3.Syndication.

 

The Lead Arrangers reserve the right, prior to or after the Closing Date, to syndicate all or a portion of the Initial Lenders’ respective commitments for the Facilities hereunder to a group of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and investors (together with the Initial Lenders, the “Lenders”) identified by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers and you (your consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Arrangers will not syndicate to (A) in respect of the ABL Facility, (i) those banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and investors that have been separately identified in writing by you or by the Sponsor to us on or prior to August 21, 2017, (ii) those persons who are competitors of the Company and its subsidiaries that are separately identified in writing by you to us from time to time (which shall not apply to retroactively disqualify any person who previously acquired, and continues to hold, any loans, commitments or participations in respect of the ABL Facility) and (iii) in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), any of their affiliates (excluding, in the case of clause (ii), bona fide debt fund affiliates predominantly engaged in the business of debt investing) that are either (a) identified in writing by you from time to time, which shall not apply to retroactively disqualify any person who previously acquired, and continues to hold, any loans, commitments or participations in respect of the ABL Facility or (b) readily identifiable on the basis of such affiliate’s name (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, collectively “ABL Disqualified Lenders”) and (B) in respect of the Bridge Facility, (i) those banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and investors that have been separately identified in writing by you or by the Sponsor to us on or prior to August 21, 2017, (ii) those persons who are competitors of the Company and its subsidiaries that are separately identified in writing by you to us from time to time (which shall not apply to retroactively disqualify any person who previously acquired, and continues to hold, any loans, commitments or participations in respect of the Bridge Facility) and (iii) in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), any of their affiliates (excluding, in the case of clause (ii), bona fide debt fund affiliates predominantly engaged in the business of debt investing) that are either (a) identified in writing by you from time to time, which shall not apply to retroactively disqualify any person who previously acquired, and continues to hold, any loans, commitments or participations in respect of the Bridge Facility or (b) readily identifiable on the basis of such affiliate’s name (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, collectively “Bridge Disqualified Lenders”, and together with the ABL Disqualified Lenders, “Disqualified Lenders”); provided that the Lead Arrangers shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any lender is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to any assignment of loans or commitments under the Facilities to any Disqualified Lender.

Notwithstanding the Lead Arrangers’ right to syndicate the Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto (but subject to Section 2 of this Amended and Restated Commitment Letter and except in the case of assignments between GSLP and Goldman Sachs Bank USA), (i) no Initial Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Facilities on the date of both the consummation of the Acquisition and the date of the initial funding under the Facilities (the date of such consummation and initial funding of the ABL Facility, the “Closing Date”)) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Facilities, including its commitments in respect thereof, until after the initial funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date has occurred, (ii) no assignment or novation by any Initial Lender shall become effective with respect to all or any portion of any Initial Lender’s commitments in respect of the Facilities until the initial funding of the Facilities, (iii) unless you otherwise agree in writing, each Initial Lender shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Facilities, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred and (iv) the Initial Bridge Lenders shall not assign prior to the Closing Date more than 49.9% of their aggregate commitments under the Bridge Facility unless you otherwise agree in writing.

 

Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Facilities constitute a condition to the availability or funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date. The Lead Arrangers may commence syndication efforts promptly after August 21, 2017 and as part of their syndication efforts, it is their intent to have Lenders commit to the Facilities prior to the Closing Date (subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph). Until the earlier of (x) the date upon which a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Amended and Restated Fee Letter) is achieved and (y) the day that is 60 days following the Closing Date (the “Syndication Date”), you agree to assist the Lead Arrangers in seeking to complete a timely syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to us and you. Such assistance shall include, without limitation, (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit from your existing lending and investment banking relationships and the existing lending and investment banking relationships of the Sponsor and, to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) direct contact between senior management, certain relevant non-legal representatives and certain relevant non-legal advisors of you, the SPAC and, subject to your using commercially reasonable efforts with respect thereto, the Sponsor, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand, (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to arrange, to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, such contact between senior management and certain relevant non-legal representatives and certain relevant non-legal advisors of the Company, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand) in all such cases at locations and times mutually agreed upon, (c) your, the SPAC’s and, subject to your using commercially reasonable efforts with respect thereto, the Sponsor’s assistance (including, to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the use of commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist) in the preparation of the Information Materials (as defined below) and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication, (d) using your commercially reasonable efforts to procure, at your expense, prior to the launch of syndication, public ratings (but no specific ratings) for the Notes (the “Debt Ratings”) from each of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), and a public corporate credit rating (but no specific corporate credit rating) and a public corporate family rating (collectively, the “Corporate Ratings” and, together with the Debt Ratings, the “Ratings”) in respect of the Administrative Borrower (as defined below) after giving effect to the Transactions from each of S&P and Moody’s, respectively, (e) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of a reasonable number of meetings to be mutually agreed upon of prospective Lenders at reasonable times and locations to be mutually agreed upon (and your using commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, to cause the officers of the Company to be available for such meetings), (f) at any time prior to the Syndication Date, there being no competing issues, offerings, placements or arrangements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of Holdings, you or any of your or its subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged (other than (x) the Facilities and (y) the Notes or any “demand” securities issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Fee Letter (this clause (y), collectively, the “Takeout Securities”)) without the consent of the Lead Arrangers, if such issuance, offering, placement or arrangement would materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities or the placement of the Notes (it being understood and agreed that your and your subsidiaries’ deferred purchase price obligations, ordinary course working capital facilities and ordinary course capital lease, purchase money and equipment financings will not be deemed to materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities or the placement of the Notes), (g) at any time prior to the Syndication Date, using your commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, to ensure that there are no competing issues, offerings, placements or arrangements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged (other than (x) the Facilities, (y) the Takeout Securities and (z) any Indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries permitted to be incurred, issued or remain outstanding on or prior to the Closing Date under the Acquisition Agreement) without the consent of the Lead Arrangers, if such issuance, offering, placement or arrangement would materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities or the placement of the Notes (it being understood and agreed that the Company and its subsidiaries’ deferred purchase price obligations, ordinary course working capital facilities and ordinary course capital lease, purchase money and equipment financings, in each case, will not be deemed to materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities or the placement of the Notes) and (h) to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, using commercially reasonable efforts to (x) ensure that the ABL Administrative Agent and its designees shall have sufficient access to the Company and its subsidiaries to complete a field examination and equipment appraisal (and the Lead Arrangers hereby acknowledge that (i) the ABL Administrative Agent has received a completed equipment appraisal dated August 10, 2017 that will satisfy the foregoing equipment appraisal provision and (ii) a “carveout” relating solely to the Company and its subsidiaries with the same “as of” date of the most recently delivered field examination delivered pursuant to the terms of the ABL Precedent Documentation will satisfy the foregoing field examination provision) and (y) deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate (as defined in Exhibit B), or if you are unable to prepare and deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate, deliver a certificate evidencing the Modified Borrowing Base (as defined in Exhibit B) and giving effect to the initial borrowing under the ABL Facility on the Closing Date, and which certificate will be in a form as agreed between the Borrowers and the ABL Administrative Agent (and it being understood that failure to deliver such certificate shall result in a Modified Borrowing Base determined by reference to clause (x) of the definition thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amended and Restated Commitment Letter or the Amended and Restated Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (i) your obligations to assist in syndication efforts as provided herein (including the obtaining of the Ratings referenced above and compliance with any of the provisions set forth in clauses (a) through (h) above), (ii) the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Facilities and (iii) the commencement or successful completion of the syndication of the Facilities, in each case, shall not constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date.

The Lead Arrangers, in their capacities as such, will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of any syndication of the Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of institutions acceptable to you (your consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (subject to your consent rights set forth in the second preceding paragraph and excluding Disqualified Lenders), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. To assist the Lead Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you agree to promptly prepare and provide (and to cause the SPAC and, subject to your using commercially reasonable efforts with respect thereto, the Sponsor to provide and to use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, to cause the Company to provide) to the Lead Arrangers all customary information with respect to you, the Borrowers, the Company and your and their respective subsidiaries and the Transactions set forth in clause (c) of the preceding paragraph, the historical financial information required to be provided in accordance with paragraph 9 of Exhibit D hereto and customary financial estimates, forecasts and other projections (such projections, the “Projections”) and such other customary information, as the Lead Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Facilities. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality binding upon, or waive any attorney-client privilege of, you, the Company or your or its respective subsidiaries and affiliates; provided that in the event that you do not provide information in reliance on this sentence, you shall provide notice to the Lead Arrangers that such information is being withheld and you shall use your commercially reasonable efforts to communicate the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable obligation or risk waiver of such privilege; provided further that none of the foregoing shall be construed to limit any of the Borrowers’ representations and warranties or any of the conditions, in any such case, set forth in this Amended and Restated Commitment Letter or the Facilities Documentation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the only financial statements that shall be required to be provided to the Commitment Parties in connection with the syndication of the Facilities shall be those required to be delivered pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 of Exhibit D and the provision of other information contemplated by this paragraph shall not constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date.

