(d)                                 Subordination of Subrogation, Etc.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Lender Debt any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor with respect to any other Loan Party until the Lender Debt is irrevocably paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) and the commitments to lend hereunder have been terminated.  Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 1.4, and that the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 1.4(d).

 

(e)                                  Election of Remedies.  If the Agent may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving the Agent a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, the Agent may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 1.4.  If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, the Agent shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by the Agent, even if such action by the Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent.

 

(f)                                   Limitation.  Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 1.4 shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the amount that could be claimed by the Agent and Lenders from such Borrower under this Section 1.4 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Borrower under Section 1.4(g).

 

(g)                                  Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.  To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 1.4 of all or any of the Lender Debt (other than Loans

 

17



 

made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Lender Debt satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following payment in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations) in cash of the Lender Debt and termination of the commitments to lend hereunder, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.  As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 1.4 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.  This Section 1.4(g) is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 1.4(g) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 1.4(a).  Nothing contained in this Section 1.4(g) shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of each Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.  The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Loan Parties under this Section 1.4(g) shall be exercisable upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) of the Lender Debt and the termination of the commitments to lend hereunder.

 

(h)                                 Liability Cumulative.  The liability of Borrowers under this Section 1.4 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to the Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Lender Debt or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary

2.2                               Interest and Fees.  (a)  The Borrowers shall pay (1) cash interest on the average daily Outstanding Balance of the Loans during the prior month on the first Business Day of each month, and (2) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Outstanding Balance of the Loans on the Maturity Date, in each case, at an interest rate per annum equal to 12.0%.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at all times during the existence of any Event of Default, without notice to the Borrowers, interest on the Loans shall automatically accrue at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% in excess of the rate then otherwise applicable to such Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) shall be payable in cash on the earlier of (i) the next date for payment of interest pursuant to Sections 2.2(a) above and (ii) the date on which Agent makes demand therefor.

19



 

organized or has its principal or registered lending office, (ii)  taxes attributable to the failure by any Lender or Agent to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (g) of this Section 2.4; (iii) with respect to a Lender, any U.S. federal withholding tax that is in effect and would apply to amounts payable hereunder under the law applicable at such time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or such Lender designates a new applicable lending office, except to the extent such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new applicable lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.4; and (iv) any U.S.  federal withholding taxes imposed as a result of FATCA (except where the applicable Lender has delivered to the Borrowers all required documentation to establish its exemption from FATCA) (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any such Taxes are so levied or imposed on any payment to any Lender, the Borrowers will make additional payments in such amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by such Lender, after withholding or deduction for or on account of all Taxes, including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4, will be equal to the amount provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrowers with respect to any payments hereunder, the Borrowers shall furnish promptly to the Agent information, including certified copies of official receipts (to the extent that the relevant governmental authority delivers such receipts), evidencing payment of any such Taxes so withheld or deducted. If the Borrowers fail to pay any such Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required information evidencing payment of any such Taxes so withheld or deducted, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or such Lender as a result of any such failure.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes, any intangibles tax or any other sales, excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies now or hereafter assessed that arise from and are attributable to any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or performance of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and any and all recording fees relating to any Loan Documents securing any Lender Debt (“Other Taxes”).

 

(c)                                  The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender for the full amount of any and all Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.4) paid or payable by the Agent or such Lender (whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Indemnification payments due to the Agent or any Lender under this Section 2.4 shall be made within 5 (five) days from the date the Agent or such Lender makes written demand therefor.

Lender’s share thereof. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the entries made by the Agent as provided in this Section 2.4(f) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(g)                                  Any Lender and the Agent, in each case, which is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and thereafter upon the expiration, invalidity or obsolescence of any previously delivered form, shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, furnish to the Borrowers and the Agent, as applicable, either (i) one accurate and complete originally executed IRS Form W-8BEN and a certificate to the effect that the Lender or the Agent is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, is not a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC and is not a controlled foreign corporation described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC, or (ii) IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY, or W-8ECI.  Any Lender and the Agent, in each case, which is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and thereafter upon the expiration, invalidity or obsolescence of any previously delivered form, shall provide to the Borrowers and the Agent, as applicable, a IRS Form W-9 or other forms or information establishing an exemption from U.S. backup withholding.

