Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have advised Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (together with its affiliates, “MSSF, “we” or “us”) that you intend to acquire (the “Acquisition”), directly and through one or more newly formed entities, from Motorola Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), the Seller’s enterprise mobility business (the “Acquired Business”), and to consummate the other Transactions (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning assigned to such term in the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Senior Facilities Term Sheet”) or in the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Bridge Facility Term Sheet” and, together with the Senior Facilities Term Sheet, the “Term Sheets”)).

You have further advised us that, in connection therewith, (a) the Borrower will obtain the senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Facilities”) described in the Senior Facilities Term Sheet, in an aggregate principal amount of $2,250,000,000, and (b) the Borrower will (i) seek to issue $1,250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) in a Rule 144A or other private placement, minus the amount of up to $400,000,000 of net proceeds (the “Preferred Stock Proceeds”) received by Borrower from the issuance of mandatory convertible preferred stock prior to the Closing Date on terms reasonably acceptable to MSSF (the “Preferred Stock”), and (ii) to the extent the Borrower is unable to issue the Notes on or prior to the Closing Date or in the full amount of Notes referred to above, borrow up to $1,250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount (or such lesser amount by which the sum of (A) the amount of Notes referred to above and (B) the amount of Preferred Stock Proceeds is less than such amount) of senior unsecured loans under the senior unsecured credit facility (the “Bridge Facility”) described in the Bridge Facility Term Sheet. The Senior Facilities and the Bridge Facility are collectively referred to herein as the “Facilities”.

 

1. Commitments.

In connection with the foregoing, MSSF is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide the entire principal amount of the Facilities, upon the express terms of this commitment letter (including the Term Sheets and other attachments hereto, this “Commitment Letter”) and subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions expressly set forth in the section below entitled “Conditions”.

Commitment Letter


2. Titles and Roles.

You hereby appoint (a) MSSF to act, and MSSF hereby agrees to act, as a bookrunner and a lead arranger for the Facilities, and (b) MSSF to act, and MSSF hereby agrees to act, as sole administrative agent for the Senior Facilities1 and sole collateral agent for the Senior Facilities, in each case upon the terms expressly set forth in this Commitment Letter and in the Term Sheets and subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions expressly set forth in the section below entitled “Conditions”. MSSF, in such capacities, will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in such roles. You agree that MSSF will have “left” placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Facilities2. You further agree that no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Facilities unless you and we shall so agree.

You may, on or prior to the date that is 10 business days after the date of this Commitment Letter, appoint up to seven additional agents, co-agents, lead arrangers, bookrunners, managers or arrangers (provided that no more than one such person may be appointed as a joint lead arranger and/or joint bookrunner) (any such agent, co-agent, lead arranger, bookrunner, manager or arranger, in each case together with any of its affiliates performing any such role or undertaking a commitment with respect to the Facilities, an “Additional Committing Lender”, and any such joint lead arrangers, together with MSSF, the “Lead Arrangers”) or confer other titles in respect of any Facility in a manner and with economics determined by you in consultation with the Lead Arrangers (it being understood that, to the extent you appoint Additional Committing Lenders or confer other titles in respect of any Facility, (x) each such Additional Committing Lender will assume a portion of the commitments of each Facility that is no less than pro rata to the percentage of economics allocated to such Additional Committing Lender (and MSSF’s commitments with respect to such portion will be reduced ratably) and (y) the economics allocated to any other Additional Committed Lenders and MSSF in respect of the relevant Facilities will be reduced ratably by the amount of the economics allocated to such appointed entities upon the execution by such financial institution of customary joinder documentation); provided that (i) fees will be allocated to each such appointed entity on a pro rata basis in respect of the commitments it is assuming or on such other basis as you and the Lead Arrangers may agree and (ii) in no event shall (A) any Additional Committing Lender receive economics with respect to any Facility greater than that received by MSSF, or (B) MSSF be entitled to less than 50% of the economics of any of the Facilities.

We intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter, and you agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Lead Arrangers in completing a syndication reasonably satisfactory to you and the Lead Arrangers until the date that is the earlier of (a) the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date and (b) the date on which a “Successful Syndication” (as defined in the Fee Letter) is achieved (the “Syndication Date”). Such assistance shall include (i) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit from your and the Borrower’s existing lending and investment banking relationships and, to the extent reasonable and appropriate, the existing lending and investment banking relationships of the Acquired Business, (ii) cause direct contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of you and the Borrower (and, to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement, your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause direct contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of the Acquired Business) and the proposed Lenders at mutually agreed upon times, (iii) assist (and, to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business to assist) in the preparation of a customary Confidential Information Memorandum for each of the Facilities and other customary and reasonably available marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication (the “Information Materials”), (iv) provide or cause to be provided a detailed business plan or projections of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (including the Acquired Business) for the years 2014 through 2020 and for the eight quarters beginning with the second quarter of the Borrower’s fiscal year 2014, in each case in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers (the “Projections”) in connection with the syndication of the Facilities, (v) prior to the launch of the syndication, your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a public corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (“S&P”) and a public corporate family rating from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Moody’s, and (vi) host, with the Lead Arrangers, not more than two meetings of prospective Lenders at times and locations to be mutually agreed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, neither the compliance with any of the provisions of this Commitment Letter (other than Exhibit C attached hereto) nor the commencement or completion of the syndication of the Facilities nor the obtaining of the ratings referenced above, shall constitute a condition precedent to the commitments hereunder or to the funding of the applicable Facility on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any attorney-client privilege, law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality binding on you, the Acquired Business or your or its respective affiliates and the only financial statements that shall be required to be provided to the Lead Arrangers in connection with the syndication of the Facility shall be those required to be delivered pursuant to clauses (3) and (4) of Exhibit C hereto.

You agree, at the request of the Lead Arrangers, to assist in the preparation of a version of the Confidential Information Memorandum to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities, consisting exclusively of information and documentation that is either (a) publicly available (or customarily contained in any offering memorandum for the Notes) or (b) not material with respect to the Borrower and its subsidiaries or the Acquired Business or any of your or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws assuming such laws are applicable to you, the Acquired Business or your or its respective subsidiaries (all such Information Materials being “Public Lender Information”). Any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as “Private Lender Information”. Before distribution of the Confidential Information Memorandum, you agree to execute and deliver to the Lead Arrangers (i) a customary authorization letter in which you authorize distribution of the Confidential Information Memorandum to Lenders’ employees willing to receive Private Lender Information and (ii) a separate letter in which you authorize distribution of Information Materials containing solely Public Lender Information and represent that such Information Materials do not contain any Private Lender Information, which letter shall, in the case of this clause (ii), include a customary “10b-5” representation (subject, in the case of Information Materials pertaining to the Acquired Business, to the actual knowledge of an executive officer or other officer, in each case, involved in the Transactions). You further agree that each document to be disseminated by the Lead Arrangers to any Lender in connection with the Facilities will, at the request of the Lead Arrangers, be identified by you as either (A) containing Private Lender Information or (B) containing solely Public Lender Information; provided that in the absence of any such identification or in the absence of express identification of Information Materials as “PUBLIC”, all Information Materials shall be deemed to contain Private Lender Information. You acknowledge that the following documents contain solely Public Lender Information (unless you notify us prior to their intended distribution that any such document contains Private Lender Information): (1) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Facilities (excluding, if applicable, any specifically identified confidential schedules thereto); (2) 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); and (3) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities. If you advise us in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions (after you have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents) that any of the foregoing items should be distributed only to private Lenders, then the Lead Arrangers will not distribute such materials to public Lenders without your consent.

The Lead Arrangers will manage all aspects of the syndication in consultation with you, including decisions as to the selection of institutions (subject to your consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and excluding Disqualified Institutions) to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders, any naming rights and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders (subject to your right to allocate commitments and consent rights, as described above).

 

