PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

 

The Borrower may desire to obtain loans from time to time.

 

Each Conduit Lender may, in its absolute and sole discretion, make loans to the Borrower from time to time.

 

The Committed Lenders in each Related Group (if a Conduit Lender in its Related Group does not make a loan requested by the Borrower) shall make such loan, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

The Insurer has issued a financial guaranty insurance policy, effective on the date hereof, that pursuant to the terms thereof insures the timely payment of interest on the Loans on each Settlement Date and the payment of principal of the Loans on the Termination Date.

 

JPMorgan Chase Bank has been requested and is willing to act as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the Funding Agents and the Insurer in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

The proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely (i) to pay the purchase price of the Receivables, Collections and Seller Related Security and the SunGard

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE II

 

The Facility Limit and Borrowings

 

SECTION 2.01. The Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Conduit Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion make loans, and each Committed Lender will (to the extent the Conduit Lender(s) in its Related Group do not make such loans) make loans to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 (each such loan, a “Loan”) from time to time, on any Settlement Date until the Amortization Date based upon the Monthly Report delivered with respect to the immediately preceding Determination Date; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any Borrowing, the

 

3


Outstanding Amount of the Loans of any Related Group shall not exceed such Related Group’s Related Group Limit, and (ii) after giving effect to any Borrowing, the Outstanding Amount of all Loans will not exceed the lesser of (x) the Facility Limit less the Outstanding Amount of the Bridge Loans, and (y) the Borrowing Base. Within the limits of each Related Group’s Related Group Limit, and each Committed Lender’s Commitment, and subject further to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.03, and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

 

SECTION 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. (a) (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.02(a)(i), the Borrower may request only CP Rate Loans. If a Conduit Lender declines to make a Loan, or if a Related Group does not have a Conduit Lender, any requested Loan will be made as a Committed Loan. Each Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone, and which shall be irrevocable except as specified below. In the case of an outstanding Committed Loan, continuation or conversion of such Loan shall be made upon the Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone, and which shall be irrevocable except as specified below. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent:

 

(A) in the case of CP Rate Loans, by 3:00 p.m. two Business Days before proposed date of Borrowing (or in the case of a Borrowing of CP Rate Loans on the Closing Date, by 12:00 noon on the Business Day preceding the Closing Date);

 

(B) in the case of Base Rate Loans, by 1:00 p.m. on the same Business Day as the proposed date of Borrowing;

 

(C) in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, by 1:00 p.m. three Business Days before the proposed date of Borrowing or continuation or conversion of LIBO Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Loans.

 

(ii) Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Following the receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall deliver the Loan Notice to the Funding Agents with a copy to the Insurer. Following the receipt of a Loan Notice, the Funding Agent of each Related Group will determine whether each related Conduit Lender will make its portion of the requested Loan and promptly notify the Administrative Agent if such Conduit Lender will not make such Loan. If a Conduit Lender declines to make the proposed Loan, then, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Section 2.01, the Committed Lenders in such Conduit Lender’s Related Group shall make such Loan.

 

(iii) Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and a multiple of

 

4


$100,000, or in the remaining amount of the applicable Related Group’s Related Group Limit.

 

(iv) Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (A) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing of CP Rate Loans, a continuation of LIBO Rate Loans, or a conversion of Committed Loans to CP Rate Loans, (B) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Settlement Date), and (C) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued; provided, however, that the Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Loan shall end on the next Settlement Date. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of CP Rate Loans, and all or a portion of such Borrowing is made as a Committed Loan, such Committed Loan will be made (1) if there is not enough time to determine the applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate, as a Base Rate Loan and converted as soon as practicable to a LIBO Rate Loan with an Interest Period ending on the next following Determination Date, and (2) otherwise as a LIBO Rate Loan with an Interest Period ending on the next following Determination Date. The Borrower may from time to time request that any outstanding Committed Loan of any Committed Lender be converted into a CP Rate Loan made by the Conduit Lender in the same Related Group, and such Conduit Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion make such Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the proceeds of such CP Rate Loan will be applied to the payment of principal of such Committed Loan.

 

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Funding Agent of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Borrowing, and, if no timely notice of a Borrowing, conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Borrower in Same Day Funds not later than 12:00 noon, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Borrowing, Sections 4.01 and 4.02), the Lenders shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on their respective books with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower. If a Related Group contains more than one Conduit Lender and/or Committed Lender, allocations of Loans among such Conduit Lenders and/or Committed Lenders may be made by the applicable Funding Agent in its discretion.