 

(h)                                 Any Lender shall deliver any other applicable U.S. IRS forms to claim exemption or reduction of U.S. federal withholding to the Borrowers and the Agent, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, and to the extent that, in the judgment of such Lender, such delivery would be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

(i)                                     If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as may be necessary for the Lender and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

2.5                               Indemnities.  (a)  The Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify the Agent and each Lender on demand against any loss or expense which the Agent or such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any of the following any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or any portion thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, by irrevocable notice of payment or prepayment, or otherwise). The Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall provide to the Borrowers a statement, supported when applicable by documentary evidence, explaining the amount of any such loss or expense it incurs, which statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(b)                                 The Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Lenders, and each of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, representatives, counsel and employees and each other Person, if any, controlling them or any of their respective Affiliates within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements for one counsel to the Agent and for the Lenders, taken as a group (with exceptions for conflicts of interest, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and one counsel with respect to each regulatory specialty)) and liabilities which may

 

21



 

be incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party with respect to or arising out of the Loans contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents, the Collateral (including, without limitation, the use thereof by any of such Persons or any other Person, the exercise by any Indemnified Party of rights and remedies or any power of attorney with respect thereto, and any action or inaction of any Indemnified Party under and in accordance with any Loan Documents), the use of proceeds of any financial accommodations provided hereunder, any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (pending or threatened) relating thereto, or the role of any such Person or Persons in connection with the foregoing whether or not they or any other Indemnified Party is named as a party to any legal action or proceeding (“Claims”). The Borrowers will not, however, be responsible to any Indemnified Party hereunder for any Claims to the extent that a court having jurisdiction shall have determined by a final nonappealable judgment that any such Claim shall have arisen out of or resulted solely from (i) actions taken or omitted to be taken by such Indemnified Party by reason of its willful misconduct or gross negligence, or (ii) a successful claim by the Borrowers against such Indemnified Party (“Excluded Claims”).

 

2.6                               Maximum Interest.  No provision of this Agreement shall require the payment to any Lender or permit the collection by any Lender of interest in excess of the maximum rate of interest from time to time permitted (after taking into account all consideration which constitutes interest) by laws applicable to the Lender Debt and binding on such Lender (such maximum rate being such Lender’s “Maximum Permissible Rate”). If the amount of interest (computed without giving effect to this Section 2.6) payable to any Lender in respect of any interest computation period would exceed the amount of interest computed in respect of such period at such Lender’s Maximum Permissible Rate, the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such period shall be computed at such Lender’s Maximum Permissible Rate and any excess shall be applied to reduce any Lender Debt (other than interest) then owing to such Lender in such order as it shall determine.

 

2.7                               Incremental Loans.

 

(a)                                 The Borrowers may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Agent (whereupon the Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) request one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “New Loans”), which may be of the same class as any existing class of Loans or a separate class of Loans (the “New Commitments”) for the purpose of funding Preferred Stock Redemptions; provided that both immediately before and immediately after the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2(a)-(d) shall be satisfied.  The terms and provisions of New Commitments (and the Loans in respect of the foregoing) shall be as agreed between the Borrowers, the lenders providing such New Commitments and the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders: (a) such New Commitments shall (x) rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Initial Term Loan made on the Closing Date and (y) may not be (I) secured by any assets other than Collateral or (II) guaranteed by any Person other than a Guarantor, (b) New Loans shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date, (c) New Loans shall not have any scheduled amortization, (d) the New Loans may not participate in optional prepayments and mandatory prepayments on a greater than pro rata basis than the Loans, (e) the proceeds shall be used to fund Preferred Stock Redemptions and (f) the material terms of any such New Commitments, taken as a whole, shall be no more favorable to the new Lenders than those applicable to the Loans. The Borrowers shall offer each of Lender the opportunity to provide New Commitments on a pro rata basis (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans), but no Lender shall be obligated to provide any New Commitments unless it so agrees.

