--------
2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be

month. Any such automatic conversion to a Base Rate Loan and any such
continuation of a Eurodollar Loan, in either case, shall be effective as of the
last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
Eurodollar Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Eurodollar Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but the

continuation of a Eurodollar Loan, it will be deemed to have specified an
Interest Period of one month.

promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the
applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or
continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Agent shall notify each Lender of
the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of
Eurodollar Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a
Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan
available to the Agent in immediately available funds at the Agent's Office not
later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed
Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section
-------
4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the
---- ------------
Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds
as received by the Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on
the books of First Hawaiian Bank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire
transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to
(and reasonably acceptable to) the Agent by the Borrower.
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested
as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Loans without the consent of the
Required Lenders.
(d) The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans upon
determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are
outstanding, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change
in First Hawaiian Bank's prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly
following the public announcement of such change.
(e) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of

(D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a
currency other than Dollars; or
(E) a default by any Lender of its obligations to
fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such
---------------
time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has
entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or
such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer's risk with respect to
such Lender.
(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if
the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter
of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.
(v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any
Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such
time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms
hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept
the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with
respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents
associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits
and immunities (A) provided to the Agent in Article IX with respect to
----------
any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection
with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and
Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if
the term "Agent" as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with
----------
respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided
herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit;
-----------------------------------------------------------
Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.
--------------------------------
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the
case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C
Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit
Application, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized
Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be
received by the L/C Issuer and the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at
least three Business Days (or such later date and time as the Agent and
the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole
discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment,
as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of
a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in
form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed
issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day); (B) the stated amount thereof; (C) the expiry date
thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the
documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by
such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other
matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a
request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such
Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended;
(B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business
Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other
matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the
Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Agent such other
documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit
issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C
Issuer or the Agent may reasonably require.
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit
Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Agent (by telephone
or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of
Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will
provide the Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has
received written notice from any Lender, the Agent or the Borrower, at
least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or
amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more
applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be
----------
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C
Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the
account of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the
applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance
with the L/C Issuer's usual and customary business practices.
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender
shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of
Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Applicable
Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of
Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic
extension provisions (each, an "Auto-Extension Letter of Credit");
-------------------------------
provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the
--------
L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each
twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not
later than a day (the "Non-Extension Notice Date") in each such
-------------------------
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit
is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower
shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for
any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been
issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not
require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of
Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall
-------- -------
not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that
it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to
issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the
terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of
Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may
---------------
be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five
Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Agent
that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or
(2) from the Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied,
------------
and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such
extension.
(iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of
Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the
automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount
thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an "Auto-Reinstatement
------------------
Letter of Credit"). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the
----------------
Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C
Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter
of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following
sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not
require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated
amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of
Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement
Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or
any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by
giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of
days after such drawing (the "Non-Reinstatement Deadline"), the L/C
--------------------------
Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice
(which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is
five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the
Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such
reinstatement or (B) from the Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that
one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is
------------
not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit
Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the
L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.
(v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any
amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect
thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver
to the Borrower and the Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter
of Credit or amendment and any other Issuer Documents related thereto
and not previously provided to the Borrower.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
------------------------------------------------------
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit
of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer
shall notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00
a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of
Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), the Borrower shall reimburse
----------
the L/C Issuer through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of
such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by
such time, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor
Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the "Unreimbursed
------------
Amount"), and the amount of such Lender's Applicable Percentage
------
thereof. In such event, and in lieu of the obligation of the Borrower
to reimburse the L/C Issuer as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an
amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the
conditions for extensions of credit in Section 4.02 or the minimum and
------------
multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base
------------
Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the
Aggregate Commitments. If any Unreimbursed Amount is not fully
refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because a
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans cannot be made for any reason,
then each Lender shall fund its participation interest in the
unreimbursed drawing under such Letter of Credit promptly on notice
from the Administrative Agent by making funds available to the Agent
for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Agent's Office in an amount
equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Unreimbursed
Amount. Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Agent pursuant to
this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately
------------------
confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate
--------
confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of
such notice.
(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section
-------
2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Agent for the account of the L/C
----------
Issuer at the Agent's Office in an amount equal to its Applicable
Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 10:00 a.m. on the
Business Day specified in such notice by the Agent. The Agent shall
remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
(iii) Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or its
participation interest pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse
---------------
the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit,
interest in respect of such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such
amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
(iv) Each Lender's obligation to make Committed Loans or to
fund its participation interest, as contemplated by this Section
-------
2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected
-------
by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against
the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any
other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing. No funding of any participation interest by a Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount
of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit,
together with interest as provided herein.
(v) If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the
---------------
time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled
-------------------
to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such
amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment
is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus
any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by
the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays
such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender's Committed Loan included in the relevant
Committed Borrowing or such Lender's funding of its participation
interest, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted
to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing
under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Repayment of Participations by the Lenders.
------------------------------------------
(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under
any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender's
payment for its participation interest in such Letter of Credit, if the
Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect
of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether
directly from the Borrower or otherwise), the Agent will distribute to
such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as
those received by the Agent.
(ii) If any payment received by the Agent for the account of
the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be
------------------
returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05
-------------
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in
its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Agent for the account of
the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date
such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to
the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of
the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse
--------------------
the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each
Unreimbursed Amount under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of
Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense
or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time
against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or
any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be
acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter
of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any
unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document
presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a
drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by
the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to
be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the
benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of
or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of
Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under
any Debtor Relief Law; or
(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge
of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and
each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, the
Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in
------------------
paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer,
the Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent,
participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i)
any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the
approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action
taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or
(iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any
document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The
Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or
transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however,
-------- -------
that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower's
pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or
transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent,
participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any
of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e);
---------------
provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary
-------- -------
notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the
L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent,
of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the
Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer's willful
misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer's willful failure to pay under
any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight
draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a
Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C
Issuer 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 L/C Issuer 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.
(g) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a
-----------------------------------------
Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any
obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be
obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under
such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of
Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the
Borrower, and that the Borrower's business derives substantial benefits from the
businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by
----------------------------
the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any
such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the
ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the
Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published
by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to
each commercial Letter of Credit.
(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the
---------------------
account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of
Credit fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") for each Letter of Credit equal to the
--------------------
Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter
-----
of Credit. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter
of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand,
(ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (iii) computed for the actual
number of days that such Letters of Credit are outstanding during the applicable
quarter. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the
daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed
and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such
quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any
Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default
Rate.
(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C
------------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a
------
fronting fee with respect to each issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit,
at a rate and at the times separately agreed between the Borrower and the L/C
Issuer. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its
own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing
fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to
letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and
standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict
------------------------------
between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof
shall control.
2.04 Swing Line Loans.
(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
--------------
herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the
other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a
------------
"Swing Line Loan") to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during
---------------
the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided, however, that after
-------- -------
giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not
exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of
the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender's Applicable Percentage of
----
the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender's Applicable
----
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed
such Lender's Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use
-------- -------
the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line
Loan. Prior to a refinancing of a Swing Line Loan or the funding of a risk
participation in Swing Line Loans, in either case, pursuant to Section 2.04(c),
it is understood and agreed that the outstanding Swing Line Loans, when
aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed
Loans and L/C Obligations of the Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of
such Lender's Commitment. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower may borrow Swing Line Loans under this Section 2.04, repay or prepay
------------
such Swing Line Loans, reborrow such Swing Line Loans and borrow other Swing
Line Loans under this Section 2.04. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line
------------
Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such
Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Applicable
Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
-----
(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon
--------------------
the Borrower's irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Agent, which
may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line
Lender and the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the requested borrowing date,
and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of
$100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.
Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly (and in any event within
one (1) Business Day) by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Agent of a
written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line
Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will
confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has also
received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will
notify the Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless
the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the
Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of
the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to
make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the
proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the
---------------
applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then,
----------
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not
later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan
Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.
(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
-------------------------------
(i) At any time after the date of repayment of any Swing Line
Loan that was agreed between the Borrower and the Swing Line Lender
following the giving of the Swing Line Loan Notice and before the
making of such Swing Line Loan, to the extent that all or any portion
of such Swing Line Loan has not been repaid by the Borrower on the
agreed date for repayment, the Swing Line Lender at any time in its
sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower
(which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so
request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an
amount equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the amount of
Swing Line Loans then outstanding (which Base Rate Loans shall be used
to refinance such Swing Line Loans). Such request shall be made in
writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan
Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified
------------
therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the
unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower
------------
with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after
delivering such notice to the Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount
equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such
Committed Loan Notice available to the Agent in immediately available
funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Agent's Office
not later than 10:00 a.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan
Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so
-------------------
makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to
the Borrower in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so
received to the Swing Line Lender. To the extent that a Swing Line Loan
has been refinanced with a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.04(c)(i), such Swing Line Loan shall be deemed repaid
for all purposes herein.
(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be
refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section
-------
2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line
----------
Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing
Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender's payment to the Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall
------------------
be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for
the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by
such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
-------
2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line
------- ------------------
Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through
the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period
from the date such payment is required to the date on which such
payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per
annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection
with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and
fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's
Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded
participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A
certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through
