Section 3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Advances and require any

57


 

affected Eurodollar Advances to be repaid or converted to Floating Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4.
     Section 3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance.
     Section 3.5 Taxes.
     (i) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note or Letter of Credit Application shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (B) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (C) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (D) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.
     (ii) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).
     (iii) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer or such Lender as a result of its Commitment, any Loans made by it hereunder, or otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer or such Lender makes written demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.
     (iv) Each Lender and LC Issuer that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, on or before the date that it becomes party to this Agreement,

58


 

(A) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (B) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
     (v) Each Lender and LC Issuer that is incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, on or before the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such U.S. Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
     (vi) For any period during which a Lender or LC Issuer has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) of this Section 3.5 (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring

59


 

subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender or LC Issuer shall not be entitled to indemnification or gross-up under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Lender or LC Issuer that is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (iv) or (v) of this Section 3.5, the Borrower shall take such steps at such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s expense as such Lender or LC Issuer shall reasonably request to assist such Lender or LC Issuer to recover such Taxes.
     (vii) Any Lender or LC Issuer that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
     (viii) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
     (ix) If a Lender or LC Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.5 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or LC Issuer and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Entity with respect to such refund), provided that (i) the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or LC Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Entity) to the Lender or LC Issuer in the event the Lender or LC Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Entity and (ii) nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or LC Issuer to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or LC Issuer to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any

60


 

Lender or LC Issuer to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.
     Section 3.6 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Lender, materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 for any amounts paid or losses incurred by such Lender as to which such Lender has not made demand hereunder within 120 days after the date such Lender has actual knowledge of such amounts or losses and their applicability to the lending transactions contemplated hereby. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

81


 

     For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.
     The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(A) (1) such Guarantor is the surviving entity or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Person”); and

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.19, if (i) the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of Section 6.19.1 or 6.19.2 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and (ii) at any time during such fiscal quarter or thereafter until the date that is 20 days after the date the Borrower is required to deliver financial statements with respect to such period pursuant to Section 6.1, the Borrower receives a cash contribution to its equity capital in exchange for common shares of its Capital Stock and gives written notice to the Administrative Agent that such cash contribution has been received and is a Specified Equity Contribution (any amount so identified, a “Specified Equity Contribution”), then the amount of such Specified Equity Contribution will be deemed to be an increase to Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with Sections 6.19.1 and 6.19.2 at the end of such fiscal quarter (and for purposes of determining compliance with future periods that include such fiscal quarter) (but such Specified Equity Contribution shall not be included for purposes of determining the Basket Amount or other purposes hereunder); provided that (1) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be a period of at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Specified Equity Contribution is made and (2) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with Sections 6.19.1 and 6.19.2. If after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations the Borrower shall be in compliance with the requirements of Sections 6.19.1 and 6.19.2, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default in respect of such covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purposes of this Agreement. From the date on which the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent written notice of a Specified Equity Contribution with respect to a fiscal period until the 20th day after financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 for such fiscal period, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Secured Party shall exercise any rights or remedies with respect to a breach of Section 6.19.1 or 6.19.2 with respect to such fiscal period, but any such breach shall not be deemed waived for purposes of Section 4.2 until such Specified Equity Contribution is received by the Borrower.

The Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent at which time any Authorized Officer becomes aware that a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary has become a Material Domestic Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, substantially contemporaneously with any Subsidiary becoming a “Guarantor” (as defined in the Indenture), the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor hereunder pursuant to documentation as described above.

The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Guarantors to, at the expense of the Borrower, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Administrative Agent from time to time such schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (i) neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor shall be obligated hereby to grant a security interest in any asset if the granting of such security interest would result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation, (ii) the Collateral shall not include a security interest in any asset if the granting of such security interest would be prohibited by enforceable anti-assignment provisions of contracts or applicable law (after giving effect to relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code), (iii) fee-owned real property having an individual fair market value of less than $2,500,000 or aggregate fair market value of less than $10,000,000 shall be excluded from the Collateral, (iv) the Collateral shall not include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable or Portfolio Securities, or deposit or security accounts (except to the extent that the foregoing are proceeds of Collateral; provided, that in no event shall any control agreements be required) containing any of the foregoing, other assets requiring perfection through control agreements, letter-of-credit rights, leasehold real property, motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title (other than any corporate aircraft), interests in certain joint ventures and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries which cannot be pledged without the consent of one or more third parties and obligations the interest on which is wholly exempt from the taxes imposed by subtitle A of the Code, (v) the pledge of the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries shall be limited to 65% of the Capital Stock of material first-tier Foreign Subsidiaries, (vi) the Administrative Agent shall have the discretion to exclude from the Collateral immaterial assets, assets as to which it and the Borrower determine that the cost of obtaining such security interest would outweigh the benefit to the Lenders and other assets in which it may determine that the taking of a security interest would not be advisable, and (vii) no foreign law security or pledge agreements shall be required.
     Section 6.23 Holdco Covenant. Holdco shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries) to, engage in any activity or suffer to have any condition outstanding that would violate the Passive Holding Company Condition.

or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries requited to be delivered to the Lenders under this Agreement (such financial statements so restated, the “Restated Financial Statements”) as a result of (x) the historical valuation, accounting and/or processes, in each case for fiscal periods ended prior to the Effective Date, related to the investment portfolio of Holdco and its Subsidiaries or (y) the February 11, 2008 SEC non-public inquiry to Holdco shall in no event constitute a Default or Unmatured Default under this Agreement; provided, however, that (A) the Borrower furnishes to the Lenders the Restated Financial Statements promptly after the public filing thereof (and in the case of Restated Financial Statements of the Borrower, promptly after public filing of the corresponding restated financial statements of Holdco) and (B) in the event of a breach described in clause (iii) of this Section 7.14 consisting of any failure to deliver financial statements required by Section 6.1(i) or (ii) to be delivered for periods ending after the earliest period for which financial statements are being restated (the “Subsequent Financial Statements”).

