SCHEDULE A
Section 6.10 Burdensome Agreements. Enter into or permit to exist any Contractual Obligation (other than this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any ABL Facility Documents) that (a) limits the ability (i) of any Subsidiary (other than a Save-A-Lot Subsidiary during the Spin Period) to make Restricted Payments or other distributions to any Loan Party or to otherwise transfer property to or invest in a Loan Party, (ii) of any Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) to Guarantee the Obligations, (iii) of any Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) to make or repay loans to a Loan Party or (iv) of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist Liens on property of such Person in favor of the Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations, or (b) other than the SVU Indenture, any agreement, indenture or other arrangement evidencing the Save-A-Lot Debt and, in each case, any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, requires the grant of a Lien to secure an obligation of such Person if a Lien is granted to secure another obligation of such Person.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be prohibited from entering into any Contractual Obligation that constitutes a restriction or limitation existing by reason of:
(a) restrictions imposed by applicable law;
(b) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements applicable to joint ventures entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(c) any restrictions imposed by any agreement relating to Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 6.03 or Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, to the extent such restrictions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the restrictions contained in this Agreement or are market terms at the time of issuance (in each case as determined in good faith by the Borrower) so long as the Borrower shall have reasonably determined in good faith that such restriction will not affect its obligation and ability to make any payments required hereunder;
(d) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease governing a leasehold interest entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(e) customary provisions restricting assignment of any agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(f) customary restrictions and conditions contained in any agreement relating to the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of any asset permitted under Section 6.05 pending the consummation of such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition;
(g) customary restrictions and conditions contained in the document relating to any Lien, so long as (1) such Lien is a Permitted Encumbrance and such restrictions or conditions relate only to the specific asset subject to such Lien, and (2) such restrictions and conditions are not created for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions imposed by this Section 6.10;
(h) customary net worth provisions contained in Real Estate leases entered into by Subsidiaries, so long as the Borrower has determined in good faith that such net worth provisions would not reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to meet their ongoing obligations;
(i) any agreement in effect at the time a Person becomes a Subsidiary, so long as such agreement was not entered into in contemplation of such Person becoming a Subsidiary and such restriction applies only to such Person and its Subsidiaries (including the Equity Interests of the relevant Person or Persons);
(j) restrictions in agreements representing Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.03 of a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party (so long as such restrictions only relate to non-Loan Parties);
(k) customary restrictions contained in leases, subleases, licenses or Equity Interests or asset sale agreements otherwise permitted hereby and entered into in the ordinary course of business as long as such restrictions relate solely to the lease, sublease, license, Equity Interests or assets subject thereto, as applicable;
(l) restrictions on cash or other deposits imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(m) restrictions contained in any receivables financing documentation with respect to any Subsidiary which engages in no activities other than in connection with the financing of accounts receivable of the Borrower and/or its other Subsidiaries; or
(n) any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 6.10 imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of or similar arrangements to the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (a) through (n) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements, refinancings or similar arrangements are, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, no more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and other restrictions, taken as a whole, than those in effect prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement, refinancing or similar arrangement.
For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.10, (1) the priority of any preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common Equity Interests shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Equity Interest and (2) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Borrower or a Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.