the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii)
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv) Each Lender's obligation to make Committed Loans or to
purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
---------------
be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may
have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a
Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
-------- -------
Lender's obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section
-------
2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such
------- ------------
funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with
interest as provided herein.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
---------------------------
(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a
risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender
receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line
Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof
in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in
respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to
be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances
described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
-------------
entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender
shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on
demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand
to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate. The Agent will make such demand upon the request of
the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause
shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.
(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender
-----------------------------------------
shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line
Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant
to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender's Applicable Percentage of any
------------
Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be
solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all
--------------------------------------
payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly
to the Swing Line Lender.
2.05 Prepayments.
(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent, at any time or from
time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without
premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Agent
--------
not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) four Business Days prior to any date of prepayment
of Eurodollar Loans and (B) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment
of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each
case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such
notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of
Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Loans are to be prepaid, the
Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of
its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender's Applicable
Percentage of such prepayment. If the Borrower gives a prepayment notice, then
the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of
a Eurodollar Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount
prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
------------
Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
(b) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy
to the Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line
Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such
--------
notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be
in a minimum principal amount of $50,000. Each such notice shall specify the
date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the
Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(c) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the
Aggregate Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or cash
collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess;
provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to cash collateralize
-------- -------
the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) unless after the prepayment
---------------
in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments
then in effect.
2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon
notice to the Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time
permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice
--------
shall be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days
prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such reduction shall be
in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate
Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments
hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and
(iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the
Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the
Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the
amount of such excess. The Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such
notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction
of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender
according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective
date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the
effective date of such termination.
2.07 Repayment of Loans.
(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the
aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans outstanding on such date.
(b) Except to the extent previously refinanced with a Base Rate Loan
pursuant to Section 2.04(c), the Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on
the earlier to occur of (i) the date agreed between the Borrower and the Swing
Line Lender after the giving of a Swing Line Notice by the Borrower and before
the making of a Swing Line Loan by the Swing Line Lender (which date shall not
be greater than ten Business Days after such Loan is made) and (ii) the Maturity
Date.
2.08 Interest.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each
Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for
such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate; and (iii) each Swing
Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from
the applicable borrowing date at a rate agreed between the Borrower and the
Swing Line Lender after the giving of a Swing Line Notice by the Borrower and
before the making of a Swing Line Loan by the Swing Line Lender.
(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable
by the Borrower under any Loan Document (including any Unreimbursed
Amount that is not refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)) is not paid when due (without
regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required
Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating
interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any
Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the
principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default
Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts
(including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon
demand.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with
the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections
(i) and (j) of Section 2.03:
------------
(a) Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account
------------
of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a facility fee
equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount of the Aggregate
-----
Commitments (or, if the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, on the
Outstanding Amount of all Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C
Obligations), regardless of usage. The facility fee shall accrue at all times
during the Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Committed Loans,
Swing Line Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding), including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall
----------
be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day after the end
of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date
to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period
(and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). The facility fee shall be calculated
quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during
any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect.
(b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own
----------
accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such
fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason
whatsoever.
2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest
for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by First Hawaiian Bank's
"prime rate" shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and
interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.
Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and
shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the
Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same
--------
day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one
---------------
day. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
2.11 Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one
or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Agent in the
ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and
each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and
payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not,
however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to
pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the
accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the
request of any Lender made through the Agent, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to such Lender (through the Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such
Lender's Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach
schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount
and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection
(a), each Lender and the Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender
of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Agent and the
accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.12 Payments Generally; Agent's Clawback.
(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made
-------
without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or
setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the
Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the respective
Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Agent's Office in Dollars and in
immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date specified
herein. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable
Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office. All
payments received by the Agent after 10:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the
next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue
to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day
other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business
Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or
fees, as the case may be.
(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless the Agent
----------------------------------------
shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any Committed
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date prior to the date
of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the
Agent such Lender's share of such Committed Borrowing, the Agent may assume that
such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that
------------
such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time
required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
------------
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has
not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to
the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to
the 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 Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to
the Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the
greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Agent in
connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by
the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower
and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an
overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of
such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its
share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Agent, then the amount so
paid shall constitute such Lender's Committed Loan included in such Committed
Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim
the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the Agent.
(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent. Unless the Agent
-------------------------------------------
shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any
payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer
hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume
that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as
the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the
amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available
funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent,
at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
A notice of the Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any
amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.
(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes
---------------------------------------
available to the Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided
in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made
