CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of May 26, 2011, among OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (“OSG” or the “Parent”), OSG BULK SHIPS, INC., a New York corporation (“OSG Bulk”), and OSG INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Xxxxxxxx Islands corporation (“OSG International” and together with OSG and OSG Bulk, collectively, the “Borrowers” and each a “Borrower”), the Lenders party hereto from time to time, and DnB NOR BANK ASA, New York Branch, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). All capitalized terms used herein and defined in Section 11 are used herein as therein defined.
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Lenders are willing to make available to the Borrowers on a joint and several basis a credit facility in a maximum aggregate amount of $900,000,000 as provided for herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
SECTION 1. Amount and Terms of Credit Facility.
1.01 The Commitments
(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make at any time on or after the Availability Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrowers on a joint and several basis, which Revolving Loans (i) shall bear interest in accordance with Section 1.07, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars or in an Alternate Currency in each case, as elected by the Borrowers, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not exceed for any such Lender at any time that aggregate principal amount outstanding (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of each Alternate Currency Revolving Loan then outstanding) which, when added to the product of (x) such Lender’s Percentage and (y) the sum of (I) all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time, and (II) the aggregate Swingline Loan Exposure (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then outstanding equals the Commitment of such Lender at such time and (v) shall not exceed for all such Lenders at any time that aggregate principal amount outstanding (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of each Alternate Currency Revolving Loan then outstanding) which, when added to the sum of (I) the amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Loans) at such time, and (II) the aggregate Swingline Loan Exposure (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then outstanding equals the Total Commitment at such time; provided that no Alternate Currency Revolving Loan may be incurred if after giving effect thereto the Alternate Currency Outstandings would exceed the Alternate Currency Sublimit.
(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Availability Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrowers on a joint and several basis, which Swingline Loans (i) shall bear interest in accordance with Section 1.07, (ii) shall be denominated in Euros or Dollars in each case, as elected by the Borrowers, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) as provided in Section 4.02(c) shall be repaid no later than the date which is five Business Days following the incurrence thereof, (v) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of each Alternate Currency Revolving Loan then outstanding) and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, an amount equal to the Total Commitment at such time, and (vi) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount; provided that no Swingline Loan denominated in Euros may be incurred if giving effect thereto the Alternate Currency Outstandings would exceed the Alternate Currency Sublimit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.01(b), (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists with respect to any Lender unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrowers to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lenders’ Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans, and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from any Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.
(c) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 or Section 10.09 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 10), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such outstanding Swingline Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the second succeeding Business Day by all Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Loans upon two Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the Total Commitment at such time. For the avoidance of doubt, any Swingline Loan which has been funded with one or more Mandatory Borrowings shall cease to be a Swingline Loan. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrowers on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10), provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.
(d) In the event that the Borrowers fail to reimburse any Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 2.04 for any Drawing paid by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it, then on the date specified in Section 2.04(a), the Borrowers shall be deemed to have made a request for a borrowing of Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the Drawing with an initial Interest Period of one month which such deemed request shall not be subject to any condition precedent set forth in Section 6 and shall be irrevocable. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make its pro rata share of any such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any event, happening or circumstance whatsoever, including the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 6 to be satisfied at the time of such deemed request.
1.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Limitation on Number of Borrowings.
(a) The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Tranche of Loans.
(b) More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than twelve Borrowings of Loans subject to different Interest Periods.
1.03 Notice of Borrowing
(a) Whenever the Borrowers desire to make a Borrowing of Revolving Loans hereunder, OSG as agent for the Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office at least four Business Days’ prior written notice of each Revolving Loan to be made hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 11:00 A.M. (New York time). Each such written notice (each a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.09, shall be irrevocable and shall be given substantially in the form of Exhibit A with such modifications as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed to specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing (stated in Dollars, or in the case of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, in the relevant Alternate Currency), (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto and (iv) to which account the proceeds of such Revolving Loans are to be deposited. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Revolving Loans, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.
(b) (i) Whenever the Borrowers desire to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, OSG as agent for the Borrowers shall give the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing.
(ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 1.01(c), with the Borrowers irrevocably agreeing, by their incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 1.01(c).
(c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to deliver a written Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 1.03(a), the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing, believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from the Chairman of the Board, Chief Administrative Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Senior Vice President of OSG (or any other officer of the OSG designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Senior Vice President of the OSG as being authorized to give such notices under this Agreement) prior to receipt of Notice of Borrowing. In each such case, the Borrowers hereby waive the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing of Loans, absent manifest error.
1.04 Disbursement of Funds.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 1.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the date specified in Section 1.01(c)) each Lender with a Commitment will make available its pro rata portion of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts shall be made available in Dollars (or, (x) in the case of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, in the relevant Alternate Currency and (y) in the case of Swingline Loans denominated in Euros, in Euros) and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrowers (prior to 2:30 P.M. (New York Time) on such day to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York Time) on such day) at the Payment Office in Dollars (or, (x) in the case of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, in the relevant Alternate Currency and (y) in the case of Swingline Loans denominated in Euros, in Euros) in the account specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrowers, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate and (ii) if recovered from the Borrowers, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 1.07. Nothing in this Section 1.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.
1.05 Notes.
(a) The Borrowers’ obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall, if requested by such Lender, be evidenced (i) in the case of Revolving Loans by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”) and (ii) in the case of Swingline Loans, by promissory notes duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 (the “Swingline Note”).
(b) Each Revolving Note shall (i) be executed by the Borrowers, (ii) be payable to the order of such Lender that has requested a Revolving Note and be dated the Availability Date (or, in the case of Revolving Notes issued after the Availability Date, be dated the date of the issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount (expressed in Dollars) equal to the Commitment of such Lender and be payable in the principal amount of the Revolving Loans evidenced thereby; provided that if, because of fluctuations in exchange rates after the Availability Date, the Revolving Note of any Lender would not be at least as great as the outstanding aggregate principal amount (taking the Dollar Equivalent of all Alternate Currency Revolving Loans evidenced thereby) of the Revolving Loans made by such Lender to the Borrowers at any time outstanding, the respective Lender may, at any time after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, request (and in such case the Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver) a new Revolving Note in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount (taking the Dollar Equivalent of all Alternate Currency Revolving Loans evidenced thereby) of such Revolving Loans of such Lender outstanding on the date of the issuance of such new Revolving Note, (iv) mature on the Final Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause in Section 1.07, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment and mandatory repayment as provided in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, (vii) with respect to each Revolving Loan evidenced thereby, be payable in the respective Permitted Currency in which such Revolving Loan was made and (viii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
(c) The Swingline Note issued by the Borrowers to the Swingline Lender shall (i) be payable to the Swingline Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Availability Date, (ii) be in a stated principal amount (expressed in Dollars) equal to the Maximum Swingline Amount and be payable in the outstanding principal amount of Swingline Loans evidenced thereby, (iii) mature on the Swingline Expiry Date, (iv) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.07, (v) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 4.01, and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 4.02, and (vi) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
(d) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will, prior to any transfer of any of its Notes, endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in any such notation or endorsement shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 1.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall be delivered only to Lenders that at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrowers shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrowers to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrowers that would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. Any Lender that does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (d). At any time (including, without limitation, to replace any Note that has been destroyed or lost) when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans; provided that, in the case of a substitute or replacement Note, the Borrowers shall have received from such requesting Lender (i) an affidavit of loss or destruction and (ii) a customary lost/destroyed note indemnity, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers and such requesting Lender, and duly executed by such requesting Lender.
1.06 Pro Rata Borrowings.
All Borrowings of Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments; provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Percentages. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.
1.07 Interest.
(a) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to the Borrowers until the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Revolving Loan at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the applicable LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus, to the extent applicable, the Associated Costs Rate.
(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to the Borrowers until the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Swingline Loan at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Overnight Offered Rate as in effect from time to time.
(c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) equal to 2.00% per annum in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans (or, if such overdue amount is not interest or principal in respect of a Loan, 2.00% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin plus the Overnight Offered Rate as in effect from time to time), in each case with such interest to be payable on demand.