 

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBO Rate Loan may be continued or converted to a Base Rate Loan only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. Upon the existence of and during the continuance of an Early Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as LIBO Rate Loans.

 

5


(d) Upon a request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will request each Funding Agent to promptly provide the Borrower with an estimate of the prevailing CP Rate of the Conduit Lenders in its Related Group. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBO Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the LIBO Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in JPMorgan Chase Bank’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

 

(e) The failure of any Committed Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve it or any other Committed Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing. If a Committed Lender fails to make its Pro Rata Share of any Loan, all other non-defaulting Committed Lenders will be obligated to make additional Loans (not subject to the minimum and multiple requirements of Section 2.02(a)(iii)) on a pro rata basis based on the Related Group Limits of each such non-defaulting Committed Lender, but not in excess of such non-defaulting Committed Lender’s applicable Related Group Limit.

 

SECTION 2.03. Prepayments. (a) [Reserved].

 

(b) Mandatory. If the Outstanding Amount of all Loans on any day exceeds the lesser of (x) the Facility Limit less the Outstanding Amount of the Bridge Loans, and (y) the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly prepay or cause to be promptly prepaid Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (the “Overadvance Amount”) and give notice in the form of Exhibit K hereto to the Administrative Agent and the Insurer of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Funding Agent of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Related Group’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. The Overadvance Amount will be payable as set forth in Section 2.03(c). Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall be paid to the applicable Related Group in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

 

(c) Application of Collections. On each Business Day, the Borrower shall allocate and apply the funds on deposit in the Collection Account in the following amounts and in the following priority:

 

(i) first, (A) before the Amortization Date, on each Settlement Date (and on each following Business Day until paid in full), to the payment of accrued and unpaid Collection Agent Fee for the most recently ended Monthly Period, and (B) on and after the Amortization Date, on each Business Day, to the payment of accrued and unpaid Collection Agent Fee;

 

(ii) second, (A) before the Amortization Date, on each Settlement Date (and on each following Business Day until paid in full), ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, the Used

 

6


Fee, the Unused Fee, the Premium and interest on Loans up to the Capped Interest Amount that has accrued during the most recently completed Accrual Period (less any adjustments to any of the foregoing that would result in a reduction of the applicable amount for a prior Settlement Date), and (B) on and after the Amortization Date, on each Business Day, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letter, the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, the Used Fee, the Unused Fee, the Premium, and interest on Loans up to the Capped Interest Amount;

 

(iii) third, on any Business Day before the Amortization Date, to the payment of Overadvance Amounts;

 

(iv) fourth, on each Business Day on and after the Amortization Date, to the payment of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans;

 

(v) fifth, [reserved];

 

(vi) sixth, before the Amortization Date, on each Settlement Date (and on each following Business Day until paid in full), ratably to the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent’s and the Insurer’s accrued and unpaid reasonable costs of collection and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents for the most recently ended Accrual Period, and (B) on and after the Amortization Date, on each Business Day, to the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent’s and the Insurer’s accrued and unpaid reasonable costs of collection and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents;

 

(vii) seventh, (A) before the Amortization Date, on each Settlement Date (and on each following Business Day until paid in full), ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid Insurer Subrogation Amounts and Excess Default Rate Interest, and (B) on and after the Amortization Date, on each Business day, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid Insurer Subrogation Amounts and Excess Default Rate Interest;

 

(viii) eighth, (A) before the Amortization Date, on each Settlement Date (and on each following Business Day until paid in full), ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans in excess of the Capped Amount and that has accrued during the most recently completed Accrual Period, and (B) on and after the Amortization Date, on each Business day, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans in excess of the Capped Amount;

 

(ix) ninth, on each Business Day, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations and all other Insurer Obligations; and

 

(x) tenth, on each Business day, to the Borrower for distribution to SunGard Financing.

 

7


SECTION 2.04. Reduction of the Facility Limit. (a) The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, from time to time permanently reduce the unused amount of the Facility Limit; provided, however, that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three Business Days before the date of reduction, (ii) any partial reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and a multiple of $100,000, or in the whole unused amount; and (iii) after giving effect to such reduction, the Outstanding Amount of Loans and Bridge Loans will not be greater than the Facility Limit.