4. Information.

You hereby represent and warrant that (a) (to the actual knowledge of an executive officer or other officer, in each case, involved in the Transactions insofar as it applies to information concerning the Acquired Business, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses) all written information concerning you, the Borrower, the Acquired Business and your and their respective subsidiaries and businesses (other than the Projections, estimates, budgets, other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or industry nature) that has been or will be made available by you or on your behalf to any Lead Arranger in connection with the Transactions (the “Information”), taken as a whole (and, in the case of information related to the Acquired Business and its subsidiaries and their respective businesses, to the actual knowledge of an executive officer or other officer, in each case, involved in the Transactions) is or will be, when furnished and taken as a whole, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished and 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 Confidential Information Memorandum will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time of delivery thereof based on information provided by the Acquired Business or its representatives; it being recognized by the Lead Arrangers that such Projections (i) are 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 from the projected results and such differences may be material) and (ii) are not a guarantee of performance. You agree that if at any time prior to the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the completion of a Successful Syndication, you have become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect (to the actual knowledge of an executive officer or other officer, in each case, involved in the Transactions insofar as it applies to information concerning the Acquired Business, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses), if the Information and Projections were being furnished at such time, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will (and will use your commercially reasonable efforts with respect to Information and Projections concerning the Acquired Business, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses) promptly supplement the Information and the Projections such that such representations will be correct in all material respects (to the actual knowledge of an executive officer or other officer, in each case, involved in the Transactions insofar as it applies to information concerning the Acquired Business, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses) under those circumstances. In arranging and syndicating the Facilities, we will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.

have resulted primarily from the (A) willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of its Related Indemnified Persons, (B) any material breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Person or any of its affiliates or related parties under this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets or the Fee Letter or (C) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by you or any of your subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding against the relevant Indemnified Person in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an agent, arranger or similar role under any of the Facilities.

for permitted acquisitions, other investments and capital expenditures (including any of the foregoing for which a binding agreement (or binding commitment) then exists), for certain restricted payments, capitalized intellectual property development, for retention, recruiting, relocation, severance, signing bonuses and expenses, tax distributions, prepayments of certain other indebtedness, and to include a dollar-for-dollar credit for (x) voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan Facility, any Incremental Term Loan Facility and any Refinancing Facility that is pari passu with the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility and Incremental Revolving Facility (to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the relevant commitment) and (y) to repay borrowings of Revolving Loans made on the Closing Date;

 

  (b) 100% of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries (including casualty insurance and condemnation proceeds), in excess of an amount to be mutually agreed and only in respect of amounts in excess thereof) and subject to exceptions to be mutually agreed upon and a 100% reinvestment right if reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) within 12 months of such sale or disposition (or 18 months in the event a binding letter of intent is entered into within such 12-month period); and

 

  (c) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances, offerings or placements of debt obligations of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (other than indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Senior Facilities (excluding Refinancing Facilities and Refinancing Notes), which for the avoidance of doubt, includes the refinancing of the Bridge Facility with Notes and the Incremental Facilities).

 

 

Mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied to scheduled installments thereof (pro rata to outstanding Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans (unless otherwise agreed)) in direct order of maturity (without premium or penalty); provided, that the Senior Facilities Documentation shall provide that in the case of mandatory prepayments in respect of any asset sale of Collateral or loss event, a ratable portion of the net proceeds thereof may be applied to prepay or offer to purchase any first lien secured notes that are Refinancing Notes or Incremental Notes or

 

Senior Facilities Term Sheet

 

A-15


 

permitted ratio debt if required under the terms of the applicable first lien secured notes documents. After repayment of the Term Facility, mandatory prepayments may be allocated to the Bridge Facility to the extent required by the terms therein.

 

  Lenders may elect not to accept any mandatory prepayment (other than with respect to Refinancing Notes and Refinancing Facilities) (each, a “Declining Lender”). Any prepayment amount declined by a Declining Lender may be retained by the Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”).

 

  All prepayments referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above are subject to there being no adverse tax consequences (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment whereby doing so the Borrower and its subsidiaries or any of their affiliates would incur a tax liability, including a tax dividend, deemed dividend pursuant to Section 956 of the Internal Revenue Code or a withholding tax) and to permissibility under (i) local law (e.g., financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant subsidiaries) and (ii) material constituent document restrictions (including as a result of minority ownership) and other material agreements, with Excess Cash Flow being allocated among subsidiaries in various jurisdictions in a manner to be mutually agreed in the Senior Facilities Documentation (for the avoidance of doubt excluding any reduction from interest and payments in respect of the Senior Facilities, Bridge Facility or Notes in respect of the foreign subsidiaries’ Excess Cash Flow); provided, that the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries shall be entitled to reduce Excess Cash Flow pursuant to this sentence by the foreign subsidiaries’ portion of Excess Cash Flow in any fiscal year. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a default or an event of default, and such amounts shall be available for working capital purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries as long as not required to be prepaid in accordance with the following provisions.