ARTICLE VIII
ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
     Section 8.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.
     Section 8.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2 and Sections 8.3 and 8.4 below, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders adversely affected thereby (or in the case of subsections 8.2(ii), (iv), (v) and (vi), all of the Lenders):
     (i) Extend the final maturity of any Loan, or extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit to a date after the Facility Termination Date or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof or any LC Disbursements, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees hereunder or LC Disbursements (it being understood that the waiver of default interest pursuant to Section 2.14 shall only require the consent of Required Lenders), or amend Section 2.24(ii).
     (ii) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders.
     (iii) Increase any Commitment of any Lender hereunder (it being understood that any change to or waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Unmatured Defaults or of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase or extension of the Commitments of any Lender).
     (iv) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement (it being understood that any modification to Section 6.12 or 6.13 shall only require approval of the Required Lenders).
     (v) Amend this Section 8.2 or Section 11.2 (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.8(iii)) may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and

101


 

extensions of credit thereunder on the Effective Date and this Section 8.2 may be amended by the Required Lenders to reflect such extensions of credit.
     (vi) Release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty, except, in either case, as contemplated by Section 10.17.
Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything herein or in Section 2.8(iii) to the contrary: (A) any amendment having the effect of permitting the aggregate amount of Term B Loans allowed or incurred pursuant to Section 2.8(iii) after the date hereof to exceed $50,000,000 or permitting the Term B Balance at any time to exceed $250,000,000 shall require the consent of the Required Specified Lenders and the Required B Lenders; and (B) the consent of the Required B Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment that (1) extends the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Term B Loan, (2) alters the amount or application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10 in a manner adverse to the interests of Lenders with Term B Loans or (3) has the effect of providing Collateral to the Revolving Lenders or Lenders with Term A Loans on a basis inconsistent with Section 2.24(ii).
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, and no amendment of any provision relating to the LC Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of the LC Issuer. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Lender or any Swing Line Loan made by such Swing Line Lender shall be effective without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.1(ii)(B)(3) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the execution and delivery of all documentation required by Section 2.8(iii) to be delivered in connection with an increase to the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the new or existing Lenders whose Commitments have been affected may and shall enter into an amendment hereof (which shall be binding on all parties hereto) solely for the purpose of reflecting any new Lenders and their new Revolving Credit Commitments and any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment of any existing Lender.
     Section 8.3 Replacement Loans. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all of the outstanding Term A Loans (the “Refinanced Term A Loans”) or all of the outstanding Term B Loans (the “Refinanced Term B Loans”) or the replacement of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment (the “Refinanced Commitment”) with one or more replacement term loan tranches hereunder which shall be Loans hereunder (“Replacement Term A Loans” or the “Replacement Term B Loans”, as applicable) or one or more new revolving commitments (the “Replacement Commitments”); provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term A Loans and Replacement Term B Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term A Loans and Refinanced Term B Loans, respectively, (ii) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term A Loans and Replacement Term B Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term A Loans and Refinanced Term B Loans,

102


 

respectively, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term A Loans and Replacement Term B Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term A Loans and Refinanced Term B Loans, respectively, at the time of such refinancing, (iv) the aggregate amount of the Replacement Commitment shall not exceed the Refinanced Commitment, (v) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Commitment shall not exceed the Applicable Margin for the Refinanced Commitment, (vi) the borrower of such Replacement Term A Loans, Replacement Term B Loans or Replacement Commitment shall be the Borrower and (vii) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term A Loans, Replacement Term B Loans or Replacement Commitments shall be substantially identical to, or not materially more favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term A Loans, Replacement Term B Loans or Replacement Commitments than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term A Loans, Refinanced Term B Loans or Refinanced Commitments, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term A Loans or Term B Loans, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.
     Section 8.4 Errors. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.2, if following the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have agreed in their sole and absolute discretion that there is an ambiguity, inconsistency, manifest error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within ten Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (it being understood that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to agree to any such amendment).
     Section 8.5 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2 or as otherwise provided in Section 8.3 or 8.4, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

     Section 9.3 Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents.
     Section 9.4 Entire Agreement.