 

(b) Upon any reduction of unused amount of the Facility Limit, the face amount of the Policy shall be reduced by an equal dollar amount and the Related Group Limit of each Related Group shall be reduced by such Related Group’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the Facility Limit is reduced. All Unused Fees accrued until the effective date of any reduction of the Facility Limit shall be payable on the effective date of reduction if such date is a Settlement Date, and, if not, on the first Settlement Date after the effective date of such reduction.

 

SECTION 2.05. Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), (i) each CP Rate Loan shall bear interest on the Outstanding Amount thereof on each day at a per annum rate at the CP Rate plus the Applicable Rate, (ii) each LIBO Rate Loan shall bear interest on the Outstanding Amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate, and (iii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the Outstanding Amount on each day at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

 

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest (i) on the principal amount of Loans on and after the Early Amortization Date, and (ii) on all other past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

(c) Interest accrued during each Accrual Period on each Loan and any other amount shall be due and payable in arrears on the next following Settlement Date and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, except that so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and the Policy shall not have terminated, Excess Default Rate Interest will be payable to the Insurer.

 

SECTION 2.06. Fees. (a) Used Fee. For each Accrual Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a used fee (the “Used Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the average Outstanding Amount of Loans for such Accrual Period, and (ii) the applicable rate set forth in the Fee Letter.

 

8


(b) Unused Fee. For each Accrual Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the difference between (x) the Facility Limit, and (y) the Outstanding Amount of Loans for such Accrual Period, and (ii) the applicable rate set forth in the Fee Letter.

 

(c) Premium. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Insurer the Premium in the amounts specified in the Premium Letter.

 

(d) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Insurer such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

SECTION 2.07. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by JPMorgan Chase Bank’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided, however, that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.09(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

SECTION 2.08. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) The Borrowings made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

9


(b) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.08(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.08(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

 

SECTION 2.09. Payments Generally. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders and the Insurer to which such payment is owed, in Same Day Funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) and the Insurer of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m., shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

 

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

(c) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(d) The obligations of the Committed Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Committed Lender to make any Committed Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve it or any other Committed Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Committed Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Lender to so make its Committed Loan.

 

(e) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

 

10


(f) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of the Transaction Documents under circumstances for which the Transaction Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds ratably between the Insurer and the Lenders, and as among the Lenders, to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time.

 

SECTION 2.10. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.10 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

 

SECTION 3.01. Taxes. (a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Agent, the Insurer, or any Lender under any Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions

 

11


to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent, the Insurer, and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income or overall gross income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which such Agent, the Insurer, or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a lending office, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Transaction Document to any Agent, the Insurer, or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each of such Agent, the Insurer, and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), the Borrower shall furnish to such Agent, the Insurer, or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Agent, the Insurer, or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify such Agent, the Insurer and such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Agent, the Insurer, or such Lender arising out of such failure.

 

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Transaction Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Transaction Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

 

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent, the Insurer, and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by such Agent, the Insurer, and such Lender and (ii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that such Agent, the Insurer, or Lender, as the case may be, provides the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender, the Insurer, or such Agent makes a demand therefor.

 

12


(d) The Borrower shall be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, the Insurer, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender, the Insurer, or such Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date the Insurer, such Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of a change in the place of organization of such Lender, the Insurer, or Agent or a change in the lending office of such Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (and provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall be construed as relieving the Borrower from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a change in lending office or place of organization that precedes a change in Law to the extent such Taxes result from a change in Law).

 

(e) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Lender, the Insurer, or an Agent is subject to withholding tax imposed by any jurisdiction in which the Borrower is formed or organized at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender, the Insurer, or such Agent, as the case may be, first becomes a party to this Agreement, withholding tax imposed by such jurisdiction at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until the Insurer, such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under clause (a) of this Section 3.01 in respect of withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date.

 

(f) If the Insurer, any Lender or Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Insurer, such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Insurer, such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. The Insurer, such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided, however, that the Insurer, such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of the Insurer, a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige the Insurer, any Lender or Agent to claim any tax

 

13


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 Lender or Agent 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.

 

(g) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall internal policies of general application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate another lending office for any Loan affected by such event; provided, however, that (i) such efforts are made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and (ii) nothing in this Section 3.01(g) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (c).

