Article IV

LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

 

SECTION 4.1 Increased Costs, Etc. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender for any increase in the cost to such Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender in respect of, such Lender’s Commitment and the making, continuation or maintaining of the Loans hereunder that may arise in connection with any Change in Law, except for such changes with respect to increased capital costs and Taxes which are governed by Section 4.2 and Section 4.3, respectively and except for any changes with respect to Taxes described in (i) through (vi) of the definition of Non-Excluded Taxes. Each Lender shall notify the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrower directly to such Lender within five days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

SECTION 4.2 Increased Capital Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling any Lender, and such Lender determines (in good faith but in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of the Commitment or the Loans made by it hereunder is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then upon notice from time to time by such Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall within five days following receipt of such notice pay directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of any Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, a Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.2 for any such compensation suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such claim for compensation is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

 

SECTION 4.3 Taxes. The Borrower covenants and agrees as follows with respect to Taxes.

 

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower under each Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Non-Excluded Taxes. In the event that any Taxes are imposed and required to be deducted or withheld from any payment required to be made by Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries to or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document, then:

 

(i) the amount of such payment shall be increased as may be necessary so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Non-Excluded Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount provided for in such Loan Document; and

 

(ii) the Borrower shall withhold the full amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes from such payment (as increased pursuant to clause (a)(i) and shall pay such amount to the Governmental Authority imposing such Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

 

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes imposed to the relevant Governmental Authority imposing such Other Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

 

(c) As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, and in any event within 45 days of any such payment being due, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent a copy of an official receipt (or a certified copy thereof) evidencing the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes.

 

(d) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes levied, imposed or assessed on (and whether or not paid directly by) the Administrative Agent and each Lender whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Promptly upon having knowledge that any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes have been levied, imposed or assessed, and promptly upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes directly to the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to provide any such notice to the Borrower). In addition, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for any incremental Non-Excluded Taxes that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any such Lender as a result of any failure of the Borrower to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or to deliver to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to clause (c), documentation evidencing the payment of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes. With respect to indemnification for Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes actually paid by the Lender or the indemnification provided in the immediately preceding sentence, such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent or any Lender makes written demand therefor. The Borrower acknowledges that any payment made to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Governmental Authority in respect of the indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided in this clause shall constitute a payment in respect of which the provisions of clause (a) and this clause shall apply.

 

 

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section (A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) any Lender that is a U.S. Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

 

(B) any Lender this is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(1) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(3) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the Existing Credit Agreement to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

 

(4) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G to the Existing Credit Agreement or Exhibit H to the Existing Credit Agreement, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I to the Existing Credit Agreement on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

(C) any Lender this is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

 

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

 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

 

SECTION 4.4 Payments, Computations; Proceeds of Collateral, Etc. The parties hereto agree as follows:

 

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date due in same day or immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment. Funds received after 1:00 p.m. on any day shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days. Payments due on other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.

 

(b) All amounts received as a result of the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents (including from the proceeds of collateral securing the Obligations) or under applicable law shall be applied upon receipt to the Obligations as follows: (i) first, to the payment in full in cash of all interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, whether or not permitted as a claim under such law) and fees owing under the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash, (ii) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (b)(i), to the payment of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, (iii) third, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii), to the payment of all other Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (iv) fourth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii), and following the Termination Date, to the Borrower or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

 

SECTION 4.5 Setoff. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, as applicable.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may act as the “Collateral Agent”, “Security Agent”, “Documentation Agent” or in any similar capacity as the Lenders may determine to be necessary to protect the Lenders’ interests under or pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise.

 

(c) Solely with respect to actions or omissions of the Administrative Agent acting in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) and holds harmless the Administrative Agent from and against any and all obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent under or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Person (including attorneys’ fees), except for any such obligation, losses, damages, claims or expenses resulting from the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(d) Solely with respect to actions or omissions of the Administrative Agent acting in its capacity as the Administrative Agent and solely to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to clause (b) above, each Lender (acting in its respective capacity as a Lender) hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) and holds harmless the Administrative Agent, pro rata according to such Lender’s Proportionate Share, from and against any and all obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent under or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Person (including attorneys’ fees).

If any indemnity in favor of the Administrative shall be or become, in the Administrative Agent’s determination, inadequate, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

 

 

SECTION 10.1.2 Funding, Etc. In no event shall the Administrative Agent (acting in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) be liable or responsible for funding or advancing any obligation of any Lender or other Person owed or payable under or in connection with this Agreement, including in respect of any claims, damages, reimbursements, indemnities or otherwise.

SECTION 10.1.4 Successor. The Administrative Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Borrower and all the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent at any time shall resign, the Lenders may appoint another Lender as a successor Administrative Agent which shall thereupon become the Administrative Agent hereunder, provided that, so long as no Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower’s consent to such successor shall be required (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which may be one of the Lenders (if such Lender consents to such appointment) or a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000; provided that, if, such retiring Administrative Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution which is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor as provided for above.

After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

 

 

SECTION 10.1.5 Loans, Etc. by ROS. ROS shall have the same rights and powers with respect to the Loans and other Obligations owing to it under or pursuant to the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise all its rights and powers in respect thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent. ROS and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Holdings or any other Person (whether or not an Affiliate of Holdings or any other Person party hereto or to any other Loan Document) as if ROS was not the Administrative Agent hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, no Person acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have any fiduciary duty of any sort to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or to any other Person, merely as a result of its actions or involvement as the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, for itself and each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent possible any claim (and any right to assert any claim) against the Administrative Agent (or Person acting as the Administrative Agent) or any of its Affiliates asserting that such acts or involvement of the Administrative Agent (or Person acting as the Administrative Agent) breaches any fiduciary or other duty or obligation owed to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or asserting that any such acts or involvement constitutes a conflict of interest by such Administrative Agent (or Person acting as the Administrative Agent) or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 11.1) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Lenders; provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of all the Lenders.

 

SECTION 10.2 Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender or otherwise, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in connection with any Loan Document (but subject to the terms of such Loan Document), including any Security Agreement or the security interests created and the collateral pledged thereunder, including without limitation:
