all Lenders exceeding the then applicable Borrowing Base (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate
last delivered). Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, Borrower may
borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.
Section 2.02 Revolving Loans. (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their
applicable Revolving Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any Revolving
Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being
understood, however, that no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Revolving Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by such other Revolving Lender).
Except for Revolving Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(ii), (x) any Borrowing
shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less
than $250,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.
(b) Each Revolving Lender may at its option make any Revolving Loan by causing any domestic or
foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Revolving Loan; provided that any exercise
of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loan
and Borrower to repay such Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Except with respect to Revolving Loans made pursuant to
Section
2.18(e)(ii), each Revolving Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it
hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such
account in
New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 11:00 a.m.,
New
York City time, and the
43
Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an
account as directed by Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request maintained with the
Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition
precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the
respective Lenders.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Revolving Lender prior
to the date of any Borrowing that such Revolving Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Revolving Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Revolving Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent
on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above, and the Administrative Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower
on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds
available, then, to the extent that such Revolving Lender shall not have made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the
Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank
compensation. If such Revolving Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding
amount, such amount shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for
purposes of this Agreement, and Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall cease.
Section 2.03
Borrowing Procedure. To request a Revolving Borrowing, Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or facsimile
transmission (or transmit by other electronic transmission if arrangements for doing so have been
approved in writing by the Administrative Agent), a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request
to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on the second Business
Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing (or such later time as may be reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Borrowing, or the Issuing Bank, in the case of any
issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit). Each Borrowing Request shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.02:
(a) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
(b) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(c) the location and number of Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which
shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c); and
(d) that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b) — (d) are satisfied as of the
date of the notice.
Section 2.04 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to (i) the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such
Revolving Lender on the Maturity Date and (ii) the Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal
amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such
Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least
two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on
44
each date that a Revolving
Borrowing is made, Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such
Borrowing was requested.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender
from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender
from time to time under this Agreement.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of
each Loan made hereunder and the Class applicable thereto; (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder; and
(iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the
Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) Absent manifest error, the entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs
(b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations
therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain
such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of Borrower to
repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.
(e) Any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may
request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event,
Borrower shall prepare promptly (and, in all events, within five Business Days of receipt of such
request), execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such
Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in the form of
Exhibit H-1, or H-2, as the case may be. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such
promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to
Section 11.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the
order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee
and its registered assigns).
Section 2.05 Fees. Non-Utilization Fee. (a) Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender a non-utilization fee (a “Non-Utilization Fee”) equal to the greater of (x)
0.50% per annum of the average daily unused amount of each Revolving Commitment of such Lender
during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such
Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued Non-Utilization Fees shall be payable in arrears (A) on
each Interest Payment Date with respect to the prior Month, and (B) on the date on which such
Commitment terminates. Non-Utilization Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding
the last day). For purposes of computing Non-Utilization Fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender
shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such
Lender, and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose.
(b) Early Termination Fee. Upon the termination of this Agreement or termination or
reduction of the Revolving Commitment or any portion thereof prior to the second anniversary of the
Restatement Date, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving
Lenders an amount equal to the Early Termination Fee; provided, that no Early Termination Fee shall
be payable with respect to up to $25,000,000 of the initial voluntary partial reduction of the
Revolving Commitment by Borrower effectuated pursuant to Section 2.07(b).
45
(c) Administrative Agent Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter or such other fees payable
in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).
(d) LC and Fronting Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to (i) the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee (“LC Participation Fee”) with respect to
its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the
Applicable Margin from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Loans pursuant
to Section 2.06 on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the
Restatement Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment
terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) the Issuing
Bank a fronting fee (“Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate per annum usually and
customarily charged by the Issuing Bank to corporate account parties (or such lesser rate per annum
as the Issuing Bank may from time to time agree) on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from
and including the Restatement Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the
Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the
Issuing Bank’s customary charges with respect to the administration, issuance, amendment,
negotiation, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be
payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each
year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Date, and (ii) on the date
on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. Any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing
Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand therefor. All LC
Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day).
(e) Other Fees. Borrower agrees to pay the Agents, for their own account, fees
payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between Borrower and the applicable
Agents.
(f) Payment of Fees. All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate,
among the Lenders, except that Borrower shall pay the Fronting Fees directly to the Issuing Bank.
Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.
Section 2.06 Interest
on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(b), each Revolving Loan and Swingline
Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable
Margin.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during an Event of Default, all Obligations shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, bear interest, after as well as before judgment,
at a per annum rate equal to (i) in the case of principal of or interest on any Loan, 2.0% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section
2.06 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0% plus the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin (in either case, the “Default Rate”).
46
(c) Accrued interest on the Revolving Loan for each Month (or such other period if remaining
accrued and unpaid) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan on the
greater of (x) the daily outstanding balance thereof during such Month (or such other period), and
(y) the Minimum Revolving Balance; provided that (i) in calculating the greater amount between (x)
and (y) above in any one Month, Borrower shall be given credit for the daily outstanding balance of
Swingline Loans for such Month as if they were made as Revolving Loans (ii) interest accrued
pursuant to Section 2.06(b) shall be payable on demand, and (iii) in the event of any
repayment or prepayment of any Revolving Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or
prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.
(d) Accrued interest on the Swingline Loan shall be payable in arrears on the date of any
repayment or prepayment of any Swingline Loan.
(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365
days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate
or Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.07 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Revolving Commitments, the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment shall
automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) At its option, Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently
reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments
shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $2,500,000 and not less than $5,000,000; (ii)
unless the Revolving Commitments are being terminated in full in connection with the simultaneous
payment in full of all Obligations, the Revolving Commitments shall not be reduced to below
$30,000,000; (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving
effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.09,
the aggregate amount of Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving
Commitments; and (iv) simultaneously with any termination or reduction, Borrower shall have paid to
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders the Early Termination Fee (if
any).
(c) Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any election to terminate or
reduce the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.07(b) at least three Business Days prior
to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective
date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving
Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably
among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.
Section 2.08 [Intentionally Omitted].
Section 2.09 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. (a) Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to
time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part; provided that each partial prepayment or
permanent reduction in any Commitment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
$250,000 and not less than $500,000 and provided, further that
47
following such prepayment, the
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan is not less than the Minimum Revolving Balance.
(b) Revolving Loan Prepayments. (i) In the event of the termination of all the
Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its
outstanding Revolving Borrowings and all outstanding Swingline Loans and either (A) replace all
outstanding Letters of Credit or (B) cash collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i).
(ii) In the event of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments, then (x) at or
prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify
Borrower and the Revolving Lenders of the sum of the Revolving Exposures after giving effect
thereto and (y) if the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of
Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, then Borrower shall on the date
of such reduction (and notwithstanding that such reduction may be in breach of the
requirement
to maintain a Minimum Revolving Balance), first, repay or prepay Swingline Loans,
second, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings and third, replace outstanding Letters of
Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 2.18(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such
excess.
(iii) In the event that the sum of all Lenders’ Revolving Exposures exceeds the
Revolving Commitments then in effect, Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately
first, repay or prepay Swingline Loans, second, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings, and
third, replace outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of
Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i), in an
aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(iv) In the event that the aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the LC Commitment then in
effect, Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately replace outstanding Letters of
Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 2.18(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such
excess.
(v) In the event that the sum of all Lenders’ Revolving Exposures exceeds the Borrowing
Base then in effect (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), Borrower
shall, without notice or demand, immediately first, repay or prepay Swingline Loans, second,
repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings, and third, replace outstanding Letters of Credit or
cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 2.18(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(c) Application of Prepayments. Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment
hereunder, Borrower shall select the Class Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify
such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09(d), subject to the
provisions of this Section 2.09(c).
(d)
Notice of Prepayment. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the
case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by written notice of any prepayment
hereunder (i) not later than 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the third Business Day before the
date of prepayment, and (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00
a.m.,
New York
48
City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable. Each
such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation
of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a
notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of
the contents thereof. Such notice to the Lenders may be by electronic communication. Each partial
prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a
Borrowing of the same Class as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully
the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied
ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this
Section 2.09. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required
by Section 2.06.
Section 2.10 [Intentionally Omitted].
Section 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest. If the Administrative Agent, in good faith and in its reasonable discretion, shall determine
that for any reason in connection with any request for a Loan that (a) Dollar deposits are not
being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount of such
Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate with
respect to a proposed Loan, or (c) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any requested Loan or in connection
with a Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan as
a result of events occurring after the Restatement Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly so
notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain
Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall
be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice and during such period Loans based
on the Alternate Base Rate shall be made and continued based on the interest rate determined by the
greater of clauses (a) and (b) in the definition of Alternate Base Rate. Upon receipt of such
notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of Loans (without penalty) or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing based on
the Alternate Base Rate in the amount specified therein.
Section 2.12 Increased Costs; Change in Legality. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against property of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or the
Issuing Bank; or
(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any
Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the
cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if
any, of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise), as determined by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in good faith, in its
reasonable discretion, then Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, such additional amount or
49
amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to any such costs incurred more than 365 days prior to the date on which Borrower
receives a certificate in regard thereto, as provided in subsection (c) below; it being
understood that, to the extent duplicative of the provisions of Section 2.15, this
Section 2.12 shall not apply to Taxes. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall
be available to each Lender and the Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the
invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.
(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (in good faith in its reasonable absolute
discretion) that any Change in Law regarding Capital Requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of
such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit or Swingline Loans held by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank,
to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company,
for any such reduction suffered; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any such costs
incurred more than 365 days prior to the date on which Borrower receives a certificate in regard
thereto, as provided in subsection (c) below.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company,
as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 shall be
delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Bank’s right to demand such compensation, except as otherwise expressly provided in subsection (a)
and (b) above.
(e) If any Lender determines in good faith in its reasonable discretion that any Change in Law
has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed
material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of,
Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through
the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans based on the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate or, if such notice relates to the unlawfulness or asserted unlawfulness of
charging interest based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, to make Loans as to which the interest rate is
determined with reference to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be suspended until such Lender notifies
the Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no
longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, within one Business Day after demand
from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all
Loans based on the Adjusted
50
LIBOR Rate of such Lender to Loans based on the Alternate Base Rate, if
such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans as to which the interest rate is determined
with reference to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing and despite the
illegality for such a Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans as to which the interest rate is
determined with reference to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, that Lender shall remain committed to make
Loans as to which the rate of interest is not determined with reference to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate
and shall be entitled to recover interest at such Alternate Base Rate. Upon any such prepayment or
conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
Section 2.13 [Intentionally Omitted].
Section 2.14
Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other
Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or Reimbursement Obligations, or of amounts
payable hereunder) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan
Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m.,
New York
City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for
purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative
Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 Attn: BioScrip Account
Manager, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly
provided herein and except that payments pursuant to
Sections 2.12,
2.15 and
11.03 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other
Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due
on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan
Document shall be made in Dollars.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest and fees then due
hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and Reimbursement
Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due to such parties.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise
(including by exercise of its rights under the Security Agreement), obtain payment in respect of
any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or
Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate
amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and
accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the
extent necessary so that the benefit of
51
all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of
such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed
to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale
of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any
Company or any Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each
Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable Legal Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation. If under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar law any
Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this
Section 2.14(c) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its
rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured
Party is entitled under this Section 2.14(c) to share in the benefits of the recovery of
such secured claim.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date
on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
Issuing Bank hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance
upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not
in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender or the Issuing Bank 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 the Administrative Agent,
at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.02(c), 2.14(d), 2.17(d), 2.18(d), 2.18(e) or
11.03(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.15 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and free and clear
of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided
that if Borrower shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements to deduct any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and
52
(iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.
(b) In addition, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.
(c) Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank,
within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Borrower
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank (in each case, with a copy delivered concurrently to the
Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or
the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and in any
event within 30 days following any such payment being due, by Borrower to a Governmental Authority,
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If
Borrower fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental
Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other documentary
evidence, Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank for
any incremental Taxes or expenses that may become payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as a result of any such failure.
(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to
which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Foreign Lender shall (i) furnish on or prior to the date it becomes a party hereto, either (a)
two accurate and completed originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or
successor form), (b) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI (or successor form), or (c) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or successor form), together with any required schedules or
attachments, certifying, in each case, to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption
or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all interest payments hereunder, and
(ii) to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, provide a new Form W-8BEN (or successor
form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or Form W-8IMY (or successor form) upon the expiration or
obsolescence of any previously delivered form, or at any other time upon the reasonable request of
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement
to a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with
53
respect to any interest payment hereunder;
provided that any Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code shall also furnish a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form of Exhibit K if it is
furnishing a Form W-8BEN. If requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Foreign
Lender shall (and shall cause other Persons acting on its behalf to) take any action (including
entering into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service) and comply with any information
gathering and reporting requirements, in each case, that are required to obtain the maximum
available exemption from U.S. federal withholding taxes under Title I of the Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act of 2009 (the “Proposed Act”), if enacted, or under any other enacted legislation
that is substantially
similar to Title I of the Proposed Act, with respect to payments received by or on behalf of
such Foreign Lender, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, a Foreign Lender’s breach of this
sentence shall affect the rights only of the breaching Foreign Lender, and not the rights of any
other Foreign Lender, under Section 2.15(a).
(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or an assignee) determines in its reasonable
discretion that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant
to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.15
with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or the Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund); provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is
required to repay all or a portion of such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority, Borrower,
upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee), shall repay the amount
paid over to Borrower that is required to be repaid (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or
assignee) within a reasonable time (not to exceed 20 days) after receipt of written notice that the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay such refund (or a portion
thereof) to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this Section 2.15(f) shall
require the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) to make available its Tax Returns or
any other information which it deems confidential to Borrower or any other person. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) be
required to pay any amount to Borrower the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or
such Lender (or assignee) in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Administrative Agent
or such Lender (or assignee) would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such
refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid.
Section 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12(a) or
(b), or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce materially amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(a), 2.12(b), or 2.15, as
the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense, (iii) would not require such Lender to take any action materially inconsistent with its
internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions, and (iv) would not otherwise be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting
54
forth such
costs and expenses in reasonable detail submitted by such Lender to the Administrative Agent shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. In the event (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers
a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b), (ii) any
Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.12(e), (iii) Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental
Authority on account of any Lender or
the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.15, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any
amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by Borrower that requires
the consent of 100% of the Lenders and the Required Lenders have granted consent, or (v) any Lender
or the Issuing Bank defaults in its obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit, as the
case may be, or other extensions of credit hereunder, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort
(including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section
11.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, require
such Lender or the Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an assignee which shall assume such assigned obligations (which
assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) no Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any applicable
Legal Requirement, (y) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the prior written consent of the Issuing
Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and
(z) Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the Issuing Bank in
immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest and any
prepayment premium or penalty (if any) accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans
or LC Disbursements of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, respectively, affected by such assignment
plus all Fees and other amounts owing to or accrued for the account of such Lender or such Issuing
Bank hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.12); provided further that, if prior
to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or
the Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) or notice
under Section 2.12(e) or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.15, as the case may
be, cease to cause such Lender or the Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in
amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences
specified in Section 2.12(e), or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section
2.15, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or the
Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.16), or if such Lender or the
Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.12(a) or
(b) in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under
Section 2.12(e) or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.15 in
respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent
or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall not
thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender and the
Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, on
behalf of such Lender and the Issuing Bank as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to
effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s interests hereunder in the
circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.16(b).
(c) Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in
the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (i) during any Default Period (as
defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not
to be a “Lender”, and the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Revolving
Loans shall
55
be excluded for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on any matters
(including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents; (ii)
to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, until such time as the Default Excess (as
defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (A) any
voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall, if Borrower so directs
at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders in
accordance with Section 2.09(a) as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding and
the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were
zero, and (B) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.09 shall, if
Borrower so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Loans of
other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) in accordance with Section
2.09 as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting
Lender, it being understood and agreed that borrower shall be entitled to retain any portion of any
mandatory prepayment of the Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of
the operation of the provisions of this clause (B); (iii) the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s
Revolving Commitment, Revolving Loans and LC Exposure shall be excluded for purposes of calculating
the commitment fee payable to Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05(a) in respect of
any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting
Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.05(a) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment in respect of any Default Period with
respect to such Defaulting Lender; (iv) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time
a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: (A) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC
Exposure shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in
accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments but, in any case, only to the extent (x)
the sum of the Revolving Exposures of all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders does
not exceed the total of the Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting
Lenders and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; (B) if the
reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower
shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) prepay such
Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender and (y) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is
outstanding; (C) if Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure pursuant to this paragraph (iv), Borrower shall not be required to pay any LC
Participation Fee to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash
collateralized; (D) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to
this paragraph (iv), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05 shall be
adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ reallocated LC Exposure; and (E) if any
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this
paragraph (iv), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any
Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting
Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized
by such LC Exposure) and LC Participation Fee payable under Section 2.05 with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Banks until such LC
Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; (v) the Revolving Exposure of all Lenders as at
any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted
Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender; and (vi) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender,
the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be
required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related
exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash
collateral will be provided by Borrower in accordance with
56
paragraph (iv) of this Section 2.16(c),
and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made
Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with
paragraph (iv)(A) of this Section 2.16(c) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).
In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, Borrower, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline
Lender agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender
to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure and Revolving Exposure of the
Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and
on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other
than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for
such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment.
For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Funding Default” means, with respect to any Defaulting
Lender, the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the definition of “Defaulting Lender,”
(ii) “Default Period” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the period commencing on the
date of the applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates: (a) the
date on which all Commitments are cancelled or terminated and/or the Obligations are declared or
become immediately due and payable, (b) with respect any Funding Default (other than any such
Funding Default arising pursuant to clause (e) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”), the date
on which (1) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to
zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of all payments resulting in such Funding
Default of such Defaulting Lender or by the non-pro rata application of any voluntary or mandatory
prepayments of the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof or any combination thereof) and (2)
such Defaulting Lender shall have delivered to Borrower and the Administrative Agent a written
reaffirmation of its intention to honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its
Commitment(s), and (c) the date on which Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required
Lenders waive all Funding Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing, and (iii) “Default
Excess” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting
Lender’s pro rata percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans of all Lenders
(calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders (including such Defaulting Lender) had funded all of their
respective payments which resulted in such Lender being a Defaulting Lender) over the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Loans of such Defaulting Lender.
No amount of the Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and,
except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.16(c), performance by Borrower of its
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise
modified, as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of Section 2.16(c). The
rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under Section 2.16(c) are in addition to
other rights and remedies that Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any
Funding Default and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting
Lender with respect to any Funding Default.
Section 2.17 Swingline Loans. (a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day
during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding
that will not result in (and upon each such Borrowing of Swingline Loans, Borrower shall be deemed
to represent and warrant that such Borrowing will not result in) (i) the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Commitment, (ii) the sum of the total
Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments or (iii) the Revolving Exposure for
all Lenders exceeding the Borrowing Base; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required
to make a Swingline Loan to refinance, in whole or in part, an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within
the
57
foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may borrow,
repay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b)
Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, Borrower shall deliver, by hand
delivery or facsimile transmission (or transmit by other electronic transmission if arrangements
for doing so have been approved in writing by the Administrative Agent), a duly completed and
executed
Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, not later than 10:00
a.m.,
New York City time, on the Business Day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall
be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount
of the requested Swingline Loan. Each Swingline Loan shall accrue interest based on the Adjusted
LIBOR Rate. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to Borrower by means of
a credit to the Borrower Account by the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made
to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.18(e), by
remittance to the Issuing Bank). The Swingline Lender shall endeavor to fund each Swingline Loan
by 3:00 p.m., New York City time and shall in all events fund each Swingline Loan by no later than
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. Borrower shall not
request a Swingline Loan if at the time of or immediately after giving effect to the Credit
Extension contemplated by such request a Default has occurred and is continuing or would result
therefrom. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $100,000 and integral multiples of
$50,000 above such amount.
(c) Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to
repay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written notice to the Swingline Lender
and the Administrative Agent before 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of
repayment; provided that Borrower shall repay each Swingline Loan (whether through proceeds of a
Revolving Loan or otherwise) on or prior to the fifth Business Day following the initial advance of
the Swingline Lender with respect thereto.
(d) Participations. The Swingline Lender (i) may at any time in its discretion, and
(ii) no less frequently than every five Business Days or as directed by the Administrative Agent
from time to time on not less than one Business Day’s written notice to the Swingline Lender, shall
by written notice given to the Administrative Agent (provided such notice requirements shall not
apply if the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent are the same entity) not later than
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day following such notice require
the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the
Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline
Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice
such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of
such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance
of a Default, a reduction or termination of the Commitments or a Borrowing Base Deficiency, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever (so long as such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment). Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this
paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Section
58
2.02 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from
the Revolving Lenders; provided, that the Revolving Lender who is the Swingline Lender shall be
deemed to have funded its Pro Rata Percentage automatically without further funding. The
Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired by
the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such
Swingline Loan shall be made to the
Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline
Lender from Borrower (or other party on behalf of Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after
receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be
promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent. Any such amounts received by the Administrative
Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall
have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph, as their interests may appear. The purchase
of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve Borrower of any
default in the payment thereof.
(e) Resignation or Removal of the Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender may resign
as Swingline Lender hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Borrower, provided that such Swingline Lender is replaced by
a successor Swingline Lender simultaneously with its resignation. Following such notice of
resignation from the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written
agreement among Borrower (with Borrower’s agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline
Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline
Lender. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, Borrower shall pay
all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender. From and after the
effective date of any such resignation or replacement, (i) the successor Swingline Lender shall
have all the rights and obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to
Swingline Loans to be made by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan
Documents to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any
previous Swingline Lenders, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context
shall require. After the resignation or replacement of the Swingline Lender hereunder, the
replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it
prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline
Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(e) or otherwise, the
Swingline Lender may not resign until such time as a successor Swingline Lender has been appointed.
Section 2.18 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may
request the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees to cause an Issuing Bank to
issue Letters of Credit for its own account or the account of a Subsidiary in a form reasonably
acceptable to Borrower (with Borrower’s agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time
during the Revolving Availability Period (provided that Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and be
jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a
Subsidiary). The Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, and Borrower shall not request
the issuance of, any Letter of Credit at any time if after giving effect to such issuance, (w) the
LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment, (x) the total Revolving Exposure would exceed the total
Revolving Commitments, (y) the Revolving Exposure for all Lenders would then exceed the Borrowing
Base, or (z) the expiry date of the proposed Letter of Credit is on or after than the close of
business on the Letter of Credit
59
Expiration Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by Borrower to, or entered into by Borrower with, the
Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
control.
(b) Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding
Letter of Credit, Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile transmission (or transmit by electronic
communication if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) an LC Request to
the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or
such later date and time as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank).
A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:
(i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day);
(ii) the face amount thereof;
(iii) the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date);
(iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;
(v) whether the Letter of Credit is to be issued for its own account or for the account
of one of its Subsidiaries (provided that Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and be jointly
and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a
Subsidiary);
(vi) whether the Letter of Credit is to be issued as a Standby Letter of Credit or a
Commercial Letter of Credit;
(vii) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing
thereunder;
(viii) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in
connection with any drawing thereunder; and
(ix) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require.
A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall
specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:
(i) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended;
(ii) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a
Business Day);
60
(iii) the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date);
(iv) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension; and
(v) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require.
If requested by the Issuing Bank, Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the
Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of
Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and, upon issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant
that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure
shall not exceed the LC Commitment, (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total
Revolving Commitments and (iii) the conditions set forth in Article IV in respect of such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension shall have been satisfied. Unless the Issuing Bank shall
agree otherwise, no Letter of Credit shall be in an initial amount less than $100,000.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such
Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal
or extension) and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that this paragraph (c) shall
not prevent any Issuing Bank from agreeing that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended
for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each (and, in any case, not to extend
beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date) unless each such Issuing Bank elects not to extend for
any such additional period.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably grants to each Revolving Lender,
and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of
Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC
Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in
Section 2.18(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrower for
any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
reduction or termination of the Commitments or a Borrowing Base Deficiency and that each such
payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (so long
as such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment).
(e) Reimbursement. (i) If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect
of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Issuing Bank
an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day immediately following the date that such LC Disbursement is made if Borrower shall
have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date,
or, if
61
such notice has not been received by Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not
later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately following the day
that Borrower receives such notice; provided that Borrower may, subject to the conditions to
borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be
financed with Revolving Loans in
an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, Borrower’s obligation to make such
payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loans.
(ii) If Borrower fails to make such payment when due, and if the amount is not financed
pursuant to the proviso to Section 2.18(e), the Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative
Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC
Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving
Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Lender shall pay by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York
City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received such notice later
than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s
Pro Rata Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.02(c) with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender, and the
Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it
from the Revolving Lenders; provided, that if the Issuing Bank is also a Revolving Lender,
such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have funded its Pro Rata Percentage automatically
without further funding. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any
amounts received by it from Borrower pursuant to the above paragraph prior to the time that
any Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such
amounts received by the Administrative Agent from Borrower thereafter will be promptly
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made such
payments and to the Issuing Bank, as appropriate.
(iii) If any Revolving Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such LC
Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, each of Borrower and
such Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and
including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to
but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of Borrower, the Default Rate and (ii) in the case of
such Lender, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank
compensation.
(f) Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligation of Borrower as provided in
Section 2.18(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit
or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any draft or other document presented
under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by the
Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails
to strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this Section 2.18, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
62
provide a right of
setoff against, the obligations of Borrower hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default shall have
occurred and be continuing; (vi) any material adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise), results of operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), material
agreements, properties, solvency, business, management, prospects or value of any Company; or (vii)
any other fact,
circumstance or event whatsoever. None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or any of
their Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the
issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment
thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any
error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or
other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to
make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence
arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not
be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct
damages (as opposed to consequential, special, punitive or other indirect damages, claims in
respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements) suffered by Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care
when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with
the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.
In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree
that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and
make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of
such Letter of Credit.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent and
Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC
Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not
relieve Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation to the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with
respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such Reimbursement
Obligation set forth in Section 2.18(e)).
(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is
made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day from and
including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Borrower reimburses
such LC Disbursement, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for a period of three
calendar days from the date of such LC Disbursement, and at the Default Rate thereafter. Interest
accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that
interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section
2.18(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of
such payment.
(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on
the Business Day that Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure
representing
63
greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, Borrower shall deposit in the LC Sub-Account, in the name of the
Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 105% of
the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the
obligation to deposit such cash
collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due
and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default with respect to Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) of Section 8.01. Funds
in the LC Sub-Account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC
Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held
for the satisfaction of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or, if the maturity of the Loans has
been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing
greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of Borrower in
accordance with Article IX. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount plus any
accrued interest or realized profits with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within five Business Days after all Events of Default have
been cured or waived.
(j) Additional Issuing Banks. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time
to time, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an Issuing Bank under the
terms of this Agreement, with the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Any Revolving Lender designated as an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph (j) shall
be deemed (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) to be the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters
of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Lender, and all references herein and in the
other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be
deemed to refer to such Revolving Lender in its capacity as Issuing Bank, as the context shall
require.
(k) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign as
Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and Borrower. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written
agreement among Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor
Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the
Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement
shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(d). From and after the effective date of any such
resignation or replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank
shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan
Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or
to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such addition and all previous Issuing Banks,
as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder,
the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it
prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, Borrower may, in its
discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.
(l) Other. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to arrange for an
Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit if:
64
(i) any Order of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to
enjoin or restrain the Administrative Agent from arranging, or Issuing Bank from issuing,
such Letter of Credit, or any Legal Requirement applicable to the Issuing Bank or any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the
Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of
Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not
otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Date, or shall impose upon
the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the
Restatement Date and which the Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or
(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of
general application of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank.
The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Issuing Bank
would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the
terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed
amendment to such Letter of Credit.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders (with references to the Companies being references thereto