 

SECTION 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBO Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBO Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBO Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

SECTION 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan, or that the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such LIBO Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO

 

14


Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

SECTION 3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on LIBO Rate Loans. (a) If any Lender or Support Party determines that, as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date hereof, or such Lender’s or Support Party’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender or Support Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBO Rate Loans, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender or Support Party in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender or Support Party is organized or maintains a lending office, (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c), then, from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender or Support Party setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Support Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or Support Party for such increased cost or reduction.

 

(b) If any Lender or Support Party determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender or Support Party (or its lending office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or Support Party or any corporation controlling such Lender or Support Party as a consequence of such Lender’s or Support Party’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s or Support Party’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender or Support Party setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Support Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or Support Party for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand.

 

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBO Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the loan commitments or the funding of the LIBO Rate

 

15


Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such loan commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender.

 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b) or (c) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor; and (ii) if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

(e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loan affected by such event; provided, however, that (i) such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and (ii) nothing in this Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d).

 

SECTION 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (in each case, whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

 

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

 

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

 

16


For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBO Rate Loan made by it at the LIBO Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBO Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

 

SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. (a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

 

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided, however, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another LIBO Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBO Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

 

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any LIBO Rate Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s LIBO Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such LIBO Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

 

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBO Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBO Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

 

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as LIBO Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into LIBO Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

 

17


(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s LIBO Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBO Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBO Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBO Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share.

 

SECTION 3.07. Payable from Collections. Amounts payable by the Borrower under Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 are payable only to the extent that funds are available under Section 2.03(c)(vii).

Administrative Agent and Other Agents

 

SECTION 10.01. Appointment and Authorization of Agents. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Transaction Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Transaction Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender) and the Insurer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the Collateral Agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Security Agreement for and in behalf of or on trust for) such Lender and the Insurer under the Security Agreement for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing, at the direct of the Controlling Party, any and all Liens on Collateral granted by the Borrower to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Agreement, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X (including, Section 10.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Transaction Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

 

36


SECTION 10.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Agreement or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

 

SECTION 10.03. Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Agreement, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to any Transaction Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.

 

SECTION 10.04. Reliance by Agents. (a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Controlling Party as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in

 

37


accordance with a request or consent of the Controlling Party and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

 

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01 and 4.02(a) and (b), 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 a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

 

SECTION 10.05. Notice of Early Amortization Event. Except as provided in Section 8.01, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Early Amortization Event, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and the Insurer, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender, the Insurer or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Early Amortization Event and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Early Amortization Event.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders and the Insurer of its receipt of any such notice and promptly deliver a copy of such notice to the Insurer and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Early Amortization Event as may be directed by the Controlling Party in accordance with Article IX; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Early Amortization Event as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders and the Insurer.

 

SECTION 10.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender and the Insurer acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any such Agent-Related Person to any Lender or the Insurer as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender and the Insurer represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender and the Insurer also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property,

 

38


financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Insurer by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

 

SECTION 10.07. Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 10.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 10.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 10.07 shall survive the Termination Date, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

 

SECTION 10.08. Agents in their Individual Capacities. JPMorgan Chase Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and their respective Affiliates as though JPMorgan Chase Bank were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, JPMorgan Chase Bank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, JPMorgan Chase Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include JPMorgan Chase Bank in its individual capacity.

 

39


SECTION 10.09. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders, the Insurer and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders, with the prior written consent of the Insurer, shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Early Amortization Event under Section 9.01(f) or (g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent,” means such successor Administrative Agent and/or supplemental Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall not have appointed a successor agent as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the Insurer shall appoint a successor agent within an additional thirty day period, and upon the earlier of such appointment or such additional thirty day period, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as aforesaid, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as either the Required Lenders or the Insurer appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders or the Insurer may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Agreement or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

 

SECTION 10.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the

 

40


principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.06 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.06 and 10.04.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 

SECTION 10.11. Collateral and Guarantee Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Transaction Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of this Agreement and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Transaction Document to any Person other than SunGard Financing or the Borrower, or (iii) subject to Section 11.01(e), if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Controlling Party.

