2.1A(ii) and 2.1A(iii) and each Swing Line Lender hereby severally agrees to
make the Swing Line Loans as described in subsection 2.1A(iv).
(i) Tranche A Term

Commitment will be set forth in an allocation letter delivered to such Lender
and the aggregate amount of the Tranche A Term Loan Commitments is
$1,100,000,000; provided that the
amount of the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall be adjusted to
give effect to any assignment of such Tranche A Term Loan Commitment pursuant to
subsection 10.1B. Company may make only one borrowing under the
Tranche A Term Loan Commitments. Amounts borrowed under this
subsection 2.1A(i) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be
reborrowed.
(ii) Tranche B Term
Loans. Each Lender that has a Tranche B Term Loan Commitment
severally agrees to lend to Company on the Closing Date an amount in Dollars not
exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Tranche B Term Loan
Commitments to be used for the purposes identified in
subsection 2.5A. The amount of each Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan
Commitment will be set forth in an allocation letter delivered to such Lender

provided that
the amount of the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall be

borrowing under the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments. Amounts borrowed
under this subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not
be reborrowed.
(iii) Revolving
Loans. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees, subject to the
limitations set forth below with respect to the maximum amount of Revolving
Loans permitted to be outstanding from time to time, to lend to Company from
time to time during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the
Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date an aggregate amount in Dollars not
exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan
Commitments to be used for the purposes identified in
subsection 2.5B. The original amount of each Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Loan Commitment will be set forth in an allocation letter delivered to
such Lender and the original Revolving Loan Commitment Amount is $700,000,000;
provided that
the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be
adjusted to give effect to any assignment of such Revolving Loan Commitment
pursuant to subsection 10.1B and shall be reduced from time to time by the
amount of any reductions thereto made pursuant to
subsection 2.4. Each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan
Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and
all Revolving Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the
Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be paid in full no
later than that date. Amounts borrowed under this subsection
2.1A(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed to but excluding the Revolving Loan
Commitment Termination Date. Anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan
Commitments shall be subject to the limitation that in no event shall the Total
Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at any time exceed the Revolving Loan
Commitments then in effect. In addition, for purposes
of determining the amount available under the Revolving Loan
Commitments, Administrative Agent shall assume that the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Swing Line Loans of any Swing Line Lender other than Xxxxx
Fargo is equal to the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment of such
other Swing Line Lender.
(iv) Swing Line
Loans.
(a) General
Provisions. Each Swing Line Lender hereby severally agrees,
subject to the limitations set forth in the last sentence of subsection
2.1A(iii) and set forth below with respect to the maximum amount of Swing Line
Loans permitted to be outstanding from time to time, to make a portion of the
Revolving Loan Commitments available to Company from time to time during the
period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment
Termination Date by making Swing Line Loans to Company in an aggregate amount
not exceeding the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment to be used for the
purposes identified in subsection 2.5B, notwithstanding the fact that such
Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with each Swing Line Lender’s outstanding
Revolving Loans and each Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving
Letter of Credit Usage then in effect, may exceed such Swing Line Lender’s
Revolving Loan Commitment. The original amount of each Swing Line
Lender’s Swing Line Loan Commitment is $25,000,000 and the original amount of
the Swing Line Loan Commitments is $50,000,000; provided that should
a Swing Line Lender (other than Xxxxx Fargo) be terminated, Xxxxx Fargo’s Swing
Line Loan Commitment shall be increased to $50,000,000; provided further, that any
reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount made pursuant to
subsection 2.4 that reduces the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount to an
amount less than the then current amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment shall
result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the amount of the Swing Line
Loan Commitment to the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, as so
reduced, without any further action on the part of Company, Administrative Agent
or any Swing Line Lender. In the event that there are two Swing Line
Lenders at the time of such reduction, the Swing Line Loan Commitments of such
Swing Line Lenders shall be reduced on a pro rata
basis. The Swing Line Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving
Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Swing Line Loans and all other amounts
owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans shall be paid in full no
later than that date. Amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(iv)
may be repaid and reborrowed to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment
Termination Date.
(b) Swing Line Loan Prepayment
with Proceeds of Revolving Loans. With respect to any Swing
Line Loans that have not been voluntarily prepaid by Company pursuant to
subsection 2.4B(i), any Swing Line Lender may, at any time in its sole and
absolute discretion, deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Company),
no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the first Business Day in
advance of the proposed Funding Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a
Notice of Borrowing given by Company) requesting Revolving Lenders to make
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on such Funding Date in an amount equal
to the amount of such Swing Line Loans of such Swing Line Lender (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”)
outstanding on the date such notice is given. Company hereby
authorizes the giving of any such notice and the making of any such Revolving
Loans. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Revolving
Lenders other than such Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by
Administrative Agent to such Swing Line Lender (and not to Company) and applied
to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and
(2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, such Swing Line Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the
proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by such Swing Line Lender, and such portion of
the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as
Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note, if any,
of such Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of such Swing Line
Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans and shall be due under the Revolving Note,
if any, of such Swing Line Lender. If any portion of any such amount
paid (or deemed to be paid) to such Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or
on behalf of Company from such Swing Line Lender in any bankruptcy proceeding,
in any assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the
amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner
contemplated by subsection 10.5.
(c) Swing Line Loan
Assignments. On the Funding Date of each Swing Line Loan, each
Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, purchase an
assignment of such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata
Share. If for any reason (1) Revolving Loans are not made upon
the request of any Swing Line Lender through Administrative Agent as provided in
the immediately preceding paragraph in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts
owed to such Swing Line Lender in respect of such Swing Line Loan or
(2) the Revolving Loan Commitments are terminated at a time when such Swing
Line Loan is outstanding, upon notice from such Swing Line Lender through
Administrative Agent as provided below, each Revolving Lender shall fund the
purchase of such assignment in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share
(calculated, in the case of the foregoing clause (2) immediately prior to
such termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the unpaid amount of such
Swing Line Loan together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one
Business Day’s notice from such Swing Line Lender to Administrative Agent which
shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to each Revolving Lender,
each Revolving Lender shall deliver to such Swing Line Lender such amount in
same day funds at the Funding and Payment Office. In order to further
evidence such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the
assignment provisions set forth above), each Revolving Lender agrees to enter
into an Assignment Agreement at the request of such Swing Line Lender in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Swing Line Lender. In
the event any Revolving Lender fails to make available to any Swing Line Lender
any amount as provided in this paragraph, such Swing Line Lender shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together
with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by such Swing Line Lender for
the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at
the Base Rate. In the event any Swing Line Lender receives a payment
of any amount with respect to which other Revolving Lenders have funded the
purchase of assignments as provided in this paragraph, such Swing Line Lender
shall promptly distribute to each such other Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share
of such payment.
(d) Revolving Lenders’
Obligations. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for
the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to subsection
2.1A(iv)(b) and each Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase an assignment of
any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against any Swing Line
Lender, Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the
occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of
Default; (3) the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect; (4) any
breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or
(5) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such
obligations of each Revolving Lender are subject to the condition that
(y) such Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under
Section 4 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or
other unpaid Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, were satisfied at the time
such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made or
(z) the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived in
accordance with subsection 10.6 prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing
Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made.
(e) Accounts Maintained with
Swing Line Lenders.
(1) So long
as any Sweep Agreement between Company and a Swing Line Lender is in full force
and effect, Company and such Swing Line Lender may utilize procedures agreed to
and set forth in the Sweep Agreement by which Company may request and such Swing
Line Lender may disburse Swing Line Loans, including crediting one or more of
Company’s deposit accounts with the proceeds of Swing Line Loans and debiting
one or more of Company’s deposit accounts and applying the proceeds of such
debits to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans, all pursuant to the terms and
provisions of the Sweep Agreement. Administrative Agent and Lenders
hereby acknowledge and agree that such Swing Line Lender may utilize any such
procedures agreed upon by Company and such Swing Line Lender even though such
procedures are different than the procedures set forth in subsection
2.1A(iv)(e)(2) and 2.1B and do not require Company to provide a Notice of
Borrowing.
(2) If at any
time the amounts to be drawn on (A) that certain concentration account of
Company maintained with Xxxxx Fargo as a Swing Line Lender (and regardless of
whether Company maintains a Sweep Agreement with Xxxxx Fargo as a Swing Line
Lender) or (B) that certain concentration account of Company maintained with
LaSalle Bank National Association, or its successor, Bank of America, N.A., as a
Swing Line Lender shall exceed the funds deposited in such account,
(1) Company shall be deemed to have delivered a timely executed Notice of
Borrowing to such Swing Line Lender requesting such Swing Line Lender to make a
Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall, and
(2) such Swing Line Lender shall make a Swing Line Loan to Company in the
amount of such shortfall, the proceeds of which shall be deposited into such
account and shall be deemed to have been applied to eliminate such shortfall
prior to such draws being made; provided that so long
as any Swing Line Loans of such Swing Line Lender are outstanding pursuant to
this subsection, all funds on deposit in such account shall be applied on a
daily basis to the prepayment of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount
of such Swing Line Loans until such Swing Line Loans have been prepaid in
full.
(v) Tranche C Term Loan
Commitments. Company may, at any time from and after the
Closing Date but prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, request an
increase in the then effective aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan
Commitments; provided that (a) the
aggregate principal amount of the Tranche C Term Loan Commitments pursuant to
this subsection 2.1A(v) shall not exceed $300,000,000, (b) Company shall execute
and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be
reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with such Tranche C
Term Loan Commitments, (c) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur after giving effect to such
Tranche C Term Loan Commitments, (d) Company and its Subsidiaries shall be in
compliance, on a pro forma basis, with each of the financial covenants specified
in subsection 7.6 as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter
before and after giving effect to such Tranche C Term Loan Commitments; (e) the
Tranche C Term Loans made under this subsection 2.1A(v) shall have a maturity
date no earlier than the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date and shall have a
weighted average life to maturity no earlier than the weighted average life to
maturity applicable to the Tranche B Term Loans made under subsection 2.1A(ii),
and (f) all other terms and conditions with respect to the Tranche C Term Loans
made pursuant to this subsection 2.1A(v) (other than pricing) shall be
reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. The request under this
subsection 2.1A(v) shall be submitted by Company to Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly forward copies to all existing Lenders).
At the
time of sending such request, Company (in consultation with Administrative
Agent) shall specify the time period within which each existing Lender is
requested to respond (which in no event shall be more than ten Business Days
from the date of delivery of such request). Company may also specify
any fees offered to those existing Lenders or new lenders (collectively, the
“Tranche C Lenders”)
which agree to make a Tranche C Term Loan Commitment, which fees may be variable
based upon the amount of any such Tranche C Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan
Commitment. No existing Lender shall have any obligation, express or
implied, to make any Tranche C Term Loan Commitment. Only the consent
of each Tranche C Lender shall be required for an increase in the aggregate
principal amount of the Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this subsection
2.1A(v). No existing Lender which declines to make a Tranche C Term
Loan Commitment may be replaced with respect to its existing Commitment as a
result thereof without such Lender’s consent.
Each
existing Lender that has agreed to make a Tranche C Term Loan Commitment shall
notify Administrative Agent within the time period specified above of the amount
of the proposed Tranche C Term Loan Commitment that it is willing to make and
Company shall accept the offered amount of each such existing Lender up to such
existing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Tranche C Term
Loan Commitments as in effect prior to giving effect to any Tranche C Term Loan
Commitment. In the event that the Tranche C Term Loan Commitments of
the existing Lenders accepted by Company are less than the amount of the
requested increase in the Term Loan Commitments, Company may accept some or all
of the offered amounts of each existing Lender in excess of such Lenders’ Pro
Rata Share or designate new lenders that qualify as Eligible Assignees and that
are reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent as additional Tranche C
Lenders hereunder in accordance with this subsection 2.1A(v). Subject
to the rights of the existing Lenders set forth above, Company and
Administrative Agent shall have discretion jointly to adjust the allocation of
the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche C Term Loan Commitments among
Tranche C Lenders.
Subject
to the foregoing, the increase in the Term Loan Commitments requested by Company
shall be effective (the “Tranche C Term Loan Commitment
Effective Date”) upon delivery to Administrative Agent of each of the
following documents: (i) an originally executed copy of an instrument
of joinder signed by a duly authorized officer of each Tranche C Lender, in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, setting forth,
among other things, the interest rate, maturity date and amortization schedule
of Tranche C Term Loans; (ii) a Notice of Borrowing, signed by a duly authorized
officer of Company; (iii) an Officer’s Certificate of Company, in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent as to the authority of
the officer executing the instrument of joinder on behalf of Company and all
conditions to such increase having been satisfied; (iv) to the extent requested
by any Tranche C Lender, executed Tranche C Term Notes issued by Company in
accordance with subsection 2.1E; and (v) any other certificates or documents
that Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. The Tranche C Term
Loan Commitments shall be in a principal amount equal to (A) the principal
amount of Tranche C Term Loan Commitments made by existing Lenders and accepted
by Company in accordance with this subsection 2.1A(v) plus (B) the
principal amount of Tranche C Term Loan Commitments made by additional Tranche C
Lenders, in either case as adjusted by Company and Administrative Agent pursuant
to this subsection 2.1A(v). Upon effectiveness of such increase, the
Commitments and Pro Rata Share of each Lender will be adjusted to give effect to
the Tranche C Term Loan Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in subsection 10.6, Administrative Agent is expressly permitted to
amend the Loan Documents to the extent necessary to give effect to the Tranche C
Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.1A(v).
B. Borrowing
Mechanics. Loans made as Base Rate Loans on any Funding Date
(other than Swing Line Loans, Revolving Loans made pursuant to a request by any
Swing Line Lender pursuant to subsection 2.1A(iv) or Revolving Loans made
pursuant to subsection 3.3B) shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of
$5,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that
amount. Loans made as Eurodollar Rate Loans on any Funding Date with
a particular Interest Period shall be in an aggregate minimum amount equal to or
in excess of $5,000,000. Swing Line Loans made on any Funding Date
may be in any aggregate amount. Whenever Company desires that Lenders
make Term Loans or Revolving Loans it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a
duly executed Notice of Borrowing no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City
time) at least (i) three Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding
Date (in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan) or (ii) one Business Day in
advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Base Rate
Loan). Whenever Company desires that any Swing Line Lender make a
Swing Line Loan (other than pursuant to subsection 2.1A(iv)(e)), it shall
deliver to such Swing Line Lender at the Swing Line Funding and Payment Office a
duly executed Notice of Borrowing no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on the proposed Funding Date. Term Loans and Revolving Loans
may be continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans
in the manner provided in subsection 2.2D. In lieu of delivering
a Notice of Borrowing, Company may give Administrative Agent (or in the case of
Swing Line Loans, such Swing Line Lender) telephonic notice by the required time
of any proposed borrowing under this subsection 2.1B; provided that such
notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a duly executed
Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent (and such Swing Line Lender, in the
case of Swing Line Loans) on or before the applicable Funding Date.
Neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender (including any Swing Line Lender) shall
incur any liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to
above that Administrative Agent (or any Swing Line Lender, as applicable)
believes in good faith to have been given by an Officer or other Person
authorized to borrow on behalf of Company or for otherwise acting in good faith
under this subsection 2.1B or under subsection 2.2D, and upon funding
of Loans by Lenders, and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis
for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans pursuant to
subsection 2.2D, in each case in accordance with this Agreement, pursuant
to any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected Loans or a conversion
or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.
Company
shall notify Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Swing Line Loans, an
applicable Swing Line Lender) prior to the funding of any Loans in the event
that any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the
applicable Notice of Borrowing is no longer true and correct in all material
respects as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by Company of the
proceeds of any Loans shall constitute a re-certification by Company, as of the
applicable Funding Date, as to the matters to which Company is required to
certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.
Except as
otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a Notice of
Borrowing for, or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or
continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof)
shall be irrevocable on and after the date such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, is delivered and Company shall be
bound to make a borrowing or to effect a conversion or continuation in
accordance therewith.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.1B, no initial Tranche B Term
Loans may be made as Eurodollar Rate Loans and no Tranche B Term Loans may be
converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan until the third Business Day after the
Closing Date.
C. Disbursement of
Funds. All Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be made by
Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares,
it being understood that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be
responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s
obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the amount of the
Commitment of any Lender to make the particular type of Loan requested or Pro
Rata Share of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by
any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder. Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of a Notice
of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.1B (or telephonic notice in lieu
thereof), Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender for that type of
Loan. Each such Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to
Administrative Agent at the Funding and Payment Office not later than
12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date in same day
funds in Dollars. Except as provided in subsection 2.1A(iv) and
subsection 3.3B with respect to Revolving Loans used to repay Refunded
Swing Line Loans or to reimburse any Issuing Lender for the amount of a drawing
under a Revolving Letter of Credit issued by it, upon satisfaction or waiver of
the conditions precedent specified in subsections 4.1 (in the case of Loans
made on the Closing Date) and 4.2 (in the case of all Loans), Administrative
Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans available to Company on the
applicable Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal
to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders
to be credited to the account designated by Company in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing.
Promptly
after receipt by any Swing Line Lender of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to
subsection 2.1B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), such Swing Line
Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Company not
later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date,
in each case in same day funds in Dollars, at the Swing Line Funding and Payment
Office. Except as set forth in subsection 2.1A(iv)(e), such Swing
Line Lender shall make the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan available to Company
on the applicable Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds, in
Dollars, equal to the proceeds of such Swing Line Loan to be credited to the
account designated by Company in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing.
Unless
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to a Funding
Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent
the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Funding Date, Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to
Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and Administrative Agent may, in its
sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Company a
corresponding amount on such Funding Date. If such corresponding
amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender,
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on
demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such
Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the
customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among
banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If
such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative
Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company and
Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent
together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the
date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable under this
Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this subsection 2.1C
shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its
Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Company may have against
any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
D. The
Register. Administrative Agent, acting for these purposes
solely as an agent of Company (it being acknowledged that Administrative Agent,
in such capacity, and its officers, directors, employees, agent and affiliates
shall constitute Indemnitees under subsection 10.3), shall maintain (and
make available for inspection by Company and any Joint-Lead Arranger upon
reasonable prior notice at reasonable times) at its address referred to in
subsection 10.8 a register for the recordation of, and shall record, the
names and addresses of Lenders and the respective amounts of the Tranche A Term
Loan Commitment, Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, Tranche C Term Loan
Commitment, Revolving Loan Commitment, Swing Line Loan Commitment,
Tranche A Term Loan, Tranche B Term Loan, Tranche C Term Loan, Revolving Loans
and Swing Line Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). Company,
Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as
Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding
Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof; all amounts owed
with respect to any Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the
Register as the owner thereof; and any request, authority or consent of any
Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or
consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding
on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding
Commitments or Loans. Each Lender shall record on its internal
records the amount of its Loans and Commitments and each payment in respect
hereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company,
absent manifest error, subject to the entries in the Register, which shall,
absent manifest error, govern in the event of any inconsistency with any
Lender’s records. Failure to make any recordation in the Register or
in any Lender’s records, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any
Loans or Commitments or any Obligations in respect of any Loans.
E. Optional Notes. If
so requested by any Lender by written notice to Company at least two Business
Days prior to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, Company shall execute
and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such
notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to
subsection 10.1) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after
the Closing Date, promptly after Company’s receipt of such notice) a promissory
note or promissory notes to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loans, Tranche A
Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans or Swing Line Loans,
substantially in the form of Exhibit V, Exhibit VI,
Exhibit VII,
Exhibit VIII,
and Exhibit IX,
annexed hereto, respectively, with appropriate insertions.
Interest on the
Loans.
|
A. Rate of
Interest. Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.6
and 2.7, each Term Loan and each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the
unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or
the Eurodollar Rate. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7,
each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof
from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a
rate determined by reference to the Base Rate. The applicable basis
for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Term Loan or any
Revolving Loan shall be selected by Company initially at the time a Notice of
Borrowing is given with respect to such Loan pursuant to subsection 2.1B,
and the basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Term Loan or
any Revolving Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to
subsection 2.2D; provided, however, that Loans
made on the Closing Date shall be Base Rate Loans. If on any day a
Term Loan or Revolving Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not
been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest,
then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the
Base Rate.
(i) Subject
to the provisions of subsections 2.2E, 2.2G and 2.7, the Tranche A Term
Loans and the Revolving Loans shall bear interest through maturity as
follows:
(a) if a Base
Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Base Rate plus the Base Rate
Margin set forth in the table below opposite the applicable Consolidated
Leverage Ratio for the four Fiscal Quarter period for which the applicable
Pricing Certificate has been delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(iv);
or
(b) if a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus the Eurodollar
Rate Margin set forth in the table below opposite the applicable Consolidated
Leverage Ratio for the four Fiscal Quarter period for which the applicable
Pricing Certificate has been delivered pursuant to
subsection 6.1(iv):

B. Interest
Periods. In connection with each Eurodollar Rate Loan, Company
may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an
“Interest Period”) to be
applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at Company’s option,
either a one, two, three, six or, if deposits in the interbank Eurodollar market
are generally available for such period (as determined by each Lender making,
converting to or continuing such Eurodollar Rate Loan), nine or twelve-month
period; provided
that:
(i) the
initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the
Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a
Eurodollar Rate Loan or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted to a Eurodollar Rate
Loan;
(ii) in the
case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Eurodollar Rate
Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, each
successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding
Interest Period expires;
(iii) if an
Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such
Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if any
Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but
is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month,
such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business
Day;
(iv) any
Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on
a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month
at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this

month;
(v) no

(vi) no
Interest Period with respect to any type of Term Loans shall extend beyond a
date on which Company is required to make a scheduled payment of principal of
such type of Term Loans unless the sum of (a) the aggregate principal
amount of such type of Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus (b) the
aggregate principal amount of such type of Term Loans that are Eurodollar Rate
Loans with Interest Periods expiring on or before such date equals or exceeds
the principal amount required to be paid on such type of Term Loans on such
date;
(vii) there
shall be no more than ten Interest Periods outstanding at any time;
and
(viii) in the
event Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan
in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation,
Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month.
C. Interest
Payments. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2E,
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest
Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any prepayment of that Loan (to the
extent accrued on the amount being prepaid), and at maturity (including final
maturity); provided that in the
event any Swing Line Loans or any Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans are
prepaid pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i), interest accrued on such Loans through
the date of such prepayment shall be payable on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date applicable to Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final
maturity).
D. Conversion or
Continuation. Subject to the provisions of
subsection 2.6, Company shall have the option (i) to convert at any
time all or any part of its outstanding Term Loans equal to or in excess of
$5,000,000 or all or any part of its outstanding Revolving Loans equal to
$5,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from Loans
bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing
interest at a rate determined by reference to an alternative basis or
(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar
Rate Loan that is a Term Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal
to or in excess of $5,000,000 as a Eurodollar Rate Loan or upon the expiration
of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan that is a Revolving
Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan;
provided, however, that a
Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the
expiration date of an Interest Period applicable thereto.
Company
shall deliver a duly executed Notice of Conversion/Continuation to
Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least
(i) one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the
case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) or (ii) three Business Days in
advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a
conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). In lieu
of delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company may give
Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed
conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D; provided that such
notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a duly executed
Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent on or before the
proposed conversion/continuation date. Administrative Agent shall
notify each Lender of any Loan subject to a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation.
Except as
otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate
Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable and Company
shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance
therewith.
E. Default Rate. From
and after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default,
upon notice by Administrative Agent at the direction of Requisite Lenders, the
outstanding principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and any fees and
other amounts then due and payable hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or
other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon demand by Administrative Agent at
a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable
under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of
any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of
the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans);
provided that,
in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period
in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall
thereafter bear interest payable upon demand by Administrative Agent at a rate
which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under
this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the
increased rates of interest provided for in this subsection 2.2E is not a
permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any
Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of
Administrative Agent or any Lender.
F. Computation of
Interest. Interest on the Loans shall be computed (i) in
the case of Base Rate Loans, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the
case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of
a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period
during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date
of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to
such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar
Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate
Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such
Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or,
with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the
date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the
case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a
Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be
paid on that Loan.
G. Maximum
Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
subsection 2.2, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by Company
with respect to any Loan exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be
charged under applicable law.
Fees.