----------
available to the Borrower by the Agent because the conditions to the applicable
Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in
----------
accordance with the terms hereof, the Agent shall return such funds (in like
funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders
------------------------------
hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit
and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are
----------------
several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to
fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any
----------------
date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its
participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).
----------------
(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any
--------------
Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to
constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. 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 Committed Loans made by
it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it
resulting in such Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon
greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender
--- ----
receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and
subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line 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
Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
--------
(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations or subparticipations 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 (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment
obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of
a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in
L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant,
other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the
provisions of this Section shall apply).
The Borrower 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 the
Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of
such participation.
2.14 Reallocation of Commitments Among this Agreement and the
Alexander & Xxxxxxx Credit Agreement.
Provided that no Default exists and no Default (as defined in the
Alexander & Xxxxxxx Credit Agreement) exists, upon at least four (4) Business
Days written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) from
the Borrower and Alexander & Xxxxxxx, the Borrower may from time to time (but no
more frequently than once during any calendar month) reallocate (a "Commitment
----------
Reallocation") the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder and the Commitments (as
------------
defined in the Alexander & Xxxxxxx Credit Agreement) of the lenders under the
Alexander & Xxxxxxx Credit Agreement by either (i) decreasing the Aggregate
Commitments hereunder and increasing the Aggregate Alexander & Xxxxxxx
Commitments by a corresponding amount or (ii) increasing the Aggregate
Commitments hereunder and decreasing the Aggregate Alexander & Xxxxxxx
Commitments by a corresponding amount, in each case subject to the following
conditions:
(a) the Borrower shall have delivered a Commitment Reallocation Notice
to the Agent;
(b) any such Commitment Reallocation shall be in a minimum principal
amount of $5,000,000 and whole multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;
(c) any such Commitment Reallocation shall be applied ratably to the
Commitments of the Lenders;
(d) after giving effect to any such Commitment Reallocation, the
Aggregate Commitments shall not exceed $100,000,000;
(e) in connection with any Commitment Reallocation, the Borrower shall
prepay the Obligations to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.05(c) ,
---------------
together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05 if such prepayment is
------------
of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest
Period;
(f) before and after giving effect to any such Commitment Reallocation,
each of the Lenders must hold a ratable "Commitment" under, and as defined in,
the Alexander & Xxxxxxx Credit Agreement; and
(g) at the time of such Commitment Reallocation, the Borrower is a
wholly-owned Subsidiary of Alexander & Xxxxxxx.
This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the
-------------
contrary.
So long as no Default exists, upon at least three (3) Business Days
written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) from the
Borrower and Alexander & Xxxxxxx, this Section 2.14 (and the corresponding
------------
provisions of the Alexander & Xxxxxxx Credit Agreement) shall be terminated
whereupon no further Commitment Reallocations shall be permitted.
ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Indemnified Taxes. Any and all payments by or on
----------------------------------
account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding
for any Indemnified Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by
--------
applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.
(b) Payment of Other Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower. Without
--------------------------------------------------
limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay
any other Indemnified Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law.
(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
-------------------------------
Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, 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) paid by the
Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and, except to the
extent attributable to the applicable Lender's knowing delay in, or knowing
failure to timely pay such Indemnified Tax, any penalties, interest and
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 Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a
copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender
or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of
--------------------
Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority as required by
Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(c), the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certified
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing the subject
payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of the
subject payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an
-----------------
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction
in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the
time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if
requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the 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 request of the Borrower or the Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender
is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party,
(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI,
(iii) 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 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a
"bank" within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a
"10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation"
described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis
for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the
Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Agent, any Lender or the L/C
----------------------------
Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to
which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it
shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under
this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower,
--------
upon the request of the Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay
the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent, such
Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection
shall not be construed to require the Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to
make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes
that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has
made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is
unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or
fund Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions
on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of,
Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender
to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or
continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans
shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a
copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of
such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either (a) if such Lender may lawfully continue
to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, or (b) if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain
such Eurodollar Loans to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the
last day that such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar
Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay
accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine
that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Loan or a
conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being
offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable
amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan , or (c) the
Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each
Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar
Loans of the type covered by the Agent's notice shall be suspended until the
Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or, failing
that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
3.04 Increased Costs.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
-------------------------
(i) 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 or the L/C Issuer; or
(ii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London
interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of
Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer 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 or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will
pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines
--------------------
that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending
Office of such Lender or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company, if
any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's capital or on the capital of
such Lender's or the L/C Issuer'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 held by, such Lender, or the Letters of
Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the
L/C Issuer or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or
the L/C Issuer's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or
such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company for any such reduction
suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the
------------------------------
L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as
specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or
the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or
-----------------
the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's
right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be
--------
required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions
suffered more than three months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the L/C
Issuer'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
three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof).
3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy
to the Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such
Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred
by it as a result of:
(a) any conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan on a
day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether
voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of
such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow or continue a Eurodollar Loan or
to convert any Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan on the date or in the amount
notified by the Borrower; or
(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last
day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 10.13;
-------------
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of
funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any
customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the
foregoing.
3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
-----------------------------------------
compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any
------------
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
------------
Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to take such
------------
actions, including, to designate a different Lending Office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment
of such Lender, such actions, designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in
------------ ----
the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as
------------
applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender (as compared to actions taken by such Lender with
respect to other similarly situated borrowers). The Borrower hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with
any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
----------------------
Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
------------
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section
------------ -------
10.13.
-----
3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower's obligations under this Article
-------
III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all
---
other Obligations hereunder.