 

You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arrangers will make available Information (as defined below), Projections and other offering and marketing materials and presentations, including confidential information memoranda customary for transactions of this type to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (collectively, the “Information Memoranda”) (such Information, Projections, other customary marketing material and the Information Memoranda, collectively, with the Term Sheets, the “Information Materials”) on a confidential basis to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on Intralinks, Debt X, SyndTrak Online or by similar electronic means and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e. Lenders that wish to receive only information that (i) is publicly available or (ii) is not material non-public information (“MNPI”) with respect to Holdings, the SPAC, the Borrowers and your or their respective subsidiaries or your or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws) (collectively, the “Public Sider Information”; and each such Lender, a “Public Sider” and each Lender that is not a Public Sider, a “Private Sider”). In arranging and syndicating the Facilities, each of the Commitment Parties shall be entitled to use and rely upon the information contained in the Information Materials without responsibility for independent verification thereof and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information Materials.

At the reasonable request of the Lead Arrangers, you agree to assist (and to cause the SPAC and, subject to your using commercially reasonable efforts with respect thereto, the Sponsor to assist and to use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent practical and appropriate and in all instances not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, to cause the Company to assist) us in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities that consists exclusively of information that is Public Sider Information with respect to you, the SPAC, the Borrowers and your or their respective subsidiaries or your or their respective securities for the purposes of United States and Canadian federal, state or provincial securities laws to be used by Public Siders. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, customary authorization letters will be included in any Information Materials that authorize the distribution thereof to prospective Lenders, represent that the additional version of the Information Materials includes only Public Sider Information and does not include MNPI (other than Information about the Facilities and the Transactions) and contain a customary “10b-5” representation consistent with the representations set forth in Section 4 hereof but which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not contain any knowledge qualifier or supplementation provisions. The Information Memoranda described above will contain customary language exculpating you, the SPAC, the Sponsor, the Company and your and their respective affiliates and us and our affiliates with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of the contents of the Information Materials or related marketing materials by the recipients thereof (provided that such exculpation of you, the SPAC, the Sponsor, the Company and your and their respective affiliates shall not impact the Commitment Parties’ right to indemnification hereunder). Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Siders as “Public Information”, which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof. By marking Information Materials as “PUBLIC”, you shall be deemed to have authorized the Commitment Parties and the proposed Lenders to treat such Information Materials as not containing any information other than Public Sider Information (it being understood that you shall not be obligated to mark any information as “PUBLIC”). We will not make any Information Materials not marked “PUBLIC” available to Public Siders except as contemplated in the succeeding paragraph.

 

You acknowledge and agree that, subject to the confidentiality and other provisions of this Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, the following documents may be distributed to both Private Siders and Public Siders, unless you advise the Lead Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials contain information that is not Public Sider Information (provided that such materials have been provided to you and your counsel for review within a reasonable period of time prior thereto): (a) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda), (b) term sheets and notification of changes in the Facilities’ terms and conditions, (c) drafts and final versions of the Facilities Documentation and (d) publicly filed financial statements of you, the SPAC, the Company or your or their respective subsidiaries. If you advise us in writing (including by email), within a reasonable period of time prior to dissemination, that any of the foregoing contains information that is not Public Sider Information, then Public Siders will not receive such materials without your consent.

4.Information.

 

You hereby represent and warrant that (with respect to Information and Projections relating to the Company and its subsidiaries and its and their respective businesses, to your knowledge) (a) all written information and written data (such information and data, other than (i) the Projections and (ii) information of a general economic or industry specific nature, the “Information”), that has been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by you or any of your representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished and when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto) and (b) the Projections contained in the Information Memoranda have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by you to be reasonable at the time such Projections are so furnished to the Commitment Parties; it being understood that the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, the Projections are (i) subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material and (ii) not a guarantee of performance. You agree that, if at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect (to your knowledge insofar as it applies to the Information and Projections relating to the Company and its subsidiaries and its and their respective businesses) if the Information and the Projections contained in the Information Memoranda were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will (or, prior to the Closing Date, with respect to the Information and such Projections relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, will use commercially reasonable efforts to) promptly supplement the Information and such Projections such that (with respect to Information and Projections relating to the Company and its subsidiaries and its and their respective businesses, to your knowledge) such representations and warranties are correct in all material respects under those circumstances, it being understood, in each case, that such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representations and warranties. In conducting the transactions hereunder, each of the Commitment Parties will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections contained in the Information Memoranda without responsibility for independent verification thereof. The accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties, whether or not cured, shall not be a condition to the commitments and obligations of the Initial Lenders hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date.

 

5.Fees.

 

As consideration for (i) the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder and (ii) the agreements of the Lead Arrangers and the Initial Lenders to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay (or cause to be paid) the fees set forth in the Term Sheets and in the Amended and Restated Fee Letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith with respect to the Facilities (the “Amended and Restated Fee Letter”), if and to the extent payable. Once paid, such fees shall not be refundable except as otherwise agreed in writing by us and you or set forth herein or therein.

 

6.Conditions.

You agree that the Commitment Parties will act under this Amended and Restated Commitment Letter as independent contractors and that nothing in this Amended and Restated Commitment Letter or the Amended and Restated Fee Letter will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Commitment Parties and you, the Company, your and its respective equity holders or your and their respective affiliates.

In addition, you acknowledge and agree that this Amended and Restated Commitment Letter (a) is not a guarantee with respect to the successful outcome of the Existing ABL Consent and that no assurance can be given that the Existing ABL Consent will be obtained, (b) does not create an obligation on the part of any Existing Lender to consent to the Existing ABL Consent and (c) does not create an obligation on the part of any Commitment Party or Existing Lender to purchase any loans or commitments (or to pay any fees) in respect of the ABL Precedent Documentation in order to obtain the necessary consents required to achieve the effectiveness of the Existing ABL Consent.

Transaction Description

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings set forth in the other Exhibits to the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter to which this Exhibit A is attached (the “Amended and Restated Commitment Letter”) or in the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter. In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit A shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used.

 

Williams Scotsman Holdings Corp., a newly created corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Holdings” or “you”), formed at the direction of Double Eagle Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company to be converted to a Delaware corporation prior to the Closing Date (the “SPAC”), intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all the issued and outstanding equity interests of Williams Scotsman International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), from the equity holders of the Company. Holdings intends to consummate the Acquisition pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of August 21, 2017 (together with all exhibits, annexes, schedules and other disclosure letters thereto, collectively, as modified, amended, supplemented, consented to or waived, the “Acquisition Agreement”) by and among Algeco Scotsman Global S.à r.l., Algeco Scotsman Holdings Kft., the SPAC and Holdings, pursuant to which Holdings will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company for the purchase price specified in the Acquisition Agreement (collectively, the “Acquisition Consideration”).

 

The SPAC was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses (a “Business Combination”), and in connection therewith, the SPAC now seeks to consummate the Acquisition. The SPAC is required, by the terms of its documents of incorporation, after signing the Acquisition Agreement (which constitutes the definitive agreement for the Business Combination) to seek shareholder approval (the “Proxy Process”) of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in the SPAC, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the SPAC’s trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest but less income taxes payable.

 

In connection with the foregoing, it is intended that:

 

a)The SPAC has established Holdings.

 

The SPAC will directly or indirectly make cash equity contributions to Holdings (the foregoing, collectively, the “SPAC Equity Contribution”) in an aggregate amount equal to at least the sum of $250.0 million plus such additional amount such that the aggregate amount of the SPAC Equity Contribution together with the TDR Equity Contribution (as defined below) is at least equal to $680.0 million. The SPAC Equity Contribution and the TDR Equity Contribution are collectively referred to herein as the “Equity Contribution”.

 

TDR Capital LLP and its affiliates and its funds, partnerships or other co-investment vehicles managed, advised or controlled by the foregoing (collectively, the “Sponsor”) and certain other investors arranged by and/or designated by the Sponsor (collectively with the Sponsor, the “Investors”) will directly or indirectly make cash equity contributions to the SPAC, the net proceeds of which will be contributed by the SPAC to Holdings (the foregoing, collectively, the “TDR Equity Contribution”).

 

 A-1 

 

 

b)The Borrowers will obtain the $600.0 million asset based revolving credit facility described in Exhibit B to the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter (the “ABL Facility).

 

c)The Administrative Borrower will (i) issue and sell second-lien senior secured notes (the “Notes”) in a Rule 144A or other private placement yielding $300.0 million in gross cash proceeds and/or (ii) to the extent that less than $300.0 million in Notes are issued on or prior to the Closing Date obtain $300.0 million of senior secured increasing rate loans (the “Bridge Loans”) under a senior secured credit facility described in Exhibit C to the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter (the “Bridge Facility” and, together with the ABL Facility, the “Facilities”) minus the gross cash proceeds from the Notes issued on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

d)The proceeds of the Stock Consideration (as defined in Exhibit D to the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter), the Equity Contribution, the Facilities (and/or the Notes) and cash on hand at the Company and its subsidiaries on the Closing Date will be applied (i) as described above to pay the Acquisition Consideration and (ii) to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions (such fees and expenses, the “Transaction Costs”) (the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, collectively, the “Acquisition Funds”).

 

The transactions described above (including the payment of Transaction Costs) are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions”.

Swingline Facility:  

In connection with the U.S. ABL Facility, the ABL Administrative Agent (or any of its applicable affiliates) (in such capacity, the “U.S. Swingline Lender”) will make available to the U.S. Borrowers a swingline facility (the “U.S. Swingline Facility”) under which the U.S. Borrowers may make short-term borrowings (on same-day notice (in minimum amounts to be mutually agreed upon and integral multiples to be agreed upon)) of up to $50.0 million. In connection with the Canadian ABL Facility, the ABL Administrative Agent (or any of its applicable affiliates) (in such capacity, the “Canadian Swingline Lender” and, together with the U.S. Swingline Lender, collectively the “Swingline Lender”) will make available to the Canadian Borrowers a swingline facility (the “Canadian Swingline Facility” and, together with the U.S. Swingline Facility, collectively the “Swingline Facility”) under which the Canadian Borrowers may make short-term borrowings (on same-day notice (in minimum amounts to be mutually agreed upon and integral multiples to be agreed upon)) of up to $25.0 million. Except for purposes of calculating the commitment fees described in this Exhibit B, any such swingline borrowings will reduce availability under the U.S. ABL Facility or the Canadian ABL Facility, as applicable, on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

 

The Swingline Facility shall be on terms and conditions (including with respect to defaulting lenders) consistent with the ABL Facility Documentation Considerations.

     
Letters of Credit:   $60.0 million of the U.S. ABL Facility will be available to the U.S. Borrowers for the purpose of issuing standby letters of credit and $30.0 million of the Canadian ABL Facility will be available to the Canadian Borrowers for the purpose of issuing standby letters of credit (collectively, “Letters of Credit”).

Each Letter of Credit shall expire not later than the earlier of (a) twelve months after its date of issuance or such longer period of time as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and (b) the fifth business day prior to the final maturity of the ABL Facility; provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for automatic renewal thereof for additional periods of up to twelve months or such longer period of time as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender (which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above, except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender, provided that no ABL Lender shall be required to fund participations in Letters of Credit after the maturity date applicable to its commitments). Each Letter of Credit must comply with the relevant Issuing Lenders’ policies and procedures with respect thereto.

 

 B-3 

 

 

    Letters of Credit shall be issued on terms and conditions (including with respect to defaulting lenders) consistent with the ABL Facility Documentation Considerations.
     
Purpose:   The letters of credit and proceeds of ABL Loans may be used by the Borrowers to pay the Acquisition Funds or for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of Permitted Acquisitions and other permitted investments and permitted dividends and any other use not prohibited by the ABL Facility Documentation.
     
Availability:   ABL Loans (exclusive of Letter of Credit usage) may be made available on the Closing Date (i) to finance the Transactions (including payment of a portion of the Acquisition Consideration and all or portion of the Transaction Costs) and for general corporate purposes, including working capital and/or purchase price adjustments under the Acquisition Agreement, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $210.0 million (exclusive of amounts described in the following clause (ii)) and (ii) to finance any OID or upfront fees (“Closing Date Transaction Draw”). Additionally, Letters of Credit may be issued on the Closing Date in order to backstop or replace letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date under the facilities no longer available to the Borrowers or any of their respective subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (and if the issuer of such letters of credit becomes an ABL Lender under the ABL Facility, such existing letters of credit may be deemed Letters of Credit outstanding under the ABL Facility). Otherwise, ABL Loans will be available at any time prior to the final maturity of the ABL Facility, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed upon. Amounts repaid under the ABL Facility may be reborrowed.
     
Interest Rates:   The interest rates under the ABL Facility will be payable on amounts outstanding thereunder as follows:
     
    U.S. ABL Facility
     
    At the option of the U.S. Borrowers, initially, Adjusted LIBOR plus 2.50% or ABR plus 1.50%, which margins shall be subject to one step-down of 0.25% and one step-up of 0.25% commencing at the completion of the first full fiscal quarter completed after the Closing Date based on average historical Excess Availability with respect to the U.S. ABL Facility during the preceding quarter greater than 66.7% and less than 33.3%, respectively of the Line Cap.
     
    Canadian ABL Facility drawn in U.S. Dollars
     
    At the option of the Canadian Borrowers, initially, Adjusted LIBOR plus 2.50% or Canadian Base Rate plus 1.50%, which margins shall be subject to one step-down of 0.25% and one step-up of 0.25% commencing at the completion of the first full fiscal quarter completed after the Closing Date based on average historical Excess Availability with respect to the Canadian ABL Facility during the preceding quarter greater than 66.7% and less than 33.3%, respectively of the Line Cap.

 

 B-4 

 

 

    Canadian ABL Facility drawn in Canadian Dollars
     
    At the option of the Canadian Borrowers, initially, Canadian BA Rate plus 2.50% or Canadian Prime Rate plus 1.50%, which margins shall be subject to one step-down of 0.25% and one step-up of 0.25% commencing at the completion of the first full fiscal quarter completed after the Closing Date based on average historical Excess Availability with respect to the Canadian ABL Facility during the preceding quarter greater than 66.7% and less than 33.3%, respectively of the Line Cap.
     
    The Borrowers may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months (or, if agreed to by all relevant Lenders, twelve months) for Adjusted LIBOR and Canadian BA Rate borrowings.
     
    Calculation of interest shall be on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, (i) in the case of ABR loans calculated by reference to clause (i) of the definition of ABR and (ii) in the case of all loans denominated in Canadian Dollars).
     
    Interest shall be payable in arrears (a) for loans accruing interest at a rate based on Adjusted LIBOR or the Canadian BA Rate, at the end of each interest period and, for interest periods of greater than 3 months, every three months, and on the applicable maturity date and any date of prepayment and (b) for loans accruing interest based on the ABR, Canadian Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, quarterly in arrears and on the applicable maturity date and any date of prepayment.
     
    There shall be no Adjusted LIBOR, Canadian BA Rate, ABR, Canadian Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate floors for the ABL Facility; provided that in the event any of Adjusted LIBOR, the Canadian BA Rate, ABR, the Canadian Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate is less than zero, such rate will be deemed to be zero.
     
    Adjusted LIBOR, Canadian BA Rate, ABR, Canadian Base Rate and Canadian Prime Rate will be defined in a customary manner consistent with the ABL Facility Documentation Considerations.
     