A. Commitment
Fees. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for
distribution to each Revolving Lender in proportion to that Lender’s Pro Rata
Share, commitment fees for the period from and including the Closing Date to and

commitment fee percentage shall be adjusted, such adjustment to become effective
on the third succeeding Business Day following the receipt by Administrative
Agent of such Pricing Certificate; provided that, if at
any time a Pricing Certificate is not delivered at the time required pursuant to

date of prepayment, which notice, if telephonic, shall be promptly confirmed in
writing, at any time and from time to time prepay any Swing Line Loan of that
Swing Line Lender on any Business Day in whole or in part in any aggregate
amount. Company may, upon not less than one Business Day’s prior
written or telephonic notice, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and three Business
Days’ prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans,
in each case given to Administrative Agent by 2:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in
writing to Administrative Agent, who will promptly notify each Lender whose
Loans are to be prepaid of such prepayment, at any time and from time to time
prepay, without premium or penalty (except as provided in subsection 2.6D),
any Term Loans or Revolving Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an
aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of
that amount. All written notices delivered pursuant to this
subsection 2.4B(i) shall be in the form of a Notice of Prepayment and all
notices whether written or telephonic delivered pursuant to this subsection
2.4B(i) shall be irrevocable, and once given as aforesaid, the principal amount
of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the
prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment
shall be applied as specified in subsection 2.4B(iv).
(ii) Voluntary Reductions of
Revolving Loan Commitments. Company may, upon not less than
five Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to
Administrative Agent or upon such lesser number of days’ prior written or
telephonic notice, as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion,
at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in
part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount in an
amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount exceeds

termination or reduction; provided that any
such partial reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be in an
aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess of
that amount. Company’s notice to Administrative Agent (who will
promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such notice) shall designate the date
(which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount
of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction shall be effective
on the date specified in Company’s notice and shall reduce the amount of the
Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender proportionately to its Pro
Rata Share. In addition, Company may, upon not less than five
Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to
Administrative Agent or upon such lesser number of days’ prior written or
telephonic notice, as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion,

part, without premium or penalty, the Swing Line Loan Commitment; provided that any
such partial reduction of the Swing Line Loan Commitment shall be in an
aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess of
that amount. Company’s notice to Administrative Agent (who will
promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such notice) shall designate the date
(which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount
of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction shall be effective
on the date specified in Company’s notice and shall reduce the amount of the
Swing Line Loan Commitment of each Swing Line Lender
proportionately.
(iii) Mandatory
Prepayments. The Loans shall be prepaid in the amounts and
under the circumstances set forth below, all such prepayments to be applied as
set forth below or as more specifically provided in
subsection 2.4B(iv) and subsection 2.4D:
(a) Prepayments From Net Asset
Sale Proceeds. No later than the fifth Business Day following
the date of receipt by Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Asset Sale
Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale, Company shall either (1) prepay the Loans
in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sale Proceeds or (2), so long as
no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and to the extent that aggregate Net Asset Sale Proceeds from the
Closing Date through the date of determination do not exceed $50,000,000,
deliver to Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth
(A) that portion of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds that Company or such
Subsidiary intends to (x) reinvest in equipment or other productive assets of
the general type used in the business of Company and its Subsidiaries or
reasonably similar or related to the nature or type of property and assets of
Company and its Subsidiaries or (y) invest in a Person having property or assets
of a similar nature or type as, or engaged in a similar business as, Company and
its Subsidiaries, in each case within 365 days of such date of receipt and (B)
the proposed use of such portion of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds and such other
information with respect to such reinvestment as Administrative Agent may
reasonably request, and Company shall, or shall cause one or more of its
Subsidiaries to, promptly and diligently apply such portion to such reinvestment
purposes. In addition, Company shall, no later than 365 days after
receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds that have not theretofore been applied
to the Obligations or that have not been so reinvested as provided above, make
an additional prepayment of the Loans in the full amount of all such Net Asset
Sale Proceeds.
(b) Prepayments from Net
Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. No later than the fifth
Business Day following the date of receipt by Administrative Agent or by Company
or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net
Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds that are required to be applied to prepay the
Loans pursuant to the provisions of subsection 6.4C, Company shall prepay
the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Net
Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds.
(c) Prepayments Due to Issuance
of Equity Securities. No later than the fifth Business Days
following the date of receipt of the Net Securities Proceeds from the issuance
of any Capital Stock of Company or of any Subsidiary of Company (other than (1)
the issuance of such Capital Stock (A) to finance a Permitted Acquisition, (B)
to directors and employees of Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to written
employee benefit plans approved by Company’s Governing Body and pursuant to the
exercise of options or warrants issued under any such plan, (C) to Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, (D) to qualify members of a Governing Body of any such
Subsidiary if required by applicable law or (E) on a pro rata basis to the
equity holders of a non-wholly owned Subsidiary; or (2) any capital contribution
to Company or any Subsidiary of Company by any holder of Capital Stock thereof
after the Closing Date), Company shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount
equal to 50% of such Net Securities Proceeds; provided that (A)
such percentage shall be reduced to 0% if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of
the last day of the immediately preceding four-Fiscal Quarter period is less
than 2.50:1.00 and (B) such percentage shall equal 100% at any time after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
(d) Prepayments Due to Issuance
of Indebtedness. No later than the fifth Business Day
following the date of receipt of the Net Securities Proceeds from the issuance
of any Indebtedness of Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing
Date, other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to subsection 7.1, Company
shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net
Securities Proceeds; provided that (A)
such percentage shall be reduced to 50% if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of
the last day of the immediately preceding four-Fiscal Quarter period is less
than 2.50:1.00 and (B) such percentage shall equal 100% at any time after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
(e) Prepayments from
Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. In the event that there shall
be Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with Fiscal
Year 2008), Company shall, no later than 100 days after the end of such Fiscal
Year, prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of such Consolidated
Excess Cash Flow; provided that (A)
such percentage shall be reduced to 0% if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of
the last day of such Fiscal Year is less than 2.50:1.00 and (B) such
percentage shall equal 100% at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default.
(f) Calculations of Net Proceeds
Amounts; Additional Prepayments Based on Subsequent
Calculations. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans
pursuant to subsections 2.4B(iii)(a)-(e), Company shall deliver to
Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate demonstrating the calculation of
the amount of the applicable Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance/Condemnation
Proceeds, Net Securities Proceeds, or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, as the case
may be, that gave rise to such prepayment. In the event that Company
shall subsequently determine that the actual amount was greater than the amount
set forth in such Officer’s Certificate, Company shall promptly make an
additional prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such
excess, and Company shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent
an Officer’s Certificate demonstrating the derivation of the additional amount
resulting in such excess.
(g) Prepayments Due to
Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitment Amount. Company shall
from time to time prepay first the Swing Line Loans and second the Revolving
Loans (and, after prepaying all Revolving Loans, Cash collateralize any
outstanding Revolving Letters of Credit by depositing the requisite amount in
the Collateral Account) to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of
Revolving Loan Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount then in effect. For purposes of calculating the
Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments, any Revolving Letters of Credit
denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be valued by Administrative
Agent based on the applicable Exchange Rate for such currency as of the
applicable date of determination once per calendar quarter or at such other
times as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent.
(iv) Application of
Prepayments.
(a) Application of Voluntary
Prepayments by Type of Loans and Order of Maturity. Any
voluntary prepayments pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i) shall be applied as
specified by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided that in the
event Company fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment shall be
applied, such prepayment shall be applied first, to repay
outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof, second, to repay
outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof and third, to repay
outstanding Term Loans to the full extent thereof. Any voluntary
prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i) shall be
applied to prepay the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans and the
Tranche C Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in
accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) and to
reduce the scheduled installments of principal of the Tranche A Term Loans,
Tranche B Term Loans and Tranche C Term Loans in forward chronological
order.
(b) Application of Mandatory
Prepayments by Type of Loans. Except as provided in
subsection 2.4D, any amount required to be applied as a mandatory
prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsections 2.4B(iii)(a)-(f) shall be
applied first
to prepay the Term Loans to the full extent thereof, second, to the extent
of any remaining portion of such amount, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the
full extent thereof, and third, to the extent
of any remaining portion of such amount, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the
full extent thereof.
(c) Application of Mandatory
Prepayments of Term Loans to Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche
C Term Loans and the Scheduled Installments of Principal
Thereof. Except as provided in subsection 2.4D, any
mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to
subsection 2.4B(iii) shall be applied to prepay the Tranche A Term
Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche C Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in
accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) and shall
be applied on a pro
rata
basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof)
to each scheduled installment of principal of the Tranche A Term Loans, the
Tranche B Term Loans or the Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, that is
unpaid at the time of such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of any mandatory prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans or the Tranche C
Term Loans, Lenders of the Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche C Term Loans may
waive the right to receive the amount of such mandatory prepayment of the
Tranche B Term Loans or Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be. If
any Lender or Lenders elect to waive the right to receive the amount of such
mandatory prepayment, 50% of the amount that otherwise would have been applied
to mandatorily prepay the Tranche B Term Loans or the Tranche C Term Loans, as
the case may be, of such Lender or Lenders shall be applied instead to the
further prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans to the extent any are then
outstanding.
(d) Application of Prepayments
to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Considering Term
Loans and Revolving Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall
be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before
application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes
the amount of any payments required to be made by Company pursuant to
subsection 2.6D.
C. General Provisions Regarding
Payments.
(i) Manner and Time of
Payment. All payments by Company of principal, interest, fees
and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without
defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and
delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on the date due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of
Lenders; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date
shall be deemed to have been paid by Company on the next succeeding Business
Day.
(ii) Application of Payments to
Principal and Interest. Except as provided in
subsection 2.2C, all payments in respect of the principal amount of any
Loan shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being
repaid or prepaid, and all such payments shall be applied to the payment of
interest before application to principal.
(iii) Apportionment of
Payments. Aggregate principal and interest payments in respect
of the Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be apportioned among all outstanding
Loans to which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to Lenders’
respective Pro Rata Shares; provided that all
payments in respect of Revolving Loans shall first be applied in the following
priority to repay any amount owing to (a) first, Swing Line
Lenders proportionately to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Swing Line Loans of each Swing Line Lender due to the failure of any Revolving
Lender to (1) fund a Revolving Loan for the purpose of repaying any Refunded
Swing Line Loan pursuant to subsection 2.1A(iv)(b) or (2) purchase an assignment
of an unpaid Swing Line Loan pursuant to subsection 2.1A(iv)(c), and (b) second, Issuing
Lender due to the failure of any Revolving Lender to (1) fund a Revolving Loan
for the purpose of repaying any unreimbursed amounts of a drawing under a
Revolving Letter of Credit pursuant to subsection 3.3B or (2) fund a
participation in any such unreimbursed Revolving Letter of Credit drawing
pursuant to subsection 3.3C. Administrative Agent shall promptly
distribute to each Lender, at the account specified in the payment instructions
delivered to Administrative Agent by such Lender, its Pro Rata Share of all such
payments received by Administrative Agent and the commitment fees and letter of
credit fees of such Lender, if any, when received by Administrative Agent
pursuant to subsections 2.3 and 3.2. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4C(iii), if, pursuant to the
provisions of subsection 2.6C, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is
withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate
Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative
Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning interest payments received
thereafter.
(iv) Payments on Business
Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be
stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made
on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included
in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment
fees hereunder, as the case may be.
(v) Notation of
Payment. Each Lender agrees that before disposing of any Note
held by it, or any part thereof (other than by granting participations therein),
that Lender will make a notation thereon of all Loans evidenced by that Note and
all principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which interest
thereon has been paid; provided that the
failure to make (or any error in the making of) a notation of any Loan made
under such Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Company
hereunder or under such Note with respect to any Loan or any payments of
principal or interest on such Note.
D. Application of Proceeds of Collateral
and Payments after Event of Default.
Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if requested by
Requisite Lenders, or upon acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to
Section 8, (a) all payments received by Administrative Agent, whether
from Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise, and (b) all proceeds
received by Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral under any Collateral
Document may, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, be held by
Administrative Agent as Collateral (unless Requisite Lenders direct
Administrative Agent to apply such proceeds in full or in part), and/or (then or
at any time thereafter) applied in full or in part by Administrative Agent, in
each case in the following order of priority:
(i) to the
payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization,
all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Administrative
Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Administrative Agent is
entitled to compensation (including the fees described in subsection 2.3 and
reasonable compensation to Administrative Agent’s agents and counsel),
reimbursement and indemnification under any Loan Document and all advances made
by Administrative Agent thereunder for the account of the applicable Loan Party,
and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Administrative
Agent in connection with the Loan Documents, all in accordance with
subsections 9.4, 10.2 and 10.3 and the other terms of this Agreement and
the Loan Documents;
(ii) thereafter,
to the payment of all other Obligations and obligations of Loan Parties under
any Hedge Agreement between a Loan Party and a Swap Counterparty for the ratable
benefit of the holders thereof (subject to the provisions of subsection
2.4C(ii)); and
(iii) thereafter,
to the payment to or upon the order of such Loan Party or to whosoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may direct.
Use of
Proceeds.
|
A. Term Loans. The
proceeds of the Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans shall be applied
by Company to fund the Acquisition Financing Requirements. The
proceeds of the Tranche C Term Loans shall be applied by Company for working
capital and other general corporate purposes.
B. Revolving Loans; Swing Line
Loans. The proceeds of any Revolving Loans in the amount not
exceeding $50,000,000 may be applied by Company to fund the Acquisition
Financing Requirements. The proceeds of any remaining Revolving Loans
and any Swing Line Loans shall be applied by Company for working capital and
other general corporate purposes.
C. Margin
Regulations. No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under
this Agreement shall be used by Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any manner
that might cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to violate
Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board or
to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of
such borrowing and such use of proceeds.
Special Provisions
Governing Eurodollar Rate
Loans.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions
shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as to the matters
covered:
A. Determination of Applicable Interest
Rate. On each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative
Agent shall determine in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon all
parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for
which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest
Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to Company and each applicable Lender.
B. Inability to Determine Applicable
Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall
have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date, that by reason of
circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do
not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the
basis provided for in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate,” Administrative Agent
shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in
writing) to Company and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no
Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as
Administrative Agent notifies Company and Lenders that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice no longer exist and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to the Loans in
respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be for a Base
Rate Loan.
C. Illegality or Impracticability of
Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any
Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with
Company and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation
of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of
compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule,
regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty,
governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law
even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful)
or
(ii) has
become impracticable, or would cause such Lender material hardship, as a result
of contingencies occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and
adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in
that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall
on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing)
to Company and Administrative Agent of such
determination. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each other
Lender of the receipt of such notice. Thereafter (a) the
obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to,
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by
the Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such determination by the Affected
Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the
Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as the case
may be) a Base Rate Loan, (c) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain
its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be
terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then
in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and
(d) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on
the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the
extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall have the option,
subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, to rescind such Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation as to all Lenders by giving
notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative
Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice
of its determination as described above. Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each other Lender of the receipt of such
notice. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence,
nothing in this subsection 2.6C shall affect the obligation of any Lender
other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans
to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
D. Compensation For Breakage or
Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Company shall compensate
each Lender, upon written request by that Lender pursuant to
subsection 2.8, for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities
(including any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it
to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any reasonable loss, expense or
liability sustained by that Lender in connection with the liquidation or
re-employment of such funds) which that Lender may
sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that
Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date
specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request therefor, or
a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, does not occur on a
date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic
request therefor, (ii) if any prepayment (including any prepayment pursuant
to subsection 2.4B(i) or 2.4B(iii)) or other principal payment or any conversion
of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (including any prepayment or conversion
occasioned by the circumstances described in subsection 2.6C) occurs on a date
prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan,
(iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on
any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Company, or (iv) as a
consequence of any other default by Company in the repayment of its Eurodollar
Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement.
E. Booking of Eurodollar Rate
Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate
Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of
an Affiliate of that Lender.
F. Assumptions Concerning Funding of
Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a
Lender under this subsection 2.6 and under subsection 2.7A shall be
made as though that Lender had funded each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans through
the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained
pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” in an amount
equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity
comparable to the relevant Interest Period, whether or not its Eurodollar Rate
Loans had been funded in such manner.
G. Eurodollar Rate Loans After
Default. After the occurrence of and during the continuation
of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, (i) Company may not
elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted to, a Eurodollar
Rate Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for that
Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, any Notice
of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect
to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred
shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan or, if the conditions to making a
Loan set forth in subsection 4.2 cannot then be satisfied, to be rescinded
by Company.
Increased Costs;
Taxes; Capital
Adequacy.
|
A. Compensation for Increased
Costs. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7B
(which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the
event that any Lender (including any Issuing Lender) shall reasonably determine
(which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto) that any Change in Law:
(i) subjects
such Lender to any additional tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder (including with respect to issuing
or maintaining any Letters of Credit or purchasing or maintaining any
participations therein or maintaining any Commitment hereunder) or any payments
to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable
hereunder (except for the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax payable by such Lender);
(ii) imposes,
modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or
other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other
credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such
Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to
Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of “Eurodollar
Rate”); or
(iii) imposes
any other condition (other than with respect to Taxes) on or affecting such
Lender or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market;
and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of
agreeing to make, making or maintaining its Loans or Commitments or agreeing to
issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or agreeing to purchase,
purchasing or maintaining any participation therein or to reduce any amount
received or receivable by such Lender with respect thereto; then, in any such
case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement
referred to in subsection 2.8A, such additional amount or amounts (in the form
of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or
otherwise as such Lender reasonably shall determine) as may be necessary to
compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for any such increased cost or
reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder; provided, however, that Company
shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
subsection 2.7A for any increased cost or reduction in respect of a period
occurring more than 90 days prior to the date on which such Lender notifies
Company of such Change in Law and such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor, except if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or
reduction is retroactive, no such time limitation shall apply so long as such
Lender requests compensation within 90 days from the date on which the
applicable Government Authority informed such Lender of such Change in
Law.
B. Taxes.
(i) Payments to Be Free and
Clear. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made free
and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.
(ii) Grossing-up of
Payments. If Company or any other Person is required by law to
make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or
payable by Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan
Documents:
(a) Company
shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any
such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it;
(b) Company
shall timely pay any such Tax to the relevant Government Authority when such Tax
is due, in accordance with applicable law;
(c) unless
such Tax is an Excluded Tax, the sum payable by Company shall be increased to
the extent necessary to ensure that, after making the required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
subsection 2.7B(ii)), Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be,
receives on the due date a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had
no such deduction been required or made; and
(d) within 30
days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any such
deduction, and within 30 days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it
is required by clause (b) above to pay, Company shall deliver to Administrative
Agent the original or a certified copy of an official receipt or other document
satisfactory to the other affected parties to evidence the payment and its
remittance to the relevant Government Authority.
(iii) Indemnification by
Company. Company shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each
Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this subsection 2.7B(iii)) paid by Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, 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 Government Authority. A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Company by a Lender (with a
copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or
on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv) Tax Status of
Lenders. Unless not legally entitled to do so:
(a) any
Lender, if requested by Company or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
forms or other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by Company or Administrative Agent as will enable Company or
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements;
(b) any
Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Tax
with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
deliver to Company and Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which
such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter, as may be necessary in the determination of Company or
Administrative Agent, each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), such
properly completed and duly executed forms or other documentation prescribed by
applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
a reduced rate of withholding;
(c) without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Company is resident
for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to
Company and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested
by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter, as may be
necessary in the determination of Company or Administrative Agent, each in the
reasonable exercise of its discretion), whichever of the following is
applicable:
(1) properly
completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party,
(2) properly
completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI,
(3) in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption “portfolio
interest” under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (A) a duly executed
certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) a
ten-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the
Internal Revenue Code) of Company or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (B) properly
completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN.
(4) properly
completed and duly executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable
law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in any
Tax,
in each
case together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
applicable law to permit Company and Administrative Agent to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made, if any;
(d) without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Company is resident
for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender that does not act or
ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid
or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the
case of a typical participation by such Lender) shall deliver to Administrative
Agent and Company (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient), on or prior to the date such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender, or on
such later date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with
respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and from time to time
thereafter, as may be necessary in the determination of Company or
Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its
discretion):
(1) duly
executed and properly completed copies of the forms and statements required to
be provided by such Foreign Lender under clause (c) of
subsection 2.7B(iv), to establish the portion of any such sums paid or
payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account and may be
entitled to an exemption from or a reduction of the applicable Tax,
and
(2) duly
executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed
by such Foreign Lender, together with any information, if any, such Foreign
Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or
statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the
regulations thereunder, to establish that such Foreign Lender is not acting for
its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such
Foreign Lender;
(e) without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Company is resident
for tax purposes in the United States, any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender
and has not otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of Company and
Administrative Agent that it is an exempt recipient (as defined in
section 6049(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and the United States
Treasury Regulations thereunder) shall deliver to Company and Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or
prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable law or upon the
request of Company or Administrative Agent), duly executed and properly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9;
(f) without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender hereby agrees, from time
to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, whenever a
lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or
other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that
such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to Administrative Agent and Company
two original copies of renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms,
properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other
certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish
that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Tax with
respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents and, if applicable,
that such Lender does not act for its own account with respect to any portion of
such payment, or (2) notify Administrative Agent and Company of its
inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence;
and
(g) If an
Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that is has received a
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by
Company or with respect to which Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to
this Section, it shall pay over such refund to Company (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid by Company under this
Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Government Authority with
respect to such refund); provided that
Company, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the
amount paid over to Company (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Government Authority) to such
Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay
such refund to such Government Authority. This subsection shall not
be construed to require any Agent or Lender to make available its tax returns
(or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to
Company or any other Person.
C. Capital Adequacy
Adjustment. If any Lender shall have determined that any
Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s
Loans or Commitments or Letters of Credit or participations therein or other
obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a
level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of
such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy),
then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Company from
such Lender of the statement referred to in subsection 2.8A, Company shall
pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or such controlling corporation for such reduction, increased to the
extent necessary to take into account any tax incurred or payable by such Lender
as a result of the obligation of Company to pay such additional amounts; provided, however, that Company
shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
subsection 2.7C for any reduction in respect of a period occurring more
than 90 days prior to the date on which such Lender notifies Company of such
Change in Law and such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor,
except, if the Change in Law giving rise to such reduction is retroactive, no
such time limitation shall apply so long as such Lender requests compensation
within 90 days from the date on which the applicable Government Authority
informed such Lender of such Change in Law.
Statement of Lenders;
Obligation of Lenders and Issuing Lenders to
Mitigate.
|
A. Statements. Each
Lender claiming compensation or reimbursement pursuant to subsection 2.6D, 2.7
or 2.8B shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written
statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of
such compensation or reimbursement, which statement shall be conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
B. Mitigation. Each
Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the
officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender responsible for administering the Loans
or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be,
becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that
would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such
Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under subsection 2.7, it will
use reasonable effort to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitments of such
Lender or the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender
through another lending or letter of credit office of such Lender or Issuing
Lender, if (i) as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such
Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts
which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender
pursuant to subsection 2.7 would be materially reduced and (ii) as
determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, such action
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Lender; provided that such
Lender or Issuing Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or
letter of credit office pursuant to this subsection 2.8B unless Company
agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender
as a result of utilizing such other lending or letter of credit office as
described above.
Replacement of a
Lender.
|
If
Company receives a statement of amounts due pursuant to subsection 2.8A
from a Lender, a Revolving Lender defaults in its obligations to fund a
Revolving Loan pursuant to this Agreement, a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”)
refuses to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement
(other than a consent to participate in the extensions of credit provided for in
subsections 2.1A(v) and 3.6) that, pursuant to subsection 10.6, requires
consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of the Lenders with Obligations directly
affected or a Lender becomes an Affected Lender (any such Lender, a “Subject Lender”), so long as
such Lender is not an Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit
outstanding (unless all such Letters of Credit are terminated or arrangements
acceptable to such Issuing Lender (such as a “back-to-back” letter of credit)
are made), Company may require the Subject Lender to assign all of its Loans and
Commitments to such other Lender, Lenders, Eligible Assignee or Eligible
Assignees pursuant to the provisions of subsection 10.1B; provided that, prior
to or concurrently with such replacement, (1) the Subject Lender shall have
received payment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other amounts
(including all amounts under subsections 2.6D, 2.7 and/or 2.8B (if
applicable)) through such date of replacement and a release from its obligations
under the Loan Documents, (2) the processing fee required to be paid by
subsection 10.1B(i) shall have been paid to Administrative Agent, (3) all
of the requirements for such assignment contained in subsection 10.1B,
including the consent of Administrative Agent (if required) and the receipt by
Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment Agreement executed by the
assignee (Administrative Agent being hereby authorized to execute any Assignment
Agreement on behalf of a Subject Lender relating to the assignment of Loans
and/or Commitments of such subject Lender) and other supporting documents, have
been fulfilled, (4) in the event such Subject Lender is a Non-Consenting
Lender, each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each
matter in respect of which such Subject Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender and
Company also requires each other Subject Lender that is a Non-Consenting Lender
to assign its Loans and Commitments, and (5) Requisite Lenders or Requisite
Class Lenders, as the case may be, shall have approved such amendment,
modification or waiver of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt,
if a Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender solely because it refused to consent to
an amendment, modification or waiver that required the consent of 100% of
Lenders with Obligations directly affected thereby (which amendment,
modification or waiver did not accordingly require the consent of 100% of all
Lenders), Company may, with prior consent from Administrative Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), require such Non-Consenting
Lender to assign only those Loans and Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender
that constitute the Obligations directly affected by the amendment, modification
or waiver to which such Non-Consenting Lender refused to provide its
consent.
Issuance of Revolving
Letters of Credit and Lenders’ Purchase of Participations
Therein.
|
A. Revolving Letters of
Credit. Company or any of its Subsidiaries may request, in
accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1, from time to time
during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan
Commitment Termination Date, that one or more Revolving Lenders issue Revolving
Letters of Credit for the account of Company or such Subsidiary for the purposes
specified in the definition of “Letters of Credit.” Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations
and warranties of Company herein set forth, any one or more Revolving Lenders
may, but (except as provided in subsection 3.1B(ii)) shall not be obligated to
issue such Revolving Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection 3.1; provided that Company
shall not request that any Revolving Lender issue (and no Revolving Lender shall
issue):
(i) any
Revolving Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Total
Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount then in effect;
(ii) any
Revolving Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the
Revolving Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $700,000,000;
(iii) any
Revolving Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than five Business
Days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date; it being
understood that any Issuing Lender may agree to issue a Revolving Letter of
Credit that will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods
unless such Issuing Lender elects not to extend for any such additional period;
provided that
such Issuing Lender shall elect not to extend such Revolving Letter of Credit if
it has knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and
has not been waived in accordance with subsection 10.6) at the time such
Issuing Lender must elect whether or not to allow such extension; providedfurther, that in no
event shall an expiration date of any Revolving Letter of Credit so extended be
later than the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date;
(iv) Revolving
Letters of Credit issued for the purpose of supporting trade payables in an
aggregate face amount greater than $300,000,000; or
(v) Revolving
Letters of Credit issued for the purpose of supporting any Indebtedness
constituting “antecedent debt” (as such term is used in Section 547 of the
Bankruptcy Code).
On and
after the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed for all
purposes, including for purposes of the fees to be collected pursuant to
subsection 3.2, and reimbursement of costs and expenses to the extent
provided herein, to be Revolving Letters of Credit outstanding under this
Agreement and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and shall be governed by the applications and agreements pertaining
thereto and by this Agreement; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fees with respect to
the issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit shall be due
hereunder.
B. Mechanics of
Issuance.
(i) Request for Revolving Letter
of Credit Issuance. Whenever Company desires the issuance of a
Revolving Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to a Revolving Lender (which shall
be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto), with a copy to Administrative
Agent, a Request for Revolving Letter of Credit Issuance no later than
2:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least three Business Days, or such
shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender in any particular
instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Issuing Lender, in
its reasonable discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed
Revolving Letter of Credit or any documents described in or attached to the
Request for Revolving Letter of Credit Issuance. In furtherance of
the provisions of subsection 10.8, and not in limitation thereof, Company may
submit Requests for Revolving Letter of Credit Issuance by telefacsimile and
Administrative Agent and Issuing Lenders may rely and act upon any such Request
for Revolving Letter of Credit Issuance without receiving an original signed
copy thereof. No Revolving Letter of Credit shall require payment
against a conforming demand for payment to be made thereunder on the same
business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the office of the
Issuing Lender to which such demand for payment is required to be presented is
located) on which such demand for payment is presented if such presentation is
made after 10:00 A.M. (in the time zone of such office of the Issuing
Lender) on such business day.
Company
shall notify the applicable Issuing Lender (and Administrative Agent, if
Administrative Agent is not such Issuing Lender) prior to the issuance of any
Revolving Letter of Credit in the event that any of the matters to which Company
is required to certify in the applicable Request for Revolving Letter of Credit
Issuance is no longer true and correct in all material respects as of the
proposed date of issuance of such Revolving Letter of Credit, and upon the
issuance of any Revolving Letter of Credit, Company shall be deemed to have
re-certified, as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to which
Company is required to certify in the applicable Request for Revolving Letter of
Credit Issuance.
(ii) Determination of Issuing
Lender. Company may request any Revolving Lender to issue a
Revolving Letter of Credit by delivering to such Revolving Lender, with a copy
to Administrative Agent, a Request for Revolving Letter of Credit Issuance
pursuant to subsection 3.1B(i) requesting the issuance of such Revolving Letter
of Credit. In the event that such Revolving Lender, in its sole
discretion, elects not to issue such Revolving Letter of Credit, such Revolving
Lender shall promptly so notify Company and Administrative Agent, whereupon
Company may request any other Revolving Lender to issue such Revolving Letter of
Credit by delivering to such Revolving Lender a copy of the applicable Request
for Revolving Letter of Credit Issuance. Any Revolving Lender so
requested to issue such Revolving Letter of Credit shall promptly notify Company
and Administrative Agent whether or not, in its sole discretion, it has elected
to issue such Revolving Letter of Credit, and any such Revolving Lender that so
elects to issue such Revolving Letter of Credit shall be the Issuing Lender with
respect thereto. In the event that all other Revolving Lenders
requested by Company have declined to issue such Revolving Letter of Credit,
Xxxxx Fargo shall be obligated to issue such Revolving Letter of Credit and
shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto, notwithstanding the fact that
the Revolving Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Revolving Letter of
Credit and with respect to all other Revolving Letters of Credit issued by
Administrative Agent, when aggregated with Administrative Agent’s outstanding
Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, may exceed the amount of Administrative
Agent’s Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect; provided that the
Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue any Revolving Letter of Credit
denominated in a foreign currency which in the judgment of Administrative Agent
is not readily and freely available.
(iii) Issuance of Revolving Letter
of Credit. Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with
subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.3, the Issuing
Lender shall issue the requested Revolving Letter of Credit in accordance with
the Issuing Lender’s standard operating procedures.
(iv) Notification to Revolving
Lenders. Upon the issuance of or amendment to any Revolving
Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify
Administrative Agent and Company of such issuance or amendment in writing and
such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Revolving Letter of Credit or
amendment. Upon receipt of such notice (or, if Administrative Agent
is the Issuing Lender, together with such notice), Administrative Agent shall
notify each Revolving Lender in writing of such issuance or amendment and the
amount of such Revolving Lender’s respective participation in such Revolving
Letter of Credit or amendment, and, if so requested by a Revolving Lender,
Administrative Agent shall provide such Revolving Lender with a copy of such
Revolving Letter of Credit or amendment. In the event any Issuing
Lender is other than Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender will send by
facsimile transmission to Administrative Agent, promptly upon the first Business
Day of each calendar quarter, a report of its daily aggregate maximum amount
available for drawing under Letters of Credit for the previous
week. Upon receipt of such report, Administrative Agent shall notify
each Revolving Lender in writing of the contents thereof.
C. Revolving Lenders’ Purchase of
Participations in Revolving Letters of Credit. Immediately
upon the issuance of each Revolving Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender
shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the
Issuing Lender a participation in such Revolving Letter of Credit and any
drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share
of the maximum amount that is or at any time may become available to be drawn
thereunder.
Revolving Letter of
Credit Fees.
|
Company
agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Revolving Letters of Credit
issued hereunder:
(i) with
respect to each Revolving Letter of Credit, (a) a fronting fee, payable directly
to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account, equal to 0.125% per annum
of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Revolving Letter of Credit,
(b) a letter of credit fee for financial Revolving Letters of Credit, payable to
Administrative Agent for the account of Revolving Lenders, equal to the
applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin for Revolving Loans, plus, upon the
application of increased rates of interest pursuant to subsection 2.2E, 2%
per annum, multiplied by the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Revolving Letter of Credit, and
(c) a letter of credit fee for performance Revolving Letters of Credit, payable
to Administrative Agent for the account of Revolving Lenders, equal to the
applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin for Revolving Loans minus 0.25% per
annum, plus,
upon the application of increased rates of interest pursuant to
subsection 2.2E, 2% per annum, multiplied by the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Revolving Letter of Credit, each
such fronting fee or letter of credit fee to be payable in arrears on and to
(but excluding) the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter of each year and
computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed;
and
(ii) with
respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Revolving Letter of
Credit and each payment of a drawing made thereunder (without duplication of the
fees payable under clause (i) above), documentary and processing charges
payable directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account in
accordance with such Issuing Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in
effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case
may be.
For
purposes of calculating any fees payable under clause (i) of this
subsection 3.2, (1) the daily amount available to be drawn under any
Revolving Letter of Credit shall be determined as of the close of business on
any date of determination and (2) any amount described in such clause that
is denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be valued based on the
applicable Exchange Rate for such currency as of the applicable date of
determination.
Drawings and
Reimbursement of Amounts Paid Under Revolving Letters of
Credit.
|
A. Responsibility of Issuing Lender With
Respect to Drawings. In determining whether to honor any
drawing under any Revolving Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the
Issuing Lender thereof shall be responsible only to examine the documents
delivered under such Revolving Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to
ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Revolving Letter of Credit.
B. Reimbursement by Company of Amounts
Paid Under Revolving Letters of Credit. In the event an
Issuing Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Revolving Letter of
Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall immediately notify Company and
Administrative Agent, and Company shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on or
before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is
honored (the “Revolving Letter
of Credit Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars (which amount, in
the case of a payment under a Revolving Letter of Credit which is denominated in
a currency other than Dollars, shall be calculated by reference to the
applicable Exchange Rate) or, at the option of such Issuing Lender, in the case
of a Revolving Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in
such other currency and in same day funds equal to the amount of such payment;
provided that,
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
(i) unless Company shall have notified Administrative Agent and such
Issuing Lender prior to 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date such
drawing is honored that Company intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the
amount of such payment with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans,
Company shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing to
Administrative Agent requesting Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans that
are Base Rate Loans on the Revolving Letter of Credit Reimbursement Date in an
amount in Dollars (which amount, in the case of a payment under a Revolving
Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall be
calculated by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate) equal to the amount of
such payment and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
specified in subsection 4.2B, Revolving Lenders shall, on the Revolving
Letter of Credit Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate
Loans in the amount of such payment, the proceeds of which shall be applied
directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount
of such payment; and providedfurther, that if for
any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by such Issuing Lender
on the Revolving Letter of Credit Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the
amount of such payment, Company shall reimburse such Issuing Lender, on demand,
in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such payment
over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so
received. Nothing in this subsection 3.3B shall be deemed to
relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Company shall retain any
and all rights it may have against any Revolving Lender resulting from the
failure of such Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this
subsection 3.3B.
C. Payment by Lenders of Unreimbursed
Amounts Paid Under Revolving Letters of Credit.
(i) Payment by Revolving
Lenders. In the event that Company shall fail for any reason
to reimburse any Issuing Lender as provided in subsection 3.3B in an amount
(calculated, in the case of a payment under a Revolving Letter of Credit
denominated in a currency other than Dollars, by reference to the applicable
Exchange Rate) equal to the amount of any payment by such Issuing Lender under a
Revolving Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall promptly
notify Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of
the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Revolving Lender’s
respective participation therein based on such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata
Share. Each Revolving Lender (other than such Issuing Lender) shall
make available to Administrative Agent an amount equal to its respective
participation, in Dollars, in same day funds, at the Funding and Payment Office,
not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the first Business Day after
the date notified by Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall make
available to such Issuing Lender in Dollars in same day funds, at the office of
such Issuing Lender on such Business Day the aggregate amount of the payments so
received by Administrative Agent. In the event that any Revolving
Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent on such Business Day the
amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation in such Revolving Letter of
Credit as provided in this subsection 3.3C, such Issuing Lender shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together
with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by such Issuing Lender for
the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at
the Base Rate. Nothing in this subsection 3.3C shall be deemed
to prejudice the right of Administrative Agent to recover, for the benefit of
Revolving Lenders, from any Issuing Lender any amounts made available to such
Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.3C in the event that it is
determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the
payment with respect to a Revolving Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender in
respect of which payments were made by Revolving Lenders constituted gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing
Lender.
(ii) Distribution to Lenders of
Reimbursements Received From Company. In the event any Issuing
Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to
subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of any payment by such Issuing Lender
under a Revolving Letter of Credit issued by it, and Administrative Agent or
such Issuing Lender thereafter receives any payments from Company in
reimbursement of such payment under the Revolving Letter of Credit, to the
extent any such payment is received by such Issuing Lender, such Issuing Lender
shall distribute such payment to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent
shall distribute to each other Revolving Lender that has paid all amounts
payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such payment such
Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by
Administrative Agent or by such Issuing Lender from Company. Any such
distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at the account specified in
subsection 2.4C(iii).
D. Interest on Amounts Paid Under
Revolving Letters of Credit.
(i) Payment of Interest by
Company. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, with
respect to payments under any Revolving Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing
Lender, interest on the amount paid by such Issuing Lender in respect of each
such payment from the date a drawing is honored to but excluding the date such
amount is reimbursed by Company (including any such reimbursement out of the
proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B) at a rate equal to
(a) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding
the Revolving Letter of Credit Reimbursement Date, the rate then in effect under
this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and
(b) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of
interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans
that are Base Rate Loans. Interest payable pursuant to this
subsection 3.3D(i) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and shall be
payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related
drawing under a Revolving Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.
(ii) Distribution of Interest
Payments by Administrative Agent. Promptly upon receipt by
Administrative Agent of any payment of interest pursuant to subsection 3.3D(i)
with respect to a payment under a Revolving Letter of Credit, (a) Administrative
Agent shall distribute to (x) each Revolving Lender (including the Issuing
Lender) out of the interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of the
period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which
the applicable Issuing Lender is reimbursed for the amount of such payment
(including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans
pursuant to subsection 3.3B), the amount that such Revolving Lender would
have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would
have been payable in respect of such Revolving Letter of Credit for such period
pursuant to subsection 3.2 if no drawing had been honored under such
Revolving Letter of Credit and (y) such Issuing Lender the amount, if any,
remaining after payment of the amounts applied pursuant to clause (x), and
(b) in the event such Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other
Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of such
payment, Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Revolving Lender
(including such Issuing Lender) that has paid all amounts payable by it under
subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such payment such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of any interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of that
portion of such payment so made by Revolving Lenders for the period from the
date on which such Issuing Lender was so reimbursed to but excluding the date on
which such portion of such payment is reimbursed by Company. Any such
distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at the account specified in
subsection 2.4C(iii).
Obligations
Absolute.
|
The
obligation of Company to reimburse each Issuing Lender for payments under the
Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by
Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3B, and the obligations of
Revolving Lenders under subsection 3.3C(i) shall be unconditional and
irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances including any of the following
circumstances:
(i) any lack
of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;
(ii) the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Company or any
Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any
Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting),
any Issuing Lender, any other Revolving Lender or any other Person or, in the
case of a Revolving Lender, against Company, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction
(including any underlying transaction between Company or one of its Subsidiaries
and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);
(iii) any draft
or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(iv) payment
by the applicable Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation
of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit;
(v) any
Material Adverse Effect;
(vi) any
breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party
thereto;
(vii) any other
circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; or
(viii) the fact
that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing;
provided, in each
case, that payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under the
applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender under the circumstances
in question (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction).
Nature of Issuing
Lenders’ Duties.
|
As
between Company and any Issuing Lender, Company assumes all risks of the acts
and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Lender by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Lender shall
not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency,
accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in
connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit,
even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to
transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of
any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order
to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail,
cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;
(v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make
a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof;
(vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of
the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any
consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender,
including any act or omission by a Government Authority, and none of the above
shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Lender’s
rights or powers hereunder.
In
furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set
forth in the first paragraph of this subsection 3.5, any action taken or
omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit
issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or
omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender under any resulting
liability to Company.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 3.5, Company shall
retain any and all rights it may have against any Issuing Lender for any
liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Issuing Lender, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
Additional Letter of
Credit Facilities.
|
Company
may, at any time and from time to time from and after the Closing Date but prior
to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, elect to add one or more
additional letter of credit facilities under this Agreement (each an “Additional Letter of Credit
Facility” and collectively, “Additional Letter of Credit
Facilities”); provided that (i) the
aggregate outstanding Letters of Credit issued under all such Additional Letter
of Credit Facilities shall not exceed $500,000,000, (ii) Company shall execute
and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be
reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with the addition of
any Additional Letter of Credit Facility, (iii) no Potential Event of Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur after
giving effect to such Additional Letter of Credit Facility, and (iv) Company and
its Subsidiaries shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with subsection
7.6A, as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal
Quarter before and after giving effect to such Additional Letter of Credit
Facility. Any request under this subsection 3.6 shall be submitted by
Company to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly forward copies to
Lenders). At the time of sending such request, Company (in
consultation with Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within
which each Lender is requested to respond (which in no event shall be more than
ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such request). Company
may also specify any fees offered to those Lenders which agree to provide
commitments pursuant to any Additional Letter of Credit Facility, which fees may
be variable based upon the amount of the commitment which any such Lender is
willing to provide under such Additional Letter of Credit
Facility. No Lender shall have any obligation, express or implied, to
provide a commitment under any Additional Letter of Credit
Facility. No Lender which declines to provide a commitment under any
Additional Letter of Credit Facility may be replaced with respect to its
existing Commitment as a result thereof without such Lender’s
consent. Each Lender which has agreed to provide a commitment under
any Additional Letter of Credit Facility shall notify Administrative Agent
within the time period specified above of the proposed amount of its
commitment. Company may accept some or all of the offered amounts or
designate new lenders that qualify as Eligible Assignees and that are reasonably
acceptable to Administrative Agent to provide a commitment under any Additional
Letter of Credit Facility hereunder in accordance with this subsection
3.6. Company and Administrative Agent shall have discretion jointly
to adjust the allocation of the amounts of all commitments provided under any
Additional Letter of Credit Facility. Subject to the foregoing, any
Additional Letter of Credit Facility requested by Company shall be effective
upon delivery to Administrative Agent of each of the following
documents: (i) an originally executed copy of an amendment to this
Agreement signed by Company, Requisite Lenders and any new Lenders; (ii) a
notice to Lenders, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative
Agent, signed by a duly authorized officer of Company; (iii) an Officer’s
Certificate of Company, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent as to the authority of the officer executing the amendment
on behalf of Company; and (iv) any other certificates or documents that
Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent. The aggregate amount of any
Additional Letter of Credit Facility shall be an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of the commitments provided by Lenders under such Additional Letter of
Credit Facility. Upon effectiveness of any Additional Letter of

