2. THE
SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY.
2.1. Commitment
to Lend.
2.1.1. Revolving
Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement, each of the Revolving Credit
Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrowers and any Borrower may borrow,
repay, and reborrow from time to time from the Closing Date until the Maturity
Date upon notice by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent given
in
accordance with §2.6, such sums denominated in Dollars as are requested by the
applicable Borrowers up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding (after giving
effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to such Revolving Credit
Lender's Commitment minus such Revolving Credit Lender's Commitment
Percentage of (i) the sum of the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations plus (ii) the outstanding amount of Swing Line
Loans, provided that (i) the sum of the outstanding amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested)
plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations
plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans shall not at any time
exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment at such time and (B) the Borrowing
Base at such time and (ii) the sum of the outstanding amount of the CAI
Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested)
plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations
in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of CAI, plus the
outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans made to CAI shall not at any time exceed
the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment at such time and (B) the Domestic
Borrowing Base at such time. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made
prorata in accordance with each Revolving Credit Lender's
Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan
hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrowers that
the conditions set forth above and in §11 and §12, in the case of the initial
Revolving Credit Loans to be made on the Closing Date, and §12, in the case of
all other Revolving Credit Loans, have been satisfied on the date of such
request. The Revolving Credit Loans advanced on the Closing Date
shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders as Base Rate Loans, subject to
conversion after the Closing Date in accordance with §2.7.
2.2. Commitment
Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders in
accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages a commitment fee (the
"CommitmentFee") calculated at the rate per annum of the
Applicable Margin with respect to the Commitment Fee as in effect from time
to
time on the actual daily amount during each calendar quarter or portion thereof
from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date by which the Total
Commitment minus the sum of the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations exceeds the outstanding amount of Revolving Credit
Loans (excluding Swing Line Loans) during such calendar quarter. The
Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day
of
each calendar quarter for such calendar quarter commencing on the first such
date following the Closing Date, with a final payment on the Maturity Date
or
any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate.
2.3. Reduction
of Total Commitment. The Borrowers
shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business
Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent to reduce by $500,000
or
an integral multiple thereof or to terminate entirely the Total Commitment,
whereupon the Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be reduced
prorata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages
of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be,
terminated. Promptly after receiving any notice of the Borrowers
delivered pursuant to this §2.3, the Administrative Agent will notify the
Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance thereof. Upon the effective
date of any such reduction or termination, the applicable Borrower shall pay
to
the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit
Lenders the full amount of any Commitment Fee then accrued on the amount of
the
reduction. No reduction or termination of the Commitments may be
reinstated. If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Total
Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds
the amount of the Total Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit or Swingline
Sublimit, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such
excess.
28
2.4. Evidence
of Debt.(1) The Revolving
Credit Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts
or
records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the
ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
error of the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made by the Lenders to each
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 each 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
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of
the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative
Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a promissory note of the Borrowers in substantially the
form of ExhibitB hereto (each a "Revolving
CreditNote"), which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach
schedules to its Revolving Credit Note(s) and endorse thereon the date, amount,
interest rate and maturity of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and payments
with respect thereto.
(b) In
addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a) above, each
Lender and the Administrative 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
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect
of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error.
2.5. Interest. Except
as otherwise provided in §5.10,
(a) Each
Revolving Credit Loan which is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the
period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day
of
the Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the
Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Base Rate Loans as in
effect from time to time; provided, however, in the event that the
interest rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans is less than the
Eurodollar Rate then applicable for an Interest Period of one month plus
the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect at such
time, each Revolving Credit Loan which is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest
at the rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate then applicable for an
Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin with respect to
Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect at such time.
29
(b) Each
Revolving Credit Loan which is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest for
the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last
day
of the Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to
the
Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as in effect from time to
time.
(c) Each
Swing Line Loan shall bear interest from the applicable Drawdown Date thereof
at
the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin with
respect to Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time; provided,
however, that in the event the interest rate per annum applicable
to
Swing Line Loans is less than the Eurodollar Rate then applicable for an
Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin with respect to
Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect at such time, each Swing Line Loan shall bear
interest at the rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate then applicable
for
an Interest Period of one month plus the Applicable Margin with respect
to Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect at such time.
Each
Borrower promises to pay interest on each Revolving Credit Loan made to it
and
each Swing Line Loan made to it in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with
respect thereto.