5.01 Organization. The Borrower and each Subsidiary with a tangible
net worth in excess of $500,000 is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the state of its organization. The Borrower and each
Material Subsidiary has the full power and authority to own its properties and
to carry on its business as now being conducted, and is duly qualified in every
state where the nature of its business requires that it do so, and is in good
standing under the laws of every jurisdiction outside the state of its
organization in which it owns or leases property or conducts business and in
which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Borrower and each Material Subsidiary has complied in all material respects with
(or is exempt from the application of) all material federal, state and local
laws, regulations and orders that are, or in the absence of any exemption could
be, applicable to the operations of its business, including public utility, bank
holding company, state agricultural and Environmental and Safety Laws, in each
case except to the extent that the failure to so comply would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower has full power,
authority and right to execute and deliver, and to perform and observe, the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to carry out the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents by the Borrower have been authorized by all
necessary corporate and other action, and, when duly executed and delivered,
will be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable
against it in accordance with their respective terms.
5.02 Financial Statements.
(a) The Audited Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as
otherwise expressly noted therein; (ii) fairly present the financial condition
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of
operations for the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly
noted therein; and (iii) show all material indebtedness and other liabilities,
direct or contingent, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date
thereof, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Debt.
(b) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries dated September 29, 2006, and the related consolidated statements
of income or operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the fiscal
quarter ended on that date (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise
expressly noted therein, and (ii) fairly present the financial condition of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of
operations for the period covered thereby, subject, in the case of clauses (i)
and (ii), to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments.
(c) Since the date of the Audited Financial Statements, there has been
no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had
or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.03 Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, investigation or
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or any properties or rights of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, by or before any court, arbitrator or administrative or governmental
body which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.04 Outstanding Debt. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has
any Funded Debt outstanding except as permitted by Section 7.05. There exists no
------------
default under the provisions of any instrument evidencing any Debt or of any
agreement relating thereto.
5.05 Title to Properties. The Borrower and each Material Subsidiary
have good and indefeasible title to their respective real properties (other than
properties which they lease) and have good title to all of their other material
properties and assets, including the properties and assets reflected in the most
recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.02(a) or furnished
---------------
pursuant to Section 6.01(b) (other than properties and assets disposed of in the
---------------
ordinary course of business) except where the failure to have such good title
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such
properties are not subject to any Liens of any kind except Liens permitted by
Section 7.02. There is no material default, nor any event that, with notice or
------------
lapse of time or both, would constitute such a material default under any
material lease to which either the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary is a
lessee, lessor, sublessee or sublessor.
5.06 Taxes. The Borrower and each Subsidiary with a tangible net
worth in excess of $500,000 has filed all Federal, state and other income tax
and informational returns which are required to be filed by it. The Borrower and
each such Subsidiary has paid all taxes as shown on its returns and on all
assessments received to the extent that such taxes have become due, except such
assessments as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for
which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP.
5.07 Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters. Neither the execution
nor delivery of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor the making of
Credit Extensions hereunder, nor fulfillment of nor compliance with the terms
and provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will conflict with,
or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a
default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any
Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
pursuant to, their respective articles of incorporation, bylaws or similar
organizational documents, any award of any arbitrator or any agreement,
instrument, order, judgment, decree, and after due investigation and to the
Borrower's best knowledge, any statute, law, rule or regulation to which the
Borrower or any Subsidiary is subject. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary
is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any
instrument evidencing any of their respective Debt, any agreement relating
thereto or any other contract or agreement which restricts or otherwise limits
the incurring of Debt pursuant hereto, except as set forth on Schedule 5.07
-------------
hereto.