Matters Relating to
Collateral.
|
A. Governmental
Authorizations. No authorization, approval or other action by,
and no notice to or filing with, any Government Authority is required for either
(i) the pledge or grant by any Loan Party of the Liens purported to be
created in favor of Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Collateral
Documents or (ii) the exercise by Administrative Agent of any rights or
remedies in respect of any Collateral (whether specifically granted or created
pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or created or provided for by
applicable law), except for filings or recordings contemplated by the Collateral
Documents and except as may be required, in connection with the disposition of
any Collateral, by laws generally affecting the offering and sale of
securities.
B. Absence of Third-Party
Filings. Except such as may have been filed in favor of
Administrative Agent as contemplated by the Collateral Documents and to evidence
permitted lease obligations and other Liens permitted pursuant to
subsection 7.2 or have been filed pursuant to the Existing Credit
Agreements and are to be terminated in connection with the refinancing of the
obligations thereunder, (i) no effective UCC financing statement, fixture filing
or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral
is on file in any filing or recording office and (ii) no document granting any
rights to any third party with respect to any Intellectual Property of Company
or any of its Subsidiaries has been recorded with the PTO.
C. Margin
Regulations. The pledge of the Collateral pursuant to the
Collateral Documents does not violate Regulation T, U or X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
D. Information Regarding
Collateral. All information supplied to Administrative Agent
by or on behalf of any Loan Party with respect to any of the Collateral (in each
case taken as a whole with respect to any particular Collateral) is accurate and
complete in all material respects; provided, however, that this
provision shall not apply during any period in which such Collateral has been
released pursuant to subsection 10.14B.
Disclosure.

No
representation or warranty of Company or any of its Subsidiaries contained in
any Loan Document, Related Agreement or in any other document, certificate or
written statement furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of Company or any of its
Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Letter, contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to
Company, in the case of any document not furnished by it) necessary in order to
make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro
forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good
faith estimates and assumptions believed by Company to be reasonable at the time
made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events
are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or
periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected
results.

policy of insurance shall (i) name Administrative Agent for the benefit of
Lenders as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and
(ii) in the case of each business interruption and casualty insurance
policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement, satisfactory in form and
substance to Administrative Agent, that names Administrative Agent for the

Administrative Agent, if it received such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds,
shall deliver them to Company, and Company shall, or shall cause one or more of
its Subsidiaries to, promptly and diligently apply any such Net
Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds to pay or reimburse the costs of repairing,
restoring or replacing the assets in respect of which such Net
Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds were received or, to the extent not so applied,
to prepay the Loans as provided in subsection 2.4B;

such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds remaining therein in respect of the
applicable covered loss, amounts necessary to pay the cost of such repair,
restoration or replacement after the receipt by Administrative Agent of invoices
or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent relating
to the amount of costs so incurred and the work performed (including, if
required by Administrative Agent, lien releases and architects’ certificates);
and
(c) if at any
time (1) an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing or (2) Administrative Agent reasonably determines, whether

such Subsidiary is not proceeding diligently with such repair, restoration or
replacement, (B) that such repair, restoration or replacement cannot be
completed with the Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, together with funds
otherwise available to Company for such purpose, or (C) that such repair,
restoration or replacement cannot be completed within 365 days after the receipt

Company
shall comply, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with the

the Pledge Agreement or Foreign Pledge Agreements, as applicable, and take, and
cause each such Subsidiary Guarantor to take, all such further actions and
execute all such further documents and instruments as may be necessary
(including supplements and amendments to the Pledge Agreement) or, in the
opinion of Administrative Agent, desirable to create in favor of Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a valid First Priority Lien on all Capital
Stock of each Subsidiary Guarantor owned by each such Subsidiary Guarantor other
than any equity interests in Persons that are subject to prohibitions on
granting a security interest or otherwise transferring such equity interests
under state or local laws or under such Person’s Organizational Documents but
only if such Organizational Documents may not be amended or otherwise modified
to permit the granting of a security interest under the Pledge
Agreement. In addition, as provided in the Pledge Agreement, Company
shall, or shall cause the Subsidiary that owns the Capital Stock of each such
Subsidiary Guarantor to, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent a
supplement to the Pledge Agreement and to deliver to Administrative Agent all
certificates representing such Capital Stock of each such Subsidiary Guarantor
(accompanied by irrevocable undated stock powers, duly endorsed in
blank).