Section 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each Company (a) is duly incorporated or organized and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be, (b) has all requisite power
and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and to own, lease and operate its property
and (c) is registered, qualified and in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in
the applicable jurisdiction) to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is
required, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to so register, qualify or be in good
standing could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no
existing default under any Organizational Document of any Company or any event which, with the
giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a default by any party thereunder.
Section 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions entered into by each Loan Party were, and the Restatement Transactions entered
into by each Loan Party are, within such Loan Party’s powers and have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate or other organizational action on the part of such Loan Party. This Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan
Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party,
will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity,
regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
Section 3.03 No Conflicts. The Transactions and Restatement Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of,
registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental
65
Authority, except (i) such as
have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) filings necessary to perfect or
maintain the perfection or priority of the Liens created by the Security Documents and (iii)
consents, approvals, registrations, filings, Permits or actions the failure of which to obtain or
perform could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not
violate the Organizational Documents of any Company, (c) will not violate or result in a default or
require any consent or approval under (x) any indenture, agreement, or other instrument binding
upon any Company or its property or to which any Company or its property is subject, or give rise
to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Company, except for violations,
defaults or the creation of such rights that could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect or (y) any Organizational Document, (d) will not violate any material Legal
Requirement in any material respect and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien on any property of any Company, other than the Liens created by the Security Documents.
Section 3.04 Financial Statements; Projections. (a) All financial statements and all financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections
5.01(a), (b) and (c) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied throughout the applicable period covered, respectively, thereby and present fairly the
financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of Borrower as of the dates and for
the periods to which they relate (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of
footnotes). Except as set forth in such financial statements, there are no liabilities of any
Company of any kind, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise,
which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and there is no existing
condition, situation or set of circumstances which could reasonably be expected to result in such a
liability.
(b) Borrower heretofore has delivered to the Lenders the consolidated balance sheets and
related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Borrower as of and for the
fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010. Such financial
statements (A) have been prepared in good faith by the Loan Parties, based upon (i) accounting
principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements delivered pursuant to this
Section 3.04(b) and (ii) the best information reasonably available to, or in the possession
or control of, the Loan Parties as of the date of delivery thereof, (B) have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes)
consistently applied throughout the applicable period covered, respectively, thereby, and (C)
present fairly the consolidated financial position and results of operations of Borrower as of such
dates and for such periods.
(c) Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders the forecasts of financial performance of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries dated December 28, 2010 (the “Projections”). The Projections have
been prepared in good faith by the Loan Parties and based upon (i) the assumptions stated therein
(which assumptions are believed by the Loan Parties on the date hereof and the Closing Date to be
reasonable), (ii) accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements
delivered pursuant to Section 3.04(a) consistently applied throughout the fiscal years covered
thereby, and (iii) the best information reasonably available to, or in the possession or control
of, the Loan Parties as of the dates of the Projections.
(d) Since September 30, 2009, there has been no event, change, circumstance or occurrence that
has had or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.05 Properties. (a) Each Company has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its property material
to its business, free and clear of all Liens and irregularities, deficiencies and
66
defects in title
except for Permitted Liens and minor irregularities, deficiencies
and defects in title that do not,
and could not reasonably be expected to, interfere in any material respect with its ability to
conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such property for its intended purpose.
The property of the Companies, taken as a whole, (i) is in good operating order, condition and
repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and (ii) constitutes all the property which is required
for the business and operations of the Companies as presently conducted.
(b) Schedule 3.05(b) contains a true and complete list of each ownership and leasehold
interest in Real Property (including all modifications, amendments and supplements thereto with
respect to leased Real Property) (i) owned by any Company as of the Restatement Date and describes
the use and type of interest therein held by such Company and (ii) leased, subleased or otherwise
occupied or utilized by any Company, as lessee, sublessee, franchisee or licensee, as of the
Restatement Date and describes the use and type of interest therein held by such Company; and
accurately and comprehensively designates which, among such properties, constitute Key Locations as
of the Restatement Date. No Company is in default under any provision of any lease agreement to
which it is a party with respect to a leasehold interest in Real Property, where such default could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) No Company has received any notice of, nor has any knowledge of, the occurrence or
pendency or contemplation of any Casualty Event affecting all or any portion of any Key Location
where such Casualty Event could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No
Mortgage encumbers improved Real Property that is located in an area that has been identified by
the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards within the
meaning of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 unless flood insurance available under such Act
has been obtained in accordance with Section 5.04.
(d) Each Company owns or has rights to use all of its property and all rights with respect to
any of the foregoing used in, necessary for or material to each Company’s business as currently
conducted. The use by each Company of its property and all such rights with respect to the
foregoing do not infringe on the rights of any person, other than any infringement that could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been made and remains
outstanding that any Company’s use of any of its property does or may violate the rights of any
third party that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Key
Location is zoned to permit the uses for which such Key Location is currently being used. The
present uses of each Key Location and the current operations of each Company’s business do not
violate in any material respect any provision of any applicable building codes, subdivision
regulations, fire regulations, health regulations or building and zoning bylaws.
Section 3.06 Intellectual Property. (a) Ownership; No Claims; Use of Intellectual Property; Protection of Trade Secrets.
Each Company owns or is licensed to use, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens),
all patents and patent
applications; trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights, domain names and applications for
registration thereof; and technology, trade secrets, proprietary information, inventions, know-how
and processes necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual
Property”), except for those the failure to own or license which could not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any
person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or
effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does any Company know of any valid basis for
any such claim. The use of such Intellectual Property by each Company does not
67
infringe the rights
of any person, except for such claims and infringements which could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except pursuant to licenses and other user agreements entered
into by each Company in the ordinary course of business which, in the case of licenses and user
agreements in existence on the date hereof, are listed in Schedule 3.06(a), no Company has
done anything to authorize or enable any other person to use any such Intellectual Property, which
use, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Each Company has taken commercially reasonable measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all trade secrets used in such Company’s business, to the extent that
the loss thereof, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(b) Patents; Registrations. (i) On and as of the Restatement Date, each Company owns
and possesses the right to use all issued patents and pending patent applications, trademark,
service xxxx and domain name registrations and pending applications, and copyright registrations
and pending applications listed in Schedules 14(a), 14(b) and 14(c) to the
Perfection Certificate, and (ii) all patents and registered trademarks, service marks, copyrights
and domain names owned by each Company are valid, subsisting and in full force and effect;
excepting therefrom, in each case, the failure of which to comply herewith, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) No Violations or Proceedings. (i) There is no violation by others of any right of
any Company with respect to any Intellectual Property, other than such violations, individually or
in the aggregate, that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) no
Company is materially infringing upon or misappropriating any copyright, patent, trademark, trade
secret or other intellectual property right of any other person, (iii) no Company is in breach of,
or in default under, any license of Intellectual Property by any other person to such Company,
except in any case where such breach or default, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) no proceedings have been
instituted or are pending against any Company or threatened, and no claim against any Company has
been received by any Company, alleging any such infringement or misappropriation, except to the
extent that such proceedings or claims, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) No Impairment. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, will alter, impair or otherwise affect or require the consent of any other person in
respect of any right of any Company in any Intellectual Property, except to the extent that such
alteration, impairment, effect or consent could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
(e) No Agreement or Order Materially Affecting Intellectual Property. Except as set
forth on Schedule 3.06(e), no Company is subject to any settlement, covenant not to xxx or
other
agreement, or any outstanding Order, which may materially affect the validity or
enforceability or restrict in any manner such Company’s use, licensing or transfer of any of the
Intellectual Property.
Section 3.07 Equity Interests and Subsidiaries. (a) Schedule 3.07(a) sets forth a list of (i) each Subsidiary of Borrower and its
jurisdiction of incorporation or organization as of the Restatement Date, (ii) each Subsidiary as
of the Restatement Date, and (iii) the number of each class of its Equity Interests authorized, and
the number outstanding, on the Restatement Date and the number
68
of shares covered by all outstanding
options, warrants, rights of conversion or purchase and similar rights on the Restatement Date.
All Equity Interests of each Company are duly and validly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable, and all Equity Interests of the Subsidiaries are owned by Borrower directly or
indirectly through Wholly Owned Subsidiaries. Each Loan Party is the record and beneficial owner
of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests pledged by it under the Security
Documents, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other persons, except the security
interest created by the Security Documents and any Permitted Liens that arise by operation of
applicable Legal Requirements and are not voluntarily granted, and, as of the Restatement Date,
there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting
trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or
that requires the issuance or sale of, any such Equity Interests, except as may be set forth on
Schedule 3.07(a).
(b) No consent of any person including any general or limited partner, any other member or
manager of a limited liability company, any shareholder or any other trust beneficiary is necessary
or reasonably desirable (from the perspective of a secured party) in connection with the creation,
perfection or first priority status (or the maintenance thereof) of the security interest of the
Collateral Agent in any Equity Interests pledged to the Collateral Agent under the Security
Documents or the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Lender of the voting or other rights
provided for in the Security Documents or the exercise of remedies in respect of such Equity
Interests.
(c) A complete and accurate organization chart, showing the ownership structure of the
Companies on the Restatement Date, both before and after giving effect to the Transactions and
Restatement Transactions, is set forth on Schedule 3.07(c).
Section 3.08 Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (a) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party,
investigations at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the
knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting any Company or any business, property
or rights of any Company (i) that involve any Loan Document or any of the Transactions or
Restatement Transactions, or (ii) that have resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result
in, a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Except for matters covered by Section 3.18, no Company or any of its property is
(i) in violation of, nor will the continued operation of its property as currently conducted
violate, any Legal Requirements (including any zoning or building ordinance, code or approval or

constitutional restriction, or any restriction under its Organizational Documents, that has
resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) No Company is in default in any manner under any provision of any Material Agreement
evidencing Indebtedness, or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it
or any of its property is or may be bound or subject, where such default could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and no condition exists which, with the giving of
notice or the lapse of time or both could reasonably be expected to constitute such a default.
69
(c) No Company is in default of, lost or has had terminated any Material Agreement.
Schedule 3.09(c) accurately and completely lists all Material Agreements (other than leases
of Real Property set forth on Schedule 3.05(b)) to which any Company is a party which were
in effect on the Restatement Date in connection with the operation of the business conducted
thereby and Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (or made available to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for review on or before the date hereof) complete and correct
copies of all such Material Agreements, including any amendments, supplements or modifications with
respect thereto, and all such Material Agreements are in full force and effect.

foreign Tax Returns required to have been filed by it and all such Tax Returns are true and correct
in all material respects and (b) duly and timely paid or caused to be duly and timely paid all
Taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) due and payable by it and all assessments received

Section 3.14 No Material Misstatements. No information, report, financial statement, certificate (including the Perfection Certificate),
Borrowing Request, LC Request, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of any Company to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or
included therein or delivered pursuant thereto (including the Confidential Information Memorandum),
taken as a whole, contained or contains any material misstatement of fact or omitted or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were or are made, not misleading as of the date such information is dated or
certified; provided that to the extent any such information, report, financial statement, exhibit
or schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, each Loan Party represents and
warrants only that on the date of delivery thereof such forecast or projection was prepared in good
faith based upon (i) the assumptions stated therein (which assumptions are believed by the Loan
Parties on the date delivered to the Administrative Agent or a Lender to be reasonable), (ii)
accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements of Borrower, and
(iii) the best information reasonably available to, or in the possession or control of, the Loan
Parties as of the date of delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent or a Lender.
Section 3.15 Labor Matters. There are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Company pending or, to the knowledge of
the Loan Parties, threatened that have resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a
Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Company have
not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable
Legal Requirement dealing with such matters in any manner that has resulted in, or could reasonably
be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any Company, or for
which any claim may be made against any Company, on account of wages and employee health and
welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such
Company except to the extent that the failure to do so has not resulted in, and could not
reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the
Transactions and Restatement Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right
of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any
Company is bound.
Section 3.16 Solvency. Both immediately before and immediately after the consummation of the Restatement Transactions
to occur on the Restatement Date and immediately following the making of each Credit Extension and
after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Credit Extension, (a) the fair value
of the properties of each Loan Party will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party
will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts
and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities
become absolute and matured, (c) each Loan Party generally will be able to pay its debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute
and matured, and (d) each Loan Party will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct
its business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed, contemplated
or about to be conducted following the Restatement Date.
Section 3.17 Employee Benefit Plans. (a) The Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates are in material compliance with all applicable
Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations
and published interpretations thereunder, with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans. Each
Employee Benefit Plan complies in all material respects, and is operated and maintained in
compliance in all material respects, with all applicable Legal Requirements, including
71
all material
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations
thereunder. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the
Code has received a favorable determination from the Internal Revenue Service and nothing has
occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification.
(b) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. No Pension Plan has any
Unfunded Pension Liability. Within the last six years, no Pension Plan has been terminated,
whether or not in a “standard termination” as that term is used in Section 4041 of ERISA, nor has
any Pension Plan (determined at any time within the last six years) with an Unfunded Pension
Liability been transferred outside of the “controlled group” (within the meaning of Section
4001(a)(14) of ERISA) of any Company or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. Using actuarial
assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA,
the aggregate liabilities of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans
in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of
each such Multiemployer Plan, have not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result
in, a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Code, no Employee Benefit Plan
provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any
retired or former employee of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates.
Section 3.18 Environmental Matters. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:

circumstances, conditions, events or incidents that are reasonably likely to form the basis
of such an Environmental Claim;

Companies relating to compliance with or liability under Environmental Law is in default

to CERCLA or (ii) listed on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Information System promulgated pursuant to CERCLA or (iii) included on any similar
list maintained by any Governmental Authority that indicates that any Company has or may
have an obligation to undertake investigatory or remediation obligations under applicable
Environmental Laws;
(viii) no Lien has been recorded or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened
under any Environmental Law with respect to any Real Property or property of the Companies;
(ix) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the consummation of the Transactions, the Restatement Transactions and the
other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not require any
notification, registration, filing, reporting, disclosure, investigation, remediation
or cleanup obligations pursuant to any Governmental Real Property Disclosure Requirements or
any other Environmental Law; and
(x) the Companies have made available to the Lenders all material records and files in
the possession, custody or control of, or otherwise reasonably available to, the Companies
concerning compliance with or liability or obligation under Environmental Law, including

at Real Property or facilities currently or formerly owned, operated, leased or used by any
of the Companies.

except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no party to a Program
Agreement or Third-Party Payor Contract or other government regulatory authority has threatened in
writing revocation, suspension, termination, probation, restriction, limitation or nonrenewal
affecting any Program Agreement or Third-Party Payor Contract.

