RECITALS:
The Borrowers have requested that the Lenders extend loans and other financial accommodations to the Borrowers as more particularly described in this Credit Agreement.
The Lenders have agreed to extend such loans and financial accommodations to the Borrowers in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and other valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
CERTAIN DEFINITIONS; RULES OF CONSTRUCTION
Section 1.01. Certain Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings, respectively, unless the context hereof clearly requires otherwise:
“Account” means any “account” within the meaning of that term under the Uniform Commercial Code.
“Account Debtor” means any “account debtor” within the meaning of that term under the Uniform Commercial Code, including any Person who is obligated to pay an Account.
“Acquisition Target” means any Person (or substantially all of the assets and business operations of any Person) which is to be acquired in a Permitted Acquisition by one or more Borrowers or by a Subsidiary of a Borrower.
“Adjusted Base Rate” means that rate of interest equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
“Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing” means each amount of the unpaid principal balance of a Loan which accrues interest at the Adjusted Base Rate.
“Adjusted Daily LIBOR Borrowing” means each unpaid principal balance of a Loan which accrues interest at the Adjusted Daily LIBOR Rate.
“Adjusted Daily LIBOR Rate” means with respect to the unpaid principal balances of the Floor Plan Loans, that rate per annum that is equal to the sum of: (a) the Daily LIBOR Rate; plus (b) the Applicable Margin.
1 |
“Adjusted LIBOR Rate” means for any LIBOR Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum that is equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
“Adjusted LIBOR Rate Borrowing” means each unpaid principal balance of a Loan which accrues interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.
“Administrative Agent” means M&T Bank, in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement, and its successors and assigns in such capacity as authorized by the terms of this Agreement.
“Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified.
“Agent Parties” has the meaning provided to such term in Section 10.10.4 of this Agreement.
“Agreement” means this Credit Agreement, as it may be amended or modified from time to time, together with all schedules and exhibits hereto.
“Amended Charter” means (i) the Certificate of Incorporation of Andina II Holdco Corp. dated October 24, 2017 as filed with the office of the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware on October 24, 2017, as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation attached as Exhibit A to the Certificate of Merger of Andina Acquisition Corp. II and Andina II Holdco Corp. dated March 15, 2017, and filed with the office of the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware on March 15, 2017, and including the Certificate of Designations, and (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation of Parent Guarantor dated December 22, 2009, as filed with the office of the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware on December 22, 2009, as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation attached as Exhibit A to the Certificate of Merger of Lazy Days’ R.V. Center, Inc. and Andina II Merger Sub, Inc. dated March 15, 2018 and as filed with the office of the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware on March 15, 2018.
“Anti-Terrorism Laws” means any Laws relating to terrorism, trade sanctions programs and embargoes, import/export licensing, money laundering or bribery, and any regulation, order, or directive promulgated, issued or enforced pursuant to such Laws, all as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time.
“Applicable Curtailment Date” means, with respect to any Floor Plan Vehicle or Unit and a Floor Plan Loan relating to such Floor Plan Vehicle or Unit, the date that a curtailment payment is due based on the following methodology: The phrase “Applicable Curtailment Date” is typically followed by a numeral, which represents the number of days after the Applicable Starting Date for the Floor Plan Vehicle or Unit. For example, “Applicable Curtailment Date 365” refers initially to a date (a “Target Date”) that is 365 days after the date of the Applicable Starting Date for the Floor Plan Vehicle or Unit. However, the Target Date is not necessarily the actual payment date. The actual curtailment payment date is the Payment Due Date of the month following the calendar month that contains the Target Date. Again, as an example, if the Applicable Starting Date for a Floor Plan Vehicle or Unit was January 20, 2018, then “Applicable Curtailment Date 365” for that unit would be the Payment Due Date in February 2019.

“Applicable Margin” means the following percentages corresponding to the Total Leverage Ratio in effect as of the most recent Calculation Date:

Unless M&T Bank elects to fund a submitted Loan Request as an M&T Advance in accordance with Section 2.02 of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of each notice and the contents thereof. Each Lender shall make the amount of its pro rata share (calculated in accordance with its respective Floor Plan Loan Commitment Percentage) of each requested borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Borrowers at the offices of the Administrative Agent specified in this Agreement prior to 2:00 pm (Eastern Time) on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower Representative in U.S. Dollars and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.

If such Loan Request is pursuant to an invoice for an Eligible New Floor Plan Unit, Eligible Rental Floor Plan Unit, or Permitted Company Vehicle, such invoice shall be funded at such time as sufficient availability exists under the Floor Plan Loan Commitments.