Appointment.
|
A. Appointment of Administrative
Agent. Xxxxx Fargo is hereby appointed Administrative Agent
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Each Lender (including
any Lender in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedge Agreement with Company
or one of it Subsidiaries) hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its
agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Xxxxx Fargo agrees to act upon the express conditions
contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as
applicable. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the
benefit of Agents and Lenders and no Loan Party shall have rights as
a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In
performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent
(other than as provided in subsection 2.1D) shall act solely as an agent of
Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any
obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Company or any
other Loan Party.
Administrative
Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact appointed by
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Administrative Agent and
any such sub-agent may perform any and all of the duties of Administrative Agent
and exercise the rights and powers of Administrative Agent by or through their
respective Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents
and advisors of such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates (“Related
Parties”). The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent
and any such sub-agent.
Administrative
Agent hereby appoints Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx as its agent for purposes of making all
Loans to be made on the Closing Date and exercising the consent rights of
Administrative Agent to any assignment pursuant to subsection 10.1 during the
Primary Syndication.
B. Appointment of Supplemental
Collateral Agents. It is the purpose of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any
jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or
associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such
jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the
enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case Administrative Agent deems
that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not
exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the
other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or
necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that Administrative Agent
appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee,
co-trustee, collateral agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional
individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Collateral Agent”
and collectively as “Supplemental Collateral
Agents”).
In the
event that Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with
respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or
duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to Administrative Agent with respect
to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental
Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such
Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges
with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such
Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents
and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental
Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either Administrative Agent
or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this
Section 9 and of subsections 10.2 and 10.3 that refer to
Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral
Agent and all references therein to Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be
references to Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as
the context may require.
Should
any instrument in writing from Company or any other Loan Party be required by
any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by Administrative Agent for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers,
privileges and duties, Company shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to,
execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon
request by Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Collateral
Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or
be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental
Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised
by Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral
Agent.
Powers and Duties;
General Immunity.
|
X. Xxxxxx; Duties
Specified. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes Administrative
Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers,
rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are
specifically delegated or granted to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof
and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall have only those duties
and responsibilities that are expressly specified in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may exercise such powers,
rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or
employees. Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in
respect of any Lender or Company; and nothing in this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so
construed as to impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth
herein or therein.
B. No Responsibility for Certain
Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the
execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any
representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or
made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements,
instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by
such Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of Company to such Agent or any Lender
in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby
or for the financial condition or business affairs of Company or any other
Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall such Agent be
required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of
the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of
the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of
the Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event
of Default or Potential Event of Default. Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have
any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or
the Revolving Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts
thereof.
C. Exculpatory
Provisions. No Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted
by such Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to
the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. An Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the
taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection
with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of
any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless
and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from
Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such
instructions under subsection 10.6) and, upon receipt of such instructions
from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent
shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to
exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such
instructions; 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 law. Without prejudice to the generality
of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in relying, upon any communication (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), instrument
or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or
sent by the proper person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be
protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be
attorneys for Company and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other
professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any
right of action whatsoever against an Agent as a result of such Agent acting or
(where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders
(or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under
subsection 10.6).
D. Agents Entitled to Act as
Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or
affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations
upon, an Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With
respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, an Agent
shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions
delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar
term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent
in its individual capacity. An Agent and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage
in any kind of commercial banking, investment banking, trust, financial advisory
or other business with Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not
performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other
consideration from Company for services in connection with this Agreement and
otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.
Representations and
Warranties; No Responsibility For Appraisal of
Creditworthiness.
|
Each
Lender agrees that it has made its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries in connection
with the making of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder and
that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of Company and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have
any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make
any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether
coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or
times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the
accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to
Lenders.
Right to
Indemnity.
|
Each
Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each
Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, professional
advisors and Affiliates to the extent that any such Person shall not have been
reimbursed by Company, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
(including counsel fees and disbursements and fees and disbursements of any
financial advisor engaged by Agent) or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Agent or
any other Persons in exercising the powers, rights and remedies of an Agent or
performing the duties of an Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or
otherwise in its capacity as an Agent in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no
Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of an Agent resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to an Agent or other Persons
for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become
impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not
commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is
furnished.
Resignation of Agents;
Successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line
Lenders.
|
A. Resignation; Successor Administrative
Agent. Any Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’
prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Company. Upon any such
notice of resignation by Administrative Agent, Requisite Lenders shall have the
right, and if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in
consultation with Company, upon five Business Days’ notice to Company, to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor shall
have been so appointed by Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice
of its resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders,
and if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in consultation with
Company, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If Administrative
Agent shall notify Lenders and Company that no Person has accepted such
appointment as successor Administrative Agent, such resignation shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with Administrative Agent’s notice
and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations under the Loan Documents, except that any Collateral held by
Administrative Agent will continue to be held by it until a Person shall have
accepted the appointment of successor Administrative Agent, and (ii) all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by, to or through each Lender
directly, until such time as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent in accordance with this subsection 9.5A. Upon
the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement
(if not already discharged as set forth above). After any retiring
Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an
Agent under this Agreement.
B. Resignation; Successor Swing Line
Lenders. Any Swing Line Lender may resign at any time by
giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and
Company. Upon any such notice of resignation by such Swing Line
Lender, Company shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to
Lenders, to appoint a successor Swing Line Lender. If no such
successor shall have been so appointed by Company and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Swing Line Lender gives notice of
its resignation, such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such Swing Line Lender’s notice and (i) the retiring Swing Line
Lender shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (ii) if
there is no other Swing Line Lender remaining under this Agreement, no Swing
Line Loans may be made until such time as Company appoints a successor Swing
Line Lender in accordance with this subsection 9.5B. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as a Swing Line Lender hereunder, that successor
Swing Line Lender shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender and the
retiring Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under this Agreement.
Collateral Documents,
Guaranties and Surety
Acknowledgment.
|
Each
Lender (which term shall include, for purposes of this subsection 9.6, any
Swap Counterparty) hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of
and for the benefit of Lenders, to enter into each Collateral Document as
secured party, to be the agent for and representative of Lenders under the
Subsidiary Guaranty and to enter into the Surety Acknowledgment or any similar
arrangement with another surety, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms
of each Collateral Document, the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Surety Acknowledgment
and any similar arrangement with another surety; provided that
Administrative Agent shall not (i) enter into or consent to any material
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in any
Collateral Document or the Subsidiary Guaranty or (ii) release any
Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement or the applicable Collateral Document), in each case
without the prior consent of Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to
subsection 10.6, all Lenders); providedfurther, however, that,
without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Administrative
Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (a) release any
Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other
disposition of assets permitted hereunder or to which Requisite Lenders have
otherwise consented (other than a sale or other disposition to
an Affiliate of Company), (b) release any Subsidiary Guarantor
from the Subsidiary Guaranty if (i) all of the Capital Stock of such
Subsidiary Guarantor is sold to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Company)
pursuant to a sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or to which
Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented or (ii) Company provides written
notice to Administrative Agent that such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a
Material Domestic Subsidiary or a Domestic Subsidiary required to execute the
Subsidiary Guaranty, (c) release the Liens encumbering the Collateral in
accordance with subsection 10.14B, or (d) subordinate the Liens of
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, to any Liens permitted pursuant to
subsections 7.2A(iii), (iv), (vii) and (viii); provided that, in the
case of a sale of such item of Collateral or stock referred to in subdivision
(a) or (b), the requirements of subsection 10.14A are
satisfied. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the
contrary notwithstanding, Company, Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby
agree that (1) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon
any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or to enforce the Subsidiary
Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies
under the Collateral Documents and the Subsidiary Guaranty may be exercised
primarily by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with
the terms thereof, and (2) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative
Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale,
Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such
Collateral at any such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for and
representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their
respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree
in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement
or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold
at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on
account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Administrative Agent
at such sale.
Duties of Other
Agents.
|
Syndication
Agent, each of the Co-Documentation Agents and each of the Co-Agents shall have
no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without
limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a
fiduciary relationship with any Lender.
Administrative Agent
May File Proofs of
Claim.
|
In case
of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to Company or any of the Subsidiaries of Company,
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall
then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on
Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise
(i) to file
and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and
unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agents (including any claim
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders
and Agents and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and
Agents under subsections 2.3 and 10.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding,
and
(ii) to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;
and any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that
Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agents and their agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due Agents under subsections 2.3 and
10.2.
Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize
or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations
or the rights of any Lenders or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in
respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
Successors and
Assigns; Assignments and Participations in Loans and Letters of
Credit.
|
A. General. This
Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
the successors and assigns of Lenders (it being understood that Lenders’ rights
of assignment are subject to the further provisions of this subsection
10.1). Neither Company’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any
interest therein may be assigned or delegated by Company without the prior
written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by
Company without such consent shall be null and void). No sale,
assignment or transfer or participation of any Letter of Credit or any
participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer
or participation of a corresponding interest in the Revolving Loan Commitment
and the Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lender effecting such sale, assignment,
transfer or participation. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, except as provided in subsection 2.1A(iv) and subsection 10.5,
the Swing Line Loan Commitment and the Swing Line Loans of any Swing Line Lender
may not be sold, assigned or transferred as described below to any Person other
than a successor Swing Line Lender to the extent contemplated by subsection
9.5. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of Administrative Agent and Lenders
and Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement. In addition, no sale, assignment, transfer
or participation of any Loan or Commitment by any Lender shall, without consent
of Company, require Company to file a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify such sale, assignment, transfer or
participation under the securities laws of any state.
B. Assignments.
(i) Amounts and Terms of
Assignments. Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;
provided that
(a), except (1) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or
(2) in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or
an Approved Fund of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan
Exposure, Tranche A Term Loan Exposure, Tranche B Term Loan
Exposure or Tranche C Term Loan Exposure of the assigning Lender and the
assignee subject to each such assignment shall not be less than $2,000,000 with
respect to the Revolving Loan Exposure or Tranche A Term Loan Exposure or
$1,000,000 with respect to the Tranche B Term Loan Exposure or the Tranche C
Term Loan Exposure (in each case aggregating concurrent assignments by or to two
or more Affiliated Funds for purposes of determining such minimum amount),
unless each of Administrative Agent and, with respect to the Revolving Loan
Exposure only and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed); provided, however, that no
consent of Company shall be required in connection with the Primary Syndication,
(b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitments assigned, and any
assignment of all or any portion of a Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Loans
and Revolving Letter of Credit participations shall be made only as an
assignment of the same proportionate part of the assigning Lender’s Revolving
Loan Commitment, Revolving Loans and Revolving Letter of Credit participations,
(c) the parties to each assignment shall (A) electronically execute and
deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement via an electronic
settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent or (B) manually execute and
deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless the assignee is an Affiliate or
an Approved Fund of the assignor or a Lender, in which case no fee shall be
required, and provided that only
one such processing and recordation fee shall be required in connection with
concurrent assignments by or to two or more Affiliated Funds), at Administrative
Agent’s discretion, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not already be a
Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent information reasonably requested
by Administrative Agent, including an administrative questionnaire and such
forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States
federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment
Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection 2.7B(iv) and with respect to information requested under the Patriot
Act, and (d) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, each of (1)
Administrative Agent, (2) with respect to assignments of Revolving Loans and
Revolving Loan Commitments, each Issuing Lender and each Swing Line Lender and
(3) with respect to the Revolving Loan Exposure only and if no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Company, shall have consented thereto (which
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that no
consent of Company shall be required in connection with the Primary
Syndication.
Upon
acceptance and recording by Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (ii) below,
from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment Agreement,
(y) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender
hereunder and shall be deemed to have made all of the agreements of a Lender
contained in the Loan Documents arising out of or otherwise related to such
rights and obligations and (z) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to
the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it
pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any
rights which survive the termination of this Agreement under subsection 10.9B)
and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of
an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto; provided that,
anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
if such Lender is an Issuing Lender such Lender shall continue to have all
rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender until the cancellation or expiration
of any Letters of Credit issued by it and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn
thereunder). The assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of
such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its Notes,
if any, to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall,
if so requested by the assignee and/or the assigning Lender in accordance with
subsection 2.1E, be issued to the assignee and/or to the assigning Lender,
substantially in the form of Exhibit V, Exhibit VI, Exhibit VII, or Exhibit VIII annexed
hereto, as the case may be, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the amounts
of the new Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans and/or outstanding
Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Tranche C Term Loans, as the
case may be, of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. Other than
as provided in subsection 2.1A(iv) and subsection 10.5, any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this subsection 10.1B 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 subsection 10.1C.
(ii) Acceptance by Administrative
Agent; Recordation in Register. Upon its receipt of an
Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee
representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and
recordation fee referred to in subsection 10.1B(i) and any forms, certificates
or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding
matters that such assignee may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent
pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iv), Administrative Agent shall, if Administrative
Agent and Company have consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (in each
case to the extent such consent is required pursuant to subsection 10.1B(i)),
(a) accept such Assignment Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof as
provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required consent of
Administrative Agent to such assignment), and (b) 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 clause (ii).
(iii) Deemed Consent by
Company. If the consent of Company to an assignment or to an
Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment
which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified in subsection
10.1B(i)), Company shall be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days
after the date notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender
(through Administrative Agent or the electronic settlement system
used in connection with any such assignment) unless such consent is expressly
refused by Company prior to such fifth Business Day.
(iv) Special Purpose Funding
Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified as such in
writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to Administrative Agent and
Company, the option to provide to Company all or any part of any Loan that such
Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to Company 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. 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 or any state thereof. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 10.1B(iv),
any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of,
Company and 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 Company and 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. This subsection
10.1B(iv) may not be amended without the written consent of the
SPC. Each Granting Lender shall, acting for this purpose as an agent
of Company, maintain at one of its offices a register substantially similar to
the Register for the recordation of the names and addresses of its assignees and
the amount and terms of its assignments pursuant to this subsection 10.1(B)(iv)
and no such assignment shall be effective until and unless it is recorded in
such register.
C. Participations. Any
Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, Company or Administrative
Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a natural Person
or Company or any of its Affiliates) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights
and/or obligations under this Agreement; 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) Company, Administrative Agent and
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 this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; 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
directly affecting (i) the extension of the regularly scheduled maturity of
any portion of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan allocated to such
participation or (ii) a reduction of the principal amount of or the rate of
interest payable on any Loan allocated to such participation. Subject
to the further provisions of this subsection 10.1C, Company agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.6D and 2.7 to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to subsection 10.1B. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.4 as though
it were a Lender, provided that such
Participant agrees to be subject to subsection 10.5 as though it were a
Lender. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under subsections 2.6D and 2.7 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 Company’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.7 unless Company is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of Company, to comply with subsection 2.7B(iv) as though it were a
Lender.
D. Pledges and
Assignments. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, and the other Obligations
owed to such Lender, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge
or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank; provided that
(i) no Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a
result of any such assignment or pledge and (ii) in no event shall any
assignee or pledgee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the
assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.
E. Information. Each
Lender may furnish any information concerning Company and its Subsidiaries in
the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants
(including prospective assignees and participants), subject to subsection
10.19.
F. Agreements of
Lenders. Each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof
hereby agrees, and each Lender that becomes a party thereto pursuant to an
Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to agree (i) that it is an Eligible
Assignee described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof; (ii) that it has
experience and expertise in the making of or purchasing loans such as the Loans;
and (iii) that it will make or purchase Loans for its own account in the
ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal
securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this
subsection 10.1, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at
all times remain within its exclusive control). Each Lender that
becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to
represent that such Assignment Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Lender, enforceable against such Lender in accordance with
its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Company agrees
to pay promptly (i) all actual and reasonable costs and expenses of

and
(viii)
all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including
allocated costs of internal counsel), fees, costs and expenses of accountants,

with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under
this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings.
Indemnity.
|
In
addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to subsection 10.2, whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Company agrees to
defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold
harmless Agents and Lenders (including Issuing Lenders), and the officers,
directors, trustees, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and Affiliates of
Agents and Lenders (collectively called the “Indemnitees”), from and
against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that Company
shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise solely
from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of a contractual
undertaking of that Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
As used
herein, “Indemnified
Liabilities” means, collectively, any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages (including natural resource damages), penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, claims (including Environmental Claims), costs (including the
costs of any investigation, study, sampling, testing, abatement, cleanup,
removal, remediation or other response action necessary to remove, remediate,
clean up or xxxxx any Hazardous Materials Activity), expenses and disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees (including allocated costs of internal
counsel) in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial
proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not any such
Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any
fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether
direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or
foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and
commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on
common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating
to or arising out of (i) this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Related
Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including
Lenders’ agreement to make the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of the
proceeds thereof or the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder or
the use or intended use of any thereof, the failure of an Issuing Lender to
honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission,
whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto
Government Authority, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including
any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or
the enforcement of the Subsidiary Guaranty)),
(ii) the
statements contained in the commitment letter delivered by any Lender to Company
with respect thereto, or (iii) any Environmental Claim or any Hazardous
Materials Activity relating to or arising from, directly or indirectly, any past
or present activity, operation, land ownership, or practice of Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.
To the
extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set
forth in this subsection 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because
they are violative of any law or public policy, Company shall contribute the
maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to
the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by
Indemnitees or any of them.
Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action, such
Indemnitee shall use reasonable efforts to notify Company of the commencement of
such action.
Set-Off.
|
In
addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by
way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default each of Lenders and their Affiliates is
hereby authorized by Company at any time or from time to time, without notice to
Company or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived,
to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final, including Indebtedness evidenced
by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including
trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that
Lender or any Affiliate of that Lender to or for the credit or the account of
Company and each other Loan Party against and on account of the Obligations of
Company or any other Loan Party to that Lender (or any Affiliate of that Lender)
or to any other Lender (or any Affiliate of any other Lender) under this
Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other Loan
Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or
connected with this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein
or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) that Lender shall
have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of or the interest on the
Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts
due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and
although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or
unmatured.
Ratable
Sharing.
|
Lenders
hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary or
mandatory payment (other than a payment or prepayment of Loans made and applied
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security,
through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim
or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or
otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral
under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters
of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to
such Lender) that is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in
respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such proportionately greater payment shall, unless such
proportionately greater payment is required by the terms of this Agreement
(i) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of
such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase
assignments (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of an
assignment simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such
payment) of the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such
recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion
to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that
(A) if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such
purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy
or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded
and the purchase prices paid for such assignments shall be returned to such
purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest
and (B) the foregoing provisions shall not apply to (1) any payment
made by Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment (other than an assignment pursuant to this subsection 10.5) of or the
sale of a participation in any of its Obligations to any Eligible Assignee or
Participant pursuant to subsections 10.1B and 10.1C. Company
expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any purchaser of
an assignment so purchased may exercise any and all rights of a Lender as to
such assignment as fully as if that Lender had complied with the provisions of
subsection 10.1B with respect to such assignment. In order to further
evidence such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the
assignment provisions set forth above), each purchasing Lender and each selling
Lender agree to enter into an Assignment Agreement at the request of a selling
Lender or a purchasing Lender, as the case may be, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to each such Lender.
Amendments and
Waivers.
|
No
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or of the Notes, and no consent to any departure by Company therefrom,
shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of Requisite
Lenders; provided that no such
amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the
written consent of:
(a) each
Lender with Obligations directly affected (whose consent shall be sufficient for
any such amendment, modification, termination or waiver without the consent of
Requisite Lenders) (1) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, (2) postpone the
scheduled final maturity date of any Loan (including by extension of the Term
Loan Commitments), or postpone the date or reduce the amount of any scheduled
payment (but not prepayment) of principal of any Loan, (3) postpone the date on
which any interest or any fees are payable, (4) decrease the interest rate borne
by any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate
applicable to any of the Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2E) or the amount of any
fees payable hereunder (other than any waiver of any increase in the fees
applicable to Revolving Letters of Credit pursuant to subsection 3.2 following
an Event of Default), (5) reduce the amount or postpone the due date of any
amount payable in respect of any Letter of Credit, (6) extend the expiration
date of any Revolving Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment
Termination Date, (7) extend the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, or
(8) change in any manner the obligations of Revolving Lenders relating to the
purchase of participations in Revolving Letters of Credit;
(b) each
Lender, (1) change in any manner the definition of “Class” or the
definition of “Pro Rata Share” or the definition of “Requisite Class Lenders” or
the definition of “Requisite Lenders” (except for any changes resulting solely
from an increase in the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitments pursuant
to subsection 2.1A(v) or approved by Requisite Lenders), (2) change in any
manner any provision of this Agreement that, by its terms, expressly requires
the approval or concurrence of all Lenders, (3) increase the maximum
duration of Interest Periods permitted hereunder, (4) release any Lien granted
in favor of Administrative Agent with respect to all or substantially all of the
Collateral or release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the
Subsidiary Guaranty, in each case other than in accordance with the terms of the
Loan Documents, (5) change in any manner or waive the provisions contained in
subsection 2.4D, subsection 8.1, subsection 10.5 or this subsection 10.6, or (6)
change in any manner the provisions in subsections 2.1C and 2.4C(iii) relating
to the apportionment of payments and disbursements by and to Lenders in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares;
(c) each Swap
Counterparty, change the provisions contained in subsection 2.4D in a manner
adverse to any Swap Counterparty with outstanding obligations under any Hedge
Agreement between a Loan Party and such Swap Counterparty.
In
addition, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision (i)
of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Lender
which is the holder of that Note, (ii) of subsection 2.1A(iv) or of any other
provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Loan Commitment or the
Swing Line Loans shall be effective without the written concurrence of all Swing
Line Lenders, (iii) of Section 3 shall be effective without the written
concurrence of Administrative Agent and, with respect to the purchase of
participations in Letters of Credit, without the written concurrence of each
Issuing Lender that has issued an outstanding Letter of Credit or has not been
reimbursed for a payment under a Letter of Credit, (iv) of Section 9 or of
any other provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires
the approval or concurrence of Administrative Agent shall be effective without
the written concurrence of Administrative Agent, (v) of subsection 2.4 that
has the effect of changing any voluntary or mandatory prepayments, or Commitment
reductions applicable to a Class in a manner that disproportionately
disadvantages such Class relative to any other Class shall be effective without
the written concurrence of Requisite Class Lenders of such affected Class (it
being understood and agreed that any amendment, modification, termination or
waiver of any such provision which only postpones or reduces any interim
scheduled payment, voluntary or mandatory prepayment, or Commitment reduction
from those set forth in subsection 2.4 with respect to one Class but not any
other Class shall be deemed to disproportionately disadvantage such one Class
but not to disproportionately disadvantage any such other Class for purposes of
this clause (v)); and (vi) that increases the amount of a Commitment of a Lender
shall be effective without the consent of such Lender (it being understood and
agreed that a waiver of a condition precedent set forth in Section 4 or of any
Potential Event of Default or Event of Default is not considered an increase or
extension in Commitments of any Lender); and (vii) that increases the maximum
amount of Letters of Credit shall be effective without the consent of Revolving
Lenders constituting Requisite Class Lenders.
Administrative
Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender,
execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that
Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No
notice to or demand on Company in any case shall entitle Company to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any
amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance
with this subsection 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time
outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by Company, on
Company.
Independence of
Covenants.
|
All
covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular
action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it
would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the
limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of
Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or condition
exists.
Notices; Effectiveness
of Signatures.
|
Unless
otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein
required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally
served, or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and
shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier
service, upon receipt of telefacsimile in complete and legible form, or three
Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid
and properly addressed; provided that notices
to Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Lender and any Issuing Lender shall not
be effective until received. For the purposes hereof, the address of
each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party’s name on the signature
pages hereof or (i) as to Company and Administrative Agent, such other
address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to
the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other
address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to
Administrative Agent. Electronic mail and Internet and intranet
websites may be used to distribute routine communications, such as financial
statements and other information as provided in subsection
6.1. Administrative Agent or Company may, in its discretion, agree to
accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications. Loan Documents and notices under the Loan Documents
may be transmitted and/or signed by telefacsimile and by signatures delivered in
‘PDF’ format by electronic mail; provided, however, that no
signature with respect to any notice, request, agreement, waiver, amendment or
other document that is intended to have binding effect may be sent by electronic
mail.
The
effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable
law, have the same force and effect as an original copy with manual signatures
and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, Agents and
Lenders. Administrative Agent may also require that any such
documents and signature be confirmed by a manually-signed copy thereof; provided, however, that the
failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed copy shall not affect the
effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Company agrees that Administrative Agent may make any material
delivered by Company to Administrative Agent, as well as any amendments,
waivers, consents and other written information, documents, instruments and
other materials relating to Company, any of their respective Subsidiaries, or
any other materials or matters relating to the Loan Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby that Administrative Agent is required or
authorized pursuant to the terms hereof or of any Loan Document to provide to
Lenders (collectively, the “Communications”) available to
Lenders by posting such notices on a Platform; provided, however, that any
Communications that Company deems to contain material non-public information and
are identified in writing to Administrative Agent as such may also be designated
in writing by Company as unauthorized for posting on a Platform and
Administrative Agent will not so post such Communications. Company
acknowledges that (a) the distribution of material through an electronic medium
is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks
associated with such distribution, (b) a Platform is provided “as is” and “as
available” and (c) neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates
warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sufficiency, or sequencing of
the Communications posted on a Platform. Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates expressly disclaim with respect to a Platform any liability for
errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading, delays in posting
or delivery, or problems accessing the Communications posted on such Platform
and any liability for any losses, costs, expenses or liabilities that may be
suffered or incurred in connection with such Platform. No warranty of
any kind, express, implied or statutory, including 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
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with any
Platform.
Each
Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying
that any Communication has been posted to a Platform shall for purposes of this
Agreement constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information,
documents or other materials comprising such Communication. Each
Lender agrees (1) to notify, on or before the date such Lender becomes a party
to this Agreement, Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail
address to which a notice may be sent (and from time to time thereafter to
ensure that Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for
such Lender) and (2) that any notice may be sent to such e-mail
address.
Survival of
Representations, Warranties and
Agreements.
|
A. All
representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the
issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder.
B. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of
Company set forth in subsections 2.6D, 2.7, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.17 and 10.18
and the agreements of Lenders set forth in subsections 9.2C, 9.4, 10.5 and 10.18
shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the
Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the
termination of this Agreement.
Failure or Indulgence
Not Waiver; Remedies
Cumulative.
|
No
failure or delay on the part of an Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any
power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any
default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of
any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
Marshalling; Payments
Set Aside.
|
Neither
any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in
favor of Company or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of
the Obligations. To the extent that Company makes a payment or
payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the
benefit of Lenders), or Agents or Lenders enforce any security interests or
exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of
such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any
other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the
extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to
be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto,
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or
payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not
occurred.
Severability.
|
In case
any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such
provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.
Obligations Several;
Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights; Damage
Waiver.
|
The
obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible
for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to
constitute Lenders, or Lenders and Company, as a partnership, an association, a
Joint Venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time
hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and, subject
to subsection 9.6, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its
rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other
Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose.
To the
extent permitted by law, (i) Company shall not assert, and 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) and
(ii) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Agent and Lender
shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against Company, any of its
Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and
Affiliates, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages), in each case arising
out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement (including
subsection 2.1C), any other Loan Document, any transaction contemplated by the
Loan Documents, any Loan or the use of 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.
Release of Security
Interest or Guaranty.
|
A. Upon the
proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral to any Person (other than
an Affiliate of Company) that is permitted by this Agreement or to which
Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented, or the sale or other disposition of
all of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Person (other than an
Affiliate of Company) pursuant to a sale or other dispositions that is permitted
hereunder or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented or in the event
Company provides written notice to Administrative Agent that any Subsidiary
Guarantor is no longer a Material Domestic Subsidiary or a Domestic Subsidiary
required to execute the Subsidiary Guaranty, for which a Loan Party desires to
obtain a security interest release or a release of the Subsidiary Guaranty from
Administrative Agent, such Loan Party shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate (i)
stating that the Capital Stock subject to such disposition is being sold or
otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms hereof or (ii) stating that
such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Material Domestic Subsidiary or a
Domestic Subsidiary required to execute the Subsidiary Guaranty. Upon
the receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, Administrative Agent shall, at such
Loan Party’s expense, so long as Administrative Agent has no reason to believe
that the facts stated in such Officer’s Certificate are not true and correct,
execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Capital Stock
or such Subsidiary Guaranty, as may be reasonably requested by such Loan
Party.
B. In the
event that, at any time, the Company Debt Rating is higher than Ba2 from Xxxxx’x
and higher than BB from S&P, Administrative Agent shall, at Company’s
expense, execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in all
Collateral, other than the Pledged Collateral in respect of any Capital Stock of
any Subsidiary Guarantor, as may be reasonably requested by such Loan
Party. Notwithstanding any such release, Company shall comply with
the provisions of subsection 6.7 with respect to any Collateral Pledge Period
that occurs following such release.