     Section 9.5 Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that the Arranger shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.6, 9.8 and 10.11 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.
     Section 9.6 Expenses; Indemnification.
     (i) The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arranger for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (limited to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) paid or incurred by such parties in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet), review, amendment (proposed or actual), modification, and administration of the Loan Documents.

expenses to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all such Persons, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Collateral Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Loan Documents.
     (ii) The Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each Lender, their respective affiliates, and each of their directors, officers and employees against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (limited to the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the indemnified Persons taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Credit Extension hereunder except to the extent that they are determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or breach of the Loan Documents by, the indemnified party (or their Related Parties) or any dispute solely among the indemnified persons (or their Related Parties) and not involving Holdco, the Borrower, the Sponsors or their Affiliates. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
     Section 9.7 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
     Section 9.8 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. The Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or breach of the Loan Documents by, the party from which recovery is sought or any dispute solely between or among the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer and/or any Lender and not involving Holdco, the Borrower, the Sponsors or their respective Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the Borrower in connection with,

105


 

arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
     Section 9.9 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to hold any Information (as defined below) which it may receive from the Borrower in connection with this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates and to the Administrative Agent and any other Lender and their respective Affiliates for use solely in connection with the performance of their respective obligations hereunder contemplated hereby, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to such Lender or to a Transferee, (iii) to regulatory officials, (iv) to any Person as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (vi) to its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, (vii) permitted by Section 12.2, and (viii) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Advances hereunder. Without limiting Section 9.4, the Borrower agrees that the terms of this Section 9.9 shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrower and each Lender (including the Administrative Agent) with respect to any Information previously or hereafter received by such Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 9.9 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by such Lender with respect to such Information. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Holdco, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their agents or representatives relating to Holdco, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their agents or other representatives or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdco or the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
     EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 9.9 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING HOLDCO AND ITS AFFILIATES, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
     ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT HOLDCO AND ITS AFFILIATES, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR

106


 

RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
     Section 9.10 Nonreliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) for the repayment of the Credit Extensions provided for herein.
     Section 9.11 Disclosure. The Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that JPMCB and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with the Borrower and its Affiliates.
     Section 9.12 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
     Section 9.13 Amendment and Restatement; Prior Defaults.
     (i) On the Effective Date the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded in its entirety hereby. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement, any Notes delivered pursuant to Section 2.16 and the other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Effective Date and (ii) such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing with only the terms thereof being modified (and, as applicable, the primary obligor being changed) as provided in this Agreement. Except in so far as the terms thereof are expressly modified hereby, nothing herein or in any Loan Document shall release any Loan Party from any payment obligation in respect of the Obligations under any Loan Document (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement). All indemnification obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement are continued hereunder.
     (ii) The parties agree that as of the Effective Date the “Waiver Period” under the Existing Credit Agreement shall terminate and all Defaults and Unmatured Defaults arising under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be permanently waived; provided that such prior or permanent waiver shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Unmatured Default arising under this Agreement upon or after the effectiveness of this Agreement.

In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents together with such rights and powers as are reasonably incident thereto.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Person.
     Section 10.4 No Responsibility for Loans. Recitals, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Unmatured Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness,

Except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
     Section 10.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
     Section 10.6 Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.
     Section 10.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender or the Administrative Agent unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the applicable date specifying its objection thereto.
     Section 10.8 Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification.

109


 

under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(vii) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
     Section 10.9 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
     Section 10.10 Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender.
     Section 10.11 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem

110


 

appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
     Section 10.12 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, sixty days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower unless at the applicable time a Default under Section 7.2, 7.6 (in respect of bankruptcy only) or 7.7 (in respect of bankruptcy only) shall have occurred and be continuing) shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent, other than a Disqualified Institution. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within forty-five days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent, other than a Disqualified Institution (with the consent of the Borrower unless at the applicable time a Default under Section 7.2, 7.6 (in respect of bankruptcy only) or 7.7 (in respect of bankruptcy only) shall have occurred and be continuing). Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time (with the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld but without the consent of any Lender) appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $250,000,000 and shall not be a Disqualified Institution. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by merger, or the Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Administrative Agent.
     Section 10.13 Administrative Agent and Arranger Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, for their respective accounts, the fees agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger pursuant to that certain fee letter agreement dated February 14, 2008, or as otherwise agreed from time to time.

111


 

     Section 10.14 Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X.
     Section 10.15 Co-Documentation Agents, Co-Syndication Agents, etc. No Lender identified in this Agreement as a “Co-Documentation Agent” or a “Co-Syndication Agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 10.11 mutatis mutandis.
     Section 10.16 Appointment of Collateral Agent. Each of the Lenders and the LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Such authorization shall include the authority to enter into the Collateral Documents (including amendments thereof to facilitate the securing of Rate Management Obligations) on such terms as it deems appropriate. All provisions of this Article X relating to the Administrative Agent (and all indemnities of the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and all provisions relating to reimbursement of expenses of the Administrative Agent by the Borrower) shall be equally applicable to the Collateral Agent mutatis mutandis.
     Section 10.17 Certain Releases of Collateral and Guarantors. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) if any of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents is sold in a transaction permitted hereunder (other than to a Loan Party), such Collateral (but not the proceeds thereof) shall be sold free and clear of the Liens created by the Collateral Documents and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take any actions deemed appropriate in order to effect the foregoing and (ii) if any Guarantor is sold in a transaction permitted hereby, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release such Guarantor from the Guaranty upon consummation of such sale.
     Section 10.18 Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement as attorney-in-fact on behalf of such Lender and agrees that in consideration of the benefits of the security being provided to such Lender in accordance with the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and by acceptance of those benefits, each Lender (including any Lender which becomes such by assignment pursuant to Section 12.1 after the date hereof) shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall comply (and shall cause any Affiliate thereof which is the holder of any First Priority Obligations (as defined therein) to comply) with such terms and provisions.

The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.1 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
     Section 11.2 Ratable Payments.