 

(b)                                 Each notice from the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant New Loans and the date on which the Borrower proposes that the same shall be effective.  New Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender shall have any obligation to make a portion of any New Loan) or by any new lender

 

22



 

approved by the Required Lenders (each such lender, an “Additional Lender”).  New Commitments shall become effective under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers, each existing Lender agreeing to provide such New Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender agreeing to provide such New Commitment, if any, and the Agent.  The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.8.  The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions as the Borrowers and the Lenders providing such Commitment shall agree, including, to the extent requested by the Agent, receipt by the Agent of (a) (i) customary officer’s certificates and board resolutions and (ii) customary opinions of counsel to the Loan Parties, in each case, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date and (b) supplemental or reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be requested by the Agent in order to ensure that any New Commitment are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

23


 

(b)                                 Lender Advances.  The Required Lenders shall notify the Agent of the proposed Lender Advance, including the date on which such Lender Advance is to be made and the principal amount thereof.  Upon receipt of the notice, the Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of the notice to the other Lenders and the Borrowers.  Each Lender shall have the opportunity to provide the Lender Advance on a pro rata basis (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans), but no Lender shall be obligated to provide any part of the Lender Advance unless it so agrees.

(j)                                    Judgments or orders for payment of money (other than judgments or orders in respect of which adequate insurance is maintained for the full payment thereof) in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate against the Loan Parties remain unpaid, unstayed on appeal, undischarged, unbonded, or undismissed for a period of 30 days or more.

 

(k)                                 Any of the following occurs: (i) the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is enjoined, restrained or in any way prevented by the order of any court or any Governmental Entity from conducting all or any material part of its business; (ii) the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries suffers the loss, revocation or termination of any material license, permit, lease or agreement necessary to its business; (iii) there is a cessation of any material part of the business of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iv) any Governmental Entity (including, without limitation, the Internal Revenue Service or the PBGC) files a notice of a Lien against any assets of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(l)                                     The Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to discharge within a period of 30 days after the commencement thereof any attachment, sequestration, forfeiture, or similar proceeding or proceedings against any of its Properties.

 

(m)                             An ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect, or any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate fails to pay when due, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, any installment payment with respect to any Withdrawal Liability.

(o)                                 Any circumstance or circumstances occurs that could have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

9.2                               Events of Default; Remedies.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Delayed Draw Commitments to be terminated, whereupon such Delayed Draw Commitments shall be terminated and declare the Maturity Date to have occurred with respect to the Loans, and all Lender Debt related thereto (including, but not limited to, accrued but unpaid interest and, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the Applicable Premium if such acceleration is on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date), shall become immediately due and payable in full without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default under clause (h) of Section 9.1 occurs, the Delayed Draw Commitments shall automatically be terminated and the Maturity Date will be deemed to have occurred automatically and without notice and all Lender Debt (including, but not limited to, accrued but unpaid interest and, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the Applicable Premium if such acceleration is on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date) shall automatically become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.  Upon any such declaration or designation, the Agent and the Lenders shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided after default under the UCC and under other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or any other Loan

Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Lender Debt, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the Agent in its discretion granted hereunder or at the direction of the applicable Lenders as set forth hereunder.

 

ARTICLE 10
 THE AGENT

 

10.1                        Agency Provisions.  (a)  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its administrative and collateral agent and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Lender and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

 

(b)                                 Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for the benefit and obligation (subject to this Agreement) of the Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent of its powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (ii) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Loan Party or other Person; (iii) act as collateral agent for the Lender Group for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (iv) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (v) exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise.

 

(c)                                  Each Person serving as an agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an agent and each such Person and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Guarantor or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

 

(d)                                 The duties of the Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Agent will not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Agent will not be required to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or thereby that the Agent is required to exercise pursuant to written instructions by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.1), and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the Agent will not be required to disclose, and will not be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of the Guarantors that is communicated to or obtained by the Agent serving as an agent or any of the Agent’s respective Affiliates in any capacity.