PRELIMINARY
STATEMENTS
A. Pursuant
to the Credit Agreement dated as of November 15, 2007 (said Credit Agreement, as
it may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time, being the “Credit

and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to extend certain credit
facilities to Company.
B. Company

accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and it is desired that the
obligations of Company or such Subsidiary of Company under the Lender Swap
Agreements, including the obligation of Company or such Subsidiary of Company to

with all obligations of Company under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, be secured hereunder.
C. Subsidiary
Pledgors have executed and delivered the Subsidiary Guaranty (said Subsidiary
Guaranty, as it may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, being the “Subsidiary Guaranty”) in favor
of Secured Party for the benefit of Lenders and any Swap Counterparties,
pursuant to which each Subsidiary Pledgor has guarantied the prompt payment and
performance when due of all obligations of Company under the Credit Agreement
and all obligations of Company and the
applicable
Subsidiaries of Company under the Lender Swap Agreements.
D. It
is a condition precedent to the initial extensions of credit by Lenders under
the Credit Agreement that Pledgors listed on the signature pages hereof shall
have granted the security interests and undertaken the obligations contemplated
by this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the agreements set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement and
in order to induce Lenders to make Loans and other extensions of credit under
the Credit Agreement and to induce Swap Counterparties to enter into the Lender
Swap Agreements, each Pledgor hereby agrees with Secured Party as
follows:
SECTION
1. Pledge of
Security.
Each
Pledgor hereby pledges and assigns to Secured Party, and hereby grants to
Secured Party a security interest in, all of such Pledgor’s right, title and
interest in and to the following (the “Pledged
Collateral”):
(a) all
shares of stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests and
all other equity interests (“Equity Interests”) in a Person
that is a Subsidiary Guarantor required to be pledged under the Credit Agreement
now or hereafter owned by such Pledgor, whether such Equity Interests are
classified as investment property or general intangibles under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (“UCC”), including all
securities convertible into, and rights, warrants, options and other rights to
purchase or otherwise acquire, any Equity Interest, and including those owned on
the date hereof and described in Part A of Schedule I annexed
hereto for such Pledgor, the certificates or other instruments representing any
of the foregoing and any interest of such Pledgor in the entries on the books of
any securities intermediary pertaining thereto (the “Pledged Equity”), and all
distributions, dividends, and other property received, receivable or otherwise
distributed in respect of or in exchange therefor; provided that the
Pledged Equity shall not include any Equity Interests in Persons that are
subject to prohibitions on granting a security interest or otherwise
transferring such Equity Interests under state or local laws or under such
Person’s Organizational Documents but only if such Organizational Documents may
not be amended or otherwise modified to permit the granting of a security
interest under this Agreement;
(b) the
Indebtedness from time to time owed to such Pledgor by any obligor that, is or
becomes a direct or indirect Subsidiary of such Pledgor, is the parent of such
Pledgor or controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such
Pledgor, including the Indebtedness described in Part B of Schedule I for such
Pledgor and issued by the obligors named therein, the instruments evidencing
such Indebtedness (the “Pledged
Debt”), and all cash and other property received, receivable or otherwise
distributed in respect of or in exchange therefor;
(c) all
books, records, ledger cards, files, correspondence, computer programs, tapes,
disks and related data processing software that at any time evidence or contain
information relating to any of the Pledged Collateral or are otherwise necessary
or helpful in the collection thereof or realization thereupon; and
(d) to the
extent not covered by clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, all proceeds of any or all
of the foregoing Pledged Collateral. For purposes of this Agreement,
the term “proceeds”
includes whatever is receivable or received when Pledged Collateral or proceeds
are sold, exchanged, collected or otherwise disposed of, whether such
disposition is voluntary or involuntary, and includes, without
limitation, proceeds of any indemnity or guaranty payable to Pledgors or
Secured Party from time to time with respect to any of the Pledged
Collateral.
SECTION
2. Security
for Obligations.
This
Agreement secures, and the Pledged Collateral is collateral security for, the
prompt payment or performance in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by
required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all
Secured Obligations of each Pledgor. “Secured Obligations”
means:
(a) with
respect to Company, all obligations and liabilities of every nature of Company
now or hereafter existing under or arising out of or in connection with the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any Lender Swap Agreement;
and
(b) with
respect to each Subsidiary Pledgor and Additional Pledgor, all obligations and
liabilities of every nature of such Subsidiary Pledgor now or hereafter existing
under or arising out of or in connection with the Subsidiary
Guaranty,
in each
case together with all extensions or renewals thereof, whether for principal,
interest, reimbursement of amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, payments for
early termination of Lender Swap Agreements, fees, expenses, indemnities or
otherwise, whether voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others,
and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later
increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or
liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is
avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Secured Party or any Lender or
Swap Counterparty as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and all
obligations of every nature of Pledgors now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement (including interest and other amounts that, but for the filing of a
petition in bankruptcy with respect to Company or any other Pledgor, would
accrue on such obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Company or
such Pledgor for such amounts in the related bankruptcy
proceeding).
SECTION
3. Representations
and Warranties.
Each
Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:
(a) Ownership of Pledged
Collateral. Except as expressly permitted by the Credit
Agreement, such Pledgor owns its interests in the Pledged Collateral free and
clear of any Lien and no effective financing statement or other instrument
similar in effect covering all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is on file
in any filing or recording office.
(b) Perfection. The
security interests in the Pledged Collateral granted to Secured Party for the
ratable benefit of Lenders and Swap Counterparties hereunder
constitute
valid security interests in the Pledged Collateral, securing the payment of the
Secured Obligations. Upon (i) the filing of UCC financing
statements naming each Pledgor as “debtor”, naming Secured Party as “secured
party” and describing the Pledged Collateral in the filing offices with respect
to such Pledgor set forth on Schedule II
annexed hereto, (ii) in the case of the Pledged Collateral consisting of
certificated Securities (as defined in the UCC) or evidenced by Instruments, in
addition to filing of such UCC financing statements, delivery of the
certificates representing such certificated Securities and delivery of such
Instruments to Secured Party, in each case duly endorsed or accompanied by duly
executed instruments of assignment or transfer in blank, the security interests
in the Pledged Collateral granted to Secured Party for the ratable benefit of
Lenders and Swap Counterparties will constitute perfected security interests
therein prior to all other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances and Liens
permitted by subsection 7.2A of the Credit Agreement) securing the payment of
the Secured Obligations, and all filings and other actions necessary or
desirable to perfect and protect such security interests have been, or promptly
after the Closing Date will be, duly made or taken.
(c) Office Locations; Type and
Jurisdiction of Organization. Such Pledgor’s name as it appears in
official filings in the jurisdiction of its organization, type of organization
(i.e. corporation, limited partnership, etc.), jurisdiction of organization,
principal place of business, chief executive office, office where such Pledgor
keeps its records regarding the Pledged Collateral, and organization number
provided by the applicable Government Authority of the jurisdiction of
organization are set forth on Schedule III annexed
hereto.
(d) Names. No Pledgor
(or predecessor by merger or otherwise of such Pledgor) has, within the five
year period preceding the date hereof, or, in the case of an Additional Pledgor,
the date of the applicable Counterpart (as herein defined), had a different name
from the name of such Pledgor listed on the signature pages hereof, except the
names set forth on Schedule III annexed
hereto.
(e) Delivery of Pledged
Collateral. All certificates or Instruments with a face amount
greater than $10,000,000 or an aggregate face amount of $25,000,000 or more
(excluding checks) evidencing, comprising or representing the Pledged Collateral
have been delivered to Secured Party duly endorsed or accompanied by duly
executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank.
(f) Due Authorization and Description of
Pledged Collateral. All of the Pledged Equity set forth in
Part A of Schedule
I annexed hereto has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully
paid and non-assessable; all of the Pledged Debt set forth in Part B of Schedule I annexed
hereto has been duly authorized and is the legally valid and binding obligation
of the issuers thereof and is not in default; there are no outstanding warrants,
options or other rights to purchase, or other agreements outstanding with
respect to, or property that is now or hereafter convertible into, or that
requires the issuance or sale of, any Pledged Equity; the Pledged Debt
constitutes all of the issued and outstanding intercompany Indebtedness
evidenced by a promissory note of the respective issuers thereof owing to such
Pledgor; Part A of Schedule I annexed
hereto sets forth all of the issued and outstanding Pledged Equity owned by each
Pledgor, and the percentage ownership in each
issuer
thereof; and Part B of Schedule I annexed
hereto sets forth all of the Pledged Debt owned by such
Pledgor.
The
representations and warranties as to the information set forth in Schedules
referred to herein are made, as to each Pledgor (other than Additional
Pledgors), as of the date hereof and, as to each Additional Pledgor, as of the
date of the applicable Counterpart, except that, in the case of a Pledge
Supplement, such representations and warranties are made as of the date of such
Pledge Supplement.
SECTION
4. Covenants.
Each
Pledgor shall:

or permit any Pledged Collateral to be used unlawfully or in violation of any
provision of this Agreement or any applicable material statute, regulation or
ordinance or any policy of insurance covering the Pledged
Collateral;
(b) give
Secured Party written notice of (i) any change in such Pledgor’s name, identity
or corporate structure within 15 days of a Responsible Officer of such Pledgor

notice during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from such
records, and each Pledgor agrees to render to Secured Party, at such Pledgor’s
cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably
requested with regard thereto;
(f) if any
Pledged Equity is not a security pursuant to Section 8-103 of the UCC, not take
any action that, under such Section, converts such Pledged Equity into a
security without causing the issuer thereof to issue to it certificates or
instruments evidencing such Pledged Equity, which it shall promptly deliver to
Secured Party as provided in Section 5;
(g) not,
except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, permit any issuer of
Pledged Equity to merge or consolidate unless all the outstanding Equity
Interests of the surviving or resulting Person are, upon such merger or
consolidation, pledged and become Pledged Collateral hereunder and no cash,
securities or other property is distributed in respect of the outstanding Equity
Interests of any other constituent Person;
(h) (i) cause
each issuer of Pledged Equity not to issue any Equity Interests in addition to
or in substitution for the Pledged Equity issued by such issuer, except to such
Pledgor, (ii) immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) of
any Equity Interests, including additional Equity Interests in each issuer of
Pledged Equity, comply with Section 5(b), and (iii) immediately upon
issuance of any and all Instruments or other evidences of additional
Indebtedness from time to time owed to such Pledgor by any obligor on the
Pledged Debt, comply with Section 5(b);
(i) promptly
deliver to Secured Party all written notices received by it with respect to the
Pledged Collateral; and
(j) at its
expense (i) perform and comply in all material respects with all terms and
provisions of any agreement related to the Pledged Collateral required to be
performed or complied with by it, (ii) maintain all such agreements in full
force and effect, and (iii) enforce all such agreements in accordance with
their terms.
SECTION
5. Further
Assurances; Pledge Supplements.
(a) Each
Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Pledgors, such Pledgor
will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and
take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Secured
Party may request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted
or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged
Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Pledgor will: (i) deliver to Secured Party all promissory notes and
other Instruments with a principal balance in excess of $10,000,000 or
$25,000,000 in the aggregate, (ii) execute (if necessary) and file such
financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as Secured Party
may request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or
purported to be granted hereby and (iii) at Secured Party’s request, appear
in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Pledgor’s title to
or Secured Party’s security interest in all or any part of the Pledged
Collateral. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file one
or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative
to all or any part of the Pledged Collateral without the signature of such
Pledgor.
(b) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing Section 5(a), each Pledgor agrees
that (i) all certificates and promissory notes or other Instruments with a
principal balance in excess of $10,000,000 or $25,000,000 in the aggregate
representing or evidencing the Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to and held
by or on behalf of Secured Party pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form
for transfer by delivery or, as applicable, shall be accompanied by such
Pledgor’s endorsement, where necessary, or duly executed instruments of transfer
or assignments in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Secured
Party, and (ii) it will, upon obtaining any additional Equity Interests or
Indebtedness, promptly (and in any event within 30 days) deliver to Secured
Party a Pledge Supplement, duly executed by such Pledgor, in substantially the
form of Schedule
IV annexed hereto (a “Pledge Supplement”), in
respect of such additional Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt; provided, that the
failure of any Pledgor to execute a Pledge Supplement with respect to
any
additional
Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt shall not impair the security interest of Secured
Party therein or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of Secured
Party hereunder with respect thereto. Upon each such acquisition, the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3(f) shall be deemed to have
been made by such Pledgor as to such Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt, whether or
not such Pledge Supplement is delivered.
SECTION
6. Voting
Rights; Dividends; Etc.
(a) So long
as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and
other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof
for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or the Credit
Agreement; provided, no Pledgor
shall exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if Secured Party shall
have notified such Pledgor that, in Secured Party’s reasonable, good faith
judgment, such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the
Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; (ii) each Pledgor shall be
entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, other distributions and
interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral; and (iii) Secured Party
shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to
such Pledgor all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as
such Pledgor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of
enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which
it is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i) above and to receive the
dividends, distributions, principal or interest payments which it is authorized
to receive and retain pursuant to clause (ii) above.
(b) Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) upon
written notice from Secured Party to any Pledgor, all rights of such Pledgor to
exercise the voting and other consensual rights that they would otherwise be
entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall
thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right
to exercise such voting and other consensual rights;
(ii) except as
otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, all rights of such Pledgor to
receive the dividends, other distributions, principal and interest payments
which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant hereto
shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party
who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged
Collateral such dividends, other distributions, principal and interest payments;
and
(iii) all
dividends, principal, interest payments and other distributions that are
received by such Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (ii) above
shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, shall be segregated
from other funds of such Pledgor and shall forthwith be paid over to Secured
Party as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsements).
(c) In order
to permit Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which
it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and
other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each
Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to Secured Party all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other
instruments as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request, and
(ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, each Pledgor hereby
grants to Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Equity and to
exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of
the Pledged Equity would be entitled (including giving or withholding written
consents of holders of Equity Interests, calling special meetings of holders of
Equity Interests and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective,
automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of
any Pledged Equity on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other
Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Equity or any officer or agent
thereof), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only
terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than
Unasserted Obligations), the cure of such Event of Default or waiver thereof as
evidenced by a writing executed by Secured Party.
SECTION
7. Secured
Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
Each
Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as such Pledgor’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in
the name of such Pledgor, Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in
Secured Party’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that
Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including:
(a) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to ask for,
demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and
receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the
Pledged Collateral;
(b) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to receive,
endorse and collect any instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing
any dividend payment or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral
or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same;
(c) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to file any claims
or take any action or institute any proceedings that Secured Party may deem
necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Pledged Collateral or
otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the
Pledged Collateral;
(d) to pay or
discharge taxes or Liens (other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the
Credit Agreement) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Pledged
Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to
discharge the same to be determined by Secured Party in its sole discretion, any
such payments made by Secured Party to become obligations of such Pledgor to
Secured Party, due and payable immediately without demand; and
(e) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell,
transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any
of the Pledged Collateral as fully and completely as though Secured Party were
the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Secured Party’s
option and such Pledgor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts
and things that Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize
upon the Pledged Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein in
order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
such Pledgor might do.
SECTION
8. Secured
Party May Perform; No Assumption.
(a) If any
Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may
itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of
Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Pledgor
under Section 12(b).
(b) Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) each Pledgor shall
remain liable under any agreements included in the Pledged Collateral, to the
extent set forth therein, to perform all of its duties and obligations
thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed,
(ii) the exercise by Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder shall not
release any Pledgor from any of its duties or obligations under the agreements
included in the Pledged Collateral, and (iii) Secured Party shall not have
any obligation or liability under any agreements included in the Pledged
Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Secured Party be obligated to
perform any of the obligations or duties of any Pledgor thereunder or to take
any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned
hereunder.
SECTION
9. Standard
of Care.
The
powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest
in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any
such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the
custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for
moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to
any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking any necessary steps to preserve
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged
Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Pledged Collateral in its
possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal
to that which Secured Party accords its own property.
SECTION
10. Remedies.
(a) If any
Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or, after payment in full
of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the
cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the termination of the
Commitments, the occurrence of an Early Termination Date (as defined in a Master
Agreement in the form prepared by the International Swap and Derivatives
Association, Inc. or a similar event under any similar swap agreement) under any
Lender Swap Agreement (either such occurrence
being an “Event of Default” for purposes
of this Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may,
subject to Section 14, exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in
addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under
the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Pledged Collateral), and
Secured Party may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as
specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more
parcels at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party’s offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and
at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem
commercially reasonable. Secured Party or any Lender or Swap
Counterparty may be the purchaser of any or all of the Pledged Collateral at any
such sale and Secured Party, as agent for and representative of Lenders and Swap
Counterparties (but not any Lender or Swap Counterparty in its individual
capacity unless Requisite Obligees (as defined in Section 14) shall otherwise
agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making
settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the
Pledged Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the
Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Pledged
Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each purchaser at
any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or
right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal
which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or
statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Pledgor agrees that,
to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice
to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which
any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale
of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been
given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Secured
Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged
Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price
which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts
the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than
one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Pledged Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Pledgors
shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the fees of any
attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency. Each
Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this
Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party
has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence,
that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically
enforceable against such Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not
to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such
covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the
Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated
maturities. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right, without
notice to Pledgors, to transfer to or to register in the name of Secured Party
or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral, subject to the
revocable rights specified in Section 6(a).
(b) Each
Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, Secured Party may be
compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral
conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Pledged Collateral
under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers
to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral
for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private
placement may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable
through a sale without such restrictions (including an offering made pursuant to
a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such
circumstances, such Pledgor agrees that any such private placement shall not be
deemed, in and of itself, to be commercially unreasonable and that Secured Party
shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Collateral for the
period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form
of sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable
state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so
register it.
(c) If
Secured Party determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged
Collateral, upon written request, each Pledgor shall and shall cause each issuer
of any Pledged Equity to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to
Secured Party all such information as Secured Party may request in order to
determine the amount of Pledged Collateral that may be sold by Secured Party in
exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to
time in effect.
(d) If an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any amounts on deposit in the
Collateral Account (as defined in Section 15), except for funds deposited in the
Collateral Account as described in the next sentence, shall be held by Secured
Party and applied as Obligations become due or, if applicable, pursuant to
subsection 2.4D of the Credit Agreement. If, in accordance with
Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, Company is required to pay to Secured
Party an amount (the “Aggregate
Available Amount”) equal to the maximum amount that may at any time be
drawn under all Letters of Credit then outstanding under the Credit Agreement,
Company shall deliver funds in such an amount for deposit in the Collateral
Account. Following such deposit in the Collateral Account,
(i) upon any drawing under any outstanding Letter of Credit, Secured Party
shall apply any amount in the Collateral Account to reimburse the Issuing Lender
for the amount of such drawing, and (ii) in the event of cancellation or
expiration of any Letter of Credit, or in the event of any reduction in the
maximum available amount under any Letter of Credit, Secured Party shall apply
the amount then on deposit in the Collateral Account in excess of the Aggregate
Available Amount (calculated giving effect to such cancellation, expiration or
reduction) as provided in Section 11.
SECTION
11. Application
of Proceeds.
Except as
expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured
Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all
or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall be applied as provided in subsection
2.4D of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION
12. Indemnity
and Expenses.
(a) Pledgors
jointly and severally agree to indemnify Secured Party, each Lender and each
Swap Counterparty from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in
any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (including enforcement of this Agreement),
except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result solely from
Secured Party’s or such Lender’s or Swap Counterparty’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(b) Pledgors
jointly and severally agree to pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of
any and all costs and expenses in accordance with subsection 10.2 of the Credit
Agreement.
(c) The
obligations of Pledgors in this Section 12 shall (i) survive the
termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Pledgors’ other obligations
under this Agreement, the Lender Swap Agreements, the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and (ii), as to any Pledgor that is a party to a Subsidiary
Guaranty, be subject to the provisions of Section 1(b) thereof.
SECTION
13. Continuing
Security Interest; Transfer of Loans.
(a) This
Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral
and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of
the Secured Obligations (other than the Unasserted Obligations), the
cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or
expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or the securing of
reimbursement Obligations in respect thereof with cash collateral or letters of
credit in a manner satisfactory to Secured Party), (ii) be binding upon
Pledgors and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure,
together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit
of Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), (A) but subject to the
provisions of subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other
Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof
granted to Lenders herein or otherwise and (B) any Swap Counterparty may assign
or otherwise transfer any Lender Swap Agreement to which it is a party to any
other Person in accordance with the terms of such Lender Swap Agreement, and
such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect
thereof granted to Swap Counterparties herein or otherwise.
(b) Upon the
payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations),
the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or
expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or the securing of
reimbursement Obligations in respect thereof with cash collateral or letters of
credit in a manner satisfactory to Secured Party), the security interest granted
hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to
the applicable Pledgors. Upon any such termination Secured Party
will, at Pledgors’ expense, execute and deliver to Pledgors such documents as
Pledgors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. In
addition,
upon the proposed sale or other disposition of any Pledged
Collateral by a Pledgor to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Company) in
accordance with the Credit Agreement for which such Pledgor desires to obtain a
security interest release from Secured Party, such a release may be obtained
pursuant to the provisions of subsection 10.14 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION
14. Secured Party as
Agent.
(a) Secured
Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party hereunder by Lenders and, by
their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Swap Counterparties. Secured
Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands,
to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take
or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of
Pledged Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit
Agreement; provided that Secured Party shall exercise, or refrain from
exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 10 in accordance with the
instructions of (i) Requisite Lenders, or (ii), after payment in full
of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the
cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the termination of the
Commitments, the holders of a majority of (A) the aggregate notional amount
under all Lender Swap Agreements (including Lender Swap Agreements that have
been terminated) or (B) if all Lender Swap Agreements have been terminated in
accordance with their terms, the aggregate amount then due and payable
(exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination
payments then due) under such Lender Swap Agreements) (Requisite Lenders or, if
applicable, such holders being referred to herein as “Requisite
Obligees”). In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 14(a), each Swap Counterparty, by its acceptance of the benefits
hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of
the Pledged Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Swap
Counterparty that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by
Secured Party for the benefit of Lenders and Swap Counterparties in accordance
with the terms of this Section 14(a).
(b) Secured
Party shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under
the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Administrative
Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute
notice of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement; and appointment of
a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit
Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Secured Party under
this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent under subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement by a successor
Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring Secured
Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor
Secured Party all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder,
together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in
connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party
under this Agreement, and (ii) execute (if necessary) and deliver to such
successor Secured Party such amendments to financing statements, and take such
other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the
assignment to such successor Secured Party of the security interests created
hereunder, whereupon such retiring Secured Party shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this
Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder.
(c) Secured
Party shall not be deemed to have any duty whatsoever with respect to any Swap
Counterparty until it shall have received written notice in form and substance
satisfactory to Secured Party from a Pledgor or the Swap Counterparty as to the
existence and terms of the applicable Lender Swap Agreement.
SECTION
15. Collateral
Account.
(a) Secured
Party is hereby authorized to establish and maintain as a blocked account under
the sole dominion and control of Secured Party, a restricted Deposit Account
designated as “URS Corporation Collateral Account” (the “Collateral Account”) for
purposes of depositing any Aggregate Available Amount required to be deposited
pursuant to Section 10(d) and any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds pursuant
to subsection 6.4C(ii)(b) of the Credit Agreement. All amounts at any
time held in the Collateral Account shall be beneficially owned by Pledgors but
shall be held in the name of Secured Party hereunder, for the benefit of
Administrative Agent, Lenders and Swap Counterparties, as collateral security
for the Secured Obligations upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein. Pledgors shall have no right to withdraw, transfer or, except
as expressly set forth herein or in the Credit Agreement, otherwise receive any
funds deposited into the Collateral Account. Anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Account shall be subject
to such applicable laws, and such applicable regulations of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of any other appropriate banking or
Government Authority, as may now or hereafter be in effect. All
deposits of funds in the Collateral Account shall be made by wire transfer (or,
if applicable, by intra-bank transfer from another account of a Pledgor) of
immediately available funds, in each case addressed in accordance with
instructions of Secured Party. Each Pledgor shall, promptly after
initiating a transfer of funds to the Collateral Account, give notice to Secured
Party by telefacsimile of the date, amount and method of delivery of such
deposit. Cash held by Secured Party in the Collateral Account shall
not be invested by Secured Party but instead shall be maintained as a cash
deposit in the Collateral Account pending application thereof as elsewhere
provided in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement. To the extent
permitted under Regulation Q of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, any cash held in the Collateral Account shall bear interest at the
standard rate paid by Secured Party to its customers for deposits of like
amounts and terms. Subject to Secured Party’s rights hereunder, any
interest earned on deposits of cash in the Collateral Account shall be deposited
directly in, and held in, the Collateral Account.
(b) In the
event that Company is required to cash collateralize any Letter of Credit or
Letters of Credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement, other than pursuant to
Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, in which case the provisions of Section 10(d)
shall apply, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, such cash
collateral shall be retained by Secured Party until such time as such Letter of
Credit or Letters of Credit shall have expired or been surrendered and any
drawings under such Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit paid in full,
whether
by reason of application of funds in the Collateral Account or
otherwise. Secured Party is authorized to apply any amount in the
Collateral Account to pay any drawing on a Letter of Credit. Subject
to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and Section 10(d), if any such cash
collateral is no longer required to be retained in the Collateral Account, it
shall be paid by Secured Party to Company or at Company’s
direction.
SECTION
16. Additional
Pledgors.
The
initial Pledgors hereunder shall be Company and such of the Subsidiary
Guarantors as are signatories hereto on the date hereof. From time to
time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Subsidiary Guarantors may become
Additional Pledgors by executing a counterpart to this Agreement substantially
in the form of Schedule V annexed
hereto (a “Counterpart”). Upon
delivery of any such Counterpart to Secured Party, notice of which is hereby
waived by Pledgors, each such Additional Pledgor shall be a Pledgor and shall be
as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Pledgor were an original signatory
hereto. Each Pledgor expressly agrees that its obligations arising
hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any
other Pledgor hereunder, nor by any election of Secured Party not to cause any
Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Pledgor hereunder. This
Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Pledgor that is or becomes a party
hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or
ceases to be a Pledgor hereunder.
SECTION
17. Amendments;
Etc.
No
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured
Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Pledgors; provided this
Agreement may be modified by the execution of a Counterpart by an Additional
Pledgor in accordance with Section 16 and Pledgors hereby waive any requirement
of notice of or consent to any such amendment. Any such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given.
SECTION
18. Notices.
Any
notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be
in writing and may be personally served or sent by telefacsimile or United
States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when
delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile, or
three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage
prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices to Secured Party shall not
be effective until received. For the purposes hereof, the address of
each party hereto shall be as provided in subsection 10.8 of the Credit
Agreement or, in the case of Secured Party, as set forth under Secured Party’s
name on the signature page hereof, and, in the case of each Pledgor, as set
forth on Schedule
A annexed hereto, or such other address as shall be designated by such
party in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto.
SECTION
19. Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
No
failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power,
right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be
construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or
privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are
cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise
available.
SECTION
20. Severability.
In case