2.6. Requests
for Revolving Credit Loans. Each Borrower
shall give to the Administrative Agent written notice in the form of
ExhibitC hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in a writing in
the form of ExhibitC hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan
requested hereunder (a "Loan Request") no less than (a) two (2) Business
Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any Base Rate Loan and (b) four
(4)
Eurodollar Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any Eurodollar
Rate Loan. Each such notice shall specify (i) the principal amount of
the Revolving Credit Loan requested, (ii) the proposed Drawdown Date of such
Revolving Credit Loan, (iii) the Interest Period for such Revolving Credit
Loan
and (iv) the Type of such Revolving Credit Loan. Promptly upon
receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the
Lenders thereof. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding
on the applicable Borrower and shall obligate such Borrower to accept the
Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown
Date. Each Loan Request relating to a Base Rate Loan shall be in a
minimum aggregate amount of $500,000 and each Loan Request relating to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of
$1,000,000.
2.7. Conversion
Options.
2.7.1. Conversion
to Different Type of Loan. The
applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any outstanding
Revolving Credit Loan to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type,
provided that (a) with respect to any such conversion of a Eurodollar
Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, such Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent
at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such election; (b)
with
respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan,
such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least four (4) Eurodollar
Business Days prior written notice of such election; (c) with respect to any
such conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, such conversion
shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto
and (d) no Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan
when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. On the date on which such conversion is being made each
Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment
Percentage, as the case may be, of such Revolving Credit Loans to its Domestic
Lending Office or its Eurodollar Lending Office, as the case may
be. All or any part of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of any Type
may be converted into a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type as provided
herein, provided that any partial conversion shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of at least $500,000, in the case of conversion to Base Rate
Loans, and $1,000,000 in the case of conversion to Eurodollar Rate
Loans. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a
Revolving Credit Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by such
Borrower.
30
2.7.2. Continuation
of Type of Loan. A Revolving Credit
Loan of any Type may be continued as a Revolving Credit Loan of the same Type
upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance
by
the applicable Borrower with the notice provisions contained in §2.7.1;
provided that no Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued as such when any
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be
automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the first
Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default
or
Event of Default of which officers of the Administrative Agent active upon
the
Borrowers’ account have actual knowledge. In the event that the
applicable Borrower fails to provide any such notice with respect to the
continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan as such, then such Eurodollar Rate
Loan
shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the
first Interest Period relating thereto. The Administrative Agent
shall notify the Lenders promptly when any such automatic conversion
contemplated by this §2.7 is scheduled to occur.
2.7.3. Eurodollar
Rate Loans. Any conversion to or from
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such
elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount
of all Eurodollar Rate Loans having the same Interest Period shall not be less
than $1,000,000. No more than ten (10) Eurodollar Rate Loans having
different Interest Periods may be outstanding at any time.
2.8. Funds
for Revolving Credit Loans.
2.8.1. Funding
Procedures. Not later than 1:00 p.m.
(Boston time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans,
each
of the Lenders will make available to the Administrative Agent, at the
Administrative Agent's Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of
such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Revolving
Credit Loans. Upon receipt from each Lender of such amount, and upon
receipt of the documents required by §§11 and 12 and the satisfaction of the
other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Administrative
Agent will make available to the Borrowers the aggregate amount of such
Revolving Credit Loans made available to the Administrative Agent by the
Lenders.
2.8.2. Advances
by Administrative Agent. ii) The
Administrative Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any Lender prior
to
a Drawdown Date, assume that such Lender has made available to the
Administrative Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such Lender's
Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made on such Drawdown
Date, and the Administrative Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of
the applicable Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent,
then
the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in
immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case
of
a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made
by
the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If
the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative
Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the
Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Revolving Credit Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount
so
paid shall constitute such Lender’s share of such Revolving Credit
Loan. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any
claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make
such payment to the Administrative Agent.
31
(b) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior
to
the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on
such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the relevant Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the
amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made
such payment, then each of the relevant Lenders severally agrees to repay to
the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day
from
and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal
Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(c) A
notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect
to
any amount owing under §§2.8.2(a) and (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.
2.8.3. Obligations
of Lenders Several. The obligations of
the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations
in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to §14.7
are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any
Revolving Credit Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment
under §14.7 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 Revolving Credit
Loans, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under
§14.7.
2.9. Change
in Borrowing Base and Domestic Borrowing
Base. The Borrowing Base and the
Domestic Borrowing Base shall be calculated (based on the application of the
formula contained in the definition of “Borrowing Base” or “Domestic Borrowing
Base”, as applicable) by the Administrative Agent upon receipt of each Loan
Request and, in any case, no less frequently than monthly (and at such other
intervals as may be specified pursuant to §8.4(f)) by reference to the Borrowing
Base Report most recently delivered to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
and such other information obtained by, or provided to, the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall give to the Borrowers written
notice of the amount of the Borrowing Base and/or the Domestic Borrowing Base
determined by the Administrative Agent as a result of such calculation to the
extent the Administrative Agent’s calculation thereof differs from that of the
Borrowers. Prior to the time any such notice becomes effective, the
Borrowing Base and the Domestic Borrowing Base shall be computed as it would
have been computed in the absence of such notice.