5.08 [Intentionally omitted].
5.09 ERISA. No accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in section
302 of ERISA and section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with
respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan). No liability to the PBGC
has been or is expected by the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate to be incurred
with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) by the Borrower, any
Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate which is or would be materially adverse to the
business, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries
or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or presently expects to incur any withdrawal
liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan which
is or would be materially adverse to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as
a whole. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the Credit Extensions hereunder will be exempt from, or will not
involve any transaction which is subject to the prohibitions of, section 406 of
ERISA and will not involve any transaction in connection with which a penalty
could be imposed under section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax could be imposed
pursuant to section 4975 of the Code.
5.10 Government Consent. Neither the nature of the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective businesses or properties, nor any
relationship between the Borrower or a Subsidiary and any other Person, nor any
circumstance in connection with the Credit Extensions hereunder is such as to
require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by,
notice to or filing with any court, administrative or governmental body (other
than routine filings after the date of closing with the SEC and/or state blue
sky authorities) in connection with (a) the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (b) fulfillment of or compliance with
the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
5.11 Investment Company Status. The Borrower is not an "investment
company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or an "investment adviser" within the
meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
5.12 Possession of Franchises, Licenses, Etc. The Borrower and its
Subsidiaries possess all material franchises, certificates, licenses,
development and other permits and other authorizations from governmental
political subdivisions orregulatory authorities and all material patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, easements, rights
of way and other rights (collectively, "Material Rights"), free from burdensome
---------------
restriction, that are necessary in the judgment of the Borrower in any material
respect for the ownership, maintenance and operation of their business,
properties and assets, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is
in violation of any Material Rights except where the violation of such Material
Rights would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
event has occurred which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would
permit, the revocation or termination of any such Material Rights except where
the revocation of such Material Rights would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect, or which materially and adversely affects the rights
of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries thereunder.
5.13 Environmental and Safety Matters. The Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and all of their respective properties and facilities have complied
at all times and in all respects with all Environmental and Safety Laws except
where failure to comply would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.14 Hostile Tender Offers. None of the proceeds of the Credit
Extensions will be used to finance any offer to purchase, or any purchase of,
shares of capital stock of any corporation or equity interests in any other
entity, or securities convertible into or representing the beneficial ownership
of, or rights to acquire, any such shares or equity interests, if such shares,
equity interests, securities or rights are of a class which is publicly traded
on any securities exchange or in any over-the-counter market, other than
purchases for portfolio investment purposes of such shares, equity interests,
securities or rights which, together with any shares, equity interests,
securities or rights then owned, represent less than 5% of the equity interests
or beneficial ownership of such corporation or other entity, and such offer or
purchase has not been duly approved by the board of directors of such
corporation or the equivalent governing body of such other entity.
5.15 Employee Relations. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is
the subject of (a) any material strike, work slowdown or stoppage, union
organizing drive or other similar activity or (b) any material action, suit,
investigation or other proceeding involving alleged employment discrimination,
unfair termination, employee safety or similar matters that in either case would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect nor, to the best
knowledge of the Borrower, is any such event imminent or likely to occur except
those which, individually or in aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.16 Regulations and Legislation. To the best knowledge of a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, no law, regulation, interpretation or
legislation has been enacted or issued or is likely to be enacted or issued,
that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.17 Foreign Assets Control Regulations, Etc. The use of the proceeds
from the Credit Extensions will not violate (a) the Trading with the Enemy Act
or (b) any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States
Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V) or any enabling legislation
or executive order relating thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the
Borrower nor any Subsidiary (a) is or will become a Person described in the
Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign
Assets Control or as described by Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of