 

Voluntary Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments:

Voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Senior Facilities and prepayments of borrowings thereunder will be permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prepayments (or amendments) of the initial Term Loans prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date in connection with a Repricing Transaction (as defined below) shall be accompanied by a premium equal to 1.00% of the amount of the initial Term Loans so prepaid (or amended); provided, that such premium shall not apply if such refinancing or amendment is in connection with a transformative acquisition.

 

  As used herein “Repricing Transaction” means any (a) voluntary prepayment of the initial Term Loans using proceeds of a substantially concurrent incurrence of secured term loans the primary purpose of which is to reduce the interest rate margins thereon (calculated in a manner consistent with the MFN Adjustment) applicable to the initial Term Loans (and such interest rate margin is reduced) or (b) mandatory prepayment (including any mandatory assignment in connection therewith) with the proceeds of indebtedness which results in a lower interest rate margin (calculated in a manner consistent with the MFN Adjustment) (or downward repricing amendments of the initial Term Loans).

It being understood that (i) additional extensions of credit permitted under the Senior Facilities Documentation shall not require the consent of all Lenders but instead shall only require the consent of each Lender extending such credit and (ii) any applicable intercreditor agreement may be amended solely with the consent of the Agents to give effect thereto or to carry out the purposes thereof.

 

  The Senior Facilities Documentation shall contain provisions permitting the Borrower to replace or terminate the commitments of (x)(i) an insolvent Lender or (ii) a Lender failing to fund its commitments (each a “Defaulting Lender”), (y) non-consenting Lenders under the Senior Facilities in connection with amendments and waivers requiring the consent of all Lenders under the Senior Facilities or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, so long as Lenders under the Senior Facilities holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the loans and commitments under the Senior Facilities shall have consented thereto and (z) a Lender seeking indemnity for increased costs or grossed-up tax payments.

 

  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Senior Facilities shall provide that the Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of:

 

  (a)  

any Loans under the Term Facility be amended or converted to extend the scheduled maturity date of and to provide for different interest rate and fees and voluntary prepayments for the Lender(s) providing such Loans (any such Loans under the Term Facility which have been so amended or converted, “Extended Senior Term Loans”), and upon such request of the Borrower, any individual Lender under the Term Facility shall have the right to agree to extend the scheduled maturity date of its outstanding Term Loans and to provide for different interest rate and fees and voluntary prepayments for such Extended Senior Term Loans without the consent of any other Lender under the Term Facility or Required Lenders; provided that all such requests shall be made pro rata to all Lenders under the Term Facility. The terms of the Extended Senior Term Loans shall be substantially similar to the existing loans

  (b)   the commitments under the Revolving Facility be extended (any such commitments under the Revolving Facility which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Commitments”), and in connection therewith, provide for different interest rates and fees and voluntary prepayments for the Lender(s) providing such Extended Revolving Commitments, and upon any such request of the Borrower, any individual Lender under the Revolving Facility shall have the right to agree to such extension and other modifications without the consent of any other Lender under the Senior Facilities or Required Lenders; provided that all such requests shall be made pro rata to all lenders with commitments under the Revolving Facility. The terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments shall be substantially similar to the Revolving Facility, except for interest rates, fees, final maturity date, voluntary prepayments and certain other customary provisions to be agreed.

 

 

In addition, the Senior Facilities Documentation shall provide for the amendment (or amendment and restatement) of the Senior Facilities Documentation to (a) add one or more additional or replacement credit facilities thereto and changes related thereto and (b) to provide for term loans replacing all or a portion of the Term Loans, subject to customary limitations, with only the consent of the Borrower and the Lenders providing such replacement term loans and, in connection with any of the foregoing, the right of the Borrower to require the applicable Lenders to assign their Term Loans to the providers of any replacement credit facility or loans or to prepay their outstanding

loans and terminate their commitments. The terms of such replacement term loans shall reflect market terms at the time of incurrence thereof; provided, that (1) they shall not have a final maturity date earlier than, or weighted average life to maturity shorter than the weighted average life to maturity applicable to, the Term Loans being so amended and/or replaced, (2) any mandatory and optional prepayment provisions shall not require payments greater than their pro rata share, and may permit optional and mandatory prepayments to be directed to the non-amended or non-replaced Term Loans prior to such replacement term loans and (3) the covenants, events of default and guarantees of such replacement term loans, if not materially consistent with the terms of the corresponding initial Term Loans, shall not be materially more restrictive to the Borrower, when taken as a whole, than the terms of the initial Term Loans unless (x) Lenders under the initial Term Loan Facilities also receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the maturity date of the Term Loan Facilities.