Letter of Credit Fees:   A per annum fee equal to the spread over Adjusted LIBOR under the U.S. ABL Facility (in the case of Letters of Credit issued under the U.S. ABL Facility), the spread over the Canadian BA Rate (in the case of Letters of Credit issued under the Canadian ABL Facility and denominated in Canadian Dollars) under the Canadian ABL Facility or the spread over Adjusted LIBOR under the Canadian ABL Facility (in the case of Letters of Credit issued under the Canadian ABL Facility and denominated in U.S. Dollars), as applicable, will accrue for the account of the applicable ABL Lenders (other than Defaulting ABL Lenders) on the aggregate face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, payable in arrears at the end of each quarter, upon the termination of the respective Letter of Credit and upon the termination of the relevant ABL Facility, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. Such fees shall be distributed to such ABL Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such ABL Lender’s relevant ABL Commitment. In addition, the relevant Borrowers shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender, for its own account, (a) a fronting fee not to exceed 0.125% per annum of the aggregate face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by it, payable in arrears at the end of each quarter, upon the termination of the respective Letter of Credit and upon the termination of the relevant ABL Facility, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year and (b) customary issuance, processing and administration fees to be agreed.

    The ABL Facility Documentation shall contain “amend and extend” provisions pursuant to which individual Lenders may agree to extend the maturity date of their outstanding ABL Loans (which may include, among other things, an increase in the interest rates and fees (other than undrawn commitment fees) payable with respect to such extended Loans, which such extensions shall not be subject to any “default stopper”, financial tests or “most favored nation pricing provisions”) in respect of the relevant ABL Facility upon the request of the applicable Borrowers and without the consent of any other Lender (it being understood that (i) no existing Lender will have any obligation to commit to any such extension and (ii) each Lender under the class being extended shall have the opportunity to participate in such extension on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender under such class).
     
Borrowing Base:  

The borrowing base (the “U.S. Borrowing Base”) applicable to the U.S. ABL Facility at any time shall equal the sum of:

 

(a) 85% of the net book value of the U.S. Borrowers’ eligible accounts receivable, plus

 

(b) the lesser of (i) 95% of the net book value of the U.S. Borrowers’ eligible rental equipment (which shall include, without limitation, value added products) and (ii) the product of (x) 85% multiplied by (y) the net orderly liquidation value percentage identified in the most recent appraisal ordered by the ABL Administrative Agent multiplied by the net book value of the U.S. Borrowers’ eligible rental equipment, minus

 

 B-6

The borrowing base (the “Canadian Borrowing Base” and, together with the U.S. Borrowing Base, the “Borrowing Base”) applicable to the Canadian ABL Facility at any time shall equal the sum of:

 

(a) 85% of the net book value of the Canadian Borrowers’ eligible accounts receivable, plus

(c) portions of the U.S. Borrowing Base that have been allocated to the Canadian Borrowing Base (provided that, for so long as such allocation is in effect, a corresponding reserve shall be placed on the lesser of the commitments in respect of the U.S. ABL Facility and the amount of the U.S. Borrowing Base, and otherwise the terms of shall allocation shall be consistent with the ABL Facility Documentation Considerations), minus

 

(d) customary reserves (as described below).

 

Eligibility criteria for eligible accounts receivable and eligible rental equipment shall be set forth in the ABL Facility Documentation in a manner consistent with the ABL Facility Documentation Considerations.

 

The Borrowing Base will be computed by the Borrowers monthly and a certificate (the “Borrowing Base Certificate”) presenting the Borrowers’ computation of the Borrowing Base will be delivered to the ABL Administrative Agent promptly, but in no event later than the 25th calendar day following the end of each calendar month; provided, however, that (x) during the continuance of a Specified Default (as defined below) or (y) if Excess Availability (as defined below) under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (i) $50.0 million and (ii) 10% of the lesser of (A) the aggregate commitments at such time and (B) the Borrowing Base (the lesser of (A) and (B), the “Line Cap”) for five consecutive business days, the Borrowers will be required to compute the Borrowing Base and deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate on a weekly basis (no later than the fourth calendar day after the end of each week) until the date on which Excess Availability under the ABL Facility has been at least the greater of (i) $50.0 million and (ii) 10% of the Line Cap for at least 20 consecutive calendar days and no Specified Default is outstanding during such 20 consecutive calendar day period. To the extent the Borrowers deliver a certificate in respect of the Modified Borrowing Base on the Closing Date, all references in this paragraph that refer to the Borrowing Base, prior to delivery of the first Borrowing Base Certificate, shall be deemed to refer to the Modified Borrowing Base.

 

The lesser of (A) the aggregate commitments in respect of the U.S. ABL Facility at any time and (B) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time is referred to herein as the “U.S. Line Cap”.

 

The lesser of (A) the aggregate commitments in respect of the Canadian ABL Facility at any time and (B) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time is referred to herein as the “Canadian Line Cap”.

The ABL Administrative Agent will have the right to establish and modify reserves against the Borrowing Base assets in its Permitted Discretion. For purposes of the foregoing, “Permitted Discretion” means the commercially reasonable credit judgment of the ABL Administrative Agent exercised in good faith in accordance with customary business practices for comparable asset-based lending transactions, as to any factor which the ABL Administrative Agent reasonably determines: (a) will or reasonably could be expected to adversely affect in any material respect the value of any eligible accounts or eligible rental equipment, the enforceability or priority of the ABL Administrative Agent’s Liens thereon or the amount which any secured party would be likely to receive (after giving consideration to delays in payment and costs of enforcement) in the liquidation of such eligible accounts or eligible rental equipment or (b) is evidence that any collateral report or financial information delivered to the ABL Administrative Agent by any person on behalf of a Borrower is incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect; provided that the proposed action to be taken by the ABL Administrative Agent to mitigate the effects described above (including the amount of any reserve) shall bear a reasonable relationship to the effects that form the basis thereunder. In exercising such judgment as it relates to the establishment of reserves or the adjustment or imposition of exclusionary criteria, Permitted Discretion will require that: (a) such establishment, adjustment or imposition shall be based on, among other things: (i) changes after the Closing Date in any material respect in demand for, pricing of, or product mix of rental equipment, or in any concentration of risk with respect to accounts receivable that are first occurring or discovered by the ABL Administrative Agent after the Closing Date or (ii) any other factors arising after the Closing Date that change in any material respect the credit risk of lending to the Borrowers on the security of the eligible accounts or eligible rental equipment, in each case, that are first occurring or discovered by the ABL Administrative Agent after the Closing Date, (b) the contributing factors to the establishment or modification of any reserves shall not duplicate (i) the exclusionary criteria set forth in the definitions of eligible accounts or eligible rental equipment, as applicable (or vice versa) or (ii) any reserves deducted in computing book value and (c) the amount of any such reserve so established shall be a reasonable quantification of the incremental dilution of the Borrowing Base attributable to the relevant contributing factor. Availability reserves will not be established or changed except upon at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Borrower (during which period the ABL Administrative Agent shall be available to discuss any such proposed reserve with the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Borrower may take such actions as may be required to ensure that the event, condition or matter that is the basis of such reserve no longer exists; provided that the Borrowers may not borrow ABL Loans or Swingline Loans or amend or request the issuance of Letters of Credit during such five (5) business day period in excess of the Line Cap (which shall be calculated assuming the effectiveness of such proposed reserve)).

 

Specified Default” shall mean any payment or bankruptcy event of default, any event of default resulting from a material misrepresentation of the Borrowing Base calculation, any event of default resulting from a failure to deliver any required Borrowing Base Certificate, any event of default resulting from breach of the cash management provisions and any event of default arising from failure to comply with the ABL Financial Covenants.

 

 B-8 

 

 

    In the event that a field examination and/or equipment appraisal cannot be completed and delivered prior to the Closing Date, for the period from the Closing Date until the 90th day after the Closing Date (or such earlier date as the Borrowers may elect after delivery of a satisfactory field examination and equipment appraisal or such later date as may be agreed to by the ABL Administrative Agent), (a) the U.S. Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the “U.S. Borrowing Base” (under and as defined in the ABL Precedent Documentation but only with respect to the U.S. Borrowers described above) as set forth on the most recently delivered “Borrowing Base Certificate” (under and as defined in the ABL Precedent Documentation) delivered prior to the Closing Date (the “Modified U.S. Borrowing Base”) and (b) the Canadian Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the “Canadian Borrowing Base” (under and as defined in the ABL Precedent Documentation but only with respect to the Canadian Borrowers described above) as set forth on the most recently delivered “Borrowing Base Certificate” (under and as defined in the ABL Precedent Documentation) delivered prior to the Closing Date (the “Modified Canadian Borrowing Base” and, together with the Modified U.S. Borrowing Base, the “Modified Borrowing Base”). In the event that a field examination and equipment appraisal are not completed and a Borrowing Base Certificate delivered within such 90 day period (or other date to which the ABL Administrative Agent agrees (without any requirement for Lender consent), each of the U.S. Borrowing Base and the Canadian Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be $0 as of the 90th day following the Closing Date.
     