[FORM
OF] SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY
This
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY
(this “Guaranty”) is
entered into as of November 15, 2007 by the undersigned (each a “Guarantor”, and together with
any future Subsidiaries executing this Guaranty, being collectively referred to
herein as the “Guarantors”) in favor of and
for the benefit of XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as agent
for and representative of (in such capacity herein called “Guarantied Party”) the
financial institutions (“Lenders”) party to the Credit
Agreement referred to below and any Swap Counterparties (as herein defined), and
in favor of and for the benefit of the other Beneficiaries (as herein
defined).
RECITALS.
A. URS
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), has entered into
that certain Credit Agreement dated as of November 15, 2007 with Lenders and
Guarantied Party, as a Joint-Lead Arranger and Administrative Agent for Lenders,
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc., as a Joint-Lead Arranger and Syndication
Agent for Lenders and Bank of America, N.A., BNP Paribas and The Royal Bank of
Scotland plc, as Co-Documentation Agents for Lenders (said Credit Agreement, as
it may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time, being the “Credit
Agreement”; capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined
herein being used herein as therein defined).
B. Company
or a Subsidiary of Company may from time to time enter, or may from time to time
have entered, into one or more Interest Rate Agreements, Currency Agreements or
other swap agreements (collectively, the “Lender Swap Agreements”) with
one or more Persons that are Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders at the time such
Lender Swap Agreements are entered into (in such capacity, collectively, “Swap Counterparties”) in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and it is desired that the
obligations of Company or such Subsidiary of Company under the Lender Swap
Agreements, including the obligation of Company or such Subsidiary of Company to
make payments thereunder in the event of early termination thereof, together
with all obligations of Company under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, be guarantied hereunder.
C. Guarantied
Party, Lenders and each Swap Counterparty for which Guarantied Party has
received the notice required by Section 18 are sometimes referred to herein as
“Beneficiaries”.
D. A
portion of the proceeds of the Loans may be advanced to Guarantors, and thus the
Guarantied Obligations (as herein defined) are being incurred for and will inure
to the benefit of Guarantors (which benefits are hereby
acknowledged).
E. It
is a condition precedent to the making of the initial Loans under the Credit
Agreement that Company’s obligations thereunder be guarantied by
Guarantors.
F. Guarantors
are willing irrevocably and unconditionally to guaranty such obligations of
Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the
foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lenders and Guarantied
Party to enter into the Credit Agreement and to make Loans and other extensions
of credit thereunder and to induce Swap Counterparties to enter into the Lender
Swap Agreements, Guarantors hereby agree as follows:
1. Guaranty. (a) Guarantors
jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty, as primary
obligors and not merely as sureties, the due and punctual payment in full of all
Guarantied Obligations (as herein defined) when the same shall become due,
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise (including
amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under
Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code). The term “Guarantied Obligations” is
used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all Obligations
of Company and all obligations of Company or the applicable Subsidiary of
Company under Lender Swap Agreements, now or hereafter made, incurred or
created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether due
or not due, and however arising under or in connection with the Credit
Agreement, the Lender Swap Agreements, this Guaranty and the other Loan
Documents, including those arising under successive borrowing transactions under
the Credit Agreement which shall either continue such obligations of Company or
such Subsidiary of Company or from time to time renew them after they have been
satisfied.
Each
Guarantor acknowledges that a portion of the Loans may be advanced to it, that
Letters of Credit may be issued for the benefit of its business and that the
Guarantied Obligations are being incurred for and will inure to its
benefit.
Any
interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations that accrues after the
commencement of any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement
of Company (or, if interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations ceases
to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding,
such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guarantied
Obligations if said proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the
Guarantied Obligations because it is the intention of each Guarantor and
Guarantied Party that the Guarantied Obligations should be determined without
regard to any rule of law or order that may relieve Company of any portion of
such Guarantied Obligations.
In the
event that all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations is paid by Company,
the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full
force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or
any part of such payment(s) is rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly
from Guarantied Party or any other Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent
transfer or otherwise, and any such payments that are so rescinded or recovered
shall constitute Guarantied Obligations.
Subject
to the other provisions of this Section 1, upon the failure of Company to pay
any of the Guarantied Obligations when and as the same shall become due, each
Guarantor will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Guarantied
Party for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the aggregate
of the unpaid Guarantied Obligations.
(b) Anything
contained in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of
each Guarantor under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents shall be limited
to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render
its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any
applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in
each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Guarantor,
contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws
(specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor (x) in
respect of intercompany indebtedness to Company or other affiliates of Company
to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to
the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder and (y) under any guaranty of
Subordinated Indebtedness which guaranty contains a limitation as to maximum
amount similar to that set forth in this Section 1(b), pursuant to which the
liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into
account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to
the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent
Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or
contribution of such Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the
terms of any agreement.
(c) Each
Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each guarantor under other guaranties, if
any, relating to the Credit Agreement (the “Related Guaranties”) that
contain a contribution provision similar to that set forth in this Section 1(c),
together desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in
a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty and
the Related Guaranties. Accordingly, in the event any payment or
distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under this Guaranty or a
guarantor under a Related Guaranty, each such Guarantor or such other guarantor
shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing
Guarantors in the maximum amount permitted by law so as to maximize the
aggregate amount of the Guarantied Obligations paid to
Beneficiaries.
2. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing
Guaranty. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are
irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected
by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a
guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guarantied
Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the
generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees that: (a) this
Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectibility;
(b) Guarantied Party may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or the
occurrence of an early termination date or similar event under any Lender Swap
Agreements notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Company, the
applicable Subsidiary of Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the
existence of such event; (c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
are independent of the obligations of Company or such Subsidiary of Company
under the Loan Documents or the Lender Swap Agreements and the obligations of
any other guarantor of obligations of Company or such Subsidiary of Company and
a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each
Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Company, such Subsidiary
of Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Company or such
Subsidiary of Company is joined in any such action or actions; and (d) a
payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guarantied Obligations by one or more
Guarantors shall in no way limit, affect, modify or
abridge
the liability of such or any other Guarantor for any portion of the Guarantied
Obligations that has not been paid. This Guaranty is a continuing
guaranty and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and
assigns, and each Guarantor irrevocably waives any right (including any such
right arising under California Civil Code Section 2815) to revoke this Guaranty
as to future transactions giving rise to any Guarantied
Obligations.
3. Actions by
Beneficiaries. Any Beneficiary may from time to time, without
notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of this
Guaranty or giving rise to any limitation, impairment or discharge of any
Guarantor’s liability hereunder, (a) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise
change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guarantied
Obligations, (b) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or
refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the
Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the
payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations, (c) request
and accept other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations and take and hold
security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations,
(d) release, exchange, compromise, subordinate or modify, with or without
consideration, any security for payment of the Guarantied Obligations, any other
guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person
with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, (e) enforce and apply any
security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Beneficiary in
respect of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations and direct the order or
manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Guarantied
Party or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them, may have against any such
security, as Guarantied Party in its discretion may determine consistent with
the Credit Agreement, the Lender Swap Agreements and any applicable security
agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more
judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is
commercially reasonable, and (f) exercise any other rights available to
Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them, under the Loan
Documents or the Lender Swap Agreements.
4. No Discharge. This
Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and
enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge
for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations),
including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor
shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (a) any
failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay
or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the
exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy
with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or
with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the
Guarantied Obligations, (b) any waiver or modification of, or any consent
to departure from, any of the terms or provisions of the Credit Agreement, any
of the other Loan Documents, the Lender Swap Agreements or any agreement or
instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for
the Guarantied Obligations, (c) the Guarantied Obligations, or any
agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, (d) the application of payments received from
any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guarantied Obligations,
even though Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them, might
have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guarantied
Obligations, (e) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a
security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guarantied
Obligations, (f) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Company may
assert against
Guarantied
Party or any Beneficiary in respect of the Guarantied Obligations, including but
not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of
frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and
(g) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or
thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of a
Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guarantied Obligations.
5. Waivers. Each
Guarantor waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any
right to require Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries, as a condition of
payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Company,
any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person,
(ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Company, any other
guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person, (iii) proceed
against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the
books of any Beneficiary in favor of Company or any other Person, or
(iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary; (b) any
defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability
or other defense of Company including any defense based on or arising out of the
lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the
liability of Company from any cause other than payment in full of the Guarantied
Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which
provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in
other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense
based upon Guarantied Party’s or any other Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in
the administration of the Guarantied Obligations, except behavior that amounts
to bad faith or gross negligence; (e) (i) any principles or provisions
of law, statutory or otherwise, that are or might be in conflict with the terms
of this Guaranty and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations
affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof,
(iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and
(iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary
protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto;
(f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices
of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of this
Guaranty, notices of default under the Credit Agreement, notices of default or
early termination under any Lender Swap Agreement or any agreement or instrument
related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the
Guarantied Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any
extension of credit to Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in
Sections 3 and 4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived
from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or
sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Guaranty.
As used
in this paragraph, any reference to “the principal” includes Company, and any
reference to “the creditor” includes Guarantied Party and each other
Beneficiary. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil
Code (a) each Guarantor waives any and all rights and defenses available to it
by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code,
including without limitation any and all rights or defenses such Guarantor or
any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations may have because the
Guarantied Obligations are secured by real property. This means,
among other things: (1) the creditor may collect from such
Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral
pledged by the principal; and (2) if the creditor forecloses on any real
property collateral pledged by the
principal:
(A) the amount of the Guarantied Obligations may be reduced only by the
price for which the collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the
collateral is worth more than the sale price and (B) the creditor may
collect from such Guarantor even if the creditor, by foreclosing on the real
property collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect
from the principal. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver
of any right and defenses such Guarantor may have because the Guarantied
Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses
include, but are not limited to, any rights and defenses based upon Section
580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure. Each Guarantor also waives all rights and defenses arising
out of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of
remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a
Guarantied Obligation, has destroyed such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the Code
of Civil Procedure or otherwise; and even though that election of remedies by
the creditor, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an
obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guarantied Obligations, has
destroyed such Guarantor’s rights of contribution against such other
guarantor. No other provision of this Guaranty shall be construed as
limiting the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this
paragraph. As provided below, this Guaranty shall be governed by, and
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the
State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws
principles. This paragraph is included solely out of an abundance of
caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced
provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty or to
any of the Guarantied Obligations.
6. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation,
Contribution, Etc.; Subordination of Other Obligations. Until
the Guarantied Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations) shall have been
paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit
shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of
(a) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now
has or may hereafter have against Company or any of its assets in connection
with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations
hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity,
under contract, by statute (including without limitation under California Civil
Code Section 2847, 2848 or 2849), under common law or otherwise and including
(i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such
Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company, (ii) any right to
enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary
now has or may hereafter have against Company, and (iii) any benefit of,
and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter
held by any Beneficiary and (b) any right of contribution such Guarantor
now has or may hereafter have against any other guarantor of any of the
Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the
extent the agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation,
reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any
rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have
against Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of
contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be
junior and subordinate to any rights Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries
may have against Company, to all right, title and interest Guarantied Party or
the other Beneficiaries may have in any such collateral or security, and to any
right Guarantied Party or the other Beneficiaries may have against such other
guarantor.
Any
indebtedness of Company now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is subordinated
in right of payment to the Guarantied Obligations, and any such indebtedness of
Company to a Guarantor collected or received by such Guarantor after an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and any amount paid to a Guarantor on
account of any subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution
rights referred to in the preceding paragraph when all Guarantied Obligations
have not been paid in full, shall be held in trust for Guarantied Party on
behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to
Guarantied Party for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied
against the Guarantied Obligations.
7. Expenses. Guarantors
jointly and severally agree to pay, or cause to be paid, on demand, and to save
Guarantied Party and the other Beneficiaries harmless against liability for,
(i) any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, costs of
settlement, and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal
counsel) incurred or expended by Guarantied Party or any other Beneficiary in
connection with the enforcement of or preservation of any rights under this
Guaranty and (ii) any and all costs and expenses (including those arising
from rights of indemnification) required to be paid by Guarantors under the
provisions of any other Loan Document.
8. Financial Condition of
Company. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation, and each
Guarantor waives any duty on the part of any Beneficiary, to disclose or discuss
with such Guarantor its assessment, or such Guarantor’s assessment, of the
financial condition of Company or any matter or fact relating to the business,
operations or condition of Company. Each Guarantor has adequate means
to obtain information from Company on a continuing basis concerning the
financial condition of Company or the applicable Subsidiary of Company and their
respective abilities to perform their respective obligations under the Loan
Documents and the Lender Swap Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the
responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of
Company and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Guarantied Obligations.
9. Representations and
Warranties. Each Guarantor makes, for the benefit of
Beneficiaries, each of the representations and warranties made in the Credit
Agreement by Company as to such Guarantor, its assets, financial condition,
operations, organization, legal status, business and the Loan Documents to which
it is a party.
10. Covenants. Each
Guarantor agrees that, so long as any part of the Guarantied Obligations shall
remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, any Lender shall have
any Commitment or any Swap Counterparty shall have any obligation under any
Lender Swap Agreement, such Guarantor will, unless Requisite Obligees (as such
term is defined in Section 17(a)) shall otherwise consent in writing,
perform or observe all of the terms, covenants and agreements that the Loan
Documents state that Company is to cause a Guarantor to perform or
observe.
11. Set Off. In
addition to any other rights any Beneficiary may have under law or in equity, if
any amount shall at any time be due and owing by a Guarantor to any Beneficiary
under this Guaranty, such Beneficiary is authorized at any time or from time to
time, without notice (any such notice being expressly waived), to set off and to
appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including but
not limited to indebtedness
evidenced
by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other
indebtedness of such Beneficiary owing to a Guarantor and any other property of
such Guarantor held by a Beneficiary to or for the credit or the account of such
Guarantor against and on account of the Guarantied Obligations and liabilities
of such Guarantor to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty.
12. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of
Guarantor. If all of the stock of a Guarantor or any of its
successors in interest under this Guaranty shall be sold or otherwise disposed
of (including by merger or consolidation) to any Person (other than an Affiliate
of Company) in a sale or other disposition not prohibited by the Credit
Agreement or otherwise consented to by Requisite Obligees (as such term is
defined in Section 17(a)), such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as
the case may be, may request Guarantied Party to execute and deliver documents
or instruments necessary to evidence the release and discharge of this Guaranty
as provided in subsection 10.14 of the Credit Agreement.
13. Amendments and
Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of
any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor
therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of
Guarantied Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification,
Guarantors. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was
given.
14. Miscellaneous. It
is not necessary for Beneficiaries to inquire into the capacity or powers of any
Guarantor or Company or the officers, directors or any agents acting or
purporting to act on behalf of any of them.
The
rights, powers and remedies given to Beneficiaries by this Guaranty are
cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and
remedies given to Beneficiaries by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in
any of the Loan Documents or the Lender Swap Agreements or any agreement between
one or more Guarantors and one or more Beneficiaries or between Company and one
or more Beneficiaries. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and
any delay by any Beneficiary in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver
thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or
remedy.
In case
any provision in or obligation under this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in
any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.
THIS

OTHER BENEFICIARIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS GUARANTY MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS
GUARANTY EACH GUARANTOR ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS

AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
GUARANTY. Each Guarantor agrees that service of all process in any
such proceeding in any such court may be made by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, to such Guarantor at its address set forth on Schedule A annexed
hereto or such other address as shall be designated by such Guarantor in a
written notice to Guarantied Party, such service being acknowledged by such
Guarantor to be sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against such
Guarantor in any such court and to be otherwise effective and binding service in
every respect. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Guarantied
Party or any Beneficiary to bring proceedings against such Guarantor in the
courts of any other jurisdiction.
EACH GUARANTOR AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE
OF THE BENEFITS HEREOF, GUARANTIED PARTY EACH AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT
OF THIS GUARANTY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE
ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT
RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND
STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH GUARANTOR AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS HEREOF,
GUARANTIED PARTY EACH (I) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR SUCH GUARANTOR AND GUARANTIED PARTY TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP, THAT SUCH GUARANTOR AND GUARANTIED PARTY HAVE ALREADY RELIED ON

MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY
SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS OF THIS
GUARANTY. In the event of litigation, this Guaranty may be
filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
15. Additional
Guarantors. The initial Guarantor(s) hereunder shall be such
of the Subsidiaries of Company as are signatories hereto on the date
hereof. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, Subsidiaries
of Company may become parties hereto, as additional Guarantors (each an “Additional Guarantor”), by
executing a counterpart to this Guaranty substantially in the form of Exhibit A annexed
hereto (a “Counterpart”). Upon
delivery of any such Counterpart to Guarantied Party, notice of which is hereby
waived by Guarantors, each such Additional Guarantor shall be a Guarantor and
shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Guarantor were an
original signatory hereof. Each Guarantor expressly agrees that its
obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the
addition or release of any other Guarantor hereunder, nor by any election of the
Guarantied Party not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional
Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty shall be fully effective as to any
Guarantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other
Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Guarantor
hereunder.
16. Counterparts;
Effectiveness. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original for
all purposes; but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and
the same instrument. This Guaranty shall become effective as to each

receipt by the Guarantied Party of written or telephonic notification of such
execution and authorization of delivery thereof.
17. Guarantied
Party as Agent.
(a) Guarantied
Party has been appointed to act as Guarantied Party hereunder by
Lenders. Guarantied Party shall be obligated, and shall have the
right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action, solely in
accordance with this Guaranty and the Credit Agreement; provided that
Guarantied Party shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies under
or with respect to this Guaranty in accordance with the instructions of
(i) Requisite Lenders, or (ii) after payment in full of all
Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the
cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the termination of the
Commitments, the holders of a majority of (A) the aggregate notional amount
under all Lender Swap Agreements (including Lender Swap Agreements that have
been terminated) or (B) if all Lender Swap Agreements have been terminated
in accordance with their terms, the aggregate amount then due and payable
(exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination
payments then due) under such Lender Swap Agreements (Requisite Lenders or, if
applicable, such holders being referred to herein as “Requisite
Obligees”).
(b) Guarantied
Party shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under
the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Administrative
Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute
notice of resignation as Guarantied Party under this Guaranty; and appointment
of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit
Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Guarantied Party
under this Guaranty. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent under subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement by a
successor
Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Guarantied Party under this Guaranty, and the retiring
Guarantied Party under this Guaranty shall promptly (i) transfer to such
successor Guarantied Party all sums held hereunder, together with all records
and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance
of the duties of the successor Guarantied Party under this Guaranty, and
(ii) take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate in
connection with the assignment to such successor Guarantied Party of the rights
created hereunder, whereupon such retiring Guarantied Party shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations under this Guaranty. After any
retiring Guarantied Party’s resignation hereunder as Guarantied Party, the
provisions of this Guaranty shall inure to its benefits as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it under this Guaranty while it was Guarantied Party
hereunder.
18. Notice of Lender Swap
Agreements. Guarantied Party shall not be deemed to have any
duty whatsoever with respect to any Swap Counterparty until it shall have
received written notice in form and substance satisfactory to Guarantied Party
from Company, a Guarantor or the Swap Counterparty as to the existence and terms
of the applicable Lender Swap Agreement.
19. Schedules by Non-Material Subsidiary
Guarantors.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, no Non-Material Subsidiary Guarantor
shall be required to deliver the Schedule to be annexed hereto on the date
hereof and each Non-Material Subsidiary Guarantor shall deliver such Schedule in
accordance with subsection 6.10D of the Credit Agreement.

PRELIMINARY
STATEMENTS
A. Pursuant
to the Credit Agreement dated as of November 15, 2007 (said Credit Agreement, as
it may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time, being the “Credit
Agreement”; the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined in

and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to extend certain credit
facilities to Company.
B. Company
or a Subsidiary of Company may from time to time enter, or may from time to time
have entered, into one or more Lender Swap Agreements with one or more Swap
Counterparties in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and it is
desired that the obligations of Company or such Subsidiary of Company under the
Lender Swap Agreements, including the obligation of Company or such Subsidiary
of Company to make payments thereunder in the event of early termination
thereof, together with all obligations of Company under the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, be secured hereunder.
C. Subsidiary
Grantors have executed and delivered the Subsidiary Guaranty in favor of Secured
Party for the benefit of Lenders and any Swap Counterparties, pursuant to which
each Subsidiary Grantor has guarantied the prompt payment and performance when
due of all obligations of Company under the Credit Agreement and all obligations
of Company and the applicable Subsidiaries of Company under the Lender Swap
Agreements.
D. It
is a condition precedent to the initial extensions of credit by Lenders under
the Credit Agreement that Grantors listed on the signature pages hereof shall
have granted the security interests and undertaken the obligations contemplated
by this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the agreements set forth herein and in the
Credit
Agreement and in order to induce Lenders to make Loans and other extensions of
credit under the Credit Agreement and to induce Swap Counterparties to enter
into the Lender Swap Agreements, each Grantor hereby agrees with Secured Party
as follows:
SECTION
1. Grant of
Security.
Each
Grantor hereby assigns to Secured Party, and hereby grants to Secured Party a
security interest in, all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to
all of the personal property of such Grantor, in each case whether now or
hereafter existing, whether tangible or intangible, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, wherever the same may be located and whether or not subject
to the Uniform Commercial Code as it exists on the date of this Agreement, or as
it may hereafter be amended, in the State of New York (the “UCC”), including all Assigned
Agreements and the following (the “Collateral”):
(a) all
Accounts;
(b) all
Chattel Paper;
(c) all Money
and all Deposit Accounts, together with all amounts on deposit from time to time
in such Deposit Accounts;
(d) all
Documents;
(e) all
General Intangibles, including all intellectual property, Payment Intangibles
and Software;
(f) all
Goods, including Inventory, Equipment and Fixtures;
(g) all
Instruments;
(h) all
Investment Property;
(i) all
Letter-of-Credit Rights and other Supporting Obligations;
(j) all
Records;
(k) all
Commercial Tort Claims, including those set forth on Schedule 1 annexed
hereto; and
(l) all
Proceeds and Accessions with respect to any of the foregoing
Collateral.
Each
category of Collateral set forth above shall have the meaning set forth in the
UCC (to the extent such term is defined in the UCC), it being the intention of
Grantors that the description of the Collateral set forth above be construed to
include the broadest possible range of assets.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Collateral include, and
no Grantor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, any of such
Grantor’s
rights or
interests in or under, any license, contract, permit, Instrument, Security or
franchise to which such Grantor is a party or any of its rights or interests
thereunder to the extent, but only to the extent, that such a grant would, under
the terms of such license, contract, permit, Instrument, Security or franchise,
result in a breach of the terms of, or constitute a default under, such license,
contract, permit, Instrument, Security or franchise (other than to the extent
that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to the UCC or any
other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity);
provided, that
immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such provision
the Collateral shall include, and such Grantor shall be deemed to have granted a
security interest in, all such rights and interests as if such provision had
never been in effect.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include (a) any Equity Interests in
Joint Ventures, Dormant Subsidiaries or Excluded Subsidiaries, (b) any Pledged
Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) pledged pursuant to the Pledge
Agreement, (c) any Equity Interests issued by a Foreign Subsidiary to the extent
that creation of a security interest by a Grantor in such Equity Interests could
reasonably be expected to result in material adverse Tax consequences to
Company, it being acknowledged and agreed that the creation of a security
interest in Equity Interests possessing up to 66% of the voting power of all
classes of the Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiary entitled to vote will
not result in such adverse Tax consequences, or (d) any Equity Interests in
Persons that are subject to prohibitions on granting a security interest or
otherwise transferring such Equity Interests under state or local laws or under
such Person’s Organizational Documents but only if such Organizational Documents
may not be amended or otherwise modified to permit the granting of a security
interest under this Agreement.
SECTION
2. Security
for Obligations.
This
Agreement secures, and the Collateral is collateral security for, the prompt
payment or performance in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by required
prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Secured
Obligations of each Grantor. “Secured Obligations”
means:
(a) with
respect to Company, all obligations and liabilities of every nature of Company
now or hereafter existing under or arising out of or in connection with the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any Lender Swap Agreement;
and
(b) with
respect to each Subsidiary Grantor and Additional Grantor, all obligations and
liabilities of every nature of such Subsidiary Grantor now or hereafter existing
under or arising out of or in connection with the Subsidiary
Guaranty;
in each
case together with all extensions or renewals thereof, whether for principal,
interest, reimbursement of amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, payments for
early termination of Lender Swap Agreements, fees, expenses, indemnities or
otherwise, whether voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others,
and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later
increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or
liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is
avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Secured Party or any Lender or
Swap Counterparty as a preference, fraudulent
transfer
or otherwise, and all obligations of every nature of Grantors now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement (including interest and other amounts that, but
for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Company or any other
Grantor, would accrue on such obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed
against Company or such Grantor for such amounts in the related bankruptcy
proceeding).
SECTION
3. Grantors
Remain Liable.
Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall
remain liable under any contracts, licenses and agreements included in the
Collateral, to the extent set forth therein, to perform all of its duties and
obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been
executed, (b) the exercise by Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder
shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the
contracts, licenses and agreements included in the Collateral, and
(c) Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any
contracts, licenses, and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this
Agreement, nor shall Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect
or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
SECTION
4. Representations
and Warranties.
Each
Grantor represents and warrants as follows:
(a) Ownership of
Collateral. Except as expressly permitted by the Credit
Agreement, such Grantor owns its interests in the Collateral free and clear of
any Lien and no effective financing statement or other instrument similar in
effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any filing or
recording office, including any IP Filing Office.
(b) Perfection. The
security interests in the Collateral granted to Secured Party for the ratable
benefit of Lenders and Swap Counterparties hereunder constitute valid security
interests in the Collateral, securing the payment of the Secured
Obligations. Upon (i) the filing of UCC financing statements
naming each Grantor as “debtor”, naming Secured Party as “secured party” and
describing the Collateral in the filing offices with respect to such Grantor set
forth on Schedule 2
annexed hereto, (ii) in the case of the Securities Collateral consisting of
certificated Securities or evidenced by Instruments, in addition to filing of
such UCC financing statements, delivery of the certificates representing such
certificated Securities and delivery of such Instruments to Secured Party (and

required under foreign law to perfect a security interest in such Securities
Collateral), in each case duly endorsed or accompanied by duly executed
instruments of assignment or transfer in blank, and (iii) in the case of
the Intellectual Property Collateral, in addition to the filing of such UCC
financing statements, the recordation of a Grant with the applicable IP Filing
Office, the security interests in the Collateral granted to Secured Party for
the ratable benefit of Lenders and Swap Counterparties will constitute perfected
security interests therein prior to all other Liens (except for Permitted
Encumbrances and Liens permitted by subsection 7.2A(iv) of the Credit Agreement)
securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, and all filings and other
actions necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security interests
have been, or promptly after the Closing Date will be, duly made or
taken.