(d) Accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable in respect of each Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, on any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.
(e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBOR Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the Loans to be made pursuant to the applicable Borrowing and shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the respective Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
1.08 Interest Periods.
At the time the Borrowers give any Notice of Borrowing in respect of the making of any Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the fourth Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), it shall have the right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrowers, be a one, three or six or, if agreed to by all Lenders, 12 month period; provided that:
(i) all Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;
(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Loan and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Loan shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;
(iii) if any Interest Period relating to a Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;
(iv) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the first succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Loan would otherwise expire on a day which 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 immediately preceding Business Day;
(v) all interest shall be calculated from and including the first day of an Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period;
(vi) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period longer than one month may be selected at any time when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Final Maturity Date; and
(viii) the selection of Interest Periods shall be subject to the provisions of Section 1.02(b).
If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing, the Borrowers have failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans as provided above, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected a one month Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.
1.09 Increased Costs, Illegality, Market Disruption Event; etc.
(a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):
(i) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Loan or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income, gross receipts or net profits of such Lender, or any franchise tax based on net income, net profits or net worth, of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which such Lender’s principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), but without duplication of any amounts payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to Section 4.04, or (B) a change in official reserve requirements and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting the interbank market; or
(ii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order and/or (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law); or
(iii) at any time, that any Alternate Currency is not available in sufficient amounts, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent;
then, and in any such event, such Lender shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree, subject to the provisions of Section 1.11, to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased costs or reductions to such Lender or such other corporation and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.09(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 1.09(a) shall, absent manifest error, but subject to the provisions of Section 13.15 (to the extent applicable), be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.
(b) At any time that any Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.09(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), the Borrowers may (and in the case of a Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.09(a)(ii) and (iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Loan is then being made initially, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date or the next Business Day that any Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 1.09(a)(i) or (ii) or (y) if the affected Loan, (other than any Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.09(iii)), is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Loan, repay all outstanding Borrowings (within the time period required by the applicable law or governmental rule, governmental regulation or governmental order) which include such affected Loans in full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 3.02; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.09(b).
(c) In the case of Loans affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.09(a)(iii), Alternate Currency Loans denominated in the affected Permitted Currency (other than any such Alternate Currency Revolving Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist.
(d) If any Lender in good faith determines that the introduction of or effectiveness of or any change after the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change after the Effective Date in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, in any such case, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or requested to be maintained by such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender, based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrowers jointly and severally agree, subject to the provisions of Section 13.15 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital, to the extent not already compensated by the LIBOR Rate, Additional Cost Rate or any other provision hereof. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.09(d), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of such additional amounts.
(e) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that such Lender is required to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves required by applicable law) which have been established after the Effective Date by any Federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or regulatory body with jurisdiction over such Lender (including any branch, Affiliate or funding office thereof) in respect of any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan or any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lender to non-United States residents in each case by reason of any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, then, unless such reserves already are included in the calculation of the interest rate applicable to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loans or in Section 1.09(a)(i) or are otherwise compensated by any other provision hereof, such Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Borrowers in writing specifying the additional amounts required to indemnify such Lender against the cost of maintaining such reserves (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional amounts) and such Borrowers agree, subject to the provisions of Section 13.15 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender such specified amounts on written demand therefor by such Lender.
(f) If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of such Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:
(i) the Applicable Margin;
(ii) the rate determined by each Lender and notified to the Administrative Agent, which expresses the actual cost to each such Lender of funding its participation in that Loan for a period equivalent to such Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select; and
(iii) the Additional Cost Rate and Associated Costs Rate, if any, applicable to the affected Loan.
(g) If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers so require, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrowers, be binding on all parties. If no agreement is reached pursuant to this clause (g), the rate provided for in clause (f) above shall apply for the entire Interest Period.
(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change after the Effective Date in a requirement of law or governmental rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented for all purposes under or in connection with this Agreement (including this Section 1.09 and Section 2.05).