 

  In addition, if the Agents and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature in the Senior Facilities Documentation, then the Agents and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision without further action or consent of any other party if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Agents within five (5) business days following receipt of notice thereof.

 

Cost and Yield Protection:

Usual for facilities and transactions of this type, including customary tax gross-up provisions (including but not limited to provisions relating to Dodd-Frank and Basel III).

 

Assignments and Participations:

The Lenders will be permitted to assign (a) loans under the Term Facility and (b) loans and commitments under the Revolving Facility, in each case with the consent of the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment if the Borrower does not object within 10 Business Days after having received written notice thereof), and with respect to clause (b), the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank, in each case not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such consent of the Borrower shall not be required (i) if such assignment is made to another Lender or an affiliate or approved fund of any such

 

Senior Facilities Term Sheet

 

A-31


 

Lender or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a payment or bankruptcy event of default. All assignments will also require the consent of the applicable Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each assignment will be in an amount of an integral multiple of $2,500,000 (in the case of loans and commitments under the Revolving Facility) or $1,000,000 (in the case of loans under the Term Facility) or, in either case, such lesser amount as may constitute such assigning Lender’s entire Loan or commitments or as may be agreed to by the applicable parties). Assignments will be by novation and not be required to be pro rata between the Senior Facilities. In no event shall any assignment be made to a Disqualified Institution.

 

  Non-pro rata distributions and commitment reductions will be permitted in connection with loan buy-back or similar programs and assignments to, and purchases by, the Borrower and its subsidiaries will be permitted without any consent, including through open-market purchases and Dutch auctions open to all Lenders in accordance with customary procedures to be mutually agreed; provided that (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Borrower shall immediately cause any loans assigned to, or purchased by, it to be cancelled, (iii) no proceeds from any Revolving Loan shall be used to fund such purchases, (iv) neither the Borrower nor any of its affiliates shall be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its subsidiaries or their respective securities and all parties to the relevant transactions shall render customary “big boy” disclaimer letters and (v) the Borrower and its subsidiaries shall not be permitted to purchase Revolving Loans or commitments under the Revolving Facility.

In no event shall any participation be made to a Disqualified Institution.

 

Senior Facilities Term Sheet

Defaulting Lenders:

If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the letter of credit exposure and swingline loans of such Defaulting Lender will automatically (subject to conditions to be agreed) be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the Revolving Facility up to an amount such that the revolving credit exposure of such non-Defaulting Lender does not exceed its commitments. In the event that such reallocation does not fully cover the letter of credit exposure or swingline loans, as applicable, of such Defaulting Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may require the Borrower to cash collateralize such “uncovered” exposure in respect of each outstanding letter of credit and swingline loan and will have no obligation to issue new letters of credit (or to extend, renew or amend existing letters of credit) or make new swingline loans to the extent letter of credit exposure or swingline loans would exceed the commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders, unless such “uncovered” exposure is cash collateralized to the Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s, as applicable, reasonable satisfaction. The Borrower shall also have the right to terminate the commitment of any Defaulting Lender to the extent such termination does not cause the revolving credit exposure to exceed the revolving credit commitments.

 

Expenses and Indemnification:

The Borrower will indemnify the Lead Arrangers, the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, in each case, in their respective capacities as such, and their respective successors and assigns and the officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons and members of each of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Person”) and hold them harmless from and against all costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel to all Indemnified Persons (taken as a whole) (and (x) if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction and (y) solely in the case of an actual conflict of interest, one additional firm of counsel as necessary to the affected Indemnified Persons taken as a whole) but no other third-party advisors without prior consent) and liabilities of such Indemnified

For purposes hereof, a “Related Indemnified Person” of any Indemnified Person shall include (a) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such Indemnified Person, (b) the respective directors, officers or employees of such Indemnified Person or any of its controlling persons or controlled affiliates and (c) the respective agents of such Indemnified Person or any of its controlling persons or controlled affiliates, in the case of this clause (c), acting at the instructions of such Indemnified Person, controlling person or controlled affiliate; provided that each reference to a controlled affiliate or controlling person in this definition pertains to a controlled affiliate or controlling person involved in the negotiation or syndication of the Senior Facilities or the investment in or holding of the loans under the Senior Facilities, as applicable.