 

(e)                                  The Agent will not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with respect to the Loans, with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent may request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their

 

44



 

indemnification obligations under Section 10.1(o) against all Claims that could be incurred by any Agent Indemnitees (as defined below) in connection with any act. Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. In no event shall the Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to applicable law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

 

(f)                                   The Agent shall not be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Loan Party or Lender of any obligations under the Loan Documents. The Agent will not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice thereof is given to the Agent by a Borrower or a Lender, and the Agent will not be responsible for, or be required to ascertain or inquire into, any of the following: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement; (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith; (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document; (v) the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; (vi) the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Lender Debt; (vii) the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party; or (viii) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

 

(g)                                  The Agent may rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document, or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone or other means and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), accountants, appraisers, auditors, business valuation experts, environmental engineers or consultants, turnaround consultants, and other professionals and experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such professionals or experts selected by it with reasonable care.

 

(h)                                 The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through its respective Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Persons of the Agent.

 

(i)                                     With respect to the release of Collateral, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by it upon any Property covered by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (i) upon the Full Payment of all Lender Debt; (ii) if any such Property constitutes Property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents (and the Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any certificate stating that the Property is being sold or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, without further inquiry); (iii) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral; or (iv) with the written consent of the Required Lenders (or, if such release releases all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders). The Lenders

 

45



 

authorize the Agent to subordinate its Liens to any purchase money Lien permitted hereunder. The Agent will not be required to execute any release on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty. No release of Collateral authorized under this Section 10.1(i) will in any manner discharge, affect, or impair any Liens upon all interests retained, all of which will continue to constitute part of the Property covered by the Loan Documents. The Agent shall have no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrowers, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that the Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.

 

(j)                                    With respect to perfecting security interests in Collateral which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any comparable provision of any Lien perfection statute in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected only by possession, each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender and the Agent as its agent for the purpose of perfecting such interest. Should any Lender obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request, shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions.

 

(k)                                 The Agent may forward to each Lender, when complete, copies of any field audit, examination or appraisal report prepared by or for the Agent with respect to any Loan Party or Collateral. Each Lender agrees (i) that the Agent does not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any report, and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any such report; (ii) that such reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that the Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Lender Debt or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records as well as upon representations of the Loan Parties’ officers and employees; and (iii) to keep all such reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, and not to distribute any such report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s participants, attorneys and accountants) or use any report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other Lender Debt. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and any other Person preparing a report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any report, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of the Agent furnishing a report to such Lender.

 

(l)                                     In the event that a petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar law is filed by or against any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person obligated under any Loan Document, the Agent is authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to file proofs of claim on behalf of itself and the Lenders in such proceeding for the total amount of obligations owed by any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person under any Loan Document. With respect to any such proof of claim which the Agent may file, each Lender acknowledges that without reliance on such proof of claim, such Lender shall make its own evaluation as to whether an individual proof of claim must be filed in respect of such obligations owed to such Lender and, if so, take the steps necessary to prepare and timely file such individual claim.

 

(m)                             Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any action to enforce any Lender Debt or Loan Documents or to realize upon any Collateral (whether by judicial action, self-help, notification of account debtors, exercise of setoff or recoupment, or otherwise), accelerate any Lender Debt, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral.

 

46



 

(n)                                 If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of any Lender Debt, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its Pro Rata Share, such Lender shall (i) immediately notify the Agent of such fact and (ii) immediately purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders such participations in the affected Lender Debt as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a pro rata basis. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

 

(o)                                 EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE AGENT AND ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, COUNSEL AND EMPLOYEES AND EACH OTHER PERSON, IF ANY, CONTROLLING THEM OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF EITHER SECTION 15 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR SECTION 20(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT (COLLECTIVELY, “AGENT INDEMNITEES”), TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY LOAN PARTIES (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE LOAN PARTIES UNDER ANY DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY AGENT INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED THE CLAIM RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM AN AGENT INDEMNITEE ACTING AS OR FOR AGENT (IN ITS CAPACITY AS AGENT). In the Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any such Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order, or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to Lenders. If the Agent is sued by any receiver, bankruptcy trustee, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by the Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by each Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata Share.

 

(p)                                 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor agent as provided in this Section 10.1(p), the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers, but unless that resignation is accepted by the Lenders, that resignation will not become effective until the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.1(p). Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor for the Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within 30 days after the Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Borrowers and such successor. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 10 and Sections 2.5, 10.1(o), and 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Agent Indemnitees in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as the Agent. Any successor to the Agent by merger or acquisition shall continue to be the Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.

 

(q)                                 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any Related Person thereof or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that the other Lenders and the Agent have made no representations or warranties concerning any Loan Party, any Collateral, or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Lender Debt. Each Lender also acknowledges

 

47



 

that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, or any Related Person thereof or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

10.2                        Replacement of Certain Lenders.  If a Lender fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Agent may, by notice to such Lender, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees specified by the Agent, pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Assumption(s) and within 3 Business Days after the Agent’s notice. Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Assumption if the Lender fails to execute same. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).

 

10.3                        Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requires the Borrowers to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.4, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would (i) eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.4 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

10.4                        No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Article 10 is an agreement solely among the Lenders and the Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Lender Debt. This Article 10 does not confer any rights or benefits upon the Borrowers or any other Person. As between the Borrowers and the Agent, any action that the Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Lender Debt shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by the Lenders.

 

ARTICLE 11
MISCELLANEOUS

 

11.1                        Amendments.  (a)  Subject to the other terms of this Section 11.1, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom by a party hereto will be effective unless in a writing signed by the Agent, the Required Lenders, and the Borrowers, and then such amendment, waiver, or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. In addition, the following provisions apply to the effectiveness of any amendment, waiver, or consent with respect to this Agreement:

 

(b)                                 No amendment will be effective to reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby.

 

(c)                                  No amendment will be effective to postpone the Maturity Date of any Loan without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby.

 

48



 

(d)                                 No amendment will be effective to release all or a material portion of the Collateral without the consent of the Agent and each Lender.

 

(e)                                  No amendment will be effective to release any Guaranty (other than in accordance with its terms) of any Loan without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby.

 

(f)                                   No amendment will be effective to change any of the provisions of this Section,  the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provisions hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby.

 

(g)                                  No agreement will be effective to amend, modify, or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent.

 

(i)                                     No failure on the part of the Agent or any Lender or any Borrower to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

 

(ii)                                  Subject to the terms of this Section 11.1, each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Required Lenders, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of their respective powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

 

11.2                        Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which may include email or facsimile) and shall be delivered to each applicable party at the address set forth under its name on Schedule 11.2 hereto (or in the case of a Lender, as set forth in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a party hereto) or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties hereto. All notices by the Borrowers to the Agent shall be delivered by an Authorized Officer. Notices and communications sent by email and facsimile shall be effective when sent (and shall be immediately followed by hard copy sent by regular mail), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received.

 

11.3                        Assignments; Participations.  (a)  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, that no Borrower may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Agent and Lenders.

 

(b)                                 Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.3(c), each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Agent, provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or to any Affiliate or branch of any Lender, or to any trust or special purpose funding vehicle, whether or not the Agent maintains any interest in such trust or special purpose funding vehicle. The Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of any such assignment; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Parent Borrower shall not affect the validity of such assignment.

 

(c)                                  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that

 

49



 

such fee shall not apply to an assignment to another Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or to any assignment to an Affiliate of ABC Funding.

 

(d)                                 Subject to acceptance by the Agent, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and shall be bound by the terms of each of the other Loan Documents, 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 the other Loan Documents (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 2.5 and 11.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.3 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 11.3(f).

 

(e)                                  Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 11.3(c), if applicable, and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 11.3(c), the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption.

 

(f)                                   Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, any other Lender or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities(a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, if applicable, all or a portion of its commitments and the loans and advances owing to it); provided 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 Borrowers, the other Lenders and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, except that any such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 11.1(a) that affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The Borrowers agree, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.3(c). A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.5 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 Borrowers’ prior written consent.

 

(g)                                  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (and subject to the consent of the Agent, the Collateral) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal

 

50



 

Reserve Bank, and this Section 11.3 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