Material Adverse Effect, each Company holds all Health Care Permits necessary or required by
applicable Legal Requirement or Governmental Authority for the operation of the business of such
Company. Schedule 3.19(b) sets forth all such Health Care Permits held by each Company as
of the Restatement Date (individually, a “Company Health Care Permit,” and collectively, the
“Company Health Care Permits”). Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened suits or
proceedings that could reasonably be expected to result in the suspension, revocation, restriction,
amendment or nonrenewal of any Company Health Care Permit, and no event which (whether with notice
or lapse of time or both) could reasonably be expected to result in a suspension, revocation,
restriction, amendment or nonrenewal of any Company Health Care Permit has occurred. Except as
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Company is in compliance
with the terms of the Company Health Care Permits.
(c) Accreditations. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material

Requirements or Governmental Authority for the operation of the business of such Company (including
accreditation by the appropriate Governmental Authorities and industry accreditation agencies and

restriction, amendment or nonrenewal of any Company Accreditation has occurred. Except as could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Company is in compliance with
the terms of the Company Accreditations.
(d) Reimbursement Approvals. Except as could not be expected to have a Material

nonrenewal of any Company Reimbursement Approvals, and no event which (whether with notice or lapse
of time or both) could reasonably be expected to result in a suspension, revocation, restriction,
amendment or nonrenewal of any Company Reimbursement Approval has occurred. Except as could not

or other applicable Legal Requirement, including health, pharmacy, laboratory, drug enforcement,
Medicaid and Medicare regulatory authorities (“Company Regulatory Filings”), and has timely paid
all amounts, Taxes, fees and assessments due and payable in connection therewith, except where the
failure to make such filings or payments on a timely basis could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. All such Company Regulatory Filings complied in all material respects
with applicable Legal Requirements.
(f) Surveys, Audits and Investigations. Schedule 3.19(f) sets forth a list of
all notices received during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, of material noncompliance,
requests for material remedial action, investigations, return of overpayment or imposition of fines
(whether ultimately paid or otherwise resolved) by any Governmental Authority or pursuant to any
Company Health Care Permit, Company Accreditation or Company Reimbursement Approval (the “Health
Care Audits”), other than ordinary course overpayments and/or notices advising of routine payor
audits. For purposes this Section 3.19(f), a routine payor audit is considered to be an
audit that requests records for identified patients during a limited period of time, but does not
include an audit that identifies any specific area of review. Each Company has prepared and
submitted timely all corrective action plans or responses required to be prepared and submitted in
response to any Health Care Audits and has implemented all of the corrective actions described in
such corrective action plans, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. No Company has any (A) uncured deficiency that could lead to the
imposition of a remedy or (B) existing accrued and/or
75
unpaid indebtedness to any Governmental
Authority or pursuant to any Company Reimbursement Approval, including Medicare or Medicaid,

Loan Parties, any director, officer, manager, member or partner of any Company (in such capacity,
but not otherwise) is party to a corporate integrity agreement, consent order, consent decree,

any Company Health Care Permit, Company Accreditation or Company Reimbursement Approval. No
Company nor, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, any director, officer, manager, member, partner,

has been excluded from participating in state or federal health care programs, including Medicare
and Medicaid, or debarred from contracting with Governmental Authorities.
(i) Transaction Documents. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents,
and each Company’s performance thereunder (including the performance of the pre- and post- closing
notices and applications as provided in the Transaction Documents) will not (i) result in the
loss of or limitation of any Company Health Care Permits, Company Accreditations or Company
Reimbursement Approvals or (ii) reduce receipt of the ongoing payments or reimbursements pursuant
to the Company Reimbursement Approvals that the Company is receiving as of the date hereof.

liabilities as are customary for companies of a similar size engaged in similar businesses in
similar locations.
Section 3.21 Security Documents. (a) The Security Agreement (as in effect immediately prior to the Restatement Date) was

thereof, subject only to Permitted Liens, and when the Mortgages are filed or recorded in

specified in the local counsel opinion delivered with respect thereto in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 5.11 and 5.12, the Mortgages shall constitute fully
perfected first priority Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the
Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior
in right to any other person, other than Permitted Liens.
(d) Each Security Document delivered pursuant to Sections 5.11 and 5.12 will,
upon execution and delivery thereof, be effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for

obligors and not as a sureties to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns,

prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest
(including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the
Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of
the United States Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of,
Borrower, and all other Obligations from time to time
owing to the Secured Parties by any Loan Party under any Loan Document in each case strictly in
accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the
“Guaranteed Obligations”). The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if
Borrower or other Subsidiary Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will
promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be
promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in
accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
Section 7.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 7.01 shall constitute a
guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Legal Requirements, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several,
irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed
Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred
to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or
security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance
whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or
Subsidiary Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or
impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute,
irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:
110
(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be
extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes,
if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or
omitted;
(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of
the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan
Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be
amended or waived in any respect (including in each case, without limitation, the amendment
and restatement of this Agreement as of the Restatement Date) or any other guarantee of any
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in
whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or
(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as
security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be valid, perfected or to have
the priority required under the Loan Documents.
The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment,
protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right,
power or remedy or proceed against Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement or the
Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any
other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The
Subsidiary
Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination
or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, the amendment and
restatement of this Agreement as of the Restatement Date) and notice of or proof of reliance by any
Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations,
and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in
reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between Borrower and the Secured Parties shall
likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee.
This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional
guarantee of payment and performance without regard to any right of offset with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties, and the
obligations and liabilities of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or
contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or
remedy against Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all
or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor
or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and
be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Subsidiary Guarantors and
their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and
their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of
this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.
Section 7.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article VII shall be automatically
reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Borrower or
other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be
111
otherwise
restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings
in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.
Section 7.04 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in
full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of
the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or
remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in
Section 7.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Borrower or any other Subsidiary
Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 6.04(f)
shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany
Note evidencing such Indebtedness.
Section 7.05 Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors
and the Lenders, the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and other Loan Documents may be
declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VIII (and shall be deemed
to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VIII)
for purposes of Section 7.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as
against Borrower (but not such Subsidiary Guarantor) and that, in the event of such declaration (or
such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations
(whether or not due and payable by
Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of
Section 7.01.
Section 7.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article VII
constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or
Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of
any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section
3213.
Section 7.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VII is a continuing guarantee of payment and performance,
and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
Section 7.08 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited
liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other Legal Requirement affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the
obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 7.01 would otherwise be held or
determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any
other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 7.01, then,
notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without
any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other person, be
automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable, not void or
voidable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or
proceeding.
Section 7.09 [Intentionally Omitted].
Section 7.10 Right of Contribution. (a) The Loan Parties hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Loan Party shall make an
Excess Payment (as defined below), such Loan Party shall have a right of contribution from each
other Loan Party in an amount equal to such other Loan Party’s
112
Contribution Share (as defined
below) of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Loan Party under this Section
7.10 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as
the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and all Commitments have terminated or expired, and
none of the Loan Parties shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section 7.10 against
any other Loan Party until such time as all Obligations have been performed and paid in full in
cash and all Commitments have been terminated. For purposes of this Section 7.10, (a)
“Excess Payment” shall mean the amount paid by any Loan Party in excess of its Pro Rata Share of
any Obligations; (b) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, for any Loan Party in respect of any payment of
the Obligations, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of
Obligations of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its
assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Loan Party (including
contingent, subordinated, un-matured, and un-liquidated liabilities, but excluding the Obligations
of such Loan Party) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of its
assets and
other properties of all Loan Parties exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities
(including contingent, subordinated, un-matured, and un-liquidated liabilities, but excluding the
Obligations of all Loan Parties) of the Loan Parties; and (c) “Contribution Share” shall mean, for
any Loan Party in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Loan Party, the ratio (expressed
as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate
present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and
liabilities of such Loan Party (including contingent, subordinated, un-matured, and un-liquidated
liabilities, but excluding the Obligations of such Loan Party) to (ii) the amount by which the
aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Loan Parties other
than the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities
(including contingent, subordinated, un-matured, and un-liquidated liabilities, but excluding the
Obligations of the Loan Parties) of the Loan Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment.
Nothing in this Section 7.10 shall require any Loan Party to pay its Contribution Share of
any Excess Payment in the absence of a demand therefor by the Loan Party that has made the Excess
Payment. Without limiting the foregoing in any manner, it is the intent of the parties hereto that
as of any date of determination, no Contribution Amount of any Loan Party shall be greater than the
maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Loan Party under this
Section 7.10 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act,
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.
(b) This Section 7.10 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Loan
Parties and nothing set forth in this Section 7.10 is intended to or shall impair the
obligations of the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts and perform any
obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable or required to be performed in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Nothing contained in this
Section 7.10 shall limit the liability of Borrower to pay the Loans and other Credit
Extensions made to Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect thereto for which
Borrower shall be primarily liable.
(c) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification
hereunder shall constitute assets of the Loan Parties to which such contribution and
indemnification is owing.
(d) The rights of any indemnified Loan Party against the other Loan Parties under this
Section 7.10 shall be exercisable upon, but shall not be exercisable prior to, the full and
indefeasible payment of the Obligations and termination or expiration of the Commitments under the
Loan Documents.

Agent shall within two Business Days of receiving a request of the applicable Loan Party for
release of cash proceeds with respect to the LC Sub-Account, remit such cash proceeds on deposit in

under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent,
in such capacity, through its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan

Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

Section 10.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that
such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 11.02); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its
opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to
any Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to any Company that is communicated to or obtained by the person
serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as any Agent shall believe in
good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.02) or in
the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as found by a final and nonappealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any
Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Borrower, a Lender, or
the Issuing Bank, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document,
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in
connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or
other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or
elsewhere in any Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the
term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market
custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative
Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking
of all UCC
119
financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from
time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification
to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and
that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of
Borrower and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by
any such service provider.
Section 10.04 Reliance by Agent. Each 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 a proper
person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be
made by a 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 Bank,
each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank
unless each Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender or the
Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other
advisors 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 advisors.
Section 10.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by
such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of the
preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of each Agent and any
such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication
of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.
Section 10.06 Successor Agent. Each Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders,
the Issuing Bank and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. If no
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent, which
successor shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States
(or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in
each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided that if such
retiring Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution that is willing to accept such
appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, the retiring Agent’s resignation
shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the
duties of the Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor Agent.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be
the same as those payable
120
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such
successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article X,
Section 11.03 and Sections 11.08 to 11.10 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.
Section 10.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed the
Confidential Information Memorandum and each other document made available to it on the Platform in
connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions
applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms and conditions set forth, or
otherwise maintained, on the Platform with respect thereto). Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or
any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 10.08 Name Agents. Borrower hereby consents and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may designate one or
more Lenders from time to time as a “Document Agent” hereunder. Any Document Agent shall hold its
title in name only, and that its title confers no additional rights or obligations relative to
those conferred on any Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.
Section 10.09 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such and each of its
Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors and without
limiting the obligation of Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors to do so), ratably according to
their respective outstanding Loans and Commitments in effect on the date on which indemnification
is sought under this Section 10.09 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon
which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall have
been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such outstanding Loans and Commitments as in effect
immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, fines, penalties, actions, claims, suits, litigations, investigations, inquiries or
proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether
before or after the payment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by
or asserted against such Agent or Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the
Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein, the Transactions, the Restatement Transactions or any of the other
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or Related
Person under or in connection with any of the
foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE
COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR RELATED PERSON); provided that no
Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, fines, penalties, actions, claims, suits, litigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs,
expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted solely from such Agent’s or Related Person’s, as
the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section
10.09 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.01 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with
this Section 11.01, and failure to deliver courtesy copies of notices and other
communications shall in no event affect the validity or effectiveness of such notices and other
communications.
Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section
11.01(b) below, shall be effective as provided in Section 11.01(b).
(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank hereunder may (subject to Section 11.01(d)) be delivered or furnished by
electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to
procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to
notices to any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent (in a manner set forth in
Section 11.01(a)) that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by
electronic communication. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or Borrower may, in their
respective sole discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures, respectively, approved by it (including as set
forth in Section 11.01(d)); provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to
particular notices or communications.
Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications
sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement
from the intended recipient (including by the “return receipt requested” function, as available,
return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other
communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day
for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website
shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as
described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is
available and identifying the website address therefor.
(c) Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address, facsimile number
or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties
hereto.
(d) Posting. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative
Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all notices,
requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information
materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a
conversion of an existing, Borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an
interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or
other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice
of any Default under this Agreement or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition
precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit
hereunder (all such non-excluded communications, collectively, the “Communications”), by
transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent at such e-mail address(es) provided to Borrower by the Administrative
Agent from time to time or in such other form, including hard copy
123
delivery thereof, as the
Administrative Agent shall require. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the
Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative
Agent shall require. Nothing in this Section 11.01 shall prejudice the right of the
Agents, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or as any such Agent shall reasonably require.
To the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, the
Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its
e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the
Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents; provided that Borrower shall also deliver
to the Administrative Agent an executed original of each Compliance Certificate required to be
delivered hereunder.
Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications
available to the other Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank by posting the Communications on
IntraLinks, SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).
The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agents do not warrant the accuracy or
completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim
liability for errors or omissions in the communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied
or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code
defects, is made by any Agent in connection with the Communications or the Platform.
Section 11.02 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of
steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent, the Issuing Bank and
the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document (other than any Hedging Agreement) or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom
shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 11.02, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a
Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any
Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may
be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an
agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the
case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (in the case of any Security Document) and the Loan
Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the written consent of the
Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:
124
(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;
(ii) reduce the principal amount or premium, if any, of any Loan or LC Disbursement or
reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than waiver of any increase in the rate of
interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or
change the currency of payment of any Obligation, without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby;
(iii) postpone or extend the maturity of any Loan, or the required date of payment of
any Reimbursement Obligation, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable
hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (other than a waiver of
any increase in the rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or postpone the
scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment or postpone the scheduled date of expiration
of any Letter of Credit beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, without the written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(iv) change Section 11.04(b) in a manner which further restricts assignments
thereunder without the written consent of each Lender
(v) change Section 2.14(b) or (c) or Section 9.02 in a manner
that would alter the order of or the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required
thereby, without the written consent of each Lender;
(vi) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any
other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section 11.02) specifying the
number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify
any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the
written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be);
(vii) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their
Guarantees (except as expressly provided in Article VII), or limit their liability
in respect of such Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender;
(viii) except as otherwise permitted in any Security Document or by Section
6.06, release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security
Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Obligations entitled to the Liens of the
Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional Obligations equally and
ratably with the other Obligations), in each case without the written consent of each
Lender;
(ix) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely
affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class
differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of
Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of
each adversely affected Class;
(x) change any provisions in Section 2.17 without the written consent of the
Swingline Lender or change any provisions in Section 2.18 without the written
consent of the Issuing Lender;
125
(xi) change the Collateral Management Agreement, without the consent of the Collateral
Manager.
provided, further, that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Issuing Bank
or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Manager, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (2) any waiver,
amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under
this Agreement of the Revolving Lenders may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the Revolving Lenders under
this Section 11.02, and (3) any waiver, amendment or modification prior to the achievement
of a successful syndication of the credit facilities provided herein (as determined by the Arranger
in its sole discretion) may not be effected without the written consent of the Arranger.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in
writing entered into by Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their
rights or obligations are affected thereby, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) if (x) by
the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided
for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment, (y) at the time such
amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts
owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement, and (z) Section 2.16(b) is
complied with.
Without the consent of any other person, the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and the
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or
shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan
Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection,
protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional
property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by applicable
Legal Requirements to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, in any property or assets so that the security interests therein comply with
applicable Legal Requirements.
Section 11.03 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay, promptly upon demand:
(i) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Arranger, the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing
Bank, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Advisors for the Arranger,
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Swingline Lender
and the Issuing Bank, in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments, the
preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the administration
of the Credit Extensions and Commitments (including with respect to the establishment and
maintenance of a Platform), the perfection and maintenance of the Liens securing the
Collateral and any actual or proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of any of the Loan
Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated);
(ii) all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Manager and the Collateral Agent, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Advisors
for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager, and the Collateral Agent, in
126
connection with any action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding
affecting the Collateral or any part thereof, in which action, claim, suit, litigation,
investigation, inquiry or proceeding the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager, or
the Collateral Agent is made a party or participates or in which the right to use the
Collateral or any part thereof is threatened, or in which it becomes necessary in the
judgment of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager, or the Collateral Agent to
defend or uphold the Liens granted by the Security Documents (including any action, claim,
suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding to establish or uphold the compliance
of the Collateral with any Legal Requirements);
(iii) all costs and expenses incurred by the Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Manager, any other Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Advisors for any of the
foregoing, incurred in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights under the
Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 11.03(a), or in connection
with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder and the collection of the
Obligations, including all such costs and expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Obligations; and
(iv) all Other Taxes in respect of the Loan Documents.
(b) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Agents, each Lender, the
Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing persons and each
Related Person of each of the foregoing (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against,
and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, fines, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and related
expenses, including reasonable Advisors fees, charges and disbursements (collectively, “Claims”),
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, arising out of, in any way
connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution, delivery, performance, administration or
enforcement of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby or the
performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder, (ii) any actual or
proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any
Indemnitee is a party thereto, (iv) any actual or alleged presence or
Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials, on, at, under or from any property
owned, leased or operated by any Company at any time, or any Environmental Claim or threatened
Environmental Claim related in any way to any Company, (v) any past, present or future
non-compliance with, or violation of, Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits applicable to any
Company, or any Company’s business, or any property presently or formerly owned, leased, or
operated by any Company or their predecessors in interest, (vi) the environmental condition of any
property owned, leased, or operated by any Company at any time, or the applicability of any Legal
Requirements relating to such property, whether or not occasioned wholly or in part by any
condition, accident or event caused by any act or omission of any Company, (vii) the imposition of
any environmental Lien encumbering Real Property, (viii) the consummation of the Transactions, the
Restatement Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby or (ix) any actual or
prospective claim, action, suit, litigation, inquiry, investigation, or proceeding relating to any
of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by any Loan Party or otherwise, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party
thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
127
are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted directly from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, that, without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent and any affected Lender, which consent(s) will not be unreasonably
withheld, the Loan Parties will not enter into any settlement of a Claim in respect of the subject
matter of clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 11.03(b) unless such settlement includes an
explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such Claim of all affected Indemnitees
and does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by
or on behalf of any Indemnitees.
(d) The provisions of this Section 11.03 shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the
Transactions, the Restatement Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and any other Obligations, the release of any
Guarantor or of all or any portion of the Collateral, the expiration of the Commitments, the
expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents,
the Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 11.03 shall be payable
on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any
reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.
(e) To the extent that the Loan Parties fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to
the Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section 11.03 in accordance with paragraph (g) of this Section 11.03, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may
be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective
whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred
or asserted by any party hereto or any third party); provided that the unreimbursed Claim was
incurred by or asserted against any of the Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such. For purposes of this paragraph, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined
based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposure, outstanding and unused Commitments
at the time.
(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, no Loan Party shall
assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, the Restatement Transactions, any Loan or Letter
of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages
arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by
it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection
with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
(g) All amounts due under this Section 11.03 shall be payable not later than 10 days
after demand therefor.
128
Section 11.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Loan Parties may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the
Swingline Lender, and each Lender which consent may be withheld in their sole discretion (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void).
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
Participants to the extent expressly provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 11.04 and,
to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b) Any Lender shall have the right at any time to assign to one or more assignees (other than
any Company or any Affiliate thereof or a natural person, or any Person (or any Affiliate of a
Person) who is a direct or indirect holder of 5% or more of the Equity Interests of Borrower) all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:
(i) except in the case of (A) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund, (B) any assignment made in connection with the syndication of the Commitment
and Loans by the Arranger or (C) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$2,500,000;
(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this
clause (ii) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Commitments or Loans;
(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500
(which fee may be waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion);
provided that such fee shall not be payable in the case of (A) an assignment by any Lender
to an Approved Fund of such Lender, (B) any assignment made in connection with the primary
syndication of the Commitments and Loans by the Arranger or (C) an assignment settled
through the Administrative Agent;
(iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;
(v) in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any
Revolving Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure (except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
129
Approved Fund), the
Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender must give its prior written consent to such assignment
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned);
(vi) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund, the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent to such
assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and
(vii) in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment, a
Revolving Loan or any Revolving Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure or
Swingline Exposure (except in the case of (A) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund, or (B) any assignment made in connection with the syndication of
the Commitment and Loans by the Arranger), Borrower must give its prior written consent to
such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
(i) any consent of Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required, and (ii)
any consent of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender required under this paragraph (b) may be
withheld by such person in its sole discretion. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 11.04, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to
the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement (provided that any liability of Borrower to such
assignee under Section 2.12 or 2.15 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that
would have been payable thereunder by Borrower in the absence of such assignment, except to the
extent any such amounts are attributable to a Change in Law occurring after the date of such
assignment), and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.15 and 11.03).
(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain
at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for
the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may
treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register
shall be available for inspection by Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent, the
Swingline Lender and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee
shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section 11.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section 11.04, the Administrative Agent shall reasonably promptly accept such
130
Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with the requirements of this Section
11.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation
in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section 11.04.
(e) Any Lender shall have the right at any time, without the consent of, or notice to
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or the Swingline Lender or any other person
to sell participations to any person (other than any Company or any Affiliate thereof or a natural
person) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to
which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or
waiver that (1) is described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the proviso to Section
11.02(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this
Section 11.04, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections2.12
and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 11.04. To the extent permitted by Legal
Requirements, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as
though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees in writing to be subject to
Section 2.14(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender shall, acting for this purpose as
an agent of Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of its Participants, and the amount and terms of its participations; provided that no
Lender shall be required to disclose or share the information contained in such register with
Borrower or any other person, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements.
(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.12 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the prior written consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless Borrower is notified of
the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of
Borrower, to comply with Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender.
(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank, and this
Section 11.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in
bank loans or similar extensions of
131
credit, such Lender may, without the consent of Borrower, the
Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other person, collaterally
assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and
Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder
of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued,
by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing
from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, the option to
provide to Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein
shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise
such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall
be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof; provided further that nothing herein
shall make the SPC a “Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement, obligate Borrower or any other
Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to deal with such SPC directly, obligate Borrower or any
other Loan Party in any manner to any greater extent than they were obligated to the Granting
Lender, or increase costs or expenses of Borrower. The Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to deal solely with, and obtain good discharge from, the Granting Lender and
shall not be required to investigate or otherwise seek the consent or approval of any SPC,
including for the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any
Loan Document. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the
Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each
party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).
In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the
payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it
will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of
the United States of America or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 11.04(h), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without
the prior written consent of, Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any
processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting
Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by Borrower and the Administrative Agent)
providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the
account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency,
commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to
such SPC.
(i) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment
and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in
electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a
manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be,
to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Legal Requirement, including the Federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures
and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 11.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan
Documents and in the reports, certificates or other
132
instruments delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon
by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and
the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made
by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents, the Issuing Bank or
any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty
at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long
as any Obligation or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated. The provisions of Article X and Sections 2.12 to 2.15,
10.06, 11.03 and 11.08 to 11.10 shall survive and remain in full
force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Transactions, the Restatement Transactions
and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the payment of the
Reimbursement Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 11.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by
the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement
by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 11.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of
a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any
other jurisdiction.
Section 11.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and
each of their respective Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any
time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the
Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against
any and all of the obligations of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or
any other Loan Documents held by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not
such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although
such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or
the Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.08 are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
133
Section 11.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State
of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of
the laws of another jurisdiction.
(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in
New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and
any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any
Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by
applicable Legal Requirements, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal
Requirements. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise shall affect any
right that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 11.09(b). Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements,
the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices
(other than facsimile or email) in Section 11.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any
other manner permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.
Section 11.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or
indirectly arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, the Transactions, the Restatement
Transactions or the other transactions contemplated thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any
other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any
other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event
of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other
parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual
waivers and certifications in this Section 11.10.
Section 11.11 Headings; No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be
taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. This Agreement may not be used to
interpret any other loan or debt agreement or instrument of any Company or of any other person.
Any such loan or debt agreement or instrument may not be used to interpret this Agreement or any
other Loan Document.
134
Section 11.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its and its Affiliates’ and Approved Funds’ directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and
other representatives, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood
that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of
such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to the terms
hereof), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or any quasi-regulatory authority
(such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable Legal Requirements or by any subpoena or similar legal process or in connection with any
pledge or assignment made pursuant to Section 11.04(g), (d) to any other party to this
Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under the Loan Documents or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement
of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially
the same as those of this Section 11.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement,
(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to Borrower and its obligations, (iii) any rating agency for the purpose of obtaining a
credit rating applicable to any Loan or Loan Party or (iv) any actual or prospective investor in an
SPC, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) is publicly
available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section 11.12 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower or any
Subsidiary. In addition, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may disclose the existence
of the Loan Documents and information about the Loan
Documents to market data collectors, similar service providers to the financing community, and
service providers to the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders. For the purposes of this
Section 11.12, “Information” shall mean all information received from Borrower relating to
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its business that is clearly identified at the time of
delivery as confidential, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower.
Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section 11.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as
such person accords to its own confidential information.
Section 11.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to
any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such
Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the
“Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender
holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, the rate of interest payable in
respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section 11.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in
respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor)
until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to
the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 11.14 Assignment and Acceptance. Each Lender to become a party to this Agreement (other than the Administrative Agent and any
other Lender that is a signatory hereto) shall do so by
135
delivering to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Acceptance duly executed by such Lender, Borrower (if Borrower consent to such
assignment is required hereunder) and the Administrative Agent.
Section 11.15 Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder
shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition,
liquidation or the like of any Loan Party;
(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto against any Loan Party;
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any
of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any
Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(d) any exchange, release or non-perfection or loss of priority of any Liens on any or all of
the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any
guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations;
(e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under
or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or
(f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Loan Parties.
Section 11.16 Waiver of Defenses; Absence of Fiduciary Duties. (a) Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses available to it as a
Guarantor arising out of the joint and several nature of its respective duties and obligations
hereunder (including any defense contained in Article VII).
(b) Each of the Loan Parties agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents and any communications in connection therewith,
the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and each Lender, SPC and Agent,
on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or
otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of any Lender, SPC or any Agent or any of their
respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such
transactions or communications.
Section 11.17 Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot
Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties,
which information includes the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each Loan Party
and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with
the Patriot Act.
Section 11.18 Judgment Currency. (a) The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments
in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment
expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such
tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative
136
Agent or the respective
Lender or Issuing Bank of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to the Administrative
Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the
purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any
jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such
other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars,
the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent determined as of the Business Day immediately
preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to
as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).
(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Loan Parties shall pay, or
cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be
necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate
of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Dollars which could have
been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at
the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.
(c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this
Section 11.18, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with
the purchase of Dollars.
Section 11.19 Assumption of Obligations under Loan Documents. Concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition, each the Target and of its Subsidiaries
agrees that they are bound as Subsidiary Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and, in the case of the Security Documents, as Pledgors, in each case, by all of the
terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the
same extent as if the Target and such Subsidiary Guarantors had been Subsidiary Guarantors
immediately prior to the consummation of the Acquisition.
Section 11.20 Assumption of Obligations under Commitment Letter and Fee Letter. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably agrees that it is jointly and severally liable with Borrower
and each other Loan Party for any and all liabilities and obligations of Borrower relating to or
arising out of any of its respective duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Commitment
Letter and the Fee Letter.
Section 11.21 Conversion of Term Loans on the Restatement Date. Effective as the Restatement Date, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i)
all Term Loans outstanding (and excluding those Term Loans paid in full immediately prior to the
Restatement Date pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Existing Credit Agreement) shall hereby be
converted into and be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to constitute Revolving Loans, and
(ii) the Revolving Commitments relating to such converted Revolving Loans will be reflected in the
revised Annex II(A) attached hereto.
Section 11.22 Amendment And Restatement. On the Restatement Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded
in its entirety. Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby confirm and agree that all
Obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the amendment and
restatement thereof as contemplated hereby (such Obligations, the “Existing Credit Agreement
Obligations”) shall, unless and until paid (including those repayments as of the date hereof),
continue to remain outstanding under this Agreement and shall not constitute new Obligations
incurred by Borrower on or after the Restatement Date. Borrower
137
and each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby confirm that all Existing Credit Agreement Obligations are due and owing without offset,
defense, counterclaim or recoupment of any kind or nature. The parties hereto acknowledge and
agree that this Agreement and the other Restatement Documents, whether executed and delivered in
connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or
termination of the Existing Credit Agreement Obligations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Loan Parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their
respective Responsible Officers and the other parties hereby by their authorized signatories as of
the day and year first above written.1

