The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.
Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances (a) Additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) with respect to the Initial Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (iv) below a “Registration Default”):
(i) If an Exchange Offer Registration Statement is required to be filed and it does not become effective by the Effectiveness Deadline;
(ii) If the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated within 60 days of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement;
(iii) If an effective Shelf Registration Statement is required to be filed with the Commission but does not become effective within 30 days following the event which required the filing of such Shelf Registration Statement; or
(iv) If after either an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement is declared (or becomes automatically) effective (A) such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or (B) such Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable (except as permitted in paragraph (b)) in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified herein because either (1) any event occurs as a result of which the related prospectus forming part of such Registration Statement would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, (2) it shall be necessary to amend such Registration Statement or supplement the related prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, or (3) such Registration Statement is a Shelf Registration Statement that has expired before a replacement Shelf Registration Statement has become effective. Additional Interest shall accrue on the Initial Securities over and above the interest set forth in the title of such Securities from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been cured or the Initial Securities cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, whichever is earlier, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of a Registration Default (the “Initial Period”), and such rate will increase by 0.25% per annum on the 91st day following the occurrence of such Registration Default (it being understood and agreed that the maximum Additional Interest rate during the Initial Period shall be 0.25% per annum and the maximum Additional Interest rate thereafter shall be 0.50% per annum, in each case, regardless of the number of Registration Defaults that shall have occurred and be continuing).
(b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 7(a)(iv)(B) hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y) the occurrence of other material events with respect to the Company that would be required to be disclosed in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus, and the disclosure of which in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus would in the good faith determination of the Company (1) interfere with or affect the negotiation or completion of a transaction that is being contemplated by the Company (whether or not a final decision has been made to undertake such transaction) and (2) involve initial or continuing disclosure obligations that are not in the best interest of the Company or its stockholders at such time and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding in good faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days or more than an aggregate of 90 days in any 12-month period, Additional Interest shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured.
(c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 7(a) above will be payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates with respect to the Initial Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the Initial Securities, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360.