Guarantees:   Subject to the limitations set forth below in this section and subject to the Certain Funds Provisions, (A) (i) all obligations of the U.S. Borrowers under the U.S. ABL Facility and Incremental ABL Facilities (to the extent such Incremental ABL Facilities relate to the U.S. ABL Facility) (“Borrower U.S. ABL Obligations”) and (ii) all obligations of any U.S. Borrower or any U.S. ABL Guarantor (as defined below) under any interest rate protection, currency exchange, commodity hedging or other swap or hedging arrangements (other than any obligation of any U.S. ABL Guarantor to pay or perform under any agreement, contract, or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act (each, a “Swap”), if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the guarantee by such U.S. ABL Guarantor of, or the grant by such U.S. ABL Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation, or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such U.S. ABL Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder (collectively, “U.S. Excluded Swap Obligations”)), and obligations of any U.S. Borrower or any U.S. ABL Guarantor under cash management arrangements, in each case entered into with a Lender, Lead Arranger, the ABL Administrative Agent or any affiliate of a Lender, Lead Arranger or the ABL Administrative Agent (“U.S. Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements” and, together with the Borrower U.S. ABL Obligations, the “U.S. ABL Secured Obligations”) will be unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis (the “U.S. ABL Guarantees”) by Holdings and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned U.S. organized restricted subsidiary (including the U.S. Borrowers) of Holdings (collectively, the “U.S. ABL Guarantors”) and (B) (i) all obligations of the Canadian Borrowers under the Canadian ABL Facility and Incremental ABL Facilities (to the extent such Incremental ABL Facilities relate to the Canadian ABL Facility) (“Borrower Canadian ABL Obligations” and, together with the Borrower U.S. ABL Obligations, the “Borrower ABL Obligations”) and (ii) all obligations of any Canadian Borrower or any Canadian ABL Guarantor (as defined below) under a Swap (other than any such obligation under a Swap if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the guarantee by such Canadian Guarantor of, or the grant by such Canadian Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation, or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Canadian Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder (collectively, “Canadian Excluded Swap Obligations” and, together with U.S. Excluded Swap Obligations, “Excluded Swap Obligations”)), and obligations of any Canadian Borrower or any Canadian Guarantor under cash management arrangements, in each case entered into with a Lender, Lead Arranger, the ABL Administrative Agent or any affiliate of a Lender, Lead Arranger or the ABL Administrative Agent (“Canadian Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements” and, together with “U.S. Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements, “Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements”; and, together with the Borrower Canadian ABL Obligations, the “Canadian ABL Secured Obligations”; and together with the U.S. ABL Secured Obligations, the “ABL Secured Obligations”) will be unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis (the “Canadian ABL Guarantees” and together with the U.S. ABL Guarantees, the “ABL Guarantees”) by Holdings, each U.S. Borrower, each U.S. ABL Guarantor and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned restricted subsidiary of Holdings organized under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof (including the Canadian Borrowers) (collectively, the “Canadian ABL Guarantors”, and together with the U.S. ABL Guarantors, the “ABL Guarantors”); the Borrowers and the ABL Guarantors are herein referred to as the “ABL Loan Parties”); provided that the ABL Guarantors shall not include (a) unrestricted subsidiaries, (b) immaterial subsidiaries (to be defined by reference to individual revenues and assets excluded and the aggregate revenues and assets of the overall restricted group excluded), (c) any subsidiary that is prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation or by any contractual obligation existing on the Closing Date or on the date any such subsidiary is acquired (so long as in respect of any such contractual prohibition such prohibition is not incurred in contemplation of such acquisition), in each case, from guaranteeing the ABL Secured Obligations or which would require governmental (including regulatory) consent, approval, license or authorization to provide a guarantee unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received, or is received after commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same, (d) any subsidiary for which the provision of a Guarantee would result in a material adverse tax or regulatory consequence to the U.S. Borrowers or one of their respective subsidiaries or a material adverse tax or regulatory consequence to the Canadian Borrowers or one of their respective subsidiaries, as applicable (in each case as reasonably determined by the Administrative Borrower in consultation with the ABL Administrative Agent), (e) any direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of a direct or indirect non-U.S. subsidiary of a U.S. Borrower that is a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRS Code”) (any such non-U.S. subsidiary, a “CFC”) (and any direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that has no material assets (directly or through one or more disregarded entities) other than equity of one or more direct or indirect non-U.S. subsidiaries that are CFCs (any such entity, a “FSHCO”), and (f) certain special purpose entities, if any.

 

 B-9 

 

 

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements in circumstances where the Administrative Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent reasonably agree that the cost of providing such a guarantee outweighs the value afforded thereby. The U.S. ABL Guarantors and the guarantors under the Bridge Facility will be the same (collectively, the “U.S. Guarantors”). The ABL Guarantees will rank equal in right of payment with the guarantees of the Bridge Facility.
     
Security:  

Subject to the limitations set forth below in this section, and, on the Closing Date, the Certain Funds Provisions, the ABL Secured Obligations and the ABL Guarantees will be secured by (a) a perfected first priority (subject to permitted liens) pledge of 100% of the equity interests of the Borrowers and of each direct, wholly-owned restricted subsidiary of any Borrower or any ABL Guarantor (which pledge securing U.S. ABL Secured Obligations of the U.S. Borrowers and the U.S. ABL Guarantors, in the case of capital stock of any CFC or FSHCO, shall be limited to 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of such CFC or FSHCO) and (b) perfected first priority security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible personal property and material fee-owned real property above, in the case of material fee-owned real property, an agreed threshold of the Borrowers and the ABL Guarantors (including but not limited to equipment, receivables, inventory, cash, deposit accounts, securities accounts, commodity accounts, general intangibles (including contract rights), investment property, intellectual property, intercompany notes, instruments, chattel paper and documents, letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims and proceeds of the foregoing) (the items described in clauses (a) and (b) above, but excluding “Excluded Assets” (as defined below), collectively, the “Collateral”).

Excluded Assets” shall mean (a) any lease, license, franchise, charter, authorization, contract or agreement to which any ABL Loan Party is a party, and any of its rights or interest thereunder, or any property subject to a purchase money security interest, capital lease obligation or similar arrangement permitted under the ABL Facility Documentation, in each case, if and to the extent that the grant of a security interest therein (i) is prohibited by or would violate any law, rule or regulation applicable to any Loan Party or (ii) is prohibited by or would violate any term, provision or condition of such lease, license, franchise, charter, authorization, contract, agreement or arrangement, or would create a right of termination in favor of any other unaffiliated third-party thereto or otherwise require consent thereunder (provided that there shall be no obligation to obtain such consent), except, in each case, to the extent such prohibition is rendered ineffective under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Personal Property Security Act or other applicable law; provided, however, that the Collateral shall include at such time as the contractual or legal prohibition shall no longer be applicable and to the extent severable, any portion of such lease, license, franchise, charter, authorization, contract, agreement, arrangement or property not subject to the prohibitions specified in clause (i) or (ii) above (in each case, after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, the Personal Property Security Act or other applicable law); provided, further, that the exclusions referred to in this clause (a) shall not include any proceeds of any such lease, license, franchise, charter, authorization, contract, agreement, arrangement or property which are not otherwise Excluded Assets; (b)(i) voting equity interests of a CFC or FSHCO in excess of 65% of the voting stock owned by any ABL Loan Party (but, for the avoidance of doubt, 100% of any non-voting stock will be included in the Collateral); provided that the limitation described in this clause (b)(i) shall only apply with respect to securing U.S. ABL Secured Obligations incurred by the U.S. Borrower or U.S. ABL Guarantors, (ii) equity interests in joint ventures or any non-wholly-owned subsidiaries to the extent not permitted by the terms of such person’s organizational or joint venture documents or to the extent requiring the consent of one or more unaffiliated third parties (provided that there shall be no obligation to obtain such consent), except to the extent such provision is rendered ineffective under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Personal Property Security Act or other applicable law and (iii) equity interests in captive insurance subsidiaries and not-for-profit subsidiaries; (c) any “intent-to-use” application for registration of a trademark filed pursuant to Section 1(b) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1051, prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use” pursuant to Section 1(d) of the Lanham Act, to the extent that, and during the period, if any, in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of any registration that issues from such intent-to-use application under applicable federal law; (d)(i) any leasehold interest (including any ground lease interest) in real property and (ii) any fee interest in owned real property with a fair market value of less than an amount to be agreed (any real property not so excluded being “Material Real Property”); (e) assets, if and to the extent that a security interest in such asset (i) is prohibited by or in violation of any law, rule or regulation applicable to any Loan Party or (ii) requires a consent of any governmental authority that has not been obtained, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such prohibition or consent is rendered ineffective under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Personal Property Security Act or other applicable law; provided, however, that the Collateral shall include (and such security interest shall attach) at such time as the legal prohibition or requirement for consent shall no longer be applicable and to the extent severable, shall attach to any portion of such assets not subject to the prohibitions specified in clause (i) or (ii) above (in each case, after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, the Personal Property Security Act or other applicable law); provided, further, that the exclusions referred to in this clause (e) shall not include any proceeds of any such assets; (f) margin stock; (g) security interests to the extent the same would result in adverse tax or regulatory consequences to the Borrowers or one of their respective restricted subsidiaries as reasonably determined by the Administrative Borrower in consultation with the ABL Administrative Agent; and (h) other exceptions to be agreed.