annexed hereto, except for Inventory which, in the ordinary course of business,
is in transit either (i) from a supplier to a Grantor, (ii) between

or threatened claim by any third party that any of the Intellectual Property
Collateral owned, held or used by such Grantor is invalid or unenforceable
except for such claims that in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Party may request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted
or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any
Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Grantor will: (i) if requested by Secured Party, notify Secured
Party in writing of receipt by such Grantor of any interest in Chattel Paper
and, at the request of Secured Party, xxxx conspicuously each item of Chattel
Paper and each of its records pertaining to the Collateral with a legend, in
form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, indicating that such

thereto, (B) in the event that the Company Debt Rating is Ba3 or lower from

$500,000 or more at any time and Investment Property of such Grantor except with
respect to Deposit Accounts maintained for the purpose of paying claims under
self-insured health care plans, (C) deliver such documents, instruments,
notices, records and consents and take such other actions necessary to establish
that Secured Party has control over electronic Chattel Paper and
Letter-of-Credit Rights of such Grantor and (D) deliver such other
instruments or notices, in each case, as may be necessary or desirable, or as
Secured Party may request, in order to perfect and preserve the security
interests granted or purported to be granted hereby, (iv) furnish to
Secured Party from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and
describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the
Collateral as Secured Party may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail,
(v) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any
reasonable time during normal business hours, one time per Fiscal Year upon
reasonable notice by Secured Party and upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, at any time, exhibit the Collateral to and
allow inspection of the Collateral by Secured Party, or persons designated by
Secured Party, (vi) at Secured Party’s
reasonable
request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such

part of the Collateral, (vii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
any necessary consents of third parties to the creation and perfection of a
security interest in favor of Secured Party with respect to any material

with the Federal Anti-Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3727 (1998), and the Federal
Anti-Assignment Act, 41 U.S.C. § 15 (1994). Each Grantor hereby
authorizes Secured Party to file one or more financing or continuation
statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the
Collateral (including any financing statement indicating that it covers “all
assets” or “all personal property” of such Grantor) without the signature of any
Grantor.
(b) Securities
Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
Section 5(a), each Grantor agrees that (i) all certificates or Instruments
representing or evidencing the Securities Collateral shall be delivered to and
held by or on behalf of Secured Party pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable
form for transfer by delivery or, as applicable, shall be accompanied by such
Grantor’s endorsement, where necessary, or duly executed instruments of transfer
or assignments in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party
and (ii) it will, upon obtaining any additional Equity Interests, promptly
(and in any event within 30 days) deliver to Secured Party a Pledge Supplement,
duly executed by such Grantor, in respect of such additional Pledged Equity;
provided, that
the failure of any Grantor to execute a Pledge Supplement with respect to any
additional Pledged Equity shall not impair the security interest of Secured
Party therein or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of Secured
Party hereunder with respect thereto. Upon each such acquisition, the
representations and warranties contained in Section 4(e) shall be deemed to have
been made by such Grantor as to such Pledged Equity, whether or not such Pledge
Supplement is delivered.
(c) Intellectual Property
Collateral. Each Grantor shall promptly notify Secured Party
in writing of any rights to Intellectual Property Collateral acquired by such
Grantor after the date hereof within 30 days of knowledge of such acquisition by
a Responsible Officer. Promptly after the filing of an application
for any Trademark Registration and within 30 days of knowledge of such filing by
a Responsible Officer, Patent or Copyright Registration, each Grantor shall
execute and deliver to Secured Party an IP Supplement, and submit a Grant for
recordation with respect thereto in the applicable IP Filing Office; provided, the failure
of any Grantor to execute an IP Supplement or submit a Grant for recordation
with respect to any additional Intellectual Property Collateral shall not impair
the security interest of Secured Party therein or otherwise adversely affect the
rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder with respect
thereto. Upon delivery to Secured Party of an IP Supplement, Schedules 7, 8 and 9 annexed hereto and
Schedule A to
each Grant, as applicable, shall be deemed modified to include a reference to
any right, title or interest in any existing Intellectual Property Collateral or
any Intellectual Property Collateral set forth on Schedule A to such IP
Supplement. Upon each such acquisition, the representations and
warranties contained in Section 4(f) shall be deemed to have been made by such
Grantor as to such Intellectual Property Collateral, whether or not such IP
Supplement is delivered.
(d) Commercial Tort Claims. Grantors
have no Commercial Tort Claims as of the date hereof, except as set forth on
Schedule 1
annexed hereto. In the event that a Grantor shall at any time after
the date hereof have any Commercial Tort Claims, such Grantor shall
promptly (and
in any event within 30 days) notify Secured Party thereof in writing, which
notice shall (i) set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and nature of such
Commercial Tort Claim and (ii) constitute an amendment to this Agreement by
which such Commercial Tort Claim shall constitute part of the
Collateral.
SECTION
6. Certain
Covenants of Grantors.
Each
Grantor shall:
(a) not use
or permit any Collateral to be used unlawfully or in violation of any provision
of this Agreement or any applicable material statute, regulation or ordinance or
any policy of insurance covering the Collateral;
(b) give
Secured Party written notice of (i) any change in such Grantor’s name, identity
or corporate structure within 15 days of a Responsible Officer’s knowledge of
such change and (ii) any reincorporation, reorganization or other action that
results in a change of the jurisdiction of organization of such Grantor within
15 days of a Responsible Officer’s knowledge of such change;
(c) if
Secured Party gives value to enable such Grantor to acquire rights in or the use
of any Collateral, use such value for such purposes;
(d) keep
correct and accurate Records of Collateral at the locations described in Schedule 3 annexed
hereto; and
(e) permit
representatives of Secured Party at any time during normal business hours upon
reasonable notice to inspect and make abstracts from such Records one time in
each Fiscal Year and, following the occurrence and during the continuation of
any Event of Default, at any time or from time to time, and each Grantor agrees
to render to Secured Party, at such Grantor’s cost and expense, such clerical
and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard
thereto.
SECTION
7. Special
Covenants With Respect to Equipment and Inventory.
Each
Grantor shall promptly upon the issuance and delivery to such Grantor of any
negotiable Document, deliver such Document to Secured Party.
SECTION
8. Special
Covenants with respect to Accounts and Assigned
Agreements.
(a) Each
Grantor shall, for not less than three years from the date on which each Account
of such Grantor arose, maintain (i) complete Records of such Account,
including records of all payments received, credits granted and merchandise
returned, and (ii) all documentation relating thereto.
(b) Except as
otherwise provided in this subsection (b), each Grantor shall continue to
collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor
under the Accounts. In connection with such collections, each Grantor
may take (and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default at Secured Party’s direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor or
Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to enforce
collection
of amounts due or to become due under the Accounts; provided, however,
that Secured Party shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written notice to such
Grantor of its intention to do so, to (i) notify the account debtors or obligors
under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to Secured Party and to
direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to
become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to Secured Party, (ii) notify
each Person maintaining a lockbox or similar arrangement to which account
debtors or obligors under any Accounts have been directed to make payment to
remit all amounts representing collections on checks and other payment items
from time to time sent to or deposited in such lockbox or other arrangement
directly to Secured Party, (iii) enforce collection of any such Accounts at the
expense of Grantors, and (iv) adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment
thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have
done. After receipt by such Grantor of the notice from Secured Party
referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (A) all amounts and
proceeds (including checks and other Instruments) received by such Grantor in
respect of the Accounts shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured
Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall
be forthwith paid over or delivered to Secured Party in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and
applied as provided by Section 16, and (B) such Grantor shall not,
without the written consent of Secured Party, adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment of any Account, or release wholly or partly any account debtor
or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.
(c) Each
Grantor shall at its expense:
(i) unless
determined in its good faith judgment not to be in the best interest of
Grantor’s business or if consistent with sound business practices, perform and
observe all terms and provisions of the Assigned Agreements to be performed or
observed by it, maintain the Assigned Agreements in full force and effect,
enforce the Assigned Agreements in accordance with their terms, and take all
such action to such end as may be from time to time reasonably requested by
Secured Party; and
(ii) upon
request of Secured Party, (A) furnish to Secured Party, promptly upon receipt
thereof, copies of all notices, requests and other documents received by such
Grantor under or pursuant to the Assigned Agreements and from time to time such
information and reports regarding the Assigned Agreements as Secured Party may
reasonably request and (B) upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, make to the parties to such Assigned Agreements such
demands and requests for information and reports or for action as such Grantor
is entitled to make under the Assigned Agreements.
(d) Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Grantor shall
(i) cancel or terminate any of the Assigned Agreements or consent to or
accept any cancellation or termination thereof; (ii) amend or otherwise
modify the Assigned Agreements or give any consent, waiver or approval
thereunder; (iii) waive any default under or breach of the Assigned
Agreements; (iv) consent to or permit or accept any prepayment of amounts
to become due under or in connection with the Assigned Agreements, except as
expressly provided therein; or (v) take any other action in connection with
the Assigned
Agreements
that could reasonably be expected to materially impair the value of the interest
or rights of such Grantor thereunder or that could reasonably be expected to
materially impair the interest or rights of Secured Party.
SECTION
9. Special
Covenants With Respect to the Securities Collateral.
(a) Form of Securities
Collateral. If any Securities Collateral is not a Security
pursuant to Section 8-103 of the UCC, no Grantor shall take any action that,
under such Section, converts such Securities Collateral into a Security without
causing the issuer thereof to issue to it certificates or instruments evidencing
such Securities Collateral, which it shall promptly deliver to Secured Party as
provided in Section 5(b).
(b) Covenants. Each
Grantor shall (i) not, except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement,
permit any issuer of Pledged Equity to merge or consolidate unless all the
outstanding Equity Interests of the surviving or resulting Person are, upon such
merger or consolidation, subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of
Section 1, pledged and become Collateral hereunder and no cash, securities or
other property is distributed in respect of the outstanding Equity Interests of
any other constituent Person; (ii) cause each issuer of Pledged Equity not
to issue Equity Interests in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged
Equity issued by such issuer, except to such Grantor or except as expressly
permitted by the Credit Agreement; (iii) immediately upon its acquisition
(directly or indirectly) of any Equity Interests, including additional Equity
Interests in each issuer of Pledged Equity, comply with Section 5(b), subject to
the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1; (iv) promptly deliver to
Secured Party all written notices received by it with respect to the Securities
Collateral; and (v) at its expense (A) perform and comply in all material
respects with all terms and provisions of any agreement related to the
Securities Collateral required to be performed or complied with by it,
(B) maintain all such agreements in full force and effect and
(C) enforce all such agreements in accordance with their
terms.
(c) Voting and
Distributions. So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, (i) each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any
and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Securities
Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of
this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; provided, no Grantor
shall exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if Secured Party shall
have notified such Grantor that, in Secured Party’s reasonable, good faith
judgment, such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the
Securities Collateral or any part thereof; (ii) each Grantor shall be entitled
to receive and retain any and all dividends, other distributions, principal and
interest paid in respect of the Securities Collateral; and (iii) Secured Party
shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to
such Grantor all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as
such Grantor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of
enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which
it is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i) above and to receive the
dividends, distributions, principal or interest payments which it is authorized
to receive and retain pursuant to clause (ii) above.
Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (x) upon written
notice from Secured Party to any Grantor, all rights of such Grantor to exercise
the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to
exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become
vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon
have the
sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; (y) except as
otherwise specified in the Credit Agreement, all rights of such Grantor to
receive the dividends, other distributions, principal and interest payments
which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant hereto
shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party
who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such
dividends, other distributions, principal and interest payments; and (z) all
dividends, principal, interest payments and other distributions which are
received by such Grantor contrary to the provisions of clause (y) above shall be
received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, shall be segregated from
other funds of such Grantor and shall forthwith be paid over to Secured Party as
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsements).
In order
to permit Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which
it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and
other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (I) each
Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to Secured Party all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other
instruments as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request, and (II)
without limiting the effect of clause (I) above, each Grantor hereby grants to
Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Equity and to exercise
all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the
Pledged Equity would be entitled (including giving or withholding written
consents of holders of Equity Interests, calling special meetings of holders of
Equity Interests and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective,
automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of
any Pledged Equity on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other
Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Equity or any officer or agent
thereof), only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the
Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations), the cure of such Event
of Default or waiver thereof as evidenced by a writing executed by Secured
Party.
SECTION 10. Special
Covenants With Respect to the Intellectual Property
Collateral.
(a) Each
Grantor shall:
(i) use best
efforts so as not to permit the inclusion in any contract to which it hereafter
becomes a party of any provision that could or might in any way impair or
prevent the creation of a security interest in, or the assignment of, such
Grantor’s rights and interests in any property included within the definitions
of any Intellectual Property Collateral acquired under such
contracts;
(ii) take any
and all reasonable steps to protect the secrecy of all trade secrets relating to
the products and services sold or delivered under or in connection with the
Intellectual Property Collateral, including where appropriate entering into
confidentiality agreements with employees and labeling and restricting access to
secret information and documents;
(iii) use
proper statutory notice in connection with its use of any of the Intellectual
Property Collateral and products and services covered by the Intellectual
Property Collateral; and
(iv) use a
commercially appropriate standard of quality (which may be consistent with such
Grantor’s past practices) in the manufacture, sale and delivery of products and
services sold or delivered under or in connection with the
Trademarks.
(b) Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 10, each Grantor shall continue to collect,
at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect
of the Intellectual Property Collateral or any portion thereof. In
connection with such collections, each Grantor may take (and, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default at Secured Party’s
reasonable direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor or Secured Party
may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection of such
amounts; provided, Secured
Party shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of
its intention to do so, to notify the obligors with respect to any such amounts
of the existence of the security interest created hereby and to direct such
obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to Secured Party, and,
upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection
of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment
thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have
done. After receipt by any Grantor of the notice from Secured Party
referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence and upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) all amounts and
proceeds (including checks and Instruments) received by each Grantor in respect
of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property
Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of
Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor
and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Secured Party in the same form
as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral
and applied as provided by Section 16, and (ii) such Grantor shall not
adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release
wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or
discount thereon.
(c) Each
Grantor shall have the duty diligently to prosecute, file and/or make, unless
and until such Grantor, in its commercially reasonable judgment, decides
otherwise, (i) any application for registration relating to any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral owned, held or used by such Grantor and set
forth on Schedules
7, 8 or
9 annexed
hereto, as applicable, that is pending as of the date of this Agreement,
(ii) any Copyright Registration on any existing or future unregistered but
copyrightable works (except for works of nominal commercial value or with
respect to which such Grantor has determined in the exercise of its commercially
reasonable judgment that it shall not seek registration), (iii) any
application on any future patentable but unpatented innovation or invention
comprising Intellectual Property Collateral, and (iv) any Trademark
opposition and cancellation proceedings, renew Trademark Registrations and
Copyright Registrations and do any and all acts which are necessary or desirable
to preserve and maintain all rights in all Intellectual Property
Collateral. Any expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be
borne solely by Grantors. Subject to the foregoing, each Grantor
shall give Secured Party prior written notice of any abandonment of any
Intellectual Property Collateral.
(d) Except as
provided herein, each Grantor shall have the right to commence and prosecute in
its own name, as real party in interest, for its own benefit and at its own
expense, such suits, proceedings or other actions for infringement, unfair
competition, dilution, misappropriation or other damage, or reexamination or
reissue proceedings as are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property
Collateral. Secured Party shall provide, at such Grantor’s expense,
all reasonable and necessary cooperation in connection with any such suit,
proceeding or action including joining as a necessary party. Each
Grantor shall promptly, following its becoming aware thereof, notify Secured
Party of the institution of, or of any adverse determination in, any proceeding
(whether in an IP Filing Office or any federal, state, local or foreign court)
or regarding such Grantor’s ownership, right to use, or interest in any
Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Grantor shall provide to
Secured Party any information with respect thereto requested by Secured
Party.
(e) In
addition to, and not by way of limitation of, the granting of a security
interest in the Collateral pursuant hereto, each Grantor, effective upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, hereby assigns,
transfers and conveys to Secured Party the nonexclusive right and license to use
all Trademarks, tradenames, Copyrights, Patents or technical processes
(including the Intellectual Property Collateral) owned or used by such Grantor
that relate to the Collateral, together with any goodwill associated therewith,
all to the extent necessary to enable Secured Party to realize on the Collateral
in accordance with this Agreement and to enable any transferee or assignee of
the Collateral to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral. This right
shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of Secured
Party and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary
conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license shall be granted
free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made
to such Grantor. If and to the extent that any Grantor is permitted
to license the Intellectual Property Collateral, Secured Party shall promptly
enter into a non-disturbance agreement or other similar arrangement, at such
Grantor’s request and expense, with such Grantor and any licensee of any
Intellectual Property Collateral permitted hereunder in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party pursuant to which (i) Secured
Party shall agree not to disturb or interfere with such licensee’s rights under
its license agreement with such Grantor so long as such licensee is not in
default thereunder, and (ii) such licensee shall acknowledge and agree that
the Intellectual Property Collateral licensed to it is subject to the security
interest created in favor of Secured Party and the other terms of this
Agreement.
SECTION
11. Secured
Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as such Grantor’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and
in the name of such Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in
Secured Party’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that
Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including:
(a) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to obtain and
adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to Secured
Party pursuant to the Credit Agreement;
(b) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to ask for,
demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and
receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the
Collateral;
(c) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to receive,
endorse and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents, Chattel Paper
and other documents in connection with clauses (a) and (b) above;
(d) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to file any claims
or take any action or institute any proceedings that Secured Party may deem
necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise
to enforce or protect the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the
Collateral;
(e) to pay or
discharge taxes or Liens (other than taxes not required to be discharged
pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Liens permitted under this Agreement or the
Credit Agreement) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral,
the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same
to be determined by Secured Party in its sole discretion, any such payments made
by Secured Party to become obligations of such Grantor to Secured Party, due and
payable immediately without demand;
(f) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to sign and
endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or
warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and
notices in connection with Accounts and other documents relating to the
Collateral; and
(g) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell,
transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any
of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Secured Party’s option
and Grantors’ expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things
that Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein in order to effect the
intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might
do.
SECTION
12. Secured
Party May Perform.
If any
Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may
itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of
Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantors
under Section 17(b).
SECTION
13. Standard
of Care.
The
powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such
powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of
any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received
by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to
the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
Collateral in its possession if such Collateral
is
accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its
own property.
SECTION
14. Remedies.
(a) Generally. If any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may,
subject to Section 19, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in
addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under
the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also
may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it
will at its expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or
part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to
Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably
convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any
Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial
process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process,
repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for
disposition in any manner to the extent Secured Party deems appropriate,
(iv) take possession of any Grantor’s premises or place custodians in
exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of
such Grantor’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process,
taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any
Secured Obligation, (v) without notice except as specified below, sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale,
at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for
future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such
other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, (vi) exercise
dominion and control over and refuse to permit further withdrawals from any
Deposit Account maintained with Secured Party or any Lender and provide
instructions directing the disposition of funds in Deposit Accounts not
maintained with Secured Party or any Lender and (vii) provide
entitlement orders with respect to Security Entitlements and other Investment
Property constituting a part of the Collateral and, without notice to any
Grantor, transfer to or register in the name of Secured Party or any of its
nominees any or all of the Securities Collateral. Secured Party or
any Lender or Swap Counterparty may be the purchaser of any or all of the
Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, as agent for and representative
of Lenders and Swap Counterparties (but not any Lender or Swap Counterparty in
its individual capacity unless Requisite Obligees shall otherwise agree in
writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or
payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at
any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a
credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured
Party at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the
property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any
Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable
law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at
any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of
sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the
time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to
be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall
not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private
sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it
was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against
Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any
Collateral
may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might
have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first
offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one
offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall
be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys
employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor
further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section
14 will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party has no
adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that
each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically
enforceable against such Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and agrees not
to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such
covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the
Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated
maturities.
(b) Securities
Collateral. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any
part of the Securities Collateral conducted without prior registration or
qualification of such Securities Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such
state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other
things, to acquire the Securities Collateral for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private placement
may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a
sale without such restrictions (including an offering made pursuant to a
registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such
circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private placement shall not be
deemed, in and of itself, to be commercially unreasonable and that Secured Party
shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral for the
period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form
of sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable
state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so
register it. If Secured Party determines to exercise its right to
sell any or all of the Securities Collateral, upon written request, each Grantor
shall and shall cause each issuer of any Securities Collateral to be sold
hereunder from time to time to furnish to Secured Party all such information as
Secured Party may request in order to determine the amount of Securities
Collateral that may be sold by Secured Party in exempt transactions under the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
SECTION
15. Additional
Remedies for Intellectual Property Collateral.
(a) Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Secured Party shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name of any Grantor,
Secured Party or otherwise, to enforce any Intellectual Property Collateral, in
which event each Grantor shall, at the request of Secured Party, do any and all
lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by Secured Party in aid
of such enforcement and each Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and
indemnify Secured Party as provided in subsections 10.2 and 10.3 of the Credit
Agreement and Section 17, as applicable, in connection with the exercise of its
rights under this Section 15, and, to the extent that Secured Party shall elect
not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property Collateral as provided in
this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all
reasonable
measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the
infringement of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by others and for
that purpose agrees to use its commercially reasonable judgment in maintaining
any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing reasonably
necessary to prevent such infringement; (ii) upon written demand from
Secured Party, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to Secured Party an
assignment or assignments of the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other
documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes
of this Agreement; (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or
recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to
the extent that Secured Party (or any Lender) receives cash proceeds in respect
of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property Collateral;
and (iv) within five Business Days after written notice from Secured Party,
each Grantor shall make available to Secured Party, to the extent within such
Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ as
Secured Party may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to
permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise
and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in
connection with the Trademarks, Trademark Registrations and Trademark Rights,
such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on Secured Party’s
behalf and to be compensated by Secured Party at such Grantor’s expense on a per
diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable
to each as of the date of such Event of Default.
(b) If
(i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no
other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an
assignment to Secured Party of any rights, title and interests in and to the
Intellectual Property Collateral shall have been previously made, and
(iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and
payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, Secured Party shall promptly
execute and deliver to such Grantor such assignments as may be necessary to
reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been
assigned to Secured Party as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that
may have been made by Secured Party; provided, after giving effect to such
reassignment, Secured Party’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well
as all other rights and remedies of Secured Party granted hereunder, shall
continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title
and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of all Liens other than
Liens (if any) encumbering such rights, title and interest at the time of their
assignment to Secured Party and Permitted Encumbrances.
SECTION
16. Application
of Proceeds.
Except as
expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Secured
Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all
or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as provided in subsection 2.4D of
the Credit Agreement.
SECTION
17. Indemnity
and Expenses.
(a) Grantors
jointly and severally agree to indemnify Secured Party, each Lender and each
Swap Counterparty from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in
any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (including enforcement of this Agreement),
except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result solely from
Secured Party’s or such Lender’s or Swap
Counterparty’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
(b) Grantors
jointly and severally agree to pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of
any and all costs and expenses in accordance with subsection 10.2 of the Credit
Agreement.
(c) The
obligations of Grantors in this Section 17 shall (i) survive the
termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Grantors’ other obligations
under this Agreement, the Lender Swap Agreements, the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and (ii), as to any Grantor that is a party to a Subsidiary
Guaranty, be subject to the provisions of Section 1(b) thereof.
SECTION 18. Continuing
Security Interest; Transfer of Loans; Termination and
Release.
(a) This
Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and
shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the
Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations), the cancellation or
termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all
outstanding Letters of Credit (or the securing of reimbursement Obligations in
respect thereof with cash collateral or letters of credit in a manner
satisfactory to Secured Party), (ii) be binding upon Grantors and their
respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure, together with the
rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party
and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (iii), (A) but subject to the provisions of
subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall
thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to
Lenders herein or otherwise and (B) any Swap Counterparty may assign or
otherwise transfer any Lender Swap Agreement to which it is a party to any other
Person in accordance with the terms of such Lender Swap Agreement, and such
other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect
thereof granted to Swap Counterparties herein or otherwise.
(b) Upon the
payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations),
the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or
expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or the securing of
reimbursement Obligations in respect thereof with cash collateral or letters of
credit in a manner satisfactory to Secured Party), the security interest granted
hereby (other than with respect to any cash collateral in respect of Letters of
Credit) shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the
applicable Grantors. Upon any such termination Secured Party will, at
Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to Grantors such documents as Grantors
shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. In addition,
upon the proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral by a Grantor to
any Person (other than an Affiliate of Company) in accordance with the Credit
Agreement for which such Grantor desires a security interest release from
Secured Party, such a release may be obtained pursuant to the provisions of
subsection 10.14 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION
19. Secured
Party as Agent.
(a) Secured
Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party hereunder by Lenders and, by
their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Swap Counterparties. Secured
Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands,
to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take
or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of
Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement;
provided that Secured Party shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any
remedies provided for in Section 14 in accordance with the instructions of
Requisite Obligees. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 19(a), each Swap Counterparty, by its acceptance of the
benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon
any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Swap
Counterparty that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by
Secured Party for the benefit of Lenders and Swap Counterparties in accordance
with the terms of this Section 19(a).
(b) Secured
Party shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under
the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Administrative
Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute
notice of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement; and appointment of
a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5 of the Credit
Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Secured Party under
this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent under subsection 9.5 of the Credit Agreement by a successor
Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Secured Party under this Agreement, and the retiring Secured
Party under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor
Secured Party all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder,
together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in
connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party
under this Agreement, and (ii) execute (if necessary) and deliver to such
successor Secured Party such amendments to financing statements, and take such
other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the
assignment to such successor Secured Party of the security interests created
hereunder, whereupon such retiring Secured Party shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of
this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Secured Party
hereunder.
(c) Secured
Party shall not be deemed to have any duty whatsoever with respect to any Swap
Counterparty until it shall have received written notice in form and substance
satisfactory to Secured Party from a Grantor or the Swap Counterparty as to the
existence and terms of the applicable Lender Swap Agreement.
SECTION
20. Additional
Grantors.
The
initial Grantors hereunder shall be Company and such of the Subsidiaries of
Company as are signatories hereto on the date hereof. From time to
time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Company may
become Additional Grantors, by executing a Counterpart. Upon delivery
of any such Counterpart to Secured Party, notice of which is hereby
waived by
Grantors, each such Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully
a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory
hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising
hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any
other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Secured Party not to cause any
Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This
Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party
hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or
ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
SECTION
21. Amendments;
Etc.
No
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured
Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by Grantors; provided this
Agreement may be modified by the execution of a Counterpart by an Additional
Grantor in accordance with Section 20 and Grantors hereby waive any requirement
of notice of or consent to any such amendment. Any such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given.
SECTION
22. Notices.
Any
notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be
in writing and may be personally served or sent by telefacsimile or United
States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when
delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile, or
three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage
prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices
to Secured Party shall not be effective until received. For the
purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as provided in
subsection 10.8 of the Credit Agreement or, in the case of Secured Party, as set
forth under Secured Party’s name on the signature page hereof, and, in the case
of each Grantor, as set forth on Schedule A annexed
hereto, or such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written
notice delivered to the other parties hereto.
SECTION
23. Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
No
failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power,
right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be
construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or
privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are
cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise
available.
SECTION
24. Severability.
In case
any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in
any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.
SECTION
25. Headings.