1.10 Compensation.
The Borrowers jointly and severally agree, subject to the provisions of Section 13.15 (to the extent applicable), to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting and the calculation of such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any such loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain in respect of Loans made to the Borrowers: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrowers or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.09(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 1.09(a), Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10) of any of its Loans, or assignment of its Loans pursuant to Section 1.12, occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrowers; or (iv) as a consequence of any other Default or Event of Default arising as a result of the Borrowers’ failure to repay Loans or make payment on any Note held by such Lender when required by the terms of this Agreement.
1.11 Change of Lending Office.
Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.09(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.09(b), Section 1.09(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use reasonable good faith efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unindemnified economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 1.11 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender provided in Section 1.09 and Section 4.04.
1.12 Replacement of Lenders.
(x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Loans, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.09(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.09(b), Section 1.09(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrowers increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders, or (z) as provided in Section 13.12(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferee or Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that:
(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.12, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of and in each case all participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum (without duplication) of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to Unpaid Drawings that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender) together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but unpaid, Commitment Commission owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (y) each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofor funded by such Replaced Lender; and
(ii) all obligations of the Borrowers due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid), shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.
Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to (i) the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrowers, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.09, 1.10, 2.05, 4.04, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (ii) if so requested by the Borrowers, the Replaced Lender shall deliver all Notes in its possession to the Borrowers.
1.13 Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) if any Swingline Loan Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i) all or any part of such Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Lenders’ that are Non-Defaulting Lenders Individual Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the aggregate amount of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments, (y) immediately following the reallocation to a Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, the Individual Exposure of such Lender does not exceed its Commitment at such time and (z) the conditions set forth in Sections 6.01 and 6.03 are satisfied at such time;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Loan Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in aggregate amount equal to 103% of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding (the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”);
(iii) the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure;
(iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 1.13(a), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.01(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Percentages; and
(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 1.13(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to each Issuing Lender until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and
(b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.01(a) or Section 2, so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral has been provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 1.13(a), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 1.13(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Percentage.
1.14 Incremental Credit Extensions.
(a) The Borrowers may at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date and until the Availability Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request one or more increases in the amount of the Commitments (the “Commitment Increases”); provided that:
(i) upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below after giving effect to the incurrence of such Commitment Increase, no Default or Event of Default shall exist;
(ii) upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, all of the representations and warranties of each Borrower set forth in Section 7 and in each other Credit Document shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such time (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);
(iii) the aggregate amount of Commitment Increases pursuant to this Section 1.14 shall not exceed $350,000,000;
(iv) the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrowers certifying compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii); and
(v) each Credit Party shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such other officers’ certificates, board of director (or equivalent governing body) resolutions and evidence of good standing (to the extent available under applicable law) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
(b) Each Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $15,000,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrative Agent).
(c) Each notice from the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 1.14 shall set forth the requested amount of the Commitment Increase. Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make a portion of any Commitment Increase) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s providing such Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 13.04 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Commitment Increases shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrowers, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent.
(d) This Section 1.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 13.06 or 13.12 to the contrary.
SECTION 2. Letters of Credit.
2.01 Letters of Credit.
(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, OSG as agent for the Borrowers may request that any Issuing Lender issue, at any time on and after the Availability Date and prior to the 60th day prior to the Final Maturity Date, for the joint and several account of the Borrowers, irrevocable sight standby letters of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in a Permitted Currency, as elected by the Borrowers and shall be issued on a sight draft basis.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, each Issuing Lender hereby agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on or after the Availability Date and prior to the 60th day prior to the Final Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for the joint and several account of the Borrowers one or more Letters of Credit in support of such obligations as are permitted to remain outstanding without giving rise to a Default or Event of Default hereunder, provided that the respective Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:
(i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it, or the issuance of such letter of credit would violate a policy of general application of such Issuing Lender; or
(ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit of the type described in the second sentence of Section 2.02(b).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of all amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars) (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed the lowest of (x) $250,000,000, (y) when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent for all Alternate Currency Revolving Loans) and Swingline Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent for Swingline Loans denominated in Euros) then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Commitment at such time and (z) if such Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternate Currency, when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Alternate Currency Outstandings, the Alternate Currency Sublimit, (ii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such Letter of Credit shall be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the 20th Business Day prior to the Final Maturity Date, on terms reasonably acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender) and (B) 20 Business Days prior to the Final Maturity Date and (iii) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in a Permitted Currency, as elected by the Borrowers.