 

 

In addition, the Borrower shall pay (a) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, limited to the reasonable fees and reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses of one firm of legal counsel and one firm of local counsel in each applicable material jurisdiction) of the Lead Arrangers, the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank in

ANNEX I

to Exhibit A

 

Interest Rates:

The interest rates under the Senior Facilities will be as follows:

 

  Revolving Facility

 

  At the option of the Borrower, initially Adjusted LIBOR plus 2.50% or ABR plus 3.50%; provided that all swingline borrowings will accrue interest based on the ABR option.

 

  From and after the delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of the Borrower’s financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrower completed after the Closing Date, interest rate margins under the Revolving Facility shall be determined by reference to the below pricing grid:

 

Consolidated Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio

   Adjusted
LIBOR Margin
    ABR Margin  

£ 2.00:1.00

     2.25     3.25

> 2.00:1.00 and £ 4.00:1.00

     2.50     3.50

> 4.00:1.00

     2.75     3.75

 

  Term Facility

 

  At the option of the Borrower, Adjusted LIBOR plus 3.00% or ABR plus 4.00%.

 

  All Facilities

 

  The Borrower may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months (or, if available to all relevant Lenders, a period shorter than one month or 12 months, as selected by the Borrower) for Adjusted LIBOR borrowings.

 

  Calculation of interest shall be on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year (or 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be, in the case of ABR loans based on the prime rate) and (x) in the case of Adjusted LIBOR, shall be payable at the end of each interest period and, in any event, at least every three months and (y) in the case of ABR, payable in arrears on a quarterly basis and upon prepayment.

 

Senior Facilities Term Sheet


  ABR is the Alternate Base Rate, which is the highest of (i) the rate that the Agent announces from time to time as its prime or base commercial lending rate, as in effect from time to time, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus  12 of 1.0% and (iii) one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%.

 

  Adjusted LIBOR will at all times include statutory reserves and, in the case of the Term Facility only, shall be deemed to be not less than 0.75% per annum.

 

Letter of Credit Fees:

A per annum fee equal to the spread over Adjusted LIBOR under the Revolving Facility will accrue on the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility, payable in arrears at the end of each quarter and upon the termination of the Revolving Facility, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. Such fees shall be distributed to the Lenders participating in the Revolving Facility pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Lender’s Revolving Facility commitment (other than to Defaulting Lenders). In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, (a) a fronting fee equal to a percentage per annum to be agreed upon of the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit, payable in arrears at the end of each quarter and upon the termination of the Revolving Facility, calculated based upon the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year, and (b) customary and reasonable issuance and administration fees.

 

Commitment Fees:

Initially, 0.375% per annum on the undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the Senior Facilities, payable quarterly in arrears after the Closing Date and upon the termination of the commitments, calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. The commitment fee shall not be payable to Defaulting Lenders.

 

  From and after the delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of the Borrower’s financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrower completed after the Closing Date, commitment fees under the Revolving Facility shall be determined by reference to the below pricing grid:

Changes in Interest Rate Margins and Commitment Fees:

The Senior Facilities Documentation will contain provisions under which, from and after a date to be agreed, interest rate margins and commitment fees under the Revolving Facility will be subject to change in increments to be agreed upon based upon performance goals to be agreed upon.

 

Original Issue Discount/Upfront Fees:

An upfront fee equal to 0.375% of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Facility will be payable by the Borrower on the Closing Date for the account of the Lenders participating in the Revolving Facility. The loans under the Term Facility will be issued to the Lenders participating in the Term Facility at a price of 99.0% of their principal amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) all calculations of interest and fees in respect of the Senior Facilities will be calculated on the basis of their full stated principal amount and (b) at the option of the Lead Arranger, any original issue discount may instead be effected in the form of an upfront fee payable to the Lenders.

Sole Bookrunner and Sole Lead Arranger:

MSSF Securities (USA) LLC will act as a bookrunner and lead arranger for the Bridge Facility described below (collectively, in such capacities, the “Bridge Lead Arranger”, and, together with the Additional Committing Lenders or their respective affiliates acting as additional arrangers pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the “Bridge Lead Arrangers”), and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles.

 

Syndication Agent:

At the option of the Lead Arranger with the consent of the Borrower, one or more financial institutions identified by the Lead Arranger (in such capacity, the “Syndication Agent”).