demand promissory note (this “Promissory Note”) as a Payor (as defined below) promises to pay to
the order of such other Group Member that makes loans to such Group Member (each Group Member which
borrows money pursuant to this Promissory Note is referred to herein as a “Payor” and each Group
Member which makes loans and advances pursuant to this Promissory Note is referred to herein as a
“Payee”), on demand, in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available
funds and at the appropriate office of the Payee, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all
loans and advances heretofore and hereafter made by such Payee to such Payor and any other
indebtedness now or hereafter owing by such Payor to such Payee as shown in the books and records
of such Payee. The failure to show any such indebtedness or any error in showing such Indebtedness
shall not affect the obligations of any Payor hereunder. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms
defined in the Credit Agreement (hereinafter defined) and used herein shall have the meanings given
to them in that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2010 (as
amended, restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), among BioScrip, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), the Subsidiary Guarantors,
the Lenders, Healthcare Finance Group, LLC, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”), as collateral agent for the Secured Parties and as collateral manager, and
other entities party thereto.
The unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding shall bear interest at a rate
equal to the rate as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time by the relevant Payor and
Payee. Each Payor and any endorser of this Promissory Note hereby waives presentment, demand,
protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights
hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.
This Promissory Note has been pledged by (x) each Payee that is a Loan Party to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for such Payee’s Obligations, if any,
under the Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Payee
is a party and (y) each Payee that is the Company or any Guarantor (as defined in the Senior Note
Agreement) to the Trustee (under and as defined in the Senior Note Agreement) for the benefit of
the Holders (as defined in the Senior Note Agreement). Each Payor acknowledges and agrees that (x)
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and
the other Secured Parties may exercise all the rights of the Payees that are Loan Parties under
this Promissory Note in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the
Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents and will not be subject to any abatement,
reduction, recoupment, defense, setoff or counterclaim available to such Payor, and (y) upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Note
Agreement), the Trustee (as defined in the Senior Note Agreement) may exercise all rights of the
Company or any Guarantor (as defined in the Senior Note Agreement) as Payees under this Promissory
Note in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Senior Note Agreement and other
D-1
Senior Note Documents and will not be subject to any abatement, reduction, recoupment,
defense, setoff or counterclaim available to such Payor.
Each Payee agrees that any and all claims of such Payee against any Payor that is a Loan Party
or any endorser for the obligations of a Payor that is a Loan Party of this Promissory Note, or
against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to
(x) the Obligations until all of the Obligations have been performed and paid in full in
immediately available funds, all Letters of Credit have been terminated or cash collateralized and
the Commitments have been terminated; provided, that each such Payor may make payments to the
applicable Payee so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and (y) the Obligations (as defined in the Senior Note Agreement) until all of the Obligations (as
defined in the Senior Note Agreement) have been performed and paid in full in immediately available
funds; provided, that each such Payor may make payments to the applicable Payee so long as no
Default or an Event of Default (each as defined in the Senior Note Agreement) shall have occurred
and be continuing.
Notwithstanding any right of any Payee to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment
from any Payor, all rights, Liens and security interests of such Payee, whether now or hereafter
arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any Payor (whether constituting part of the
security or collateral given to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to secure payment of all
or any part of the Obligations or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of
(x) the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in such assets and (y) the Trustee (as defined in
the Senior Note Agreement) or any Holder (as defined in the Senior Note Agreement) in such assets.
Except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Senior Note Agreement, the Payees
shall have no right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon, or exercise any other
remedy in respect of, any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all
of (x) the Obligations shall have been performed and paid in full in immediately available funds,
all Letters of Credit have been terminated or cash collateralized and the Commitments have been
terminated and (y) the Obligations (as defined in the Senior Note Agreement) shall have been
performed and paid in full in immediately available funds.
This Promissory Note shall be binding upon each Payor and its successors and assigns, and the
terms and provisions of this Promissory Note shall inure to the benefit of each Payee and their
respective successors and assigns, including subsequent holders hereof. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in any Loan Document or any Senior Note Document or in any other
promissory note or other instrument, this Promissory Note (i) replaces and supersedes any and all
promissory notes or other instruments which create or evidence any loans or advances made on or
before the date hereof by any Payee to any other Group Member, and (ii) shall not be deemed
replaced, superseded or in any way modified (x) by any promissory note or other instrument entered
into on or after the date hereof which purports to create or evidence any loan or advance by any
Payee to any other Group Member or (y) prior to the payment in full of the Obligations, termination
or cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit and the terminations of all Commitments.
THIS PROMISSORY NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS PROMISSORY NOTE
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CHOICE OF LAW THAT WOULD APPLY THE LAW OF ANOTHER
JURISDICTION.

shall be determined to be superseded, illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable in whole or in
part pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction,
such determination shall
D-2

term or provision in any other jurisdiction or any of the remaining terms and provisions of this
Promissory Note in any jurisdiction.

parties (as Payor and/or Payee, as the case may be) hereto by executing a counterpart signature
page to this Promissory Note (each additional Subsidiary, an “Additional Party”). Upon delivery of
such counterpart signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other

hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an

LANDLORD ACCESS AGREEMENT
THIS LANDLORD ACCESS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of ____________,
by and between ________________________, having an office at __________________________
(“Landlord”), Healthcare Finance Group, LLC, as the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the lenders
(the “Lenders”) party to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (in such capacity, the
“Collateral Agent”).
RECITALS:
A. Landlord is the record title holder and owner of the real property described in
Schedule A attached hereto (the “Real Property”).
B. Landlord has leased all or a portion of the Real Property (the “Leased Premises”)
to [___] (“Lessee”) pursuant to a certain lease agreement or agreements described in Schedule
B attached hereto (collectively, and as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Lease”).
C. BioScrip, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), the Subsidiary Guarantors
party thereto and the Collateral Agent, among others, have entered into an Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2010 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; terms used and not otherwise defined
herein that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms
therein), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make certain loans to Borrower
(collectively, the “Loans”).
D. [The Lessee is a Subsidiary of Borrower.]
E. [The Lessee has, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, guaranteed the obligations of
Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.]1
F. As security for the payment and performance of Lessee’s Obligations under the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent has or will acquire a security
interest in and lien upon all of Lessee’s personal property, inventory, accounts, goods, machinery,
equipment, furniture and fixtures, other than any building fixtures, including, without limitation,
HVAC systems (together with all additions, substitutions, replacements and improvements to, and

Parties.
G. The Collateral Agent has requested that Landlord execute this Agreement as a
condition precedent to the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement.

Include if Borrower is not the Lessee. |
F-1
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby
represents, warrants and agrees in favor of the Collateral Agent, as follows:
1. Landlord certifies that (i) Landlord is the landlord under the Lease described in
Schedule B attached hereto, (ii) the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been
amended, modified or supplemented except as set forth in Schedule B hereto and (iii)
Landlord has sent no notice of default to Lessee under the Lease respecting a default which has not
been cured by Lessee.
2. Landlord agrees that it will provide the Collateral Agent (via overnight mail at
Lessee’s cost and expense) with written notice of any default by Lessee under the Lease resulting
in termination of the Lease (a “Default Notice”) at the same time as it sends such notice to the
Lessee. The Collateral Agent shall have at least 10 days following receipt of such Default Notice
to cure such default, but the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to cure any
default by Lessee under the Lease. No action by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement
shall be deemed to be an assumption by the Collateral Agent of any obligation under the Lease, and,
except as provided in Sections 3, 5 and 6 below, the Collateral Agent shall
not have any obligation to Landlord.
3. Landlord agrees that the Personal Property is and will remain personal property
and not fixtures even though it may be affixed to or placed on the Leased Premises. Landlord
further agrees that the Collateral Agent has the right to remove the Personal Property from the
Leased Premises at any time in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; provided that the
Collateral Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify Landlord first and shall
repair any damage arising from such removal. Landlord further agrees that it will not hinder the
Collateral Agent’s actions in removing Personal Property from the Leased Premises or the Collateral
Agent’s actions in otherwise enforcing its security interest in the Personal Property. The
Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Leased Premises caused by
the absence of Personal Property actually removed or by the need to replace the Personal Property
after such removal. Landlord acknowledges that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to
remove the Personal Property from the Leased Premises.
4. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Lessee’s granting of a security interest in
the Personal Property in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties)
shall not constitute a default under the Lease nor permit Landlord to terminate the Lease or
re-enter or repossess the Leased Premises or otherwise be the basis for the exercise of any remedy
by Landlord and Landlord hereby expressly consents to the granting of such security interest and
agrees that such security interest shall be superior to any lien of the Landlord (statutory or
otherwise) in the Personal Property.
5. Upon a termination of the Lease, Landlord will permit the Collateral Agent and
its representatives and invitees to occupy and remain on the Leased Premises; provided that (a)
such period of occupation (the “Disposition Period”) shall not exceed 180 days following receipt by
the Collateral Agent of a Default Notice or, if the Lease has expired by its own terms (absent a
default thereunder), up to 60 days following the Collateral Agent’s receipt of written notice of
such expiration, (b) for the actual period of occupancy by the Collateral Agent, the Applicable
Collateral Agent will pay to Landlord the basic rent due under the Lease pro rated on a per diem
basis determined on a 30-day month, and shall provide and retain liability and property insurance
coverage, electricity and heat to the extent required by the Lease and (c) such amounts paid by the
Collateral Agent to Landlord shall exclude any rent adjustments, indemnity payments or similar
amounts for which the Lessee remains liable under the Lease for default, holdover status or other
similar charges. If any injunction or stay is issued that prohibits the
F-2
Collateral Agent from removing the Personal Property, the commencement of the applicable
Disposition Period will be deferred until such injunction or stay is lifted or removed.
6. During any Disposition Period, (a) the Collateral Agent and its representatives
and invitees may inspect, repossess, remove and otherwise deal with the Personal Property, and the
Collateral Agent may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Personal
Property at the Leased Premises, in each case without interference by Landlord or liability of the
Collateral Agent or any Lender to Landlord and (b) the Collateral Agent shall make the Leased
Premises available for inspection by Landlord and prospective tenants and shall cooperate in
Landlord’s reasonable efforts to re-lease the Leased Premises. If the Collateral Agent conducts a
public auction or private sale of the Personal Property at the Leased Premises, the Collateral
Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify Landlord first and to hold such auction or sale in a
manner which would not unduly disrupt Landlord’s or any other tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.
7. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and assigns of Landlord (including, without limitation, any successor
owner of the Real Property) and the Collateral Agent for the benefits of the Secured Parties.
Landlord will disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any purchaser or successor to
Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises.
8. All notices to any party hereto under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent
to such party at its respective address set forth above (or at such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the
terms of this Section 8) by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or by
overnight delivery service.
9. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect until Landlord shall
have received the Collateral Agent’s written certification that the Loans have been paid in full
and all of Borrower’s other Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents
have been satisfied (exclusive of indemnification obligations which survive this termination of the
Loan Documents).
10. THE INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF
LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD APPLY THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
11. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute
an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute a single agreement.