32
2.10. Swing
Line Loans.
2.10.1. 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 Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this §2.10, to
make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to any Borrower from
time to time on any Business Day from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date
in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of
the
Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans of
the
Revolving Credit Lender acting as the Swing Line Lender, when aggregated with
such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of Revolving
Credit Loans plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the sum of the
Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, may exceed
the
amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after
giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (a) the sum of the outstanding amount
of
the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans
(after giving effect to all amounts requested) shall not at any time exceed
the
lesser of (A) the Total Commitment at such time and (B) the Borrowing Base
at
such time, (b) the sum of the outstanding amount of the CAI Revolving Credit
Loans, plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement
Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of CAI,
plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans made to CAI (after giving
effect to all amounts requested) shall not at any time exceed the lesser of
(A)
the Total Commitment at such time and (B) the Domestic Borrowing Base at such
time and (c) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans
of
any Lender, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding
amount of the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations,
plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of all
Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided,
further, that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing
Line
Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the
foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrowers may borrow under this §2.10, prepay under §3.3, and reborrow under
this §2.10. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate
Loan. 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 Commitment Percentage
times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. Each Borrower hereby
promises to repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date
ten (10) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity
Date.
2.10.2. Borrowing
Procedure. Each Swing Line Borrowing
shall be made upon any Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender
and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice
must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not
later
than 1:00 p.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 by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and
the
Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such
Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any
telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with
the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent
has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender
will notify the Administrative 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 Administrative 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
§2.10.1, or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in §§11
and 12 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 such Borrower.
33
2.10.3. Refinancing
of Swing Line Loans. iii)
The Swing Line Lender at
any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the
applicable Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender
to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Revolving
Credit Loan which is a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then
outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written
request shall be deemed to be a Loan Request for purposes hereof) and in
accordance with the requirements of §§2.1 and 2.6, 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 Total Commitments and the conditions
set forth in §12. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish to the
applicable Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Request promptly after
delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving
Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the
amount specified in such Loan Request available to the Administrative Agent
in
immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in
such Loan Request, whereupon, subject to §2.10.3(b), each Revolving Credit
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate
Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(b) If
for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving
Credit Loan in accordance with §2.10.3(a), the request for Base Rate Loan
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 Revolving Credit Lenders
fund
its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line
Lender pursuant to §2.10.3(a) shall be deemed payment in respect of such
participation.
34
(c)
If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid
by
such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
§2.10.3 by the time specified in §2.10.3(a), the Swing Line Lender shall be
entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative 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 Revolving Credit Lender pays
such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan or funded participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the
Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c)
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each
Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to
purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this
§2.10.3 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 Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Swing Line
Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation
to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this §2.10.3 is subject to the
conditions set forth in §12. No such funding of risk participations
shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay
Swing
Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
2.10.4. Repayment
of Participations. iv)
At any time after any
Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit
Lender its Commitment Percentage of such payment in the same funds as those
received by the Swing Line Lender.
(b) 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 in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender
in
its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender
its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative 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
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line
Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this
clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination
of this Agreement.
35
2.10.5. Interest
for Account of Swing Line Lender. The
Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing each Borrower for interest
on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its
Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this §2.10 to refinance such
Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of
such Commitment Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line
Lender.
2.10.6. Payments
Directly to Swing Line Lender. Each
Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the
Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
2.11. Increase
in the Total Commitment.
2.11.1. Requests
for Increase. Provided there exists no
Default or Event of Default either before or immediately after giving effect
to
the increase provided for in this §2.11, and subject to the terms hereof, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders),
the
Borrowers may from time to time request an increase in the Total Commitment
by
an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $50,000,000; provided
that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000. The Borrowers may, at its option, request such increase
from any Revolving Credit Lenders or from Additional Lenders. At the
time of sending such notice, the Borrowers (in consultation with the
Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each relevant
Revolving Credit Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be
less
than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to such
Revolving Credit Lender).
2.11.2. Lender
Election to Increase. Any Revolving
Credit Lender which the Borrowers request to provide such increase shall notify
the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to
increase its Commitment and, if so, the amount by which such Revolving Credit
Lender is willing to increase its Commitment. Any relevant Revolving
Credit Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have
declined to increase its Commitment. No Revolving Credit Lender shall
have any obligations to increase its Commitment.
2.11.3. Notification
by Administrative Agent; Additional
Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrowers and each relevant Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable
Revolving Credit Lenders’ responses to each request made
hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and
subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the
Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the
Borrowers may, at their option, also invite additional Eligible Assignees (for
the purposes of this §2.11, the “Additional Lenders”) to become Revolving
Credit Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
2.11.4. Effective
Date and Allocations. If the Total
Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date (the “Increase
Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Revolving
Credit Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase
Effective Date.