 

Documentation Agent:

At the option of the Lead Arranger and with the consent of the Borrower, one or more financial institutions identified by the Lead Arranger (in such capacity, the “Documentation Agent”).

 

Bridge Facility:

Senior unsecured bridge loans (the “Bridge Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,250,000,000 minus (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued on the Closing Date, minus (ii) the amount of Preferred Stock Proceeds (the “Bridge Facility”).

 

Purpose:

The proceeds of the Bridge Loans will be used by the Borrower on the Closing Date, together with the proceeds of the Senior Facilities, solely (a) to pay the Merger Consideration, (b) to refinance the Existing Debt and (c) to pay the Transaction Costs.

 

3  All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Commitment Letter to which this term sheet is attached, including Exhibit A thereto (the “Senior Facilities Term Sheet”).

Availability:

The full amount of the Bridge Facility must be drawn in a single drawing on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under the Bridge Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

 

Ranking:

The Bridge Loans will rank pari passu with the Senior Facilities (except with respect to any collateral).

 

Guarantees:

Each existing and subsequently acquired or organized restricted subsidiary of the Borrower that is a guarantor of the Senior Facilities will guarantee (the “Bridge Guarantees”) the Bridge Loans on a senior unsecured basis. Any Bridge Guarantees will be automatically released upon the release of the Guarantors under the Senior Facilities.

 

  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the requirements of the preceding paragraph shall be, as of the Closing Date, subject to the limitations set forth in the Certain Funds Provision.

 

Unrestricted Subsidiaries:

The definitive documentation for the Bridge Facility will contain provisions pursuant to which, so long as no event of default is continuing, the Borrower will be permitted to designate any existing or subsequently acquired or organized subsidiary as an “unrestricted subsidiary” and subsequently re-designate such unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary; provided, (x) such designation of a restricted subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary shall be deemed to constitute an investment and (y) such redesignation of any unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary shall be deemed to constitute the incurrence of indebtedness and liens of such subsidiary (to the extent assumed). Unrestricted subsidiaries will not be subject to the mandatory prepayments, representations and warranties, covenants, events of default or other provisions of the definitive documentation for the Bridge Facility, and the results of operations and indebtedness of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of calculating any financial ratios or baskets contained in the definitive documentation for the Bridge Facility.

the Fee Letter) at the end of each three month period thereafter, the spread over Adjusted LIBOR shall be increased by 50 basis points (the Initial Margin plus each 50 basis point increase described above, the “Applicable Margin”). “Adjusted LIBOR” means the London interbank offered rate for U.S. dollars (for a three-month interest period), which will at all times include statutory reserves and shall be deemed to be not less than 1.00% per annum.

 

  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, at no time shall the per annum interest rate on the Bridge Loans, the Extended Term Loans (as defined below) or the Exchange Notes (as defined below) exceed the Total Cap (as defined in the Fee Letter). Upon the occurrence of a Demand Failure Event (as defined in the Fee Letter), the interest rate with respect to the outstanding Bridge Loans will automatically increase by the amount necessary so that the total effective yield equals (but does not exceed) the Total Cap.

 

  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Demand Failure Event shall not result in a default or Event of Default or permit the Lenders to accelerate the Bridge Loans.

 

Interest Payments:

Interest on the Bridge Loans will be payable in cash, quarterly in arrears. Calculation of interest shall be on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

 

Default Rate:

Upon any payment or bankruptcy event of default, the interest rate will be, with respect to overdue amounts, the applicable interest rate plus 2.0% per annum. Interest on such overdue amounts will be payable upon written demand.

 

  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 in cash of any default rate of interest in respect of any Bridge Loans, Extended Term Loans or Exchange Notes.

 

Conversion and Maturity:

On the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Conversion Date”), any Bridge Loan that has not been previously repaid in full will be automatically converted into a senior unsecured term loan (each an “Extended Term Loan”) due on the date that is eight years after the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”). At any time on or

 

Bridge Facility Term Sheet

 

B-3


 

after the Conversion Date, at the option of the applicable Lender, the Extended Term Loans may be exchanged in whole or in part for senior unsecured exchange notes (the “Exchange Notes”) having an equal principal amount; provided, that no Exchange Notes shall be issued until the Borrower shall have received requests to issue at least $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes.