     (C) Each Lender having sold a participation in its rights or Obligations under this Agreement, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of such Participants and the rights, interests or obligations of such Participants in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payments hereunder.
     (iv) 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 without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

7


 

Secured Parties securing the First Priority Obligations, notwithstanding (i) anything to the contrary contained in any agreement or filing to which any Second Priority Secured Party may now or hereafter be a party, and regardless of the time, order or method of grant, attachment, recording or perfection of any financing statements or other security interests, assignments, pledges, deeds, mortgages and other liens, charges or encumbrances or any defect or deficiency or alleged defect or deficiency in any of the foregoing, (ii) any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code or any applicable law or any First Priority Document or Second Priority Document or any other circumstance whatsoever and (iii) the fact that any such Liens in favor of any First Priority Secured Party securing any of the First Priority Obligations are (x) subordinated to any Lien securing any obligation of any Loan Party other than the Second Priority Obligations or (y) otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed.
     (b) No First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party shall object to or contest, or support any other Person in contesting or objecting to, in any proceeding (including without limitation, any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any security interest in the Common Collateral granted to the other. Notwithstanding any failure by any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party to perfect its security interests in the Common Collateral or any avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of the security interests in the Common Collateral granted to the First Priority Secured Parties or the Second Priority Secured Parties, the priority and rights as between the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Common Collateral shall be as set forth herein.
     2.2 No Payment Subordination. The subordination of all Liens on the Common Collateral securing the Second Priority Obligations to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any First Priority Obligations is with respect to only the priority of the Liens held by or on behalf of the First Priority Secured Parties and shall not constitute a subordination of the Second Priority Obligations to the First Priority Obligations. Except as provided in Sections 2.1, 4.1 and 5.5, nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to subordinate any debt claim by a Second Priority Secured Party to a debt claim by a First Priority Secured Party. All debt claims of the First Priority Secured Parties and Second Priority Secured Parties are intended to be pari passu.
     2.3 Nature of First Priority Obligations. The Second Priority Representative on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties acknowledges that a portion of the First Priority Obligations are revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the First Priority Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the First Priority Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the Second Priority Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof. The lien priorities provided in Section 2.1 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of

8


 

either the First Priority Obligations or the Second Priority Obligations, or any portion thereof.
     2.4 Agreements Regarding Actions to Perfect Liens. (a) The Second Priority Representative on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties agrees that UCC-1 financing statements, patent, trademark or copyright filings or other filings or recordings filed or recorded by or on behalf of the Second Priority Representative shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the First Priority Representative.
     (b) The Second Priority Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties that all mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds and similar instruments (collectively, “mortgages”) now or thereafter filed, or acquired by operation of law or by assignment against real property in favor of or for the benefit of the Second Priority Representative shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the First Priority Representative and shall contain the following notation: “The lien created by this mortgage on the property described herein is junior and subordinate to the lien on such property created by any mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument now or hereafter granted to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N. A., and its successors and assigns, in such property, in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of March 25, 2008 among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent; Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee and Collateral Agent; and MoneyGram Payment Systems Worldwide, Inc., as amended from time to time.”
     (c) The First Priority Representative hereby acknowledges that, to the extent that it holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession of or “control” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) over Common Collateral pursuant to the First Priority Documents, such possession or control is also for the benefit of the Second Priority Representative and the other Second Priority Secured Parties solely to the extent required to perfect their security interest in such Common Collateral. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impose any duty on the First Priority Representative (or any third party acting on its behalf) with respect to such Common Collateral or provide the Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party with any rights with respect to such Common Collateral beyond those specified in this Agreement and the Second Priority Security Documents, provided that subsequent to the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, the First Priority Representative shall (x) deliver to the Second Priority Representative, at the Borrower’s sole reasonable cost and expense, the Common Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by the Second Priority Documents or (y) direct and deliver such Common Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs, and provided further that the provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties and shall not impose on the First Priority Secured Parties any obligations in respect of the disposition of any Common Collateral (or any proceeds thereof) that would conflict with prior perfected Liens or any claims thereon in favor of any other Person that is not a Secured Party.

9


 

     2.5 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the First Priority Collateral and the Second Priority Collateral shall be identical. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:
     (a) upon request by the First Priority Representative or the Second Priority Representative, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the First Priority Collateral and the Second Priority Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the First Priority Documents and the Second Priority Documents; and
     (b) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the First Priority Collateral and the Second Priority Collateral and guarantees for the First Priority Obligations and the Second Priority Obligations shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than (i) with respect to the first priority and the second priority nature of the security interests created thereunder and (ii) as provided in Section 2.6.
     (c) So long as the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has not occurred, if any Second Priority Secured Party shall acquire or hold any new Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Second Priority Obligation which assets are not also subject to the first-priority Lien of the First Priority Representative under the First Priority Documents, then the Second Priority Representative, will, without the need for any further consent of any other Second Priority Secured Party, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Second Priority Document, hold such Lien for the benefit of the First Lien Representative. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representative and the other Second Priority Secured Parties agree that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.5(c) shall be subject to Section 4.1.
     2.6 Bailee for Perfection. (a) The First Priority Representative agrees to hold that part of the Common Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law as collateral agent for the First Priority Secured Parties and as bailee for the Second Priority Representative (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the First Priority Documents and the Second Priority Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.6. Solely with respect to any deposit accounts under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the First Priority Representative, the First Priority Representative agrees to also hold control over such deposit accounts as agent for the Second Priority Representative.
     (b) The First Priority Representative shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party to ensure that the Common Collateral is genuine or owned by any