 

 B-10 

 

 

   

Notwithstanding the foregoing, assets will also be excluded from the Collateral in circumstances where the Administrative Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent reasonably agree that the costs of obtaining, perfecting or maintaining a security interest in such assets outweigh the benefit to the ABL Lenders afforded thereby.

 

In addition, (a) no perfection actions shall be required with respect to (i) letter of credit rights, except to the extent constituting a supporting obligation for other Collateral or as to which perfection is accomplished solely by the filing of a UCC or PPSA financing statement or equivalent (it being understood that no actions shall be required to perfect a security interest in letter of credit rights, other than the filing of a UCC or PPSA financing statement or equivalent), (ii) commercial tort claims of the U.S. Borrowers and the U.S. ABL Guarantors with a value of less than an amount to be agreed and (iii) promissory notes evidencing debt for borrowed money in a principal amount of less than an amount to be agreed, (b) share certificates of immaterial subsidiaries and unrestricted subsidiaries shall not be required to be delivered and (c) no actions in any non-U.S./Canada jurisdiction or required by the laws of any non-U.S./Canada jurisdiction shall be required to be taken to create any security interests in assets located or titled outside of the U.S. or Canada or to perfect or make enforceable any security interests in any such assets (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S./Canada jurisdiction).

 

The Borrowers and the ABL Guarantors shall be required to record the ABL Administrative Agent’s liens on title certificates relating to any rental fleet equipment and containers that are subject to certificate of title laws to the extent required by applicable law for the perfection of such liens.

 

All the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages shall be created on terms consistent with the ABL Facility Documentation Considerations and none of the Collateral shall be subject to other pledges, security interests or mortgages, other than in connection with the Bridge Facility and certain other customary permitted encumbrances and other exceptions and baskets to be set forth in the ABL Facility Documentation, consistent with the ABL Facility Documentation Considerations.

 

With respect to real property, the ABL Administrative Agent or the Administrative Borrower shall give at least 45 days prior written notice to the ABL Lenders prior to the execution and delivery of the mortgage thereon and, prior to the execution and delivery thereof, the ABL Lenders shall have completed all flood insurance due diligence and complied with all applicable law relating to flood insurance.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the requirements of the preceding paragraphs in this “Security” section shall be subject to the Certain Funds Provision.

     
Intercreditor Agreement:   The relative rights and priorities in the Collateral for the secured parties under (a) the ABL Facility and (b) the Bridge Facility will be set forth in a customary intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”).
     
Facility Allocation Mechanism:   The ABL Facility Documentation will contain a facility allocation mechanism between the U.S. ABL Facility and the Canadian ABL Facility in the event of a bankruptcy event of default or an acceleration of the ABL Loans on terms consistent with the ABL Facility Documentation Considerations.
     
Cash Management and Cash Dominion:  

The Borrowers and the ABL Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain account control agreements on their deposit accounts, securities accounts and commodities accounts (but in any event excluding deposit accounts that (i) are used for the sole purpose of making payroll and withholding tax payments related thereto and other employee wage and benefit payments and accrued and unpaid employee compensation (including salaries, wages, benefits and expense reimbursements), (ii) are used solely for paying taxes, including sales taxes, (iii) are used solely as an escrow account or solely as a fiduciary or trust account or (iv) individually or in the aggregate with all other accounts being treated as excluded deposit accounts pursuant to this clause (iv), have a daily balance of less than $1,000,000 (collectively, “Excluded Accounts”)) as soon as possible and in any event within 90 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the ABL Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree). If such arrangements are not obtained within 90 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the ABL Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree), the Borrowers and the ABL Guarantors shall be required to move their bank accounts to the ABL Administrative Agent or another bank that will provide such control agreements.  During a Cash Dominion Period (as defined below), all amounts in controlled accounts will be swept into a collection account (or accounts) maintained with the ABL Administrative Agent and used to repay borrowings under the ABL Facility, subject to customary exceptions, limitations and thresholds to be agreed. 

 

 B-11 

 

 

    Cash Dominion Period” means (a) the period from the date that Excess Availability shall have been less than the greater of (x) 10% of the Line Cap and (y) $50.0 million, for five consecutive business days to the date Excess Availability shall have been at least the greater of (x) 10% of the Line Cap and (y) $50.0 million for twenty consecutive calendar days or (b) upon the occurrence of a Specified Default, the period that such Specified Default shall be continuing.
     
Excess Availability:   Excess Availability” shall mean, at any time, an amount equal to the sum of (I) (a) the lesser of (i) the commitments in respect of the U.S. ABL Facility and (ii) the U.S. Borrowing Base, minus (b) the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all ABL Loans and swingline loans then outstanding under the U.S. ABL Facility, (ii) the maximum aggregate stated amounts of all then-outstanding letters of credit under the U.S. ABL Facility, (iii) all amounts drawn but unreimbursed under letters of credit at such time under the U.S. ABL Facility, and (iv) all other outstanding obligations in respect of letters of credit (other than, if no event of default exists, those constituting charges owed to any Issuing Lender), in each case under the U.S. ABL Facility plus (II) (a) the lesser of (i) the commitments in respect of the Canadian ABL Facility and (ii) the Canadian Borrowing Base, minus (b) the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all ABL Loans and swingline loans then outstanding under the Canadian ABL Facility, (ii) the maximum aggregate stated amounts of all then-outstanding letters of credit under the Canadian ABL Facility, (iii) all amounts drawn but unreimbursed under letters of credit at such time under the Canadian ABL Facility, and (iv) all other outstanding obligations in respect of letters of credit (other than, if no event of default exists, those constituting charges owed to any Issuing Lender), in each case under the Canadian ABL Facility.
     
Mandatory Prepayments:  

If at any time, the aggregate amount of outstanding ABL Loans under the U.S. ABL Facility, unreimbursed letter of credit drawings and undrawn letters of credit under the U.S. ABL Facility exceeds the U.S. Line Cap, then the U.S. Borrowers will within one business day repay outstanding ABL Loans under the U.S. ABL Facility and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, with no reduction of the U.S. ABL Commitments.

 

If at any time, the aggregate amount of outstanding ABL Loans under the Canadian ABL Facility, unreimbursed letter of credit drawings and undrawn letters of credit under the Canadian ABL Facility exceeds the Canadian Line Cap, then the Canadian Borrowers will within one business day repay outstanding ABL Loans under the Canadian ABL Facility and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, with no reduction of the Canadian ABL Commitments. The Canadian ABL Facility will also be subject to mandatory prepayments as a result of currency fluctuations on terms consistent with the ABL Facility Documentation Considerations.

 

 B-12 

 

 

    Following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Period, all cash receipts (with exceptions to be agreed in the ABL Facility Documentation) will be promptly applied by the ABL Administrative Agent in a manner consistent with the ABL Facility Documentation Considerations to repay outstanding ABL Loans and to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit.
     