knowledge, engages in any dealings or transactions, or is otherwise associated,
with any such Person. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance, in
all material respects, with the USA Patriot Act, to the extent applicable.
5.18 Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any other document,
certificate or statement furnished to the Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of
the Borrower in connection herewith contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein and therein not misleading. There is no fact peculiar to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary which materially adversely affects, or in the future
may (so far as the Borrower can now foresee) materially adversely affect, the
consolidated business, property, assets, prospects or financial condition of the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries and which has not been set forth in this Agreement
or in the other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Agent
and each Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower prior to the date this

the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Agent
shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer
prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of
any such counsel, accountants or experts.
9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan
Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to
the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.
9.06 Resignation of Agent. The Agent may at any time give notice of
its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
consultation with the Borrower, 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 30 days
after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent
meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Agent shall
--------
notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2)
all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as
provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor's
appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not
already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue
-------------
in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 Agent was acting as Agent.
9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C
Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C
Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or other titles listed on
the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as the Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition
of "Default Rate" or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or
Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate;
(d) change Section 2.13 or Section 8.03 in a manner that would alter
------------ ------------
the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of
each Lender; or

Lenders" without the written consent of each Lender;
and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in

Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iv) the Fee Letter may be amended, or
rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the
parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting
Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be
increased or extended, and the principal amount of Loans owing to such Lender
may not be reduced in the absence of a corresponding principal payment, without
the consent of such Lender.

followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms
thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.
The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the
Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities
resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by
or on behalf of the Borrower, except to the extent such losses, costs, expenses

Person. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the
Agent may be recorded by the Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby
consents to such recording.
10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender, the
L/C Issuer or the Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in
exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

disbursements of counsel for the Agent), in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation,

Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof
or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall

made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
-------------------------------
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C Issuer, 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), incurred by any
Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the
Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution
or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto
of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Agent (and
any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the
use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C
Issuer 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) or (iii) 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 the
Borrower, 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) result
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result
from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad
faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its
favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any
------------------------
reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b)
of this Section to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the
L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such
Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender's Applicable Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided 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 Agent (or any such sub-agent) or
the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of
the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in
connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this
subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).
---------------
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent
-------------------------------------
permitted by applicable law, neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall
assert, and each party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or the
Borrower, 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 Loan 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 subsection (b) above shall be liable for
any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or
other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual
damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.
(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not
--------
later than ten Business Days after written demand therefor.
(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the
--------
resignation of the Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the
replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on
behalf of the Borrower is made to the Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or
the Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such
payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent, the L/C Issuer
or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to
the Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount
so recovered from or repaid by the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of
such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders
and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
10.06 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement
--------------------------------
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder

respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, the L/C Issuer
and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or
----------------------
more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including
for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in
Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment
--------
shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
---------------
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the
Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment
to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no
minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A)
of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which
for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if
the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal
outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the
Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be
less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that
-------- -------
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and
concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a
single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee
Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of
determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
(ii) Proportionate Amounts; Assignments Under Alexander &
----------------------------------------------------
Xxxxxxx Credit Agreement. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
------------------------
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights
and obligations under this Agreement and, so long as the Alexander &
Xxxxxxx Credit Agreement is in effect and contains provisions requiring
the ratable assignment of rights and obligations of lenders thereunder
and rights and obligations of Lenders hereunder, the Alexander &
Xxxxxxx Credit Agreement, in each case with respect to the loans or the
commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to
the Swing Line Lender's rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line
Loans;
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any
-----------------
assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of
this Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless
(1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the
time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender,
an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such
assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an affiliate
of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such
Lender;
(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee
to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit
(whether or not then outstanding) if such assignment is to a
Person that is not a Lender, an affiliate of such Lender or an
Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and
(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be
required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a
Lender, an affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to such Lender.
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment
-------------------------
shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided,
--------
however, that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive
-------
such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. Such
processing and recordation fees, together with the costs and expenses
of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with the execution
and delivery of such Assignment and Assumption, shall be paid by either
the assignor or the assignee. The assignee, if it is not a Lender,
shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be
-------------------------
made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or
Subsidiaries.
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment
--------------------------------

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection
(c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and
------------- ---- ---- -----
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon
request, and upon receipt of the original Note from the assignor marked
"Cancelled," the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to
the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall
be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d)
of this Section.
(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
--------
the Borrower, shall maintain at the Agent's Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of the
Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be
--------
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of,
--------------
or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's 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 Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's participations in L/C
Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such
--------
Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Lenders
and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
The Borrower shall not be responsible for any costs and expenses incurred with
the consummation of such participation transaction.
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, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this
-------------
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a
------------- ---- ----
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of
this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided
------------- --------
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a
------------
Lender.
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be
-----------------------------------
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the
------------ ----
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the
------------
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a
---------------
Lender.
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
---------------
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including under its Note, if any) 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.
(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words "execution,"
-----------------------------------
"signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption
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.
(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time First
Hawaiian Bank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b)
above, First Hawaiian Bank may, (i) upon 30 days' notice to the Borrower and the
Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days' notice to the Borrower,
resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the
Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided,
--------
however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall
-------
affect the resignation of First Hawaiian Bank as L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be. Any such appointment of a successor L/C Issuer or
Swing Line Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.06 shall not
-------------
become effective until acceptance of the appointment by the successor L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender. If First Hawaiian Bank resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall
retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder
with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of
its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto
(including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If First
---------------
Hawaiian Bank resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of
the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans
made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon
---------------
the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the
case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to First Hawaiian Bank to
effectively assume the obligations of First Hawaiian Bank with respect to such
Letters of Credit.
10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the
Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of
the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its affiliates and to its and its affiliates' respective partners, directors,
officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (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 requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations 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 Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i)
any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the
Borrower or (h) 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 Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.
For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information
-----------
received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary,
provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any
--------
Subsidiary 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.
Each of the Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a)
the Information may include material non-public information concerning the
Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance
procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will
handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law,
including Federal and state securities laws.
10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective
affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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 L/C Issuer or any such affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of
the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be
contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the
L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated
on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their
respective affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or
their respective affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to
notify the Borrower and the 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.
10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid
under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable law (the "Maximum Rate"). If the Agent or any
------------
Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the
excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds
such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the
interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Agent or a Lender exceeds
the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
(a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects
thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal
parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the
Obligations hereunder.
10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 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
Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except
as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
------------
have been executed by the Agent and when the 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 by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.
10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Agent and
each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Agent or any Lender or
on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit
shall remain outstanding.
10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the
legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby
and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.
10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount
------------
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the
------------
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
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 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
-------------
this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts
such assignment), provided that:
--------
(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section 10.06(b);
----------------
(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and its funded risk participation interests
in any Unreimbursed Amounts under Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to
------------
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
------------
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
------------
payments thereafter; and
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.

10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all
aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related
arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection

Document) are an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Borrower, on
the one hand, and the Agent, the Arranger, and the other Lead Arranger(s), on
the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and
understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