10


 

of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.6. The duties or responsibilities of the First Priority Representative under this Section 2.6 shall be limited solely to holding the Common Collateral as agent and bailee in accordance with this Section 2.6 and delivering the Common Collateral upon a discharge of First Priority Obligations as provided in paragraph (d) below.
     (c) The First Priority Representative acting pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall not have by reason of the First Priority Security Documents, the Second Priority Security Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party.
     (d) Upon the discharge of First Priority Obligations under the First Priority Documents to which the First Priority Representative is a party, the First Priority Representative shall promptly deliver, at Borrower’s sole reasonable cost and expense, the remaining Common Collateral (if any) in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Second Priority Representative to the extent Second Priority Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the Borrower to the extent no First Priority Obligations or Second Priority Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such Common Collateral). Upon such discharge of First Priority Obligations, the First Priority Representative further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Second Priority Representative in connection with the Second Priority Representative obtaining a first priority interest in the Common Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
     SECTION 3. Enforcement Rights.
     3.1 Exclusive Enforcement. (a) Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Loan Party, the First Priority Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Common Collateral, without any consultation with or consent of any Second Priority Secured Party. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or an event of default under the First Priority Documents, the First Priority Representative and the other First Priority Secured Parties may take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the First Priority Obligations and the Common Collateral in such order and manner as they may determine in their sole discretion subject only to any express limitation on taking such Enforcement Action contained in the First Priority Documents. Except as specifically provided in this Section 3.1 or 3.7 below, notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to a Second Priority Secured Party under any of the Second Priority Security Documents, applicable law or otherwise, no Second Priority Secured Party shall, directly or indirectly, take any Enforcement Action; provided that, upon the occurrence and continuance of the Second Priority Enforcement Date the Second Priority Secured Parties may take any Enforcement Action subject to the other terms of this Agreement;
     (b) The First Priority Representative shall respond to all reasonable written requests from the Second Priority Representative to provide written statements as to the

11


 

status of any Enforcement Action taken by the First Priority Representative. The Second Priority Representative shall respond to all reasonable written requests from the First Priority Representative to provide written statements as to the status of any Enforcement Action taken by the Second Priority Representative. Notwithstanding the occurrence and continuance of the Second Priority Enforcement Date, in no event shall any Second Priority Secured Parties commence or continue any Enforcement Action if an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Loan Party and is continuing; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the filing of an involuntary proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code by a Second Priority Secured Party to the extent otherwise permitted pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.7;
     (c) The Second Priority Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that the rights and remedies of the First Priority Representative and First Priority Secured Parties under the First Priority Documents are independent rights and remedies and that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second Priority Security Documents or any other Second Priority Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict the manner in which the First Priority Representative and any of the First Priority Secured Parties exercise (or elect not to exercise) such rights and remedies, it being understood that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, have the right to enforce their rights and remedies under the Second Priority Documents, and the First Priority Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that the rights and remedies of the Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Secured Parties under the Second Priority Documents are independent rights and remedies and that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the First Priority Security Documents or the other First Priority Documents (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict the manner in which the Second Priority Representative and any of the Second Priority Secured Parties exercise (or elect not to exercise) such rights and remedies, it is understood that notwithstanding the foregoing, the First Priority Representative and the First Priority Secured Parties shall have the right to enforce their rights and remedies under the First Priority Documents.
     (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to in any way limit or impair the right of any First Priority Secured Party or any Second Priority Secured Party to join (but not control) any Enforcement Action initiated by any other person against the Common Collateral, so long as it does not delay or interfere in any material respect with the exercise by such other person of its rights as provided in this Agreement. The foregoing shall not be construed as limiting or otherwise impairing the right of the First Priority Representative to control any Enforcement Action.
     3.2 Standstill and Waivers. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that, until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, subject to the proviso set forth in Section 5.1:
     (i) they will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which is to make any Lien in respect of any Second Priority Obligation pari passu with or senior to, or to give any Second Priority Secured Party any

12


 

preference or priority relative to, the Liens with respect to the First Priority Obligations or the First Priority Secured Parties with respect to any of the Common Collateral;
     (ii) subject to Section 4.2, they will not oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an Insolvency Proceeding) or otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Common Collateral by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party or any other Enforcement Action taken by or on behalf of the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party;
     (iii) they have no right to (x) direct either the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the Common Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Documents or (y) consent or object to the exercise by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Common Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Documents or to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the extent they may have any such right described in this clause (iii), whether as a junior lien creditor or otherwise, they hereby irrevocably waive such right);
     (iv) they will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against either First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to, and neither the First Priority Representative nor any other First Priority Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party with respect to the Common Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Documents;
     (v) they will not make any judicial or nonjudicial claim or demand or commence any judicial or nonjudicial proceedings against any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates under or with respect to any Second Priority Security Document seeking payment or damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise under or with respect to any Second Priority Security Document except for Enforcement Actions permitted hereby (other than filing a proof of claim) or exercise any right, remedy or power under or with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce, other than filing a proof of claim, any Second Priority Security Document;
     (vi) they will not commence judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of any Common Collateral, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or