(d) At the election of the Borrowers, letters of credit which were issued pursuant to certain existing letters of credit agreements under the Existing Credit Agreement and which are outstanding on the Availability Date shall be deemed to constitute “Letters of Credit” under this Agreement, issued, for purposes of Section 2.04(a) on the Availability Date; provided that the limitations set forth in Section 2.01(c) above are satisfied. Each such Letter of Credit, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, shall be referred to as an “Existing Letter of Credit”. Any Lender hereunder which has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute an “Issuing Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.
2.02 Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount.
(a) Whenever the Borrowers desire that a Letter of Credit be issued, OSG as agent for the Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least four Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender) written notice prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day). Each notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C (each a “Letter of Credit Request”).
(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by each Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 2.01(c). Unless the respective Issuing Lender determines that, or has received notice from any Lender before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 2.01(c), then such Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit for the joint and several account of the Borrowers in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices.
(c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 (or the equivalent amount thereof in the applicable Permitted Currency) or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.
2.03 Letter of Credit Participations.
(a) Immediately upon the issuance by any Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender with a Commitment, other than such Issuing Lender (each such Lender, in its capacity under this Section 2.03, a “Participant”), and each such Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Sections 1.12 or 13.04, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.03 to reflect the new Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender or of all Lenders with Commitments, as the case may be.
(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall have no obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Subject to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Credit Party or any Lender.
(c) In the event that any Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrowers shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant, of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s Percentage (as relates to the respective Letter of Credit) of such unreimbursed payment in the relevant Permitted Currency as the applicable Letter of Credit was issued and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the account of such Issuing Lender in the relevant Permitted Currency as the applicable Letter of Credit was issued such Participant’s Percentage (as relates to the respective Letter of Credit) of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender its Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender its Percentage of any such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s Percentage of any such payment.
(d) Whenever any Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received (for the account of any such Issuing Lender) any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall forward such payment to the Administrative Agent, which in turn shall distribute to each Participant which has paid its Percentage thereof in the relevant Permitted Currency, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.
(e) Each Issuing Lender shall, promptly after the issuance of, or amendment to, a Letter of Credit give the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers written notice of such issuance or amendment, as the case may be, and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the issued Letter of Credit or amendment, as the case may be. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Participant, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and in the event a Participant shall so request, the Administrative Agent shall furnish such Participant with a copy of such issuance or amendment.
(f) Each Issuing Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly on the first Business Day of each week, by facsimile transmission, the aggregate daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the previous week. Upon request, the Administrative Agent shall, within 10 days after the last Business Day of each calendar month, deliver to each Participant a report setting forth for such preceding calendar month the aggregate daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under all outstanding Letters of Credit during such calendar month.
(g) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;
(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);
(iii) any draft, certificate or any 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) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or
(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.
2.04 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.
(a) The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in the relevant Permitted Currency in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than the Business Day following receipt by the Borrowers of notice of such payment or disbursement from the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrowers therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Offered Rate for the relevant Permitted Currency, as in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day following such payment or disbursement, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Dollar Revolving Loans or Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, as the case may be, as provided in Section 1.01(d). Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrowers prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. In the event that any Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it, the Borrower’s obligation under this Section 2.04 to reimburse the respective Issuing Lender shall be in the same currency as the applicable Letter of Credit was issued determined on the date of payment by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit.
(b) The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.04 to reimburse the respective Issuing Lender with respect to drawings on Letters of Credit (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as Issuing Lender or Participant or as Participant), or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing, the respective Issuing Lender’s only obligation to the Borrowers being to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Subject to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Borrower or any other Credit Party.