2.01.17 Floor Plan Equity Offset Arrangement. (a) In connection with the Floor Plan Line of Credit and at the Borrowers’ request, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers hereby enter into the equity offset account arrangement set forth in this Section (the “Floor Plan Equity Offset Arrangement”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, as a basis for potential reductions in interest payable on account of the Floor Plan Loans. Under the Floor Plan Equity Offset Arrangement, the Borrowers may, at their election, deliver cash, checks or other good funds instruments to the Administrative Agent (“Equity Transaction”) to be held as Collateral and security for the Obligations for the pro-rata benefit of the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent agrees to account to the Borrowers for the total of such deliveries (such deliveries, the “Equity Balance”). The Equity Balance shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate balances outstanding under the Floor Plan Loans.
(b) Absent any Default, Event of Default, or Material Adverse Change, the Borrowers may complete an Equity Transaction on any Business Day. Equity Transactions received by the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at or prior to 3:00 p.m. shall be added to the Equity Balance on the same Business Day. Equity Transactions received by the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds after 3:00 p.m. will be added to the Equity Balance on the following Business Day. In the event that the Administrative Agent is notified of an insufficient funds transaction, the Administrative Agent shall reverse the respective Equity Transaction.
(c) Each monthly billing period for which an interest payment is due under the Floor Plan Line of Credit on account of the Floor Plan Loans, the Administrative Agent shall afford the Borrowers the benefit of a setoff against such interest due to the Lenders on account of the Floor Plan Loans (calculated on a pro-rata basis). Interest upon the Equity Balance shall be accrued on a daily basis based upon end of day cash balances and a rate equal to (x) the interest rate then applicable to the Floor Plan Loans, minus (y) seventy-five (75) Basis Points (“Equity Offset”). At the end of each month (or, at the election of the Administrative Agent, on the Floor Plan Loan Adjustment Date occurring in the fourth calendar week of any calendar month), the Equity Offset interest accrued shall be applied to accrued and unpaid interest on account of the Floor Plan Loans as billed by the Administrative Agent, reducing, pro-rata, the interest receivable of each Lender. Interest accrued in the Equity Offset shall not exceed the aggregate Loan interest receivable of the Lenders at any given time, and Equity Offset excess balances shall automatically transfer to a secondary non-interest bearing Equity Offset.
(d) The Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall have the use of any Equity Balance in its possession and may commingle any Equity Balance with other funds of the Administrative Agent.
45 |
(e) Each of the Borrowers hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a continuing security interest in the Equity Balance and all accrued interest thereon and proceeds thereof, and acknowledges and agrees that the Equity Balance shall constitute Collateral under this Agreement and the Security Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have such rights to the Equity Balance as may be afforded by the Security Agreement and by applicable Law. The security interest in the Equity Balance and accrued interest and proceeds hereby granted by each of the Borrowers is in addition to any other rights of the M&T, as Administrative Agent and otherwise, against any or all of the Borrowers, and shall be and remain under the exclusive possession, use, and control, and subject to rights of setoff, of M&T in its various capacities hereunder and under the Security Documents.
(f) This Floor Plan Equity Offset Arrangement may be terminated (i) by the Administrative Agent, (A) upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Borrower Representative, and (B) in its sole discretion, without prior notice upon the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or Material Adverse Change, or a determination by the Administrative Agent that this Floor Plan Equity Offset Arrangement would have an adverse effect on the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and (ii) by the Borrowers upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent. Upon any termination of the Floor Plan Equity Offset Arrangement in the absence of any Default, Event of Default, or Material Adverse Change, the amounts on deposit therein shall be applied to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on account of the Floor Plan Loans, or, at the option of the Borrower Representative remitted to the Borrowers by deposit to the Commercial Account, and upon any termination of the Floor Plan Equity Offset Arrangement upon the occurrence and/or during the continuance of any Default, Event of Default, or Material Adverse Change, the amounts on deposit therein shall be applied to any balances of principal and/or interest due on account of the Floor Plan Loans or to any other Obligations, as the Administrative Agent shall determine, and in accordance with Section 8.05 of this Agreement. This Floor Plan Equity Offset Arrangement, the Equity Balances and Equity Offset, and funds therein shall not, in any event, affect curtailments or other principal payments due on account of the Floor Plan Loans or reduce the outstanding amount of the Floor Plan Loans for purposes of determining availability under the Floor Plan Line of Credit.
(g) In order to induce the Administrative Agent to enter into the Floor Plan Equity Offset Arrangement on the terms set forth above, each of the Borrowers hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that each of them is directly obligated for repayment of all amounts due under the Floor Plan Credit Facility and all of the other Obligations, and has a substantial interest in the satisfactory performance of the Floor Plan Credit Facility, the other Loans, and the Credit Documents.
Section 2.02. M&T Advances.
2.02.1. Advances. Between Floor Plan Loan Adjustment Dates, M&T Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) fund to the Borrowers solely out of M&T Bank’s own funds the entire principal amount of any Loan Request (any such funding being referred to as an “M&T Advance”). Each Lender shall purchase an irrevocable and unconditional participation in each M&T Advance, in an amount equal to each Lender’s respective Floor Plan Loan Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of such M&T Advance, effective immediately upon the funding of each M&T Advance. Each Lender shall have the unconditional and irrevocable obligation to pay, and does hereby agree to pay, to M&T Bank, on each Floor Plan Loan Adjustment Date, an amount equal to such Lender’s Floor Plan Loan Commitment Percentage of each M&T Advance, and settlement shall occur between M&T Bank and all other Lenders on each Floor Plan Loan Adjustment Date such that after each such settlement, the Lenders shall each hold that percentage of the then aggregate outstanding principal balances of the Floor Plan Loans equal to each Lender’s respective Floor Plan Loan Commitment Percentage. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in M&T Advances and make payments to M&T Bank on account of such participations pursuant to this Section is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other Debtor Relief Laws with respect to any of Borrowers) or the reduction or termination of the Floor Plan Loan Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. All payments of principal, interest and any other amount with respect to each outstanding M&T Advance shall be payable to and received by the Administrative Agent for the account of M&T Bank. Any payments received by the Administrative Agent between Floor Plan Loan Adjustment Dates that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement are to be applied to the reduction of the outstanding aggregate principal balances of the Floor Plan Loans, shall be paid over to and retained by M&T Bank for such application to the outstanding M&T Advances and credited against the Lenders’ respective purchases of participation interests in the respective M&T Advances, subject to the provisions of Section 2.14.