13


 

otherwise take any action to enforce their interest in or realize upon, the Common Collateral or pursuant to the Second Priority Security Documents; and
     (vii) they will not seek, and hereby waive any right, to have the Common Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of the Common Collateral.
     3.3 Judgment Creditors. In the event that any Second Priority Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the First Priority Liens and the First Priority Obligations) to the same extent as all other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations (created pursuant to the Second Priority Security Documents) subject to this Agreement.
     3.4 Cooperation. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that each of them shall take such actions as the First Priority Representative shall reasonably request in writing in connection with the exercise by the First Priority Secured Parties of their rights set forth herein.
     3.5 No Additional Rights For the Borrower Hereunder. Except as provided in Section 3.6, if any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party.
     3.6 Actions Upon Breach. (a) If any Second Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against the Borrower or the Common Collateral, the Borrower, only with the prior written consent of the First Priority Secured Representative, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any First Priority Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in the name of the Borrower.
     (b) Should any Second Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to or threaten to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any First Priority Secured Party (in its or their own name or in the name of the Borrower) or the Borrower, only with the prior written consent of the First Priority Representative, may obtain relief against such Second Priority Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Second Priority Representative on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party that (i) the First Priority Secured Parties’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Second Priority Secured Party waives any defense that the Borrower and/or the First Priority

14


 

Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages.
     3.7 Permitted Actions and other Agreements. The Second Priority Representative (acting at the written direction of the majority of Second Priority Holders) and/or the Second Priority Secured Parties:
     (a) may, but shall not be obligated to, take any action as they deem necessary (subject to Section 2.1), including to file any proof of claim or other filing or to make any argument or motion, in order to create, perfect or preserve their Lien on all or any portion of the Common Collateral;
     (b) shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Priority Secured Parties, including without limitation any claims secured by the Common Collateral, if any, in each case not in contravention of the express provisions of this Agreement;
     (c) may purchase any Common Collateral at any private or judicial foreclosure sale of such Common Collateral initiated by any Secured Party or at any Section 363 hearing (i) by an all cash bid or (ii) by a credit bid pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code if, in addition to such credit bid, such bid includes cash consideration payable to the First Priority Parties equal to the First Priority Obligations;
     (d) shall be entitled to file a claim, proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second Priority Obligations in any Insolvency Proceeding; and
     (e) except as provided in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 5.1, 5.2, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.9, may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrower and any other Loan Party, including without limitation filing any pleadings, objection, motions or agreement which assert right or interests of unsecured creditors, excluding, prior to the Second Priority Enforcement Date, the right to file an involuntary proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, and including the right to file an involuntary proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code after the occurrence of the Second Priority Enforcement Date (unless the Second Priority Enforcement Date is deemed not to have occurred pursuant to the definition thereof).
     3.8 Option to Purchase.
     (a) The First Priority Representative agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to give the Second Priority Representative written notice (the “Enforcement Notice”) at least two Business Days prior to commencing any Enforcement Action with respect to a material portion of the Common Collateral following the acceleration of the First Priority Obligations. Any Second Priority Secured Party constituting not less than the Required Holders (the “Purchasing Parties”) shall have the option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the First Priority Obligations from the First Priority Secured Parties following delivery of irrevocable written notice

15


 

(the “Purchase Notice”) by the Second Priority Representative on behalf of the Purchasing Parties to the First Priority Representative no later than 25 Business Days after (i) commencement of any Enforcement Action with respect to a material portion of the Common Collateral following the acceleration of the First Priority Obligations or (ii) the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding by or against the Borrower. If the Second Priority Representative on behalf of the Purchasing Parties so delivers the Purchase Notice, the First Priority Representative shall terminate any existing Enforcement Actions and shall not take any further Enforcement Actions, provided, that the Purchase (as defined below) shall have been consummated on the date specified in the Purchase Notice in accordance with this Section 3.8.
     (b) On the date specified by the Second Priority Representative on behalf of the Purchasing Parties in the Purchase Notice (which shall be a Business Day not less than five Business Days, nor more than 20 Business Days, after receipt by the First Priority Representative of the Purchase Notice), the First Priority Secured Parties shall, subject to any required approval of any court or other governmental authority then in effect, sell to the Purchasing Parties, and the Purchasing Parties shall purchase (the “Purchase”) from the First Priority Secured Parties, the First Priority Obligations; provided, that the First Priority Obligations purchased shall not include any rights of First Priority Secured Parties with respect to indemnification and other obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority Documents that are expressly stated to survive the termination of the First Priority Documents (the “Surviving Obligations”).
     (c) Without limiting the obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority Documents to the First Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Surviving Obligations (which shall not be transferred in connection with the Purchase), on the date of the Purchase, the Purchasing Parties shall pay to the First Priority Secured Parties as the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) therefor the full amount of all First Priority Obligations then outstanding and unpaid (including principal, interest, fees, premiums, breakage costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses), and, in the case of any Hedging Obligations, the amount that would be payable by the relevant Loan Party thereunder if it were to terminate such Hedging Obligations on the date of the Purchase or, if not terminated, an amount determined by the relevant First Priority Secured Party to be necessary to collateralize its credit risk arising out of such Hedging Obligations, (ii) furnish cash collateral (the “Cash Collateral”) to the First Priority Secured Parties in such amounts as the relevant First Priority Secured Parties determine is reasonably necessary to secure such First Priority Secured Parties in connection with any outstanding letters of credit (not to exceed 105% of the aggregate undrawn face amount of such letters of credit), (iii) agree to reimburse the First Priority Secured Parties for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any fees, costs or expenses related to any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the First Priority Obligations and/or as to which the First Priority Secured Parties have not yet received final payment and (iv) agree, after written request from the First Priority Representative, to reimburse the First Priority Secured Parties in respect of indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority Documents as to matters or circumstances known to the Purchasing Parties at the time of the Purchase which could reasonably be expected to result in any loss, cost, damage or expense to any

