Waiver by Borrower Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by law, Borrower covenants that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force, nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Collateral or any part thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute now or hereafter made or enacted by any state or otherwise to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof, and, to the full extent legally permitted, except as to rights expressly provided herein, hereby expressly waives for itself and on behalf of each and every Person, except decree or judgment creditors of Borrower, acquiring any interest in or title to the Collateral or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this Agreement, all benefit and advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants that it will not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted and delegated to Lender, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such power, law or laws had been made or enacted.
Requests for Increase by Borrower The Borrower may, at any time, request that the Commitments hereunder of a Class be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment Increase”), upon notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), which notice shall specify each existing Lender (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or each additional lender (each an “Assuming Lender”) that shall have agreed to an additional Commitment and the date on which such increase is to be effective (the “Commitment Increase Date”), which shall be a Business Day at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) after delivery of such notice and 30 days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided that:
(A) the minimum amount of the Commitment of any Assuming Lender, and the minimum amount of the increase of the Commitment of any Increasing Lender, as part of such Commitment Increase shall be $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree;
(B) immediately after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, the total Commitments of all of the Lenders hereunder shall not exceed $1,000,000,000;
(C) each Assuming Lender shall be consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
(D) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Commitment Increase Date or shall result from the proposed Commitment Increase; and
(E) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any portion of the representations and warranties already subject to a materiality qualifier, true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).
Limited Waiver 3.1 Solely during the Waiver Period (as defined below) and not at any other time, the Lenders hereby agree to temporarily waive the Anticipated Defaults and the right to accelerate the Obligations as a result thereof. During the Waiver Period, the Anticipated Defaults shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no right to enforce rights or exercise remedies with respect to the Anticipated Defaults. The waivers provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall automatically and without further action or notice by any party expire on the Limited Waiver Termination Date (as defined below).
3.2 No waiver provided herein shall remain in effect after the Limited Waiver Termination Date. Upon the Limited Waiver Termination Date, the Anticipated Defaults shall be deemed to be Events of Default in full force and effect, having occurred as of September 30, 2012 and continuing uninterrupted thereafter for all purposes, including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating and charging default interest under Section 2.9(c) of the Credit Agreement, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall retain all of the rights and remedies related thereto. This Agreement shall not have the effect of tolling or extending any applicable cure period beyond the period that would have applied absent this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any Default, whether now existing or hereafter arising, or of any right or remedy the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have under any of the Loan Documents or applicable law, except to the extent expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Lenders’ execution and delivery of this Agreement establish a course of dealing among the Lenders and the Borrower or in any way obligate the Lenders to hereafter provide any further waiver of any kind, to provide any further time prior to the enforcement of their rights or to provide any other financial accommodations to or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party.
3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Lenders do not now waive, nor do they agree that they will waive in the future, any further Default or Event of Default. Neither this Agreement nor any course of dealing or delay or failure of the Lenders in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in connection with any Event of Default shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or the existence of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, except to the extent expressly set forth herein; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege or any abandonment or discontinuance of the steps to enforce any such right, remedy, power or privilege (pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, except to the extent expressly set forth herein. For the purposes hereof,
Waivers by Borrower BORROWER WAIVES (A) THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY (WHICH LENDER HEREBY ALSO WAIVES) IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS OR THE COLLATERAL; (B) PRESENTMENT, DEMAND AND PROTEST AND NOTICE OF PRESENTMENT, PROTEST, DEFAULT, NON-PAYMENT, INTENT TO ACCELERATE, ACCELERATION, MATURITY, RELEASE, COMPROMISE, SETTLEMENT, EXTENSION OR RENEWAL OF ANY OR ALL COMMERCIAL PAPER, ACCOUNTS, CONTRACT RIGHTS, DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, CHATTEL PAPER AND GUARANTIES AT ANY TIME HELD BY LENDER ON WHICH BORROWER MAY IN ANY WAY BE LIABLE AND HEREBY RATIFIES AND CONFIRMS WHATEVER LENDER MAY DO IN THIS REGARD; (C) NOTICE PRIOR TO TAKING POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF THE COLLATERAL OR ANY BOND OR SECURITY WHICH MIGHT BE REQUIRED BY ANY COURT PRIOR TO ALLOWING LENDER TO EXERCISE ANY OF LENDER'S REMEDIES;
Waivers by Borrowers Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Credit Party, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 12 and such waivers, Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.