2.02.2. Automated Sweep Program. M&T Bank may elect to process M&T Advances under any automated sweep program in effect at M&T Bank from time to time to facilitate automatic M&T Advances to cover submitted Loan Requests.
2.02.3. Repayment Obligations of Borrowers. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally and unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of M&T Bank all amounts outstanding on account of the M&T Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, on the terms and subject to the conditions applicable to the Floor Plan Loans and the Floor Plan Loan Notes. Nothing in this Section 2.02, including but not limited to the purchase of participations in an M&T Advance pursuant to this Section 2.02, shall relieve the Borrowers of any obligation for payments under the Floor Plan Loans and Floor Plan Loan Notes, or under the M&T Advances, or for any default by the Borrowers in the payment thereof. The Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, to apply the Equity Offset to payments due to M&T under the M&T Advances.
Section 2.03. Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, each of the Lenders severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (the “Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrowers as joint and several obligors from time to time during the Commitment Period until the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that (a) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Credit Dollar Cap, and (b) with regard to each Lender, the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. The Borrowers shall not request any advances of proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans which would cause the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Revolving Credit Loans to exceed the above-stated limitations. In the event that the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Revolving Credit Loans exceed the above-stated limitations, the Borrowers shall immediately make such payments to the Administrative Agent as will be sufficient to reduce the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Revolving Credit Loans to an aggregate amount which will not be in excess of such limitations. Each Revolving Credit Loan extended by a Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to the Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans requested on such occasion. Subject to the application and satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the other Credit Documents, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay, and reborrow the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part until the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Revolving Credit Loans may consist of Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings or a LIBOR Borrowing at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, or a combination thereof, as the Borrowers may request in accordance with the terms hereof.
47 |
2.03.1 Revolving Credit Loan Promissory Notes. The joint and several obligations of the Borrowers to repay the Revolving Credit Loans to each Lender shall be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note. The Borrowers shall deliver a Revolving Credit Note on the date of Closing to each of the Lenders executed by an Authorized Officer of each Borrower, with the face amount of each of such Revolving Credit Notes to be in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the respective Lender.
2.03.2 Procedure For Revolving Credit Loan Borrowings. The Borrowers may borrow proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans until (but not including) the Revolving Credit Termination Date, provided, that the Borrower Representative on behalf of the Borrowers delivers to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, written, fully completed Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower Representative (which Loan Request must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time) (a) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested advances of proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially LIBOR Borrowings at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, or (b) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date if all of the requested advances of proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings. Each Loan Request shall specify: (i) the aggregate amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, and (iii) whether the borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing, an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing, or a combination thereof. The Loan Requests may be delivered to the Administrative Agent via facsimile or by other electronic transmission it being agreed that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of the Person making any such request without receipt of any other confirmation. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of each notice and the contents thereof. Each Lender shall make the amount of its pro rata share (calculated in accordance with its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage) of each requested borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Borrowers at the offices of the Administrative Agent specified in this Agreement prior to 1:00 pm (Eastern Time) on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrowers in U.S. Dollars and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.

The Borrowers unconditionally, jointly and severally, promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of the Lenders on or before the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable as required by the stated provisions of this Agreement). The Borrowers unconditionally, jointly and severally, promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders all interest which has accrued upon the unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans from time to time outstanding from the date of Closing until the date of payment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans at the rates per annum and on the dates set forth in Section 2.07 of this Agreement.