Voluntary Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments:   Voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the ABL Commitments and voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the ABL Facility will be permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed upon, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders’ redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of Adjusted LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

The availability of the ABL Facility on the Closing Date will be subject solely to (a) the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6 of the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter (subject to the Certain Funds Provisions), (b) delivery of a customary borrowing notice, (c) the accuracy, in all material respects (or, if any such representations or warranties are qualified by materiality, material adverse effect or similar language, the accuracy in all respects), of the Specified Representations and the Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations, (d) availability under the Borrowing Base or the Modified Borrowing Base, as applicable, and (e) the conditions set forth in Exhibit D to the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter.

 

The representations and warranties set forth in the ABL Facility Documentation will be required to be made in connection with the effectiveness of the ABL Facility on the Closing Date, except that the failure of any representation or warranty (other than the Specified Representations and the Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations) to be true and correct in all material respects (or, if any such representations or warranties are qualified by materiality, material adverse effect or similar language, the accuracy in all respects) on the Closing Date will not constitute the failure of a condition precedent to funding under the ABL Facility on the Closing Date.

     
Conditions to Subsequent Borrowings:   After the Closing Date, the making of each extension of credit under the ABL Facility shall be conditioned upon (a) delivery of a customary borrowing/issuance notice, (b) the accuracy of representations and warranties in all material respects (or, if any such representations or warranties are qualified by materiality, material adverse effect or similar language, in all respects), (c) the absence of defaults or events of default at the time of, and after giving effect to the making of, such extension of credit and (d) availability under the applicable Borrowing Base.

ABL Facility Documentation:   The definitive financing documentation for the ABL Facility (the “ABL Facility Documentation”) shall be drafted based on and shall be no less favorable than (except as expressly contemplated herein) the Borrowers’ existing Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement dated as of December 19, 2013 (without giving effect to any amendments thereto after such date) (the “ABL Precedent Documentation”) and shall contain the terms set forth in this Exhibit B and, to the extent any other terms are not expressly set forth in this Exhibit B, will (i) be negotiated in good faith within a reasonable time period to be determined based on the expected Closing Date, (ii) contain only those mandatory prepayments set forth above and representations and warranties, conditions to borrowing, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default set forth below and (iii) contain such other terms as the Borrowers and the Lead Arrangers shall reasonably agree; provided that such ABL Precedent Documentation shall be further modified by the terms set forth herein and shall be subject to (i) materiality qualifications and other exceptions that give effect to and/or permit the Transactions, (ii) baskets, thresholds and exceptions that are to be agreed in light of the Consolidated EBITDA, total assets and leverage level of the Borrowers and their respective subsidiaries (after giving effect to the Transactions), (iii) such other modifications to reflect the operational and strategic requirements of the Borrowers and their respective subsidiaries (after giving effect to the Transactions) in light of their size, total assets, geographic locations, industry (and risks and trends associated therewith), businesses, business practices, operations, financial accounting and the Projections, (iv) modifications to reflect changes in law or accounting standards since the date of the ABL Precedent Documentation, (v) modifications as are reasonably necessary to exclude matters in the ABL Precedent Documentation with respect to credit parties outside the United States or Canada and (vi) modifications to reflect reasonable administrative agency and operational requirements of the ABL Administrative Agent (collectively, the “ABL Facility Documentation Considerations”).
     
Limited Condition Acquisition:   For purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of the ABL Facility Documentation which requires the calculation of a leverage ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined below), (ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, defaults or events of default or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in the ABL Facility Documentation (including baskets measured as a percentage of total assets or Consolidated EBITDA but excluding any basket based on satisfaction of the Payment Conditions), in each case, in connection with an acquisition by one or more of any Borrower or any of their restricted subsidiaries of any assets, business or person permitted to be acquired by the ABL Facility Documentation, in each case whose consummation is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (any such acquisition, a “Limited Condition Acquisition”), at the option of the Administrative Borrower (the Administrative Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent test period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrowers could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such representation, warranty, ratio or basket, such representation, warranty, ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.

 

 B-14 

 

 

    For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrowers have made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations of the target of any Limited Condition Acquisition) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrowers have made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of such ratios or baskets on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and, if with respect to any restricted payment, also on a standalone basis without assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, assets of the target of any Limited Condition Acquisition shall not be included in the Borrowing Base until the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated.

In addition, the ABL Facility Documentation will contain a representation from each ABL Lender that it is not an employee benefit plan under ERISA or an entity that holds plan assets under ERISA. For the avoidance of doubt, the representations and warranties will be required to be made in connection with each extension of credit under the ABL Facility Documentation on and after the Closing Date.

If Excess Availability shall be less than the greater of (x) 10% of the Line Cap and (y) $50.0 million (such amount, the “ABL Covenant Trigger”) and until Excess Availability is greater than or equal to the ABL Covenant Trigger for thirty consecutive calendar days (such period, a “Compliance Period”), the Borrowers shall comply on a quarterly basis with (1) a minimum ratio (the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”) of (x) Consolidated EBITDA minus cash taxes actually paid in such period minus cash capital expenditures (other than to the extent financed with (i) indebtedness (other than the ABL Facility), (ii) proceeds from asset sales, (iii) proceeds from equity issuances or (iv) other proceeds that would not be included in Consolidated EBITDA) actually made or incurred in such period to (y) consolidated interest expense plus scheduled principal amortization of indebtedness for borrowed money (excluding intercompany debt) plus cash dividends (other than those paid to a Loan Party) of at least 1.00:1.00 and (2) a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined above) of 5.50:1.00, in each case on a trailing four quarter basis and tested (i) immediately upon trigger based on the most recently completed fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered (or required to be delivered) and (ii) on the last day of each subsequently completed fiscal quarter of the Borrowers ending during a Compliance Period (the financial test described in this clause (2) is herein referred to as the “Total Net Leverage Ratio Covenant”). The financial tests described in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) are herein referred to as the “ABL Financial Covenants”.

 

For purposes of determining compliance with the ABL Financial Covenants, any cash equity contribution (which shall be common equity or otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to the ABL Administrative Agent) made to Holdings (which amount shall be contributed in cash as common equity to the Administrative Borrower) within 15 business days following the ABL Covenant Trigger will, at the request of the Administrative Borrower, be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with such ABL Financial Covenants at the end of such fiscal quarter and applicable subsequent periods which include such fiscal quarter (any such equity contribution so included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); subject solely to the following conditions: (a) there shall be no more than two quarters in each four consecutive fiscal quarter period in respect of which a Specified Equity Contribution is made, (b) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no more than the amount expected to be required to cause the Borrowers to be in pro forma compliance with the ABL Financial Covenants specified above, (c) no more than five Specified Equity Contributions shall be made during the term of the ABL Facility, (d) all Specified Equity Contributions shall be disregarded for all purposes under the ABL Facility Documentation other than for purposes of determining compliance with the ABL Financial Covenants, (e) all Specified Equity Contributions shall be used promptly after receipt thereof to prepay ABL Loans and (f) there shall be no pro forma or other reduction in indebtedness with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution for determining compliance with the ABL Financial Covenants; provided that such Specified Equity Contribution shall reduce debt in future periods (but not the fiscal quarter in respect of which it is made) to the extent used to prepay indebtedness. The ABL Facility Documentation will contain a customary standstill provision with respect to the declaration of an event of default and/or exercise of remedies during the period in which a Specified Equity Contribution could be made but the Borrowers shall not be permitted to borrow or amend or request the issuance of Letters of Credit during such period.

 

 B-21 

 

 

Unrestricted Subsidiaries:   The ABL Facility Documentation will contain provisions pursuant to which, subject to limitations on loans, advances, guarantees of obligations of and other investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, the Borrowers will be permitted to designate any existing or subsequently acquired or organized subsidiary (other than a Borrower) as an “unrestricted subsidiary” and subsequently re-designate any such unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary (provided that any such re-designated restricted subsidiary may not be designated as an unrestricted subsidiary thereafter) subject solely to the following terms and conditions: (a) the fair market value of such subsidiary at the time it is designated as an “unrestricted subsidiary” (plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any debt owed by such subsidiary to any Loan Party or other restricted subsidiary) shall be treated as an investment by the Borrowers at such time, (b) pro forma compliance with the Payment Conditions, (c) no default or event of default has occurred or is continuing or would exist after giving effect thereto and (d) such subsidiary is also designated as an unrestricted subsidiary under the Bridge Facility and/or the Notes and any other indebtedness in excess of a threshold amount to be agreed that has an “unrestricted subsidiary” construct. Unrestricted subsidiaries will not be subject to the representation and warranties, affirmative or negative covenant or event of default provisions of the ABL Facility Documentation and the results of operations and indebtedness of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of determining Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated EBITDA or compliance with the covenants contained in the ABL Facility Documentation.