16


 

of the First Priority Secured Parties, provided that, in no event shall any Purchasing Party have any liability for such amounts in excess of proceeds of Common Collateral received by the Purchasing Parties.
     (d) The Purchase Price and Cash Collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such account of the First Priority Representative as it shall designate to the Purchasing Parties. The First Priority Representative shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute the amounts received by it in respect of the Purchase Price to the First Priority Secured Parties in accordance with the First Priority Agreement. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the day on which the Purchase occurs if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Parties to the account designated by the First Priority Representative are received in such account prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such day if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Parties to the account designated by the First Priority Representative are received in such account later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time.
     (e) The Purchase shall be made without representation or warranty of any kind by the First Priority Secured Parties as to the First Priority Obligations, the Common Collateral or otherwise and without recourse to the First Priority Secured Parties, except that the First Priority Secured Parties shall represent and warrant: (i) the amount of the First Priority Obligations being purchased, (ii) that the First Priority Secured Parties own the First Priority Obligations free and clear of any liens or encumbrances and (iii) that the First Priority Secured Parties have the right to assign the First Priority Obligations and the assignment is duly authorized.
     3.9 Obligations Following Discharge of First Priority Obligations. Following the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, the First Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the First Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by the Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Secured Parties, or any of them, under the Second Priority Documents, including any public or private sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other disposition of the Common Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. Following the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, the First Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the First Priority Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights it may have as a lien creditor or otherwise to contest, protest, object to, interfere with the manner in which the Second Priority Representative or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties seeks to enforce the Liens in any portion of the Common Collateral (it being understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement shall govern with respect to the Common Collateral even if any portion of the Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are avoided, disallowed, set aside or otherwise invalidated in any judicial proceeding or otherwise). If the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any Common Collateral or proceeds thereof received by the First Priority Representative or any First Priority Secured Parties in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Second Priority

17


 

Representative for the benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary or reasonably requested endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
     SECTION 4. Application Of Proceeds Of Common Collateral; Dispositions And Releases Of Common Collateral; Inspection and Insurance.
     4.1 Application of Proceeds; Turnover Provisions. All proceeds of Common Collateral (including without limitation any interest earned thereon) resulting from the sale, collection or other disposition of Common Collateral in connection with or resulting from any Enforcement Action, and whether or not pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding, shall be distributed as follows: first to the First Priority Representative for application to the First Priority Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Priority Documents, until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred and thereafter, to the Second Priority Representative for application in accordance with the Second Priority Documents. Until the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, any Common Collateral, including without limitation any such Common Collateral constituting proceeds, that may be received by any Second Priority Secured Party in violation of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the First Priority Representative, for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Second Priority Secured Party hereby authorizes the First Priority Representative to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Priority Representative (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).
     4.2 Releases of Second Priority Lien. (a) Upon any release, sale or disposition of Common Collateral that results in the release of the First Priority Lien on any Common Collateral and (i) is permitted pursuant to the terms of the Second Priority Documents, (ii) results from any Enforcement Action taken by the First Priority Secured Parties or (iii) occurs pursuant to a sale under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Second Priority Lien on such Common Collateral (excluding any portion of the proceeds of such Common Collateral remaining after the First Priority Obligations Payment Date occurs) shall be automatically and unconditionally released with no further consent or action of any Person.
     (b) The Second Priority Representative shall promptly execute and deliver such release documents and instruments and shall take such further actions, at the expense of the Borrower, as the First Priority Representative shall reasonably request in writing to evidence any release of the Second Priority Lien described in paragraph (a). The Second Priority Representative hereby appoints the First Priority Representative and any officer or duly authorized person of the First Priority Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of the Second Priority Representative and in the name of the Second Priority Representative or in the First Priority Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the First Priority Representative’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this paragraph, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or

18


 

desirable to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).
     4.3 Inspection Rights and Insurance. (a) Subject to Section 4.2 and any express limitations contained in the First Priority Documents, any First Priority Secured Party and its representatives and invitees may at any time inspect, repossess, remove and otherwise deal with the Common Collateral, and the First Priority Representative may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Common Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Second Priority Secured Party or liability to any Second Priority Secured Party.
     (b) Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the First Priority Representative will have the sole and exclusive right (i) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering the Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (ii) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral.
     SECTION 5. Insolvency Proceedings.
     5.1 Filing of Motions. Except as provided in Section 5.4, solely with respect to seeking adequate protection, until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the Second Priority Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties that no Second Priority Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case in respect of any of the Common Collateral, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of any Liens or claims held by the First Priority Representative (including the validity and enforceability thereof) or any other First Priority Secured Party or the value of any claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that the Second Priority Representative may file a proof of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and the limitations on the Second Priority Representative imposed hereby.
     5.2 Financing Matters. If any Loan Party becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, and if the First Priority Representative or the First Priority Secured Parties desire to consent (or not object) to the use of cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, financing including a priming Lien under Section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code) or to consent (or not object) to the provision of such financing to any Loan Party by any third party (“DIP Financing”), then the Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that each Second Priority Secured Party (i) will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, (ii) will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in