or perfection of any Second Priority Lien and any First Priority Lien, and notwithstanding any
provision of the UCC or any other applicable law or the provisions of any First Priority Debt
Agreement, First Priority Security Agreement or Second Priority Financing Agreement or any other
circumstance whatsoever, the parties hereby agree that so long as the Discharge of First Priority
Claims has not occurred, (i) any First Priority Lien (to the extent perfected) on any Collateral
now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any First Priority Secured Party shall be senior in
right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all Second Priority Liens on
any Collateral, and (ii) any Second Priority Lien on any Collateral now or hereafter held by or for
the benefit of any Second Priority Secured Party shall be junior
6
and subordinate in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all First
Priority Liens (to the extent perfected) on any Collateral, and the First Priority Liens (to the
extent perfected) on any Collateral shall be and remain senior in right, priority, operation,
effect and all other respects to any Second Priority Liens on any Collateral for all purposes,
whether or not any First Priority Liens on any Collateral are subordinated in any respect to any
other Lien held by any Person (other than the Second Priority Secured Parties) securing any other
obligation of the Company, any other Grantor or any other Person; provided, however, for the
avoidance of doubt, nothing herein contained shall be deemed a subordination in right of payment of
the Second Priority Claims to the First Priority Claims.
SECTION 2.02. Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Supplier, for itself and on behalf of the other
Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby agrees that it will not, and hereby waives any right to,
contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding), the priority, validity or enforceability of any First Priority Lien.
First Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, hereby
agrees that it will not, and hereby waives any right to, contest, or support any other Person in
contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) the priority
(subject to the terms hereof governing relative priorities) validity or enforceability of any
Second Priority Lien.
SECTION 2.03. Common Collateral. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their
intention that the Second Priority Collateral be included within the First Priority Collateral and
that, without limiting the foregoing, no portion of the Second Priority Collateral shall not be a
part of the First Priority Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree
to cooperate in good faith in order to determine, upon any reasonable request by the First Priority
Agent or Supplier, the specific assets included in the First Priority Collateral and the Second
Priority Collateral, the steps taken to perfect the First Priority Liens and the Second Priority
Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the First Priority Debt
Documents and the Second Priority Financing Documents in respect of the First Priority Claims and
the Second Priority Claims, respectively and, to the extent that any portion of the Second Priority
Collateral is not included within the First Priority Collateral at any time, without limiting any
other right or remedy available to the First Priority Agent or the other First Priority Secured
Parties, Supplier, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees
that any amounts received by or distributed to any Second Priority Secured Party pursuant to or as
a result of any Lien in such Second Priority Collateral shall be subject to Section 4.02.
In addition, in furtherance of the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the First
Security Priority Agent, no Second Priority Financing Document may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified, or entered into, to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or
the terms of such new Second Priority Financing Document, would (i) contravene the provisions of
this Agreement or (ii) increase, expand or otherwise add to the Second Priority Collateral.
ARTICLE III
Enforcement of Rights; Matters Relating to Collateral
SECTION 3.01. Exercise of Rights and Remedies. (a) So long as the Discharge of First Priority
Claims has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or Liquidation
Sale has been commenced, the First Priority Agent and the other First Priority Secured Parties
shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights and exercise remedies
7
with respect to the Collateral (including making determinations regarding the release, Disposition
or restrictions with respect to the Collateral), or to commence or seek to commence any action or
proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any foreclosure action or proceeding
or any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or Liquidation Sale), in each case, without any
consultation with or the consent of any Second Priority Secured Party except as required pursuant
to applicable law; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding, the Second Priority Secured Parties may file a proof of claim or statement
of interest with respect to the Second Priority Claims; (ii) the Second Priority Secured Parties
may take any action to preserve or protect the validity and enforceability of the Second Priority
Liens, provided that no such action is, or could reasonably be expected to be, (A) materially
adverse to the First Priority Liens or the rights of the First Priority Secured Parties as secured
creditors or any other First Priority Secured Party to exercise remedies as secured creditors in
respect thereof or (B) otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including the
automatic release of Second Priority Liens provided in Section 3.04; (iii) the Second
Priority Secured Parties may file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any
motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise
seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Priority Secured Parties, including any claims
secured by the Collateral or otherwise make any agreements or file any motions pertaining to the
Second Priority Claims, in each case, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement; (iv) the Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured
creditors, as provided in Section 3.03(a); and (v) subject to Section 3.02(a), the
Second Priority Agent and the other Second Priority Secured Parties may enforce any of their rights
and exercise any of their remedies with respect to the Collateral after the termination of the
Standstill Period (the actions described in this proviso being referred to herein as the “Second
Priority Permitted Actions”). Except for the Second Priority Permitted Actions, unless and until
the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, the sole right of the Second Priority Secured
Parties with respect to the Collateral shall be to receive the proceeds of the Collateral, if any,
remaining after the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred and in accordance with the
Second Priority Financing Documents and applicable law.
(b) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, subject to applicable
law (including all provisions of the UCC applicable thereto), the First Priority Agent and the
other First Priority Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the First Priority Debt
Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order, without notice (except as required
by applicable law (including all provisions of the UCC applicable thereto)) to any Second Priority
Secured Creditor and in such manner as they may determine in their sole discretion (provided that,
without limiting the foregoing, the First Priority Agent shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to provide Supplier with subsequent notice thereof). Such exercise and enforcement shall
include the rights of an agent appointed by them to Dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to
incur expenses in connection with any such Disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies
of a secured creditor under and in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code
or any other Bankruptcy Law.
(c) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Second Priority
Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Second Priority Financing Documents and exercise
remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in their sole
discretion, in each case, to the extent that such enforcement or exercise is not otherwise
prohibited by clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.01. Such exercise and enforcement
shall, in each case, to the extent that such enforcement or exercise is not otherwise prohibited by
clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.01, include the rights of an agent appointed by
8
them to Dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with any such
Disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform
Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law. Supplier agrees to provide at
least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice to the First Priority Agent of its intention to
foreclose upon or Dispose of any Collateral; provided, however, that the failure to give any such
notice shall not in any way limit its ability to foreclose upon or Dispose of any Collateral to the
extent that such foreclosure is not otherwise prohibited by clauses (a) through (c) of this
Section 3.01.
SECTION 3.02. No Interference. Supplier, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority
Secured Parties, agrees that, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or
Liquidation Sale has been commenced, the Second Priority Secured Parties:
(a) except for Second Priority Permitted Actions, will not, so long as the Discharge of First
Priority Claims has not occurred, (A) enforce or exercise, or seek to enforce or exercise, any
rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral (including the enforcement of any right under any
account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or
arrangement to which any Second Priority Secured Party is a party) or (B) commence or join with any
Person (other than the First Priority Agent) in commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any
resolution for, any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any
foreclosure action); provided, however, that none of the Second Priority Secured Parties may
enforce or exercise any or all such rights and remedies, or commence, join with any Person in
commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any resolution for, any such action or proceeding,
after a period of 90 days has elapsed (which period shall be tolled during any period in which the
First Priority Agent shall not be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with
respect to any Collateral as a result of (x) any injunction issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction or (y) the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding) since the date on which Supplier has delivered to the First Priority Agent written
notice of an uncured default under the Prime Vendor Agreement (the “Standstill Period”); provided
further, however, that (1) notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period or anything
herein to the contrary, in no event shall Supplier or any other Second Priority Secured Party
enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral, or commence, join with
any Person at any time in commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any resolution for, any
such action or proceeding, if the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party
shall have commenced, and shall be diligently pursuing (or shall have sought or requested relief
from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit thereof), the enforcement or exercise of any
rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or any such action or proceeding (prompt written
notice thereof to be given to the Second Priority Agent by the First Priority Agent) and (2) after
the expiration of the Standstill Period, so long as neither the First Priority Agent nor the First
Priority Secured Parties have commenced any action to enforce their Lien on any material portion of
the Collateral, in the event that and for so long as the Second Priority Secured Parties (or
Supplier on their behalf) have commenced any actions to enforce their Lien with respect to any
Collateral to the extent permitted hereunder and are diligently pursuing such actions, neither the
First Priority Secured Parties nor the First Priority Agent shall take any action of a similar
nature with respect to such Collateral; provided, that all other provisions of this Agreement
(including the turnover provisions of Article IV) are complied with;
(b) will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure action or proceeding brought by the
First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party, or any other
9
enforcement or exercise by any First Priority Secured Party of any rights or remedies relating
to the Collateral under the First Priority Debt Documents or an Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding or in connection with a Liquidation Sale or otherwise, so long as Second Priority Liens
attach to the proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section
2.01(a), and will not contest, protest or object to the forbearance by the First Priority Agent
or any other First Priority Secured Party from commencing or pursuing any foreclosure action or
proceeding or any other enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to the
Collateral.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Supplier, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority
Secured Parties, agrees that, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or
Liquidation Sale has been commenced, the Second Priority Secured Parties will not, except for
Second Priority Permitted Actions, (w) take or receive any Collateral, or any proceeds thereof or
payment with respect thereto, in connection with the exercise of any right or enforcement of any
remedy with respect to any Collateral or in connection with any insurance policy award under a
policy of insurance relating to any Collateral or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of
condemnation) relating to any Collateral, (x) take any action that would, or could reasonably be
expected to, hinder, in any manner, any exercise of remedies under the First Priority Debt
Documents, including any Disposition of any Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise and (y)
object to the manner in which the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party
may seek to enforce or collect the First Priority Claims or the First Priority Liens, regardless of
whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Priority Agent or any other First
Priority Secured Party is, or could be, adverse to the interests of the Second Priority Secured
Parties, and will not assert, and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right
to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshalling, appraisal,
valuation or other similar right that may be available under applicable law with respect to the
Collateral or any similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law, and (z)
will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceeding or otherwise, to challenge
or question the validity or enforceability of any First Priority Claim or any First Priority
Security Document, including this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of the priorities,
rights or obligations established by this Agreement.
SECTION 3.03. Rights as Unsecured Creditors. The Second Priority Secured Parties may, in
accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Financing Documents and applicable law, enforce
rights and exercise remedies against any Grantor as unsecured creditors; provided, that no such
action is otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing sentence, the Second Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to prosecute
litigation against any Grantor or any other Person liable in respect of the Second Priority Claims
but shall be prohibited from taking any action to enforce any judgment relating to, or applicable
to, any of the Second Priority Collateral until the Discharge of the First Priority Claims.
Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Secured Party of the
required payments of any amounts due under the Second Priority Financing Documents so long as such
receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the enforcement of Second Priority Liens or
exercise in contravention of this Agreement by any Second Priority Secured Party of rights or
remedies as a secured creditor against Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement
of any Second Priority Lien against Collateral (including any judgment lien resulting from the
exercise of remedies available to an unsecured creditor to the extent relating to, or applicable
to, any of the Second Priority Collateral).
SECTION 3.04. Automatic Release of Second Priority Liens. If, in connection with (i) any
Disposition of any Collateral permitted under the terms of the First
10
Priority Debt Documents or (ii) the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect
to the Collateral, including any Disposition of Collateral, the First Priority Agent, for itself
and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, (x) releases any of the First Priority
Liens, or (y) releases any Guarantor from its obligations under its guarantee of the First Priority
Claims (in each case, a “Release”), other than any such Release granted following (and not as a
condition to) the Discharge of First Priority Claims, then the Second Priority Liens on such
Collateral (to the extent, and only to the extent, subject to the Release pursuant to preceding
clause (x)), and the obligations of such Guarantor under its guarantee of the Second Priority
Claims (to the extent, and only to the extent, to the Release of the applicable Guarantor pursuant
to preceding clause (y)), shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released
(subject to the receipt by the First Priority Agent of any applicable cash proceeds of any such
Disposition or sums realized in enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to
the Second Priority Collateral and the application thereof in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement), and Supplier shall, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured
Parties, promptly execute and deliver to the First Priority Agent, the relevant Grantor or such
Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Priority Agent or
the relevant Grantor or Guarantor may reasonably request and provide to effectively confirm such
Release. For the avoidance of doubt, all proceeds of any Disposition of Collateral or other
enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral received by any
Secured Party shall be subject to the application of proceeds requirements of Section 4.01
and, until application in accordance therewith, each Secured Party agrees, subject to applicable
law, to hold the same in express trust for such Secured Party (or Secured Parties) as are entitled
thereto in accordance with the terms hereof. Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims occurs,
any Supplier, for itself and on behalf of any other Second Priority Secured Party, hereby appoints
the First Priority Agent, and any officer or agent of the First Priority Agent, with full power of
substitution, as the attorney-in-fact of each Second Priority Secured Party for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this Section 3.04 and taking any action and executing any
instrument that the First Priority Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
of this Section 3.04 (including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or
release), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
SECTION 3.05. Insurance and Condemnation Awards. So long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims
has not occurred, the First Priority Agent and the other First Priority Secured Parties shall have
the exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Priority Debt Documents,
to settle and adjust claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance covering
Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed
in lieu of condemnation, in respect of the Collateral, provided that all the other provisions of
this Agreement are complied with in regard thereto. All proceeds of any such policy and any such
award, or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation, shall (a) first, prior to
the Discharge of First Priority Claims and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First
Priority Debt Documents, be paid to the First Priority Agent for the benefit of First Priority
Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the First Priority Debt Documents, (b) second, after the
Discharge of First Priority Claims and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Second
Priority Financing Documents, be paid to the Second Priority Secured Parties pursuant to the terms
of the Second Priority Financing Documents, and (c) third, be paid to the owner of the subject
property or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of
First Priority Claims has occurred, if any Second Priority Secured Party shall, at any time,
receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment, it shall transfer
and pay over such proceeds to the First Priority Agent in accordance with Section 4.02.
11
SECTION 3.06. Notification of Release of Collateral. Each of the First Priority Agent and Supplier
shall give the other prompt written notice of the Disposition by it of, and Release by it of the
Lien on, any Collateral. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the subject Collateral,
the parties involved in such Disposition or Release, the place, time manner and method thereof, and
the consideration, if any, received therefor; provided, however, that the failure to give any such
notice shall not in and of itself in any way impair the effectiveness of any such Disposition or
Release.
ARTICLE IV
Payments
SECTION 4.01. Application of Proceeds. Any Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Secured
Party in connection with any Disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the enforcement
or exercise of any right or remedy shall be applied as follows:
first, to the payment in full of the First Priority Claims and the costs and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the First Priority Agent in connection with such
enforcement or exercise, and
second, after all such costs and expenses have been paid in full and the Discharge of
First Priority Claims has occurred, to the payment of the Second Priority Claims.
After all such costs and expenses have been paid in full, the Discharge of First Priority Claims
has occurred and the Discharge of Second Priority Claims has occurred, any surplus Collateral or
proceeds then remaining shall be returned to the applicable Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully
entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
SECTION 4.02. Payment Over. So long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred,
any Collateral or any proceeds thereof (together with assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred
to in the final sentence of Section 2.03) received by any Second Priority Secured Party in
connection with any Disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the enforcement or the
exercise of any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral, or in connection with any insurance
policy claim or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of condemnation), shall be segregated and
held in trust and forthwith transferred or paid over to the First Priority Agent for the benefit of
the First Priority Secured Parties in the same form as received, together with any necessary
endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of
First Priority Claims occurs, Supplier, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority
Secured Party, hereby appoints the First Priority Agent, and any officer or agent of the First
Priority Agent, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Second Priority
Secured Party for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.02 and
taking any action and executing any instrument that the First Priority Agent may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.02, which appointment is irrevocable
and coupled with an interest. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit any Second
Priority Secured Party from receiving and retaining the purchase price paid to such Second Priority
Secured Party in the ordinary course of business for goods sold to any Grantor in the ordinary
course of business.
12
ARTICLE V
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings
SECTION 5.01. Bankruptcy Finance and Section 363 Matters. (a) In furtherance of this Agreement,
until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, the Supplier, on behalf of itself and
each of the Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding, the Second Priority Secured Parties: (i) will not oppose or object to the
use of any Collateral constituting cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any
comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, unless the First Priority Secured Parties, or a
representative authorized by the First Priority Secured Parties, shall oppose or object to such use
of cash collateral; (ii) (A) will not oppose or object to any post-petition financing provided to
any Grantor, whether provided by the First Priority Secured Parties or any other Person, under
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (a “DIP
Financing”), or the Liens securing any DIP Financing (“DIP Financing Liens”), unless the First
Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Priority Secured Parties,
shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens, (B) to the extent
that (x) such DIP Financing Liens are senior to, or rank pari passu with, the First Priority Liens
on the Collateral, and/or (y) the First Priority Claims are included as obligations under such DIP
Financing or are repaid with proceeds of the DIP Financing, the Second Priority Secured Parties
will subordinate the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral to the First Priority Liens on the
Collateral, if applicable, and the DIP Financing Liens (including if the First Priority Claims are
(x) included as obligations under such DIP Financing and/or (y) are repaid with proceeds of the DIP
Financing) on the terms of this Agreement; and (C) will not propose or support any DIP Financing to
any Grantor; (iii) will not propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise support any plan of
reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement; (iv)
except to the extent permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 5.01, in connection with
the use of cash collateral as described in clause (i) above or a DIP Financing, will not request
adequate protection with respect to any Collateral or any other relief in connection with such use
of cash collateral, DIP Financing or DIP Financing Liens; and (v) will not oppose or object to any
Disposition of any Collateral free and clear of the Second Priority Liens or other claims under
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, if the
First Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Priority Secured
Parties, shall consent to such Disposition.
(b) The Second Priority Secured Parties agree that they shall not, and shall not support any
other Person in contesting, (i) any request by the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority
Secured Party for adequate protection in respect of any First Priority Claims or (ii) any
objection, based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection with respect of any First Priority
Claims, by the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party to any motion,
relief, action or proceeding.
SECTION 5.02. Additional Bankruptcy Matters. The Second Priority Secured Parties agree that, so
long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred, no Second Priority Secured Party
shall, without the prior written consent of the First Priority Agent, seek or request relief from
or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
in respect of any part of the Collateral, any proceeds thereof or any Second Priority Lien on the
Collateral. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized
debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a
plan of reorganization or similar dispositive
13
restructuring plan, on account of the First Priority Claims and the Second Priority Claims, then,
to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Priority Claims and on
account of the Second Priority Claims are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the
provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to
such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. In addition,
Supplier, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, (x) agrees that no
Second Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Priority
Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding of First Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the
extent of the value of the First Priority Liens (it being understood and agreed that such value
shall be determined without regard to the existence of the Second Priority Liens on the
Collateral), (y) waives any claim any Second Priority Secured Party may hereafter have against any
First Priority Secured Party arising out of (a) the election by any First Priority Secured Party of
the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any
other Bankruptcy Law, or (b) any use of cash collateral or financing arrangement, or any grant of a
security interest in the Collateral, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (z) agrees
that, without the written consent of First Priority Agent, it will not seek to vote with the First
Priority Agent (or any other First Priority Secured Party) as a single class in connection with any
plan of reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. In addition, other than with
respect to the Second Priority Permitted Actions, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any
way limit the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party from opposing,
challenging or objecting to, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, any action
taken, or any claim made, by any Second Priority Secured Party with respect to the Collateral,
including any request by any Second Priority Secured Party for adequate protection or any exercise
by any Second Priority Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority
Financing Documents with respect to the Collateral or otherwise with respect to the Collateral.
ARTICLE VI
Other Agreements
SECTION 6.01. Effect of Refinancing of Indebtedness under First Priority Debt Documents. If,
substantially contemporaneously with the Discharge of First Priority Claims, the Grantors Refinance
Indebtedness outstanding under the First Priority Debt Documents and provided that the Company or
the First Priority Agent gives to Supplier or any of the other Second Priority Secured Parties
written notice (the “Refinancing Notice”) electing the application of the provisions of this
Section 6.01 to such Refinancing Indebtedness, then (i) such Discharge of First Priority
Claims shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, (ii)
such Refinancing Indebtedness and all other obligations under the documents evidencing such
Indebtedness (provided that the aggregate principal committed amount thereof shall not exceed
$150,000,000) (the “New First Priority Claims”) shall automatically be treated as First Priority
Claims for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights
in respect of Collateral set forth herein, (iii) the Debt Agreement and the other documents
evidencing such Refinancing Indebtedness (the “New First Priority Debt Documents”) shall
automatically be treated as the First Priority Debt Agreement and the First Priority Debt Documents
and, in the case of New First Priority Debt Documents that are security documents pursuant to which
any Grantor has granted a Lien to secure any New First Priority Claim, as the First Priority
Security Documents for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the collateral agent under the New
First Priority Debt Documents (the “New First Priority Agent”) shall be deemed to be the First
Priority Agent for all purposes of this Agreement and (v)
14
the lenders and other creditors under the New First Priority Debt Documents shall be deemed to be
the First Priority Creditors for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a Refinancing
Notice, which notice shall include the identity of the New First Priority Agent, the Second
Priority Secured Parties shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including
amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or such New First Priority Agent may
reasonably request in order to provide to the New First Priority Agent the rights and powers
contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this
Agreement. The Company shall cause the agreement, document or instrument pursuant to which the New
First Priority Agent is appointed to provide that the New First Priority Agent agrees to be bound
by the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.02. Reinstatement. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, all or
part of any payment with respect to the First Priority Claims previously made shall be rescinded
for any reason whatsoever, then the First Priority Claims shall be reinstated to the extent of the
amount so rescinded and, if theretofore terminated, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full
force and effect and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or
otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the relative rights and obligations of the First Priority
Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties provided for herein.
SECTION 6.03. Authorization of First Priority Collateral Agent and Supplier. By accepting the
benefits of this Agreement and the other First Priority Security Documents, each First Priority
Secured Party hereby authorizes the First Priority Agent to enter into this Agreement and to act on
its behalf as collateral agent hereunder and in connection herewith. By accepting the benefits of
this Agreement and the other Second Priority Financing Documents, each Second Priority Secured
Party authorizes Supplier to enter into this agreement and to act on its behalf as agent hereunder
and in connection therewith.
SECTION 6.04. Bailment for Perfection of Certain Security Interests. The First Priority Agent
agrees that if it shall at any time hold a First Priority Lien on any Collateral that can be
perfected or the priority of which can be enhanced by the possession or control of such Collateral
or of any account in which such Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such account is
in fact in the possession or under the control of the First Priority Agent, or of agents or bailees
of the First Priority Agent (such Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled
Collateral”), the First Priority Agent shall, solely for the purpose of perfecting the Second
Priority Liens granted under the Second Priority Financing Documents and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 6.04, also (i) hold and/or maintain control of such Pledged or
Controlled Collateral as gratuitous bailee for and representative (as defined in Section 1-201(35)
of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York) of, or as agent for, the
Second Priority Secured Parties, (ii) with respect to any securities accounts included in the
Collateral, have “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d)(3) of the UCC) of such
securities accounts on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties and (iii) with respect to any
deposit accounts included in the Collateral, act as agent for the Second Priority Secured Parties
and any assignee. So long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred, the First
Priority Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the other First Priority Debt Documents as if the Second
Priority Liens did not exist. The obligations and responsibilities of the First Priority Agent to
the Second Priority Secured Parties under this Section 6.04 shall be limited solely to
holding or controlling the Pledged or Controlled Collateral as gratuitous bailee and representative
(as defined in Section 1-201(35) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New
York) in accordance with this Section 6.04. Without limiting the foregoing, the First
15
Priority Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility to ensure that any Pledged or Controlled
Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors. The First Priority Agent acting pursuant to
this Section 6.04 shall not, by reason of this Agreement, any other Security Document or
any other document, have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other First Priority Secured
Party or any Second Priority Secured Party. Upon the Discharge of First Priority Claims, the First
Priority Agent shall transfer the possession and control of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral,
together with any necessary endorsements but without recourse or warranty, (i) if the Second
Priority Claims are outstanding at such time, to the Second Priority Secured Parties, if no Second
Priority Claims are outstanding at such time, to the applicable Grantor, in each case so as to
allow such Person to obtain possession and control of such Pledged or Controlled Collateral. In
connection with any transfer under clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the First
Priority Agent agrees, at the expense of the Grantors, to take all actions in its power as shall be
reasonably requested by the Second Priority Secured Parties to obtain a first priority security
interest in the Pledged or Controlled Collateral.
SECTION 6.05. Further Assurances. Each of the First Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of
the other First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties, and each Grantor
party hereto, for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries, agrees that it will execute, or will
cause to be executed, any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such
further actions, as may be required under any applicable law, or which the First Priority Agent or
the Second Priority Secured Parties may reasonably request, to effectuate the terms of this
Agreement, including the relative Lien priorities provided for herein.
ARTICLE VII
Representations and Warranties
SECTION 7.01. Representations and Warranties of Each Party. Each party hereto represents and
warrants to the other parties hereto as follows:
(a) such party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of