Release by Borrower a. FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, Borrower hereby forever relieves, releases, and discharges Collateral Agent and each Lender and their respective present or former employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives, attorneys, and each of them, from any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, promises, acts, agreements, costs and expenses, actions and causes of action, of every type, kind, nature, description or character whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, absolute or contingent, arising out of or in any manner whatsoever connected with or related to facts, circumstances, issues, controversies or claims existing or arising from the beginning of time through and including the date of execution of this Amendment solely to the extent such claims arise out of or are in any manner whatsoever connected with or related to the Loan Documents, the Recitals hereto, any instruments, agreements or documents executed in connection with any of the foregoing or the origination, negotiation, administration, servicing and/or enforcement of any of the foregoing (collectively “Released Claims”).
b. In furtherance of this release, Borrower expressly acknowledges and waives any and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” (Emphasis added.)
c. By entering into this release, Borrower recognizes that no facts or representations are ever absolutely certain and it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which it presently knows or believes to be true, but that it is the intention of Borrower hereby to fully, finally and forever settle and release all matters, disputes and differences, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected in respect of the Released Claims; accordingly, if Borrower should subsequently discover that any fact that it relied upon in entering into this release was untrue, or that any understanding of the facts was incorrect, Borrower shall not be entitled to set aside this release by reason thereof, regardless of any claim of mistake of fact or law or any other circumstances whatsoever. Borrower acknowledges that it is not relying upon and has not relied upon any representation or statement made by Bank with respect to the facts underlying this release or with regard to any of such party’s rights or asserted rights.
d. This release may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and/or as a cross-complaint or counterclaim against any action, suit, or other proceeding that may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of this release. Borrower acknowledges that the release contained herein constitutes a material inducement to Collateral Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, and that Collateral Agent and the Lenders would not have done so but for Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ expectation that such release is valid and enforceable in all events.
e. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and Collateral Agent and the Lenders are relying thereon, as follows:
i. Except as expressly stated in this Amendment, neither Collateral Agent, the Lenders nor any agent, employee or representative of any of them has made any statement or representation to Borrower regarding any fact relied upon by Borrower in entering into this Amendment.
ii. Borrower has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this Amendment and all of the matters appertaining thereto, as it deems necessary.
iii. The terms of this Amendment are contractual and not a mere recital.
iv. This Amendment has been carefully read by Borrower, the contents hereof are known and understood by Borrower, and this Amendment is signed freely, and without duress, by Borrower.
v. Borrower represents and warrants that it is the sole and lawful owner of all right, title and interest in and to every claim and every other matter which it releases herein, and that it has not heretofore assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any person, firm or entity any claims or other matters herein released. Borrower shall indemnify Collateral Agent and the Lenders, defend and hold each harmless from and against all claims based upon or arising in connection with prior assignments or purported assignments or transfers of any claims or matters released herein.
Limited Waivers At the request of the Borrowers and the Guarantors the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby waive on a temporary basis, expiring on the Termination Date, the following Specified Events of Defaults:
(a) Any failure by the Borrowers to comply with Section 6.03(a) of the Credit Agreement requiring the Borrowers to provide prompt notice of the occurrence of any Default in regards to the Specified Events of Default, which events shall include any occurrence during the Temporary Waiver Period of those events set forth on Schedule I hereto, is hereby waived (and any breach of a representation or warranty related to the Specified Events of Default is hereby similarly waived).
(b) Any failure by the Borrowers to comply with Section 6.03(b) of the Credit Agreement requiring the Borrowers to provide prompt notice upon the occurrence of any matter that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is hereby waived (and any related existing breach of a representation or warranty is hereby similarly waived) insofar as, and only insofar as, such failure to provide notice (i) related to the non-renewal of the Cenovus Services Agreement and the Xxxxxx Services Agreement, and (ii) any occurrence during the Temporary Waiver Period of the events set forth on Schedule II hereto (and any existing breach of a representation or warranty related to (i) and (ii) above).
(c) Any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(g) of the Credit Agreement resulting from the Borrowers’ admission that they would become unable to pay their debts as they generally become due is hereby waived (and any related breach of a representation or warranty is hereby similarly waived), and to the extent any forecasting by the Loan Parties during the Temporary Waiver Period evidences the Borrowers’ inability to pay debts as they come due and owing or insolvency, any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom is waived. The Temporary Waiver in this Section 4 is effective only in respect of those Specified Events of Default, and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no other waivers, amendments or modifications are intended or made by this Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, or any Lender in exercising any power or right under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No waiver or approval by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to any subsequent transaction or any Default or Event of Default under any Loan Document. Notwithstanding any language herein to the contrary, nothing herein is intended to nor shall waive (temporary or otherwise) or otherwise release the Borrowers or Guarantors from any other Event of Default under any Loan Document that is not a Specified Event of Default. Similarly, notwithstanding any language herein to the contrary, nothing herein is intended to nor shall release the Borrowers or Guarantors from any Specified Event of Default, except for such Temporary Waiver as specified herein. Further, any post-default interest payable at the Default Rate resulting from the Specified Events of Default which would otherwise apply, is hereby waived for the Specified Events of Default for the duration of the Temporary Waiver Period, unless (i) a Default or Event of Default other than the Specified Events of Default occurs or has occurred, or, (ii) following the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent elects in its sole discretion (or is otherwise directed by the Required Lenders), to assess post-default interest at the Default Rate in accordance with the Credit Agreement and so notifies the Borrowers.
Amendment and Waiver The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and Executive, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement.
Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent Unless Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Amendment and Waivers Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof for default in payment of any amount due hereunder or default in the performance hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default.