Additional Agents:   The Borrower may designate additional financial institutions to act as syndication agent, documentation agent or co-documentation agent.
     
Senior Secured Bridge Loans:   The Bridge Lenders will make senior secured increasing rate loans (the “Bridge Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million minus the amount of gross proceeds from Notes on the Closing Date or any “demand” securities issued in lieu thereof pursuant to the Amended and Restated Fee Letter.
     
Availability:   The Bridge Lenders will make the Bridge Loans on the Closing Date simultaneously with the consummation of the Acquisition. Amounts borrowed under the Bridge Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
     
Uses of Proceeds:   The proceeds of the Bridge Loans will be used by the Borrower on the Closing Date, together with the proceeds of borrowings under the ABL Facility, the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, the proceeds from the Equity Contribution and cash on hand at the Borrower, to provide Acquisition Funds.
     
Ranking:   The Bridge Loans will rank equal in right of payment with the ABL Facility and other senior indebtedness of the Borrower.
     
Guarantees:   All obligations of the Borrower under the Bridge Facility (the “Bridge Secured Obligations”) will be jointly and severally guaranteed by each ABL Guarantor (as defined in Exhibit B to the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter) that is organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (the “Bridge Guarantors” and together with the U.S. ABL Guarantors, the “Guarantors”), on a senior secured basis (such guarantees, the “Bridge Guarantees”).

The date on which Bridge Loans are converted into Extended Term Loans is referred to as the “Conversion Date”. On any day following the Conversion Date, at the option of the applicable Bridge Lender, the Extended Term Loans may be exchanged in whole or in part for senior secured exchange notes (the “Exchange Notes”) having an equal principal amount and having the terms set forth in Annex II hereto; provided that (i) no Exchange Notes shall be issued until the Borrower shall have received requests to issue at least $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes and (ii) no subsequent Exchange Notes shall be issued until the Borrower shall have received additional requests to issue at least $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of additional Exchange Notes or if less, the remaining amount of Extended Term Loans.

Interest Rates:  

Interest on the Bridge Loans for the first three-month period commencing on the Closing Date shall be payable at LIBOR (as defined below) for U.S. dollars (for interest periods of one, two, three or six months, as selected by the Borrower) plus 6.50% (the “Initial Margin”) and commencing at the end of such initial three-month period, subject to the Total Cap (as defined in the Amended and Restated Fee Letter) and at the end of each three-month period occurring thereafter, interest shall increase by an additional 50 basis points for so long as the Bridge Loans are outstanding (except on the Conversion Date) (the Initial Margin, together with each 50 basis point step-up, the “Applicable Margin”).

Interest Payments:   Interest on the Bridge Loans will be payable in arrears at the end of each interest period and, for interest periods of greater than 3 months, every three months, and on the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date. Calculation of interest shall be on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days.
     
Default Rate:   During the continuance of any event of default under the Bridge Documentation, overdue principal, interest, fees and other amounts shall bear interest at the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum.
     
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall any cap or limit on the yield or interest rate payable with respect to the Bridge Loans, Extended Term Loans or Exchange Notes affect the payment of any default rate of interest in respect of any Bridge Loan, Extended Term Loans or Exchange Notes.
     
Mandatory Prepayment:   The Borrower will be required to prepay the Bridge Loans on a pro rata basis at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof with (i) the net cash proceeds from the issuance of the Notes; provided that in the event any Bridge Lender or affiliate of a Bridge Lender purchases debt securities from the Borrower pursuant to a permitted securities demand under the Amended and Restated Fee Letter at an issue price above the price at which such Bridge Lender or affiliate has reasonably determined such debt securities can be resold by such Bridge Lender or affiliate to a bona fide third party at the time of such purchase (and notifies the Borrower thereof), the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower in respect of such debt securities may, at the option of such Bridge Lender or affiliate, be applied first to prepay the Initial Bridge Loans of such Bridge Lender or affiliate (provided that if there is more than one such Bridge Lender or affiliate then such net cash proceeds will be applied pro rata to prepay the Initial Bridge Loans of all such Bridge Lenders or affiliates in proportion to such Bridge Lenders’ or affiliates’ principal amount of debt securities purchased from the Borrower) prior to being applied to prepay the Initial Bridge Loans held by other Bridge Lenders; (ii) the net cash proceeds from the issuance of any Refinancing Debt (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Bridge/Bond Documentation Principles) by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries and other indebtedness, including, for the avoidance of doubt, issuances of debt, equity and/or equity-linked securities (other than Permitted Debt (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Bridge/Bond Documentation Principles)) and (iii) the net cash proceeds from any non-ordinary course asset sales by, or condemnation proceeds of, in each case, the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries in excess of amounts either reinvested or required to be paid to the lenders under the ABL Facility or the holder of certain other indebtedness, in the case of any such prepayments pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above with exceptions and baskets consistent with the Bridge/Bond Documentation Principles. The Borrower will also be required to offer to prepay the Bridge Loans following the occurrence of a change of control (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Bridge/Bond Documentation Principles) at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, subject to the Bridge/Bond Documentation Principles. These mandatory prepayment provisions will not apply to the Extended Term Loans.

 

 C-3 

 

 

Optional Prepayment:   The Bridge Loans may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest upon not less than three days’ prior written notice, at the option of the Borrower at any time.

The notice delivered by the Borrowers will be effective to start the Notes Marketing Period as of the date of delivery of such notice (or such later date specified in such notice), unless on or prior to the second business day following delivery of the Borrowers’ notice, the Lead Arrangers deliver written notice to the Borrowers stating that they do not believe the Borrowers have delivered the Notes Required Information and specifying in reasonable detail the Notes Required Information that has not been received (provided that delivery of such written notice from the Lead Arrangers to the Borrowers will not prejudice the Borrowers’ right to assert that the Notes Required Information has, in fact, been delivered).

 

11.All fees required to be paid on the Closing Date pursuant to the Amended and Restated Fee Letter in connection with the Facilities and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses required to be paid on the Closing Date pursuant to the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, to the extent invoiced at least two business days prior to the Closing Date (except as otherwise agreed to by the Borrowers), shall, substantially concurrently with the initial borrowing under the Facilities, have been paid (which amounts may, at your option, be offset against the proceeds of the Facilities).

If the Borrowers reasonably believe that they have delivered the ABL Required Information, the Borrowers may deliver to the Lead Arrangers a written notice to that effect (stating when the Borrowers reasonably believe they completed such delivery). The notice delivered by the Borrowers will be effective to start the ABL Marketing Period as of the date of delivery of such notice (or such later date specified in such notice), unless on or prior to the second business day following delivery of the Borrowers’ notice, the Lead Arrangers deliver written notice to the Borrowers stating that they do not believe the Borrowers have delivered the ABL Required Information and specifying in reasonable detail the ABL Required Information that has not been received (provided that delivery of such written notice from the Lead Arrangers to the Borrowers will not prejudice the Borrowers’ right to assert that the ABL Required Information has, in fact, been delivered).

 

13.The Borrowers shall have obtained written consents (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers) (the “Existing ABL Consent”) to the Transactions from the requisite lenders under the ABL Precedent Documentation.

Form of Solvency Certificate

 

Date: _____

 

Reference is made to Credit Agreement, dated as of [●] (the “Credit Agreement”), among [●] (the “Borrowers”), the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), and [●], as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

Solely in my capacity as a financial executive officer of the Administrative Borrower and not individually (and without personal liability), I hereby certify, that as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions:

 

1.The sum of the liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, does not exceed the present fair saleable value of the present assets of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.

 

2.The fair value of the property of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.

 

3.The capital of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not unreasonably small in relation to their business as contemplated on the date hereof.