warranties made by any party in this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The terms of

Parties, hereby waive any and all rights the Second Priority Secured Parties may now or hereafter
have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement.
This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, (i) subject to compliance
with its obligations to take certain actions upon Discharge of the Second Priority Claims pursuant
to Article V and Section 3.01(c), with respect to the Second Priority Secured
Parties and the Second Priority Claims, upon the later of (1) the date upon which the obligations
under the Second Priority Financing Documents terminate if there are no other Second Priority

such date, the date upon which such Second Priority Claims terminate, subject to the rights of the
Second Priority Claims and Supplier under Section 6.01 and (ii) subject to Section
6.01 and compliance with its obligations to take certain actions upon Discharge of the First
Priority Claims pursuant to Article V, with respect to the First Priority Agent, the First Priority

subject to the rights of the First Priority Secured Parties under Section 6.01. In
addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the Lien priorities provided for herein and the respective
rights, interests, agreements and obligations hereunder of the First Priority Agent and the other
First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall remain in full force
and effect irrespective of: (a) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any portion of the First Priority Claims, it being specifically acknowledged
that a portion of the First Priority Claims consists or may consist of Indebtedness that is
revolving in nature, and the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to
time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed (provided that the aggregate
principal committed amount thereof shall not exceed $150,000,000); (b) any change in the time,
place or manner of payment of, or any other term of, all or any portion of the First Priority
Claims; (c) any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise,
of any Debt Document (provided that the aggregate principal committed amount thereof shall not
exceed $150,000,000); (d) the securing of any First Priority Claims or Second Priority Claims with
any additional collateral or guarantees, or any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or
non-perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral or any release of
any guarantee securing any First Priority Claims or Second Priority Claims; (e) the commencement of
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or Liquidation Sale in respect of the Company or any other
Grantor; or (f) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, the Company or any other Grantor in respect of the First Priority Claims or this
Agreement, or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of this Agreement.
19
SECTION 9.04. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other
jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as
close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 9.05. Amendments; Waivers. (a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.05, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the First Priority Agent and
Supplier.
SECTION 9.06. Postponement of Subrogation. The Second Priority Secured Parties agrees that no
payment or distribution to any First Priority Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement shall entitle any Second Priority Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in
respect thereof until the Discharge of First Priority Claims shall have occurred. Following the
Discharge of First Priority Claims, each First Priority Secured Party agrees to execute such
documents, agreements, and instruments as any Second Priority Secured Party may reasonably request
to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the First Priority
Claims resulting from payments or distributions to such First Priority Secured Party by such
Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements)
incurred in connection therewith by such First Priority Secured Party are paid by such Person upon
request for payment thereof.
SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF
ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Supreme Court for New York County, New York or
in The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined only in such New York court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.
Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action
20
or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it
may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New
York court or in any such Federal court. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of
any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 9.08. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS
IN THIS SECTION 9.08.
SECTION 9.09. Parties in Interest. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, as well as
the other First Priority Secured Parties and Second Priority Secured Parties, all of whom are
intended to be bound by, and to be third party beneficiaries of, this Agreement. No other Person
shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits hereunder.
SECTION 9.10. Specific Performance. Each of the First Priority Agent and Supplier may demand
specific performance of this Agreement and, on behalf of itself and the respective other Secured
Parties, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any
other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which
may be brought by the respective Secured Parties.
SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein and the Table of Contents hereto
are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the
construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as
provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by
facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this
Agreement.
21
SECTION 9.13. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are
and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the First Priority
Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Second Priority Secured Parties, on the other hand. None
of the Company, any other Grantor, any Guarantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any
rights or obligations, except as expressly provided in this Agreement hereunder and none of the
Company, any other Grantor or any Guarantor may rely on the terms hereof. Nothing in this
Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Company or any other Grantor or any
Guarantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the First Priority Claims and the Second
Priority Claims as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.