Re: Federal/Washington
Group and URS Corporation
Dear Xx.
Xxxxx:
URS Corporation ("URS"), Washington
Group International, Inc. ("WGI"), and certain of their subsidiaries and
affiliates are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of the date
hereof, and related documents (the “Bank Credit Documents”). URS, WGI
and certain of their subsidiaries and affiliates are also parties to that
certain General Agreement of Indemnity, dated the date hereof, entered into with
Federal Insurance Company ("the Surety Credit Documents" and, together with the
Bank Credit Documents, the “Credit Documents”).
Pursuant to the Surety Credit
Documents, Federal Insurance Company and any of its subsidiary affiliated
insurers, including, but not limited to, Vigilant Insurance Company and Pacific
Indemnity Company, and their respective co-sureties and reinsurors, and their
respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Surety”) has issued Bonds
for URS and its subsidiaries and affiliates who are a party to the Surety Credit
Documents from time to time in connection with various projects and contracts
(including any such projects and contracts entered into in the future, each, a
“Bonded Contract”). In consideration of Surety's agreement to
authorize WGI and its related subsidiaries and affiliates to terminate all UCC
Financing Statements that are of record on the date hereof and the agreement of
Surety to terminate the Restated Underwriting and Continuing Indemnity Agreement
dated August 4, 2006, and related Restated Security Agreement and Intercreditor
Agreement dated August 4, 2006, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, in its
capacity as agent for the lenders under the terms of the Credit
Agreement ("Administrative Agent"), has agreed to the terms set forth
below.
1. Equitable
Subrogation. Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the lenders
hereby acknowledges and agrees that with respect to all funds due or to become
due under any Bonded Contract, nothing herein or in the Credit Documents will
waive, impair, or limit Surety's common law equitable subrogation rights, which
are hereby expressly recognized by Administrative
Agent. Administrative Agent will not instigate, promote, institute,
or join as a party in institution of any action, suit, or proceeding seeking to
challenge or limit, such equitable subrogation rights.
2. Use
of Equipment and Related Property. In the event that Surety decides,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to perform and complete, or to cause or
procure the performance and completion of any of the Bonded Contracts,
Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges that Surety, or any properly licensed
third party appointed by Surety, will have full access to and use of all
equipment and other real and personal property (the “Completion Property”) of
URS, WGI and other parties to the Surety Credit Documents which is necessary in
the judgment of the Surety for the discharge of the duties, obligations, and
undertakings of Surety under the Bonds issued in relation to such Bonded
Contracts. Any transfer, pursuant to foreclosure or otherwise, by
Administrative Agent of any interest in any of the Completion Property will be
made subject to these utilization provisions.
Upon a determination by Surety to
utilize, or reserve for utilization, said Completion Property, and, provided,
that, Administrative Agent has a first priority perfected security interest in
such Completion Property at such time, Surety will periodically (and in any
event no less frequently than monthly), pay Administrative Agent the fair market
rental value of the Completion Property for the period said Completion Property
is utilized, or reserved for utilization, by Surety or its appointee, in
consideration of the utilization of such Completion Property as is necessary to
fulfill the Bonded Contracts. In the event Surety and Administrative
Agent cannot agree on the above referenced "fair market rental value," then
Surety will be entitled to utilize the Completion Property during the period
that the parties are endeavoring to resolve their dispute and come to an
agreement regarding the "fair market rental value" while remaining liable
therefor for such periods. All disputes regarding the "fair rental market value"
will be determined by appraisal. Surety and Administrative Agent will
endeavor to agree on the selection of an appraiser of national recognition to
determine such "fair rental market value." In the event
Administrative Agent and Surety cannot agree on an appraiser, then each of
Surety and Administrative Agent will select an appraiser to determine said "fair
market rental value" and the average of the values so determined by these
appraisers will be the "fair market rental value." The appraiser's
determination will be deemed final and conclusive. The cost of the
appraisers will be borne by Indemnitors or, pending reimbursement by the
Indemnitors, each of the parties hereto equally.
During any period in which Surety is
utilizing, or reserving for utilization, the Completion Property, pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, Surety will preserve and maintain said Completion
Property in good repair, and will return said Completion Property in as good a
condition as when received by Surety, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. In addition, Surety will maintain insurance coverage
relative to the equipment and personal property during any period in which
Surety is utilizing, or reserving for utilization such property on the same
terms as Indemnitor is required under the Bank Credit Documents.
This agreement reflects the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby and will not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or
written, before the day hereof.
No amendment or waiver of any provision
of this agreement will in any event be effective unless the same will be in
writing and signed by each party hereto, and then such waiver or consent will be
effective only in the specific interest and to the specific purpose for which
given.
This
Agreement will be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of New
York and may be executed in any number of counterparts.
Sincerely,

also parties to that certain General Agreement of Indemnity, dated the date
hereof, entered into with American International Companies ("the Surety Credit
Documents" and, together with the Bank Credit Documents, the “Credit
Documents”).
Pursuant to the Surety Credit
Documents, American International Companies and any of its subsidiary affiliated
insurers and their respective co-sureties and reinsurors, and their respective
successors and assigns (collectively, the “Surety”) has issued or will issue
Bonds for URS and its subsidiaries and affiliates who are a party to the Surety
Credit Documents from time to time in connection with various projects and
contracts (including any such projects and contracts entered into in the future,
each, a “Bonded Contract”). Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association,
in its capacity as agent for the lenders under the terms of the
Credit Agreement ("Administrative Agent"), has agreed to the terms
set forth below.
1. Equitable
Subrogation. Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the lenders
hereby acknowledges and agrees that with respect to all funds due or to become
due under any Bonded Contract, nothing herein or in the Credit Documents will
waive, impair, or limit Surety's common law equitable subrogation rights, which
are hereby expressly recognized by Administrative
Agent. Administrative Agent will not instigate, promote, institute,
or join as a party in institution of any action, suit, or proceeding seeking to
challenge or limit, such equitable subrogation rights.
2. Use
of Equipment and Related Property. In the event that Surety decides,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to perform and complete, or to cause or
procure the performance and completion of any of the Bonded Contracts,
Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges that Surety, or any properly licensed
third party appointed by Surety, will have full access to and use
of all
equipment and other real and personal property (the “Completion Property”) of
URS and other parties to the Surety Credit Documents which is necessary in the
judgment of the Surety for the discharge of the duties, obligations, and
undertakings of Surety under the Bonds issued in relation to such Bonded
Contracts. Any transfer, pursuant to foreclosure or otherwise, by
Administrative Agent of any interest in any of the Completion Property will be
made subject to these utilization provisions.
Upon a determination by Surety to
utilize, or reserve for utilization, said Completion Property, and, provided,
that, Administrative Agent has a first priority perfected security interest in
such Completion Property at such time and has commenced or completed foreclosure
proceedings with respect to such property, Surety will periodically (and in any
event no less frequently than monthly), pay Administrative Agent the fair market
rental value of the Completion Property for the period said Completion Property
is utilized, or reserved for utilization, by Surety or its appointee, in
consideration of the utilization of such Completion Property as is necessary to
fulfill the Bonded Contracts. In the event Surety and Administrative
Agent cannot agree on the above referenced "fair market rental value," then
Surety will be entitled to utilize the Completion Property during the period
that the parties are endeavoring to resolve their dispute and come to an
agreement regarding the "fair market rental value" while remaining liable
therefor for such periods. All disputes regarding the "fair rental market value"
will be determined by appraisal. Surety and Administrative Agent will
endeavor to agree on the selection of an appraiser of national recognition to
determine such "fair rental market value." In the event
Administrative Agent and Surety cannot agree on an appraiser, then each of
Surety and Administrative Agent will select an appraiser to determine said "fair
market rental value" and the average of the values so determined by these
appraisers will be the "fair market rental value." The appraiser's
determination will be deemed final and conclusive. The cost of the
appraisers will be borne by Indemnitors or, pending reimbursement by the
Indemnitors, each of the parties hereto equally.
During any period in which Surety is
utilizing, or reserving for utilization, the Completion Property, pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, Surety will preserve and maintain said Completion
Property in good repair, and will return said Completion Property in as good a
condition as when received by Surety, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. In addition, Surety will maintain insurance coverage
relative to the equipment and personal property during any period in which
Surety is utilizing, or reserving for utilization such property on the same
terms as Indemnitor is required under the Bank Credit Documents.
This agreement reflects the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby and will not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or
written, before the day hereof.
No amendment or waiver of any provision
of this agreement will in any event be effective unless the same will be in
writing and signed by each party hereto, and then such waiver or consent will be
effective only in the specific interest and to the specific purpose for which
given.
This Agreement will be construed under
and governed by the laws of the State of New York and may be executed in any
number of counterparts.

Corporation
· Saudi Arabia: One of our
subsidiaries, Lear Seigler Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LSI”),
provided aircraft maintenance support services on F-5 aircraft under contracts
(the “F-5 Contract”) with a Saudi Arabian government ministry (the “Ministry”).
LSI completed its operational performance under the F-5 Contract in November
2000 and the Ministry has yet to pay a $12.2 million account receivable owed to
LSI. In addition, in 2004, the Ministry directed payment of a performance bond
outstanding under the F-5 contract for approximately $5.6 million. The following
legal proceedings ensued:
Two Saudi
Arabian landlords have pursued claims over disputed rents in Saudi Arabia. The
Saudi Arabian landlord of the Al Bilad complex received a judgment in Saudi
Arabia against LSI for $7.9 million. During the quarter ended March 30, 2007, Al
Bilad received payment of this judgment out of the $12.2 million receivable held
by the Ministry. As a result, we have reduced both our receivable and a reserve
against the Saudi Arabian judgment regarding the Al Bilad complex to reflect the
payment made by the Ministry. Another landlord has obtained a judgment in Saudi
Arabia against LSI for $1.2 million and LSI successfully appealed this decision
in June 2005 in Saudi Arabia, which was remanded for future proceedings. We
continue to review our legal position and strategy regarding these
judgments.
LSI was
involved in a dispute related to a tax assessment issued by the Saudi Arabian
taxing authority (“Zakat”) against LSI of approximately $5.1 million for the
years 1999 through 2002. LSI disagreed with the Zakat assessment and on June 6,
2006, the Zakat and Tax Preliminary Appeal Committee ruled partially in favor of
LSI by reducing the tax assessment to approximately $2.2 million. LSI has
appealed the decision of the Zakat and Tax Preliminary Appeal Committee in an
effort to eliminate or further reduce the assessment, and, as a part of that
appeal, posted a bond in the full amount of the remaining tax assessment. LSI
will continue to defend this matter vigorously.
In
November 2004, LSI filed suit against the Ministry in the United States District
Court for the Western District of Texas. The suit seeks damages for, among other
things, intentional interference with commercial relations caused by the
Ministry's wrongful demand of the performance bond; breach of the F-5 Contract;
unjust enrichment and promissory estoppel, and seeks payment of the $12.2
million account receivable. In March 2005, the Ministry filed a motion to
dismiss, which the District Court denied. In November 2005, the Ministry filed
another motion to dismiss, to which the District Court responded by ordering the
parties to conduct further discovery, which is ongoing. On April 12, 2007, the
Ministry filed a supplemental brief in support of its motion to dismiss. LSI
intends to continue to pursue this matter vigorously. On September
26, 2007, the District Court heard oral arguments on the motion to
dismiss. LSI intends to continue to pursue this matter
vigorously. On May 31, 2007, LSI filed a response objecting to the
Ministry’s motion to dismiss, to which the Ministry filed a reply brief on June
29, 2007. This matter would not be likely to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
· Lebanon: Our 1999 acquisition
of Dames and Moore Group, Inc. included the acquisition of a wholly owned
subsidiary, Radian International, LLC (“Radian”). Prior to the acquisition,
Radian entered into a contract with the Lebanese Company for the Development and
Reconstruction of Beirut Central District, S.A.L (“Solidere”). Under the
contract, Radian was to provide environmental remediation services at the
Normandy Landfill site located in Beirut, Lebanon (the “Normandy Project”).
Radian subcontracted a portion of these services to Mouawad – Edde SARL. The
contract with Solidere required the posting of a Letter of Guarantee, which was
issued by Saradar Bank, Sh.M.L. ("Saradar") for $8.5 million. Solidere drew upon
the full value of the Letter of Guarantee. The contract also provided for the
purchase of project-specific insurance. The project-specific insurance policy
was issued by Alpina Insurance Company ("Alpina").
Radian
and Solidere initially sought to resolve their disputes through arbitration
proceedings before the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”). Solidere
alleges that Radian’s activities and services resulted in the production of
chemical and biological pollutants, including methane gas, at the Normandy
Project. In July 2004, an ICC arbitration panel ruled against Radian. Among
other things, the ICC ordered Radian to: i) prepare a plan to remediate the
production of methane gas at the Normandy Site; and, ii) pay approximately $2.4
million in attorney fees and other expenses. The ICC also authorized Solidere to
withhold project payments.
Since the July 2004 ruling, numerous
other legal actions have been initiated. On January 20, 2006, Radian initiated a
new ICC arbitration proceeding against Solidere alleging, in part, that
Solidere's lack of cooperation prevented Radian from complying with the July
2004 ruling. In response to Radian’s January 20, 2006 filing, Solidere
terminated Radian's contract and, on February 13, 2006, initiated a separate ICC
arbitration proceeding against both Radian and URS Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (DE), the indirect parent of Radian, claiming that URS Corporation
(DE) is responsible for Radian’s liabilities because both entities operated as a
single economic enterprise. Solidere’s February 13, 2006 filing seeks to recover
the costs to remediate the Normandy Site, damages resulting from delays in
project completion, and past and future legal costs. On February 20, 2006,
Radian amended its January 20, 2006 filing to include Solidere's unwarranted
termination of Radian's contract.
On June
30, 2006, URS Corporation (DE) filed a separate complaint in the United States
District Court for the District of Delaware seeking to enjoin Solidere’s attempt
to include URS Corporation (DE) as a party in the arbitration before the ICC.
However, because Radian is maintained as a distinct legal entity separate from
URS Corporation (DE), URS Corporation (DE) is not responsible for any of
Radian’s liabilities. On September 28, 2007, the Delaware District
Court issued a Memorandum of Opinion, which, among other things, partially
granted Solidere’s motion to dismiss. We plan to appeal this
decision.
On June
28, 2006, Mouawad – Edde SARL, filed a request for arbitration (to which we
responded) with the ICC against Radian and URS Corporation seeking to recover
$22 million for its alleged additional costs. Mouawad – Edde SARL
alleges that it is entitled to a sizable increase in the value of its
subcontract for additional work it claims to have performed on the Normandy
Project. An evidentiary hearing on jurisdictional issues was held at the ICC in
July 2007.
In July
2004, Saradar filed a claim for reimbursement in the First Court in Beirut,
Lebanon, to recover the $8.5 million paid on the Letter of Guarantee from Radian
and co-defendant Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Saradar alleges that it is entitled to
reimbursement for the amount paid on the Letter of Guarantee. In February 2005,
Radian responded to Saradar’s claim by filing a Statement of Defense. In April
2005, Saradar also filed a reimbursement claim against Solidere. Radian contends
that it is not obligated to reimburse Saradar. The matter is currently under
submission by the First Court in Beirut. The current instability in Lebanon may
delay the Court’s ruling.
In
October 2004, Alpina notified Radian of a denial of insurance coverage. Radian
filed a breach of contract and bad faith claim against Alpina in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of California in October 2004
seeking declaratory relief and monetary damages. In July 2005, Alpina responded
to Radian’s claim by filing a motion to dismiss based on improper venue, which
the District Court granted. The District Court’s decision, however, did not
consider the underlying merits of Radian’s claim and Radian appealed the matter
to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in September 2005.
Radian continues discussions with Alpina and its other insurance carriers to
resolve the matter.
In
December 2006, Zurich Insurance Company (“Zurich”), as successor in interest to
Alpina, American International Specialty Lines Insurance Company (“AISLIC”),
Radian, and URS Corporation, finalized a settlement agreement in which Zurich
and AISLIC agreed to fund a substantial portion of the cost of defending some of
the claims filed by Solidere in the ICC arbitration.
As of
September 28, 2007, Solidere had withheld project payments owed to Radian
amounting to $11.5 million. We have recorded this amount as accounts receivable
and retainage. In addition, we recorded $4.2 million in consolidated costs and
accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process.
Radian
will vigorously continue to pursue its claims against Solidere and Alpina.
Radian and URS Corporation will also continue to defend vigorously the claims
asserted against them.
· Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway
Authority: In 1999, URS Corporation Southern, a wholly owned
subsidiary, entered into an agreement ("Agreement") with the Tampa-Hillsborough
County Expressway Authority (the “Authority”) to provide foundation design,
project oversight and other services in connection with the construction of the
Lee Roy Selmon Elevated Expressway structure (the “Expressway”) in Tampa,
Florida. Also, URS Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a
subcontract agreement with an unrelated third party to provide geotechnical
services in connection with the construction of roads to access the Expressway.
In 2004, during construction of the elevated structure, one pier subsided
substantially, causing significant damage to a segment of the elevated
structure, though no significant injuries occurred as a result of the incident.
The Authority has completed remediation of the Expressway.
In
October 2005, the Authority filed a lawsuit in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit
of Florida against URS Corporation Southern, URS Holdings, Inc. and an unrelated
third party, alleging breach of contract and professional negligence resulting
in damages to the Authority exceeding $120 million. Sufficient information is
not currently available to assess liabilities associated with the remediation.
In April 2006, the Authority's Builder's Risk insurance carrier, Westchester
Surplus Lines Insurance Company ("Westchester"), filed a subrogation action
against URS Corporation Southern in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida
for $2.9 million, which Westchester has paid to the Authority. Westchester also
filed a subrogation action for any future amounts that may be paid for claims
that the Authority has submitted for losses caused by the subsidence of the
pier. URS Corporation Southern removed Westchester's lawsuit to United States
District Court for the Middle District of Florida and filed multiple
counterclaims against Westchester for insurance coverage under the Westchester
policy.
One of
URS Corporation Southern’s and URS Holding Inc’s excess insurance carriers, Arch
Specialty Insurance Company (“Arch”), which was responsible for $15 million in
excess coverage, has informed URS Corporation Southern and URS Holdings, Inc,
that they believe the initial notice of claim provided by our insurance broker
was untimely under the Arch excess policies. URS Corporation Southern and URS
Holdings, Inc. rejected Arch’s position.
URS
Corporation Southern and URS Holdings, Inc. will continue to defend this matter
vigorously. This matter would not be likely to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
Minneapolis Bridge: The
collapse of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on August 1, 2007, has
been widely publicized. In 2003, the Minnesota Department of Transportation
retained us to provide engineering analyses of the I-35W bridge. We had issued
draft reports pursuant to this engagement and our services to the Minnesota
Department of Transportation were ongoing at the time of the collapse. We were
not involved in the original design or construction of the I-35W bridge, nor
were we involved in any of the maintenance and construction work being performed
on the bridge when the collapse occurred. Investigations are underway, but at
this time, there is insufficient information to determine the cause or causes of
the collapse. It is possible, however, that claims relating to the collapse will
be made against us because of our work for the Minnesota Department of
Transportation. The outcome of any such claims, if made, or their possible
impacts on the company cannot be determined at this time.
Washington
Group International, Inc.
Litigation and
Investigation related to USAID Egyptian Projects. In 2002, the
Inspector General for the US Agency for International Development (“USAID”)
requested documentation about and made inquiries into the contractual
relationships between one of our US joint ventures and a local construction
company in Egypt. The focus of the inquiry was whether the structure
of our business relationship with the Egyptian company violated USAID contract
regulations with respect to source, origin, and nationality
requirements. In January 2004, we entered into an agreement with
USAID whereby we agreed to undertake certain compliance and training measures
and USAID agreed that we were presently eligible for USAID contracts, including
host-country projects, and were not under threat of suspension or debarment
arising out of matters covered by the USAID inquiry. We
satisfactorily completed that training effective November 22, 2004, and, as a
result, are currently in good standing to bid on all USAID
projects.
In March
2003, we were notified by the Department of Justice that the US government was
considering civil litigation against us for potential violations of the USAID
source, origin, and nationality regulations in connection with five of our
USAID-financed host-country projects located in Egypt beginning in the early
1990s. Following that notification, we responded to inquiries from
the Department of Justice and otherwise cooperated with the government’s
investigation. In November 2004, the government filed an action in
the US District Court for the District of Idaho against us and the companies
referred to above with respect to the Egyptian projects (the “Idaho
Action”). The Idaho Action was brought under the Federal False Claims
Act, the Federal Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, and common law theories of
payment by mistake and unjust enrichment. The complaint seeks damages and civil
penalties for violations of the statutes and asserts that the government is
entitled to a refund of all amounts paid to us and the other defendants under
the specified contracts. The government alleges that approximately
$373.0 million was paid under those contracts. We deny any liability in the
action and contest the government’s damage allegations and its entitlement to
any recovery. All projects were completed and turned over for
operation.
Further,
on March 23, 2005, we filed a Motion to Enforce the Confirmation Order in the
Bankruptcy Court in Nevada, and a Motion to Dismiss or Stay the Action in the
Idaho Court pending resolution of the proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court. In
the filings in the Bankruptcy Court, we sought dismissal of the government’s
claims pursuant to the Confirmation Order (and other relevant orders of the
Bankruptcy Court) because of the government’s failure to give appropriate notice
or otherwise preserve those claims. On August 30, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court
granted our Motion to Enforce the Confirmation Order, in total, ruling that all
of the government’s claims (as set forth in the complaint in the Idaho Action)
are barred. On November 9, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed its decision
with a written order and detailed findings of fact. The government appealed the
Bankruptcy Court's order to the US District Court for the District of Nevada. On
March 22, 2006, the judge in the Idaho Action stayed that action during the
pendency of the government's appeal of the Bankruptcy Court's
ruling.
On
December 29, 2006, the District Court in Nevada disagreed with the specific
grounds on which the Bankruptcy Court had determined that the Government’s
statutory claims were barred, and on that basis reversed the Bankruptcy Court’s
order and remanded the matter back to the Bankruptcy Court for further
proceedings. In his order, the District Court judge specifically noted that on
remand, “[t]he Bankruptcy Court may choose among other things, to address
whether the Idaho claims are barred for any other reasons, or are otherwise
affected by WGI’s Bankruptcy proceedings.” We intend to renew our motion that
the Government’s claim in the Bankruptcy Court is nonetheless barred under
different theories than those initially addressed by the Bankruptcy Court. On
February 23, 2007, the US District Judge reaffirmed that the Idaho Action will
remain stayed until the Bankruptcy Court determines whether the government’s
claims in the Idaho Action are barred. On August 29, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court
(Judge Zive) conducted a scheduling/status conference. At that
conference, the court inquired about settlement possibilities and encouraged the
parties to engage in settlement discussions. In addition, the
court
directed the parties to meet and confer on how our motions that the
Government’s claims are barred should proceed in terms of written and other
discovery to be conducted, procedures for moving the motions toward disposition,
and a potential schedule for hearings. The court also set an
adversary scheduling conference for November 7, 2007, at which time the court
will determine the scope of discovery and the timing of hearings, to the extent
not agreed to by the parties.
Our joint
venture for one of the five projects referred to above brought arbitration
proceedings before an arbitration tribunal in Egypt in which it asserted an
affirmative claim for additional compensation for the construction of water and
wastewater treatment facilities in Egypt. The project owner, National
Organization for Potable Water and Sanitary Drainage (“NOPWASD”), an Egyptian
government agency, asserted in a counterclaim that by reason of alleged
violations of the USAID source, origin and nationality regulations, and alleged
violations of Egyptian law, our joint venture should forfeit its claim, pay
damages of approximately $6.0 million and the owner’s costs of defending
against the joint venture’s claims in arbitration. We denied liability on the
project owner’s counterclaim. On April 17, 2006, the arbitration tribunal issued
its award providing that the joint venture prevailed on its affirmative claims
in the net amount of $8.2 million, and that NOPWASD's counterclaims are
rejected. Our portion of any final award received by the joint venture would be
approximately 45 percent. Because of potential issues related to appeals or
collectibility of amounts awarded, no amounts related to this potential recovery
have been recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Based on
our assessment of the above-described matters, we recorded a charge of
$8.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. Potential recovery on the
arbitration award, or additional loss, if any, is not estimable.
New Orleans Levee
Failure Class Action Litigation. From July 1999 through May 2005, we
performed demolition, site preparation, and environmental remediation services
for the US Army Corps of Engineers on the east bank of the Inner Harbor
Navigation Canal (the “Industrial Canal”) in New Orleans, Louisiana. All the
work performed by us and our subcontractors was directed, supervised and
approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
On August
29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. The storm surge created by
the hurricane overtopped the Industrial Canal levee and floodwall, flooding the
Lower Ninth Ward and other parts of the city.
Between
September 19, 2005 and September 28, 2007, 49 personal injury and property
damage class action lawsuits have been filed in Louisiana State and Federal
court naming us, of which 47 are currently pending. Other defendants include the
US Army Corps of Engineers, the Board for the Orleans Parish Levee District, and
its insurer, St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company. Over 170
hurricane-related cases, including Washington Group International cases, have
been consolidated in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of
Louisiana. The plaintiffs claim that defendants were negligent in
their design, construction and/or maintenance of the New Orleans levees. The
alleged class of plaintiffs are all residents and property owners who incurred
damages arising out of the breach and failure of the hurricane protection levees
and floodwalls in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The allegation against us is
that the work we performed adjacent to the Industrial Canal damaged the levee
and floodwall and caused and/or contributed to breaches and flooding. The
plaintiffs allege damages of $200 billion and demand attorneys’ fees and costs.
In the event we are found to have any liability in this matter, we have
substantial general liability and professional liability insurance coverage.
While the adequacy of the coverage cannot be predicted with certainty, we
believe it is adequate to cover any potential liability which could be imposed
on us as a result of this litigation.
We deny
any liability and are vigorously defending these lawsuits. We did not design,
construct, repair or maintain any of the levees or floodwalls that failed during
or after Hurricane Katrina. There is no evidence that activities performed by us
damaged the Industrial Canal levee or floodwall. We will pursue
all
contractual and equitable rights of indemnity and contribution and leverage all
available challenges against class certification.
Based on
the status and nature of this matter at this time, we cannot make an estimate of
probable liability, if any. We performed the work adjacent to the Industrial
Canal as a contractor for the US government and are pursuing dismissal from the
lawsuits either as a result of a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim
or on a motion for summary judgment on the basis that government contractors are
immune from liability. Until our motions are decided, class certification
decisions are issued, and we know who our co-defendants will be, there is no
reasonable basis for accurately predicting the outcome of these actions.
Consistent with our accounting policy of accruing legal fees when probable and
estimable, through September 28, 2007, we have accrued $11.1 million for
estimated legal defense costs associated with these matters through the end of
2007. We believe a portion of these costs are reimbursable under our insurance
program and have recorded a corresponding insurance receivable.