2.05 Increased Costs.
If at any time, any Issuing Lender or any Participant determines that the introduction of or any change after the Effective Date in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive made by any such authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the Effective Date, shall either (a) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (b) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit, then, upon demand to the Borrowers by such Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which demand shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.05, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrowers by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.05. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and non-discriminatory, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.05 shall, absent manifest error, but subject to the provisions of Section 13.15 (to the extent applicable), be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall, if delivered in good faith and absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.
SECTION 3. Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender (based on each such Lender’s respective Percentage), a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect from time to time on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent for all Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars). Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Final Maturity Date (or such earlier date upon which the Total Commitment is terminated).
(c) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay directly to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/8 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent for all Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars), provided that in any event the minimum amount of Facing Fees payable in any twelve-month period for each issued Letter of Credit shall be not less than $500; it being agreed that, on the day of issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, if $500 will exceed the amount of Facing Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date following issuance of a Letter of Credit and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.
(d) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay, upon each payment (including any partial payment) under, issuance of, extension of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge which the respective Issuing Lender is generally charging in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit, provided that such administrative charges shall not exceed $1,000 in the aggregate for any single letter of credit.
(e) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the other Agents, for their own account, such other fees as have been agreed to in writing by OSG or the Borrowers and such Agent.

4.02 Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions.

If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent for all Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars) exceeds the Total Commitment as then in effect, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on such date an amount of cash or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent.
(ii) On any day on which the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of all Alternate Currency Outstandings exceeds 103% of the Alternate Currency Sublimit, the Borrowers shall (x) prepay on such day the Alternate Currency Outstandings and (y) cash collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount (taking the Dollar Equivalent of the amounts paid in the respective Alternate Currency in which payments on such Alternate Currency Outstandings are owing) equal to such excess.

4.04 Net Payments; Taxes.
(a) All payments made by any Credit Party hereunder or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, (i) any tax imposed on or measured by the net income, net profits or any franchise or similar tax based on net income, net profits or net worth, of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein and (ii) any United States federal withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for a failure by such recipient (or any financial institution through which any payment is made to such recipient) to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for taxes the Lender determines are incrementally imposed on or measured by the net income, net profits or any franchise tax based on net income, net profits or net worth, of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located on or measured by the additional payments made pursuant to the preceding sentence and for any withholding of taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender, in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. The Borrowers will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date of payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts, or, if such tax receipts are not available, other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, evidencing such payment by the Borrowers. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.
(b) (i) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the U.S. Borrowers and the Agent on or prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (A) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (B) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (a) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E (any such certificate, a “Section 4.04 Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. Furthermore, each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall, in the case of any payment made after December 31, 2012 in respect of any Loan, Letters of Credit, Note or Obligation that was not treated as outstanding for purposes of FATCA on March 18, 2012, provide any forms, documentation, or other information as shall be prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service to demonstrate that the relevant Lender has complied with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA so that such payments made to such Lender hereunder would not be subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed by FATCA. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the U.S. Borrowers or the Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 4.04 Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the U.S. Borrowers and the Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) each U.S. Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to such U.S. Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms (and such other forms, documentation or other information that would be necessary) that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) each U.S. Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to or indemnify a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided such U.S. Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms (and such other forms, documentation or other information) required to be provided such U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (B) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04, each U.S. Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar taxes.
(ii) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file any certificate or document or to furnish to a Borrower any information as reasonably requested by such Borrower that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, any Taxes; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.04(b) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations).
(c) If the Borrowers pay any additional amount under this Section 4.04 to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to the Borrowers an amount that such Lender shall, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by such Lender in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit, (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Lender that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrowers are obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.04 without any exclusions or defenses, (iii) nothing in this Section 4.04(c) shall require any Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrowers (including, without limitation, its tax returns), and (iv) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) at any time during which a Default or Event of Default exists.