 

  The Extended Term Loans will be governed by the provisions of the Bridge Loan Documents (as defined below) and will have the same terms as the Bridge Loans except as expressly set forth on Annex I hereto. The Exchange Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture that will have the terms set forth on Annex II hereto. The Extended Term Loan and Exchange Notes shall be pari passu with the Senior Facilities.

 

Mandatory Prepayments:

The Bridge Loans shall be prepaid with, subject to certain exceptions to be agreed upon and after deduction of, among other things, amounts required to repay or prepay the Senior Facilities, (i) the net cash proceeds from the issuance, offering or placement of any debt obligations or equity securities by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries; provided that in the event that any lender that committed to provide a portion of the Bridge Loans pursuant to the Commitment Letter (each, an “Initial Bridge Lender”) or any of its affiliates purchases debt securities from the Borrower or its subsidiaries pursuant to a “securities offering” under the Fee Letter at an issue price above the level at which such Initial Bridge Lender or affiliate has determined such debt securities can be resold at the time of such purchase by such Initial Bridge Lender or affiliate to a bona fide third party that is not a Lender under the Bridge Facility or an affiliate thereof or a participant in the Bridge Facility at such time (and notifies the Borrower in writing thereof), the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries in respect of such debt securities may, at the option of such Initial Bridge Lender or affiliate, be applied first to prepay the Bridge Loans of such Initial Bridge Lender or affiliate (provided that if there is more than one such Initial Bridge Lender or affiliate then such net cash proceeds will be applied pro rata to prepay the Bridge Loans of all such Initial Bridge Lenders or affiliates in proportion to such Initial Bridge Lenders’ or affiliates’ principal amount of debt securities purchased from the Borrower or its subsidiaries) prior to being applied to prepay the Bridge Loans held by other Lenders; and (ii) the net cash proceeds from any non-ordinary course asset sales by the

 

Bridge Facility Term Sheet

 

B-4


 

Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries in excess of an amount to be mutually agreed (and only in respect of amounts in excess thereof) and subject to exceptions to be mutually agreed upon and a 100% reinvestment right if reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) within 12 months of such sale or disposition (or 18 months in the event a binding letter of intent is entered into within such 12-month period). The Borrower will also be required to prepay the Bridge Loans following the occurrence of a Change of Control (to be defined) at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof (plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon).

 

Voluntary Prepayments:

Subject to the provisions of the Senior Facilities, the Bridge Loans may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest upon not less than one business day’s prior written notice, at the option of the Borrower at any time.

 

Representations and Warranties:

The definitive documentation relating to the Bridge Loans (the “Bridge Loan Documents”) will contain representations and warranties relating to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries that are consistent with those specified under the caption “Representations and Warranties” in the Senior Facilities Term Sheet, with such changes as are appropriate in connection with the Bridge Loans, and which, in any event, be no less favorable to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries than the provisions in the Senior Facilities Documentation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bridge Loan Documents will include (i) a covenant for the Borrower to use its commercially reasonable efforts to refinance the Bridge Loans as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date and (ii) customary securities demand and cooperation covenants consistent with those set forth in the Fee Letter.

Events of Default:    Customary for the type of transactions proposed relating to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (subject to to materiality thresholds, qualifications, exceptions, and grace and cure periods to be mutually agreed): nonpayment of principal when due, nonpayment of interest or other amounts after a five (5) business day grace period; violation of covenants after a specified period of time for certain covenants to be agreed (subject, in the case of affirmative covenants, to a grace period of 30 days following written notice from the Bridge Facility Agent (other than in respect of maintenance of the Borrower’s existence and notices of an event of default)); on the Closing Date, any Specified Representation proving to have been materially incorrect when made and on any date thereafter, any other representation or warranty proving to have been materially incorrect when made or deemed made; cross acceleration and cross-payment default at maturity of debt in excess of an amount to be mutually agreed; bankruptcy (with a 60 day grace period for involuntary proceedings); monetary judgment defaults to the extent not covered by indemnities or insurance above an amount to be mutually agreed; customary ERISA events that would result in a Material Adverse Effect; and actual or asserted invalidity of Guarantees.

As of the date hereof, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, including the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement on the date hereof, and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans:

 

  (a) the fair value of the assets (on a going concern basis) of Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, exceeds, on a consolidated basis, their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise;

 

  (b) the present fair saleable value of the property (on a going concern basis) of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability, on a consolidated basis, of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured in the ordinary course of business;

 

  (c) the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such liabilities become absolute and matured in the ordinary course of business; and