In calculating the Revolving Credit Unused Commitment Fees, (x) the aggregate Stated Amount of L/C Obligations (but excluding any L/C Obligations on account of the Existing Letters of Credit) shall be deemed usage of Revolving Credit Commitments, but (y) Swingline Loans shall not be deemed usage of Revolving Credit Commitments other than with respect to Revolving Credit Unused Commitment Fees owing to the Lender which is the Swingline Lender. The Revolving Credit Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each succeeding Fiscal Quarter with the first of such payments to be scheduled for payment on July 1, 2018.

The Borrowers shall have the right at any time, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Credit Dollar Cap, provided that (a) each reduction shall be in an amount of not less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) or, if greater, a multiple of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), and (b) no reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, and to any repayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum of the aggregate principal balances of the Revolving Credit Loans then unpaid and outstanding plus the aggregate unpaid balances of Swingline Loans plus the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations outstanding would exceed the Revolving Credit Dollar Cap then in effect.
Section 2.04. Swingline Loan Subfacility. During the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make certain revolving credit loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrowers in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day provided that, (a) the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Committed Amount, and (b) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Dollar Cap.

Each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of (a) the Swingline Termination Date, or (b) such earlier maturity date as may be agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrowers.

Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount.
49 |
2.04.2. Repayment of Swingline Loans Upon Swingline Conversion Event. The Swingline Lender may, at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Swingline Conversion Event, by written notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, demand repayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans, in which case the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Loan borrowing in the amount of the unpaid balances of the Swingline Loans comprised solely of Revolving Credit Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted Base Rate (or at the Default Rate if there is a continuing Event of Default). Each Lender irrevocably agrees to extend its pro rata share of the requested Revolving Credit Loans notwithstanding (a) that the amount of the borrowing may not satisfy the Minimum Borrowing Amount for Revolving Credit Loans, (b) that a Default or Event of Default may exist, (c) the failure of any request or deemed request for the Revolving Credit Loans to be timely made, (d) that the date of such borrowing is not a date on which Revolving Credit Loans are otherwise permitted to be made, or (e) any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the applicable Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each applicable Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s pro rata percentage of the unused Revolving Credit Commitments of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each applicable Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or the reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each applicable Lender shall comply with its obligations under this Section by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. All interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as to which the participations have been purchased. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrowers (or from any other Person on behalf of the Borrowers) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default by the Borrowers in the payment thereof.

Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05.3 to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their joint and several obligations to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.
2.05.4. Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrowers. The Borrowers jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably promise to reimburse the Issuing Bank on each date on which either the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers of an L/C Disbursement for the amount of the L/C Disbursement, including but not limited to the amount of any draft so paid and any taxes, charges, or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to automatically constitute a request by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing of proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans in the amount of such drawing to be made on the date on which either the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers of the drawing, and the proceeds of such Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing shall be advanced directly by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank for application to the Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section.

The Borrowers agree and acknowledge that none of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or the Lenders shall be responsible for, nor shall the Borrowers’ duties and obligations hereunder under the Credit Documents be affected by, among other things (a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any documents or of any endorsements thereon presented in connection with any draft upon a Letter of Credit, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, (b) any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, or (c) any claims whatsoever of the Borrowers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any of the Lenders shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with the issuance, administration, or payment of any drafts presented against any Letter of Credit. The Borrowers agree and acknowledge that any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or the Lenders under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of any of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or the Lenders to the Borrowers, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

Interest accrued pursuant to this Section shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.05.3 to purchase a participation from the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such purchasing Lender to the extent of such payment.

Such fees and costs and charges shall be due and payable on demand and shall be nonrefundable.
2.05.10. Letters of Credit Issued for Other Loan Parties or Subsidiaries.

Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the accounts of other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries of such Borrower and any other Loan Party inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that its business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries.

If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any Loans at the LIBOR Rate and/or the Daily LIBOR Rate, the Borrower shall immediately convert all outstanding Adjusted LIBOR Rate Borrowings and/or Adjusted Daily LIBOR Borrowings, as applicable, to Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings or pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all affected Loans then outstanding at the LIBOR Rate or Daily LIBOR Rate, together with accrued interest and related Credit Party Expenses.

2.07.7. Default Interest. The interest rates payable upon the Loans (including M&T Advances) may be increased to the Default Rate during any continuing Event of Default upon the election of the Required Lenders until the Event of Default has been cured to the satisfaction of the Required Lenders or waived by the Administrative Agent upon the authorization of the Required Lenders.
2.07.8. Maximum Rate Of Interest. Any provision contained in the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lenders shall not be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall the Borrowers be obligated to pay, interest, fees, or charges thereunder in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by any applicable Law, and if any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents is construed or held by any court of law or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction to permit or require the charging, collection or payment of any amount of interest in excess of that permitted by such Laws, the provisions of this Section shall control and shall override any contrary or inconsistent provision.

Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary by the terms of this Agreement, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s offices in Buffalo, New York in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender by wire transfer such Lender’s pro rata share of each of such payments in like funds as received. The Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payments on the applicable date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or to the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payments, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry customs and rules on interbank compensation.
2.08.2. Funding Of Loans. The Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender will fund timely its pro rata portion of each borrowing requested by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (a) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry customs and rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (b) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such share included in the subject borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
2.08.3. Ratable Sharing. Each borrowing by the Borrowers shall be made ratably from the Lenders in accordance with their applicable respective Commitment Percentages. Any reduction in the Floor Plan Line of Credit Dollar Cap and the Revolving Credit Dollar Cap shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value in Dollars) participations in the Loans and participations in the L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiaries thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
Section 2.09. Application Of Payments. Except as expressly required to the contrary by the terms of this Agreement, all payments received upon the Loans may be applied first to Credit Party Expenses, next to late payment charges, then to accrued interest and the unpaid principal balances of the Loans, or in such other order as elected by the Required Lenders.
Section 2.10. Increased Costs.
2.10.1. Increased Costs Generally. If any Change In Law shall:
(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Bank;
(b) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(c) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London Interbank Market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any LIBOR Borrowing made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient of making, converting to or continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon the request of such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient, the Borrowers agree to pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
61 |
2.10.2. Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers agree to pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
2.10.3. Certificate for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section 2.10 and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers promise to pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
2.10.4. Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than twelve (12) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the twelve (12) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 2.11. Taxes.
2.11.1. Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.
62 |
2.11.2. Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
2.11.3. Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
2.11.4. Indemnification. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.11.5. Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (a) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (b) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.03 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (c) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.11.5.
2.11.6. Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
63 |
2.11.7. Status of Lenders.
(a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrowers are U.S. Borrowers,
(i) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(ii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(B) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
64 |
(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(iii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(iv) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
2.11.8. Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.11 of this Agreement (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.11.8 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11.8, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11.8 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amount with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
65 |
2.11.9. Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.
Section 2.12. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
2.12.1. Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
2.12.2. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.12.1, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.02), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the administrative fee (if any) specified in Section 10.02;
(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.07.3) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
66 |
(e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
Section 2.13. Cash Collateral.
2.13.1. Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (a) if the Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (b) if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver Cash Collateral to the Administrative Agent in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.14.1(d) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
2.13.2. Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts maintained at M&T Bank. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby each grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as Collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the Obligations to be applied in accordance with Sections 2.13.3 and 2.13.4. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers or the applicable Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
2.13.3. Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any provisions of this Agreement shall be held and first applied to the satisfaction of the specific Obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be otherwise provided for herein.
2.13.4. Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or with respect to any other obligations shall be released promptly following (a) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its Eligible Assignee following compliance with Section 10.02) or (b) the Administrative Agent’s and the Issuing Bank’s and Swingline Lender’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in Section 2.13.3 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.05), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
67 |
Section 2.14. Defaulting Lenders.
2.14.1. Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws:
(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.07 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.14; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (ii) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.13; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable credit facility without giving effect to Section 2.14.1(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(c) Certain Fees.
(i) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Floor Plan Unused Commitment Fee or a Revolving Credit Unused Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
68 |
(ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the limited extent allocable to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.13.
(iii) With respect to any Floor Plan Unused Commitment Fee, Revolving Credit Unused Commitment Fee, or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fees.
(d) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 2.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(e) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available hereunder or under Law, (i) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (ii) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13.
2.14.2. Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank each agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable credit facility (without giving effect to Section 2.14.1(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
2.14.3. New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (a) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (b) the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
69 |
Section 2.15. Fees. The Borrowers promise to pay to M&T Bank for M&T Bank’s own account such fees as are required by the terms of the Fee Letter.
Section 2.16. Payments. All payments received by the Credit Parties which are to be applied to reduce the Obligations shall be provisional and shall not be considered final unless and until such payment is not subject to avoidance under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, including Sections 547 and 550, or any other Debtor Relief Law. If any payment is avoided or set aside under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 547 and 550 thereof, or any other Debtor Relief Law, the payment shall be considered not to have been made for all purposes of this Agreement and the Credit Parties shall adjust their respective records to reflect the fact that the avoided payment was not made and has not been credited against the Obligations.
Section 2.17. Advancements. If the Borrowers or any other Loan Party fail to perform any of their respective agreements or covenants contained in the Credit Documents or if the Borrowers or any other Loan Party fails to protect or preserve the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or the status and priority of the Liens of the Credit Parties in the Collateral or in any other security for the Obligations, the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders may make advances to perform the same on behalf of the Borrowers or other Loan Party to protect or preserve the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or the status and priority of the Liens of the Credit Parties in the Collateral or in any other security for the Obligations, and all sums so advanced shall immediately upon such advance become secured by the Liens granted in the Credit Documents and any other security for the Obligations, and shall become part of the principal amount owed to the Lenders with interest to be assessed at the Default Rate. The Borrowers promise to repay on demand all sums so advanced on the Borrowers’ behalf, plus all expenses or costs incurred by the Administrative Agent, on account of the Lenders, including reasonable legal fees, with interest thereon. The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to prevent the institution of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. The authorization contained in this Section is not intended to impose any duty or obligation on the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to perform any action or make any advancement on behalf of the Borrowers and is intended to be for the sole benefit and protection of the Credit Parties.
Section 2.18. Co-Borrower Provisions.