13.03 Notices.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telexed, telegraphic or telecopier communication) and mailed, telexed, telecopied or delivered: if to any Borrower, at such Borrower’s address specified under its signature below; if to any Lender, at its address specified opposite its name on Schedule II below; and if to the Administrative Agent, at its Notice Office; or, as to any other Credit Party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

13.04 Benefit of Agreement.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that (i) no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Lenders, (ii) although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Section 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and (iii) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Commitment Commission thereon (except (m) in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (n) that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (x)) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), or (y) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrowers of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitment and related rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit (including its outstanding Obligations hereunder), to its (i) parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (iii) to one or more Lenders; provided that no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender or (y) assign with the consent of OSG as agent for the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists) all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $7,500,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments, hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in bank loans and any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender shall be required in connection with any assignment pursuant to preceding clauses (x) and (y) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,000. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrowers the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 4.04 Certificate described in Section 4.04(b)). To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments (it being understood that the indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.09, 1.10, 2.05, 4.04, 13.01 and 13.06) shall survive as to such assigning Lender). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 1.12 or this Section 13.04(b) or a change of lending office of a Lender would, at the time of such assignment or change of lending office, result in increased costs under Section 1.09, 1.10 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such assignment or change of lending office, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment or change of lending office).
(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to a trustee for the benefit of investors and in support of its obligation to such investors.
13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
13.06 Payments Pro Rata.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrowers in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.
(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Commitment Commission, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.
13.07 Calculations; Computations.
(a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrowers to the Lenders). In addition, all computations determining compliance with the Financial Covenants and Section 9.04(b), shall utilize accounting principles and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the historical financial statements delivered to the Lenders for the fiscal year of OSG ended December 31, 2010. Unless otherwise noted, all references in this Agreement to “generally accepted accounting principles” shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States.
(b) All computations of interest and Commitment Commission hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of payments in British Pound Sterling, 365 days) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Commitment Commission are payable.

(b) Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates any information related to such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of such Borrower or its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender.
13.17 Register
.Each Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as such Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.17, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment and prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect such Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.17, except to the extent caused by the Administrative Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
13.18 Judgment Currency.
If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder or under any of the Notes in the currency expressed to be payable herein or under the Notes (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s New York office on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency; if the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrowers.

13.20 Waiver of Immunity.
Each Borrower, in respect of itself, each other Credit Party, its and their process agents, and its and their properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that any Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of its or their properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States, the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Obligations of any Borrower or any other Credit Party related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, each Borrower, for itself and on behalf of the other Credit Parties, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States, the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands.
13.21 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.
Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.: 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act, and each Credit Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.

Investments in Affiliates – FSO Africa and FSO Asia
|
Schedule VI
ASSOCIATED COSTS RATE
1.
|
The Associated Costs Rate is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the UK Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.
|
2.
|
On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Associated Costs Rate will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.
|
3.
|
The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a lending office in a participating member state (as defined in the relevant EMU Legislation) will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that lending office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that lending office.
|
4.
|
The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a lending office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:
|
|
(a)
|
in relation to a Loan denominated in Pounds Sterling:
|
AB + C(B-D) + E x 0.01 per cent. per annum
100-(A+C)
|
(b)
|
in relation to a Loan in any Currency other than Pounds Sterling:
|
|
E x 0.01
|
per cent. per annum
|
300
Where:
A
|
is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.
|
B
|
is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin, the Associated Costs Rate and, if any portion of the Loan is overdue, the additional rate of interest specified in Section 1.08(c)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.
|
C
|
is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.
|
D
|
is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.
|
E
|
is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.
|
5.
|
For the purposes of this Schedule VI:
|
|
(a)
|
“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;
|
|
(b)
|
“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
|
|
(c)
|
“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and
|
|
(d)
|
“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.
|
6.
|
In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e., 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.
|
7.
|
If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the UK Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Lender to the UK Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the UK Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Lender.
|
8.
|
Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:
|
|
(a)
|
the jurisdiction of its lending office for Loans made by such Lender; and
|
|
(b)
|
any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.
|
Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
9.
|
The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a lending office in the same jurisdiction as its lending office.
|
10.
|
The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.
|
11.
|
The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Associated Costs Rate to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.
|
12.
|
Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule VI in relation to a formula, the Associated Costs Rate, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.
|
13.
|
The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule VI in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the UK Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.