19


 

connection with the use of such cash collateral or such DIP Financing except as set forth in paragraph 5.4 below, (iii) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Second Priority Liens (x) to such DIP Financing on the same terms as the First Priority Liens are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (y) to any adequate protection provided to the First Priority Secured Parties and (z) to any “carve-out” agreed to by the First Priority Representative or the First Priority Secured Parties, and (iv) agrees that notice received two (2) calendar days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice; provided, however that the Second Priority Second Parties may object to a DIP Financing (i) on the basis that they are not receiving adequate protection permitted under paragraph 5.4 below, (ii) to the extent the outstanding principal amount of the DIP Financing and the principal amount of the other First Priority Obligations exceed the Maximum First Priority Obligations Amount or (iii) if they do not retain a Lien on the Common Collateral or the proceeds thereof at the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding subject to any priming Lien in such DIP Financing and the priority of the First Priority Liens provided hereunder. No Second Priority Secured Party shall propose or support any third party who proposes any DIP Financing without the express written consent of the First Priority Representative, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the First Priority Representative.
     5.3 Relief From the Automatic Stay. The Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that none of them will seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Common Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Priority Representative.
     5.4 Adequate Protection. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall object, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting, (i) any request by the First Priority Representative or the First Priority Secured Parties for adequate protection or (ii) any objection by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (iii) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section and in Section 5.2, in any Insolvency Proceeding, (x) if the First Priority Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, and the First Priority Secured Parties do not object to the adequate protection being provided to them, then the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and any of the Second Priority Secured Parties, may seek or accept adequate protection solely in the form of (A) a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations and such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are so subordinated to the First Priority Obligations under this Agreement, (B) accrual (but not current payment) of interest on the Second Priority Secured Obligations, and (C) payment of reasonable

20


 

professional fees and expenses of the Second Priority Representative, and (y) in the event the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that the First Priority Representative shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Priority Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the First Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the First Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection, with such subordination to be on the same terms that the other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are subordinated to such First Priority Obligations under this Agreement.
     5.5 Avoidance Issues. (a) If any First Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Loan Party, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the First Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the First Priority Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. The Second Priority Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.
     5.6 Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding. Neither the Second Priority Representative nor any other Second Priority Secured Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any assets of any Loan Party that is supported by the First Priority Required Lenders, and the Second Priority Representative and each other Second Priority Required Lenders will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale supported by the First Priority Secured Parties and to have released their Liens in such assets.
     5.7 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Second Priority Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents and the Second Priority Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Second Priority Obligations

are fundamentally different from the First Priority Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Priority Secured Parties and Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Loan Parties in respect of the Common Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties), the First Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties, with the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to rum over to the First Priority Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Secured Parties).
     5.8 No Waivers of Rights of First Priority Secured Parties. Subject to Section 2.1(b), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Secured Party, including the seeking by any Second Priority Secured Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Second Priority Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Documents or otherwise.
     5.9 Plans of Reorganization. The Second Priority Secured Parties may propose, vote on, file and prosecute, object to, and make other filings with regard to, any plan of reorganization, unless such action would directly or indirectly result in a violation of this Agreement, whether directly by any Second Priority Secured Party or as a result of confirmation of such plan.
     5.10 Other Matters. (a) To the extent that the Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of the Common Collateral, the Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties not to assert any of such rights without the prior written consent of the First Priority Representative; provided that if requested in writing by the First Priority Representative, the Second Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the First Priority Representative, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.
     5.11 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the

22


 

commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Loan Party shall include such Loan Party as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Loan Party in any Insolvency Proceeding.
     SECTION 6. Second Priority Documents and First Priority Documents.
     (a) Each Loan Party and the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any amendment or other modification to any of the Second Priority Documents inconsistent with or in violation of this Agreement.
     (b) The First Priority Obligations may be amended, waived, increased, extended, renewed, replaced, refinanced or secured with additional collateral (provided that both the First Priority Liens and the Second Priority Liens shall attach to such additional collateral) without affecting the lien priorities of the First Priority Liens and the Second Priority Liens, subject to the covenants in the First Priority Documents and the Second Priority Documents; provided that no such amendment, waiver, increase, extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing shall increase the principal amount of the First Priority Obligations to an amount in excess of the Maximum First Priority Obligations Amount.
     (c) Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Second Priority Documents, the Second Priority Secured Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of the First Priority Representative, agree to any amendment, restatement, modification, supplement, substitution, renewal or replacement of or to any or all of the Second Priority Documents to (i) shorten the maturity of the Second Priority Obligations to be sooner than 91 days following the scheduled maturity date of the First Priority Obligations under the Existing First Priority Agreement or (ii) impose any amortization payments of principal in respect of the Second Priority Obligations and/or add any additional mandatory principal prepayments (or offers to prepay) the Second Priority Obligations, in each case, prior to the scheduled maturity date of the First Priority Obligations under the Existing First Priority Agreement.
     SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; etc.
     7.1 Reliance. The First Priority Documents are deemed to have been executed and delivered, and all extensions of credit thereunder are deemed to have been made or incurred, in reliance upon this Agreement. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, expressly waives all notice of the acceptance of and reliance on this Agreement by the First Priority Secured Parties. The Second Priority Documents are deemed to have been executed and delivered and all extensions of credit thereunder are deemed to have been made or incurred, in reliance upon this Agreement.

No right or benefit of any party hereunder shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of such party or any other party hereto or by any noncompliance by any Loan Party with the terms and conditions of any of the First Priority Documents or the Second Priority Documents.