2.18.1. Borrower Representative. To facilitate administration of the Loans, the Borrower Representative (a) is designated and appointed by each of the other Borrowers as its representative and agent on its behalf (the “Borrower Representative”) and (ii) accepts such appointment as the Borrower Representative, in each case and with full power and authority to issue, execute, deliver and acknowledge as appropriate, Loan Requests, notices of election and make the interest rate elections set forth therein, and certificates including Compliance Certificates, and to give instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, give and receive all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents and take all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document from the Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of any Borrower by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower. This power-of-attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked, modified or amended without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document from the Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of a Borrower by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.
70 |
2.18.2. Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates all Intercompany Indebtedness that it may have from or against any other Borrower or other Loan Party, and any successor or assign of any other Borrower or other Loan Party, including, without limitation, any trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing and whether heretofore, now or hereafter existing, to all of the Obligations of the other Borrower or the other Loan Parties owed to the Credit Parties.
2.18.3. Postponement of Subrogation. Until all of the Obligations are paid in full, no Borrower shall have any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, nor any right of recourse to security for any of the Obligations, and nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of a Borrower hereunder, until the full, final and absolute payment and performance of all of the Obligations at any time after all Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement are terminated. All present and future debts and obligations of each Borrower to any other Loan Party are hereby waived and postponed in favor of and subordinated to the full payment and performance of all present and future Obligations.
2.18.4. No Discharge. No Obligation of any Borrower or other Loan Party shall be affected, discharged or impaired by any of the following: (a) bankruptcy, disability, dissolution, incompetence, death, insolvency, liquidation, or reorganization of any other Borrower or any Loan Party; (b) any defense of any other Borrower or Loan Party to payment or performance of any or all of the Obligations or enforcement of any or all rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Collateral; (c) discharge, modification of the terms of, reduction in the amount of, or stay of enforcement of any or all liens and encumbrances in the Collateral or any or all Obligations in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other legal proceeding or by application of any applicable Laws; (d) any claim or dispute by any other Borrower or other Loan Party concerning the occurrence of an Event of Default, performance of any Obligations, or any other matter; (e) any waiver or modification of any provision of the Credit Documents that affects any other Borrower or other Loan Party, whether or not such waiver or modification affects all Borrowers and/or all Loan Parties; (f) the cessation of liability, release or discharge of any other Borrower or any other Loan Party or other obligor for any reason; (g) the perfection or failure to perfect, release or discharge of any Collateral or other security; (h) the exercise or failure to exercise any rights or remedies pursuant to the Credit Documents by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders or any election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders; (i) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Credit Documents or any limitation of the liability of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under the Credit Documents, including any claim that the Credit Documents were not duly authorized, executed, or delivered on behalf of any Borrower or any other Loan Party; (j) any other acts or omissions by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that result in or could result in the release or discharge of any other Borrower or any other Loan Party; or (k) the occurrence of any other event or the existence of any other condition that by operation of law or otherwise could result in the release or discharge of a surety, guarantor, or other persons secondarily liable on an obligation.
71 |
2.18.5. Waivers. Each Borrower unconditionally waives: (a) any requirement that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders first make demand upon, or seek to enforce or exhaust remedies against any (i) other Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) the Collateral or other property of any Borrower or any other Loan Party; or (iii) other Person, before demanding payment from or seeking to enforce the Obligations against such Borrower; (b) any requirement of applicable Law that might operate to limit any Borrower’s liability under, or the enforcement of, the Obligations; (c) diligence, presentment, protest, demand for performance, notice of acceptance, notice of nonperformance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of extension, renewal, alteration or amendment, notice of acceptance of the Credit Documents, notice of default under any of the Credit Documents (except as provided in the Credit Documents), and all other notices whatsoever, except for notices specifically required pursuant to other provisions of the Credit Documents; (d) any obligation of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to provide any Borrower any information, including any information concerning any other Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Collateral; and (e) any other claim or defense that otherwise would be available based on principles of suretyship or guarantee or otherwise governing secondary obligations.
2.18.6. Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower guarantees to the Credit Parties the payment in full of all of the Obligations owned by each of the other Borrowers and further guarantees the due performance by each of the other Borrowers of its respective duties and covenants made in favor of the Credit Parties in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. Each Borrower agrees that neither this cross guaranty nor the joint and several liability of the Borrowers provided in this Agreement nor the Credit Parties’ liens and rights in any of the Collateral shall be impaired or affected by any modification, supplement, extension or amendment of any contract or agreement to which the parties hereto may hereafter agree, nor by any modification, release or other alteration of any of the rights of the Credit Parties with respect to any of the Collateral, nor by any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations, nor by any other agreements or arrangements whatever with the other Borrowers or with any other Person, each Borrower hereby waiving all notice of any such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consenting to be bound thereby as fully and effectively as if it had expressly agreed thereto in advance. Except as may be expressly stated in this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of each Borrower hereunder is direct and unconditional as to all of the Obligations (except as may be expressly stated in this Agreement to the contrary), and may be enforced without requiring the Credit Parties first to resort to any other right, remedy or security.
2.18.7. Obligations Among Loan Parties. NOTHING IN THIS SUBSECTION SHALL LIMIT THE OBLIGATIONS OF ANY BORROWER TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR TO ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY OR OTHERWISE LIMIT THE JOINT AND SEVERAL NATURE OF THE OBLIGATIONS. EACH BORROWER SHALL BE FULLY, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY LIABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY ALLOCATION OF LOSSES AND LIABILITIES PURSUANT TO THIS SUBSECTION OR OTHERWISE AND, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY SUCH ALLOCATION, EACH BORROWER HAS EXPRESSLY ASSUMED THE RISK THAT SUCH BORROWER’S ACTUAL LIABILITY MAY EXCEED SUCH BORROWER’S PRO RATA SHARE AND THAT OVERPAYMENTS MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE REIMBURSED OR INDEMNIFIED. Subject to the foregoing, the Borrowers agree that the provisions of this subsection are intended to provide for an allocation of the Obligations among Borrowers. Accordingly, as among the Borrowers, if any Borrower (the “Overpaying Borrower”) pays (whether directly or by application of Collateral), or is otherwise held liable for, obligations in excess of the Borrower Pro Rata Share for the Overpaying Borrower, the other Borrowers will pay the amount of such excess to the Overpaying Borrower and will indemnify the Overpaying Borrower for, from and against any claims, damages, loss or liability arising from or related to such overpayment. The Borrowers agree to maintain books and records accurately reflecting each Borrower Pro Rata Share. This Section is only intended to allocate payments, losses, and liabilities among the Borrowers only in order that (a) as solely between the Borrowers, each Borrower is ultimately liable for its Borrower Pro Rata Share; and (b) the value to each Borrower of the resulting rights and claims against other Borrowers pursuant to this Section will assure that no Borrower is rendered “insolvent” by virtue of the Obligations for purposes of any applicable Law. The rights and obligations among Borrowers pursuant to this subsection shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations, shall be considered as Intercompany Indebtedness, and shall be subject to the other provisions of Section 2.18, including those set forth above relating to the subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.
72 |
Section 2.19. Swap Obligations; Keepwell. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, Swap Obligations of any Loan Party that is not an Eligible Contract Participant shall not include any Excluded Swap Liabilities; provided however, to the extent that a Loan Party is an Eligible Contract Participant, such Loan Party (in addition to its other Obligations and agreements hereunder), hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party in respect of the Swap Obligations. The obligations of each Loan Party, to the extent that it is an Eligible Contract Participant, under this Section 2.19 shall remain in full force and effect until indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each Loan Party , to the extent that such Loan Party is an Eligible Contract Participant, intends that this Section 2.19 constitute, and this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA.
Section 2.20. Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) | the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and | |
(b) | the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: |
(i) | a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; | |
(ii) | a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or | |
(iii) | the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. |

Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders (the “Resignation Effective Date”)), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and the provisions of Section 10.08 of this Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of such Lender’s interests, rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including for purposes hereof, its participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans) provided that (a) an administrative fee in the amount of Five Thousand ($5,000.00) is paid to the Administrative Agent by either the assigning Lender or the Eligible Assignee in connection with the assignment, (b) if less than all of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans is to be assigned, the amount of the Commitments and Loans so assigned shall be for an aggregate principal amount of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), (c) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate amount of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans and Commitments assigned (except this clause (c) shall not apply to the Swingline Lender’s rights and obligations in the Swingline Loans), (d) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment And Assumption to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance, and (e) such Assignment And Assumption does not require the filing of a registration statement with the Securities And Exchange Commission or require the Loans or the Notes to be qualified in conformance with the requirements imposed by any blue sky Laws or other Laws of any state.

102 |
10.02.3. Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.02.2, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (a) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (b) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its respective Commitment Percentages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Laws without compliance with the provisions of this Section, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
10.02.4. Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a limited fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment And Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the amount of the Loans with respect to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
10.02.5. Procedures for Implementing Lender Assignments. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of an Assignment And Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee together with any Note or Notes subject to such Assignment and Assumption and any necessary consents to such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been completed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a) accept such Assignment And Assumption, (b) record the information contained therein in the Register, (c) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers, and (d) promptly deliver a copy of such Assignment And Assumption to the Borrowers. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of notice, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Notes, new Notes to the order of such Eligible Assignee in amounts equal to the Commitments and Commitment Percentages assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment And Assumption and new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Commitment Percentages retained by the assigning Lender. Such Notes shall be in the aggregate stated principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment And Assumption and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes delivered to the assigning Lender. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrowers. The Borrowers expressly acknowledge that the cancellation of any Note or Notes and the replacement of any Note or Notes in accordance with this provision shall not constitute or be deemed to be a refinancing or a novation of any of the Obligations.
103 |
10.02.6. Cashless Settlements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.
Section 10.03. Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than to a Defaulting Lender, a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person), or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (c) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 2.11.5. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.07.3, 2.10 and 2.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11.7 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11.7 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.02 of this Agreement; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.02 of this Agreement; and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 2.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.12.2 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.07 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.08 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a limited non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
104 |
Section 10.04. Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

