Rights of the Administrative Agent (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the Pledgors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and partnership or membership distributions, as applicable, in respect of the Partnership/LLC Interests and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) all shares of the Pledged Stock and the Partnership/LLC Interests shall be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate, partnership, membership and other rights pertaining to such shares of the Pledged Stock or Partnership/LLC Interests at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members of the applicable Issuer or Partnership/LLC or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such shares of the Pledged Stock or Partnership/LLC Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Stock or Partnership/LLC Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of the applicable Issuer or Partnership/LLC, or upon the exercise by the Pledgors or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such shares of the Pledged Stock or the Partnership/LLC Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock or the Partnership/LLC Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to the Pledgors to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In furtherance thereof, each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer or Partnership/LLC with respect to any Collateral consisting of Pledged Stock or Partnership/LLC Interests to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Pledge Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Issuer or Partnership/LLC shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if requested by the Administrative Agent, pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to any Pledged Stock or Partnership/LLC Interests directly to the Administrative Agent.
Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.
Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act, unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.
Liability of the Administrative Agent The Administrative Agent shall be liable under this Trust Agreement only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken hereunder by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent.
Reliance by the Administrative Agent The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Duties of the Administrative Agent (a) The Administrative Agent agrees to perform all its duties as Administrative Agent and the duties of the Issuing Entity and the Owner Trustee under the Related Documents. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall consult with the Owner Trustee regarding the duties of the Issuing Entity or the Owner Trustee under the Related Documents. The Administrative Agent shall monitor the performance of the Issuing Entity and shall advise the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to comply with the respective duties of the Issuing Entity and the Owner Trustee under the Related Documents. The Administrative Agent shall prepare for execution by the Issuing Entity, or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate persons of, all such documents, reports, notices, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions that it shall be the duty of the Issuing Entity or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Related Documents. In addition, the Administrative Agent or the Depositor shall execute and deliver any filings, certificates, affidavits or other instruments required under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, to the extent permitted by applicable law. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall take (or, in the case of the immediately preceding sentence, cause to be taken) all appropriate action that the Issuing Entity or the Owner Trustee is required to take pursuant to the Indenture, including, without limitation, such of the foregoing as are required with respect to the following matters under the Indenture (references are to Sections of the Indenture):
Resignation of the Administrative Agent The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Parent Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Parent Borrower may remove such Defaulting Lender from such role upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to the Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Parent Borrower at all times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) (which consent of the Parent Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring the Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring the Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and L/C Issuers, appoint a successor the Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or L/C Issuers under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring the Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor the Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor the Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (i) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (ii) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) the Administrative Agent, and the retiring the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06). The fees payable by the Parent Borrower to a successor the Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and such successor. After the retiring the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring the Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring the Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent. Any resignation by Bank of America as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) such retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
Performance by the Administrative Agent If any Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant or agreement in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, and shall at the direction of the Required Lenders, perform or attempt to perform such covenant or agreement on behalf of the applicable Loan Party. In such event, IHS shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent promptly pay any amount expended by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the interest rate provided for in Section 2.13(d) from and including the date of such expenditure to but excluding the date such expenditure is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document.
Presumption by the Administrative Agent Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Nothing in this paragraph shall relieve any Lender of its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder, and this paragraph shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and Lenders The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Loan Notices, Letter of Credit Applications and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance in good faith by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