The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Insurer shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person, the Insurer and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross

 

43


negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

 

SECTION 11.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. With respect to the Borrower Parties on one hand and the Lenders on the other, no failure by any Lender, the Insurer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each Transaction Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

 

SECTION 11.04. Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Insurer, and each Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of counsel to the Administrative Agent). The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other (reasonable, in the case of Section 11.04(a)) out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent or the Insurer. The agreements in this Section 11.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 11.04 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If the Borrower fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Transaction Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of the Borrower by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

 

SECTION 11.05. Indemnification by the Borrower. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, the Insurer, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in

 

44


any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Transaction Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment or Loan, or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or any the Borrower have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any the Borrower, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 11.05 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 11.05. The agreements in this Section 11.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

 

SECTION 11.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered

 

45


from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

 

SECTION 11.07. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither SunGard Financing nor the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee that satisfies the conditions to assignment under this Section 11.07 (an “Eligible Assignee”), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.07(e), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.07(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 11.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

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

 

(A) the Borrower; provided, however, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a Support Party of a Conduit Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Early Amortization Event under Section 9.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, any Eligible Assignee; and

 

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an Agent or an Affiliate of an Agent;

 

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

 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided, however, that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Early Amortization

 

46


Event under Section 9.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; and

 

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

 

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.07(e).

 

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any

 

47


agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 11.07(f), the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.07(b) but shall not be entitled to recover greater amounts under such Sections than the selling Lender would be entitled to recover. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender; provided, however, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

 

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 11.15 as though it were a Lender.

 

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided, however, that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 11.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Transaction Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

 

SECTION 11.08. Tax Disclosure. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Insurer, the Lenders, and the Funding Agents, and each Indemnified Party and any successor or assign of any of the foregoing (and each employee, representative or other agent of any of the foregoing) may disclose to any and all Persons, without

 

48


limitation of any kind, the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to any of the foregoing relating to such tax treatment or tax structure, and it is hereby confirmed that each of the foregoing have been so authorized since the commencement of discussions regarding the transactions.

 

SECTION 11.09. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Early Amortization Event or an Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Person, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 11.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have.

 

SECTION 11.10. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

SECTION 11.11. Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Transaction Document shall be effective as delivery of an

 

49


original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Transaction Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier.

 

SECTION 11.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Transaction Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided, however, that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Transaction Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Transaction Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

 

SECTION 11.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Transaction Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Potential Early Amortization Event or Early Amortization Event at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

 

SECTION 11.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

SECTION 11.15. Tax Forms. Each Lender and Agent that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or any successor form. If such Person fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to such Person an amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the Code.

 

SECTION 11.16. GOVERNING LAW. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS

 

50


PROVISIONS THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.

 

SECTION 11.17. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 11.17 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

SECTION 11.18. Non-Petition. (a) Each party hereto agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against the Borrower, SunGard Financing or any other obligor under any of the Transaction Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any Finance Subsidiary, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 11.18 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and the Insurer and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a

 

51


defense available to, the Borrower. (b) Each party hereto agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Conduit Lender (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Conduit Lender. (c) Each Lender, Funding Agent, the Insurer and the Administrative Agent hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Obligations, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, SunGard Financing or Borrower any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States. The provision of this Section 11.18 (a) and (b) are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, the Borrower.

 

SECTION 11.19. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot 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 Patriot Act.

 

SECTION 11.20. Assignment. The Borrower hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Insurer and the Lenders, all of its direct and indirect rights and remedies under each of the First Step Agreement, the Second Step Agreement, the Performance Undertaking and the Collection Agent Agreement. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and the Insurer, shall be entitled to exercise, without notice or consent of SunGard Funding and at the direction of the Controlling Party, any and all direct and indirect rights and remedies of SunGard Funding under the First Step Agreement, the Second Step Agreement, the Performance Undertaking and the Collection Agent Agreement from time to time, but none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Insurer shall have any obligations thereunder to any Borrower Party or any liability for any loss, expense, claim or damage incurred by or asserted against any Borrower Party by reason of the Administrative Agent’s, the Lenders’ or the Insurer’s acts or omissions relating thereto.

 

SECTION 11.21. Rights of Insurer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, the Insurer shall only have consent, voting and approval rights hereunder for so long as the Insurer remains the Controlling Party. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Insurer Default or upon termination of the Policy, and thereafter, any reference in the Transaction Documents (other than the Insurance Agreement, the Premium Letter and the Policy) to consent, voting and approval rights of the Insurer shall be without legal effect.