After the resignation of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit. After the resignation of the Swingline Lender hereunder, the retiring Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to make any additional Swingline Loans.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrowers or any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender or the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such Obligations of the Borrowers or any Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

The Lender and the Issuing Bank each agree to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by a Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, if a Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 10.08.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
10.08.3. Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.08.1 or 10.08.2 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the aggregate Total Credit Exposure for all Lenders at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender solely in its capacity as such, only the holders of Revolving Credit Loans shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such payment to be made severally among them based on each of such Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) provided, further, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank or any the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity.
10.08.4. Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, each Borrower agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 10.08.2 above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
107 |
10.08.5. Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.
10.08.6. Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.08 shall survive the termination of the Credit Documents and the payment of the Obligations hereunder.
Section 10.09. Course of Conduct. No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Credit Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Credit Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless such waiver is made in accordance with Section 10.01 of this Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No waiver or indulgence by any of the Credit Parties shall constitute a future waiver of performance or exact performance by any of the Loan Parties. No amendment or waiver shall be effective unless in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the advance of proceeds of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or an Event of Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time of such advance or issuance.

No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers or to any other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrowers’, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Credit Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.
109 |
Section 10.11. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agree to maintain the confidentiality of the “Information” (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or the credit facilities hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities hereunder; (h) with the consent of the Borrowers; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Section 10.12. Counterparts And Integration. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or a Lender Addendum by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be just as effective as the delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
110 |
Section 10.13. Electronic Execution. The words “execution”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Credit Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Without limitation to the foregoing, signature pages to the Credit Documents delivered by electronic communication (including facsimile, e-mail and internet or intranet websites) shall be as effective, valid and enforceable and binding upon the indicated signatories as manually delivered signatures.
Section 10.14. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 10.15. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Credit Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Credit Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Credit Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.07.3, 2.09, 2.10.4, 2.10.5, Article 9 and Section 10.08 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 10.16. Time. Time is of the essence to this Agreement.
Section 10.17. Advertisement. The Borrowers authorize the Administrative Agent to publish the names of the Borrowers and the amount of the financing provided in accordance with this Agreement in any “tombstone” or comparable advertisement which the Administrative Agent elects to publish. The Borrowers further agree that the Administrative Agent may provide lending industry trade organizations with information necessary and customary (including, without limitation, the amount and type of facilities, the rates and counsel’s name) for inclusion in league table measurements after the Closing Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers consent to the disclosure by the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date of information relating to the Loans to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, with such information to consist of deal terms consisting of (a) the Borrowers’ names, (b) principal loan amounts, (c) interest rates, (d) term lengths, (e) commitment fees and other fees to the Lenders in the syndicate, and (f) the identity of their attorneys and other information customarily found in such publications.
111 |
Section 10.18. Acknowledgments. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) it and each of the other Loan Parties has been advised and represented by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of each Credit Document, (b) no Credit Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to it or any other Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the relationship between the Credit Parties, on one hand, and the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of creditors and debtors, and (c) no joint venture exists among any of the Credit Parties and the Borrowers or any of the other Loan Parties.
Section 10.19. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any claims, disputes or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) arising out of or related to this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except as to any other Credit Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transaction contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the Governing State.
Section 10.20. Jurisdiction. Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in Law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
Section 10.21. Venue. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents in any court referred to in Section 10.20. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
Section 10.22. Service Of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.10. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
Section 10.23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OBLIGATIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Section 10.24. USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Credit Party that is subject to the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Credit Party to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.