36
2.11.5. Conditions
to Effectiveness of Increase. As a
condition precedent to such increase, the Borrowers shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the date
of
effectiveness of such increase (the “Increase Effective Date”) (in
sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such
Loan
Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party
approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of each Borrower,
certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the
representations and warranties contained in §7 and the other Loan Documents are
true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent
that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date,
in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except
that
for purposes of this §2.11, the representations and warranties contained in
§7.4.2 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished to the
Lenders, (B) no Default or Event of Default exists, (C) the sum of the
outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all
amounts requested on the Increase Effective Date) plus the Maximum
Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the
outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans does not exceed the lesser of (i) the
Total Commitment at such time and (ii) the Borrowing Base at such time and
(D)
the sum of the outstanding amount of the CAI Revolving Credit Loans (after
giving effect to all amounts requested) plus the Maximum Drawing Amount
and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued
for the account of CAI, plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans
made to CAI do not exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment at such time
and (B) the Domestic Borrowing Base at such time. The applicable
Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Increase
Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to §5.9) to the
extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with
any
revised Commitment Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the
Commitments under this Section.
3. REPAYMENT
OF THE LOANS.
3.1. Maturity. Each
of the Borrowers promises to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become
absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, all of its respective Revolving
Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans outstanding on such date, together with any
and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other
Obligations.
3.2. Mandatory
Repayments of Revolving Credit
Loans. If at any time (a) the sum of
the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the
Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the
outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans exceeds the lesser of (i) the Total
Commitment at such time and (ii) the Borrowing Base at such time or (b) the
sum
of the outstanding amount of the CAI Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect
to all amounts requested) plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account
of CAI, plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans made to CAI
exceeds the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment at such time and (B) the Domestic
Borrowing Base at such time, then, in any case, the applicable Borrower(s) shall
immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Administrative Agent for the
respective accounts of the Lenders for application: first, to
any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations; second, to the Swing Line Loans;
third, to the Revolving Credit Loans; and fourth, to provide to
the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral for Reimbursement Obligations as
contemplated by §4.2(b) and (c). Each payment of any Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations or prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans shall be
allocated among the applicable Lenders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable,
to each Reimbursement Obligation or (as the case may be) the respective unpaid
principal amount of each applicable Lender's Revolving Credit Loan, with
adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior payments or
repayments not exactly in proportion.
37
3.3. Optional
Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line
Loans. (1) Each
of the Borrowers shall have the right, at its election, to repay the outstanding
amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without
penalty or premium, provided that any full or partial prepayment of the
outstanding amount of any Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 may be
made only on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto unless
breakage costs incurred by the relevant Lenders in connection therewith are
paid
by the Borrowers in accordance with §5.9. The Borrowers shall give
the Administrative Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Boston time, at least two
(2) Business Days’ prior written notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to
this §3.3 of Base Rate Loans, and four (4) Eurodollar Business Days’ prior
written notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this §3.3 of Eurodollar
Rate Loans, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of relevant
Revolving Credit Loans, the principal amount to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar
Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Periods of such Revolving Credit
Loans. Each such partial prepayment of the applicable Revolving
Credit Loans shall be in a principal amount of at least $200,000, shall be
accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to
the
date of prepayment and shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the
applicable Borrowers, first, to the principal of Base Rate Loans and
then to the principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the Administrative
Agent’s option. Each partial prepayment shall be allocated among the
applicable Lenders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective
unpaid principal amount of each Lender's applicable Revolving Credit Loans,
with
adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior repayments not
exactly in proportion.
(b) Each
of the Borrowers may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to
the
Administrative 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
Administrative 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
$100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by any Borrower, such Borrower
shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice
shall
be due and payable on the date specified therein.
4. LETTERS
OF CREDIT.
4.1. Letter
of Credit Commitments.
4.1.1. Commitment
to Issue Letters of Credit. v) Subject
to the
terms and conditions hereof, upon the execution and delivery by any Borrower
of
a letter of credit application on the L/C Issuer’s customary form (a “Letter
of Credit Application”), the L/C Issuer on behalf of the Revolving Credit
Lenders and in reliance upon the agreement of the Revolving Credit Lenders
set
forth in this §4 and upon the representations and warranties of the Borrowers
contained herein, agrees, in its individual capacity, to issue, extend and
renew
for the account of CAI, CAI Barbados or any of CAI’s other Subsidiaries one or
more standby letters of credit (individually, a "Letter of Credit"), in
such form as may be requested from time to time by the applicable Borrower
(who,
in the case of Letters of Credit to be issued for the account of a Subsidiary
of
CAI (other than CAI Barbados) shall be CAI), and agreed to by the L/C Issuer;
provided, however, that, after giving effect to such request, (i)

complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding
sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, any Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be

obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit issued for the account
of
such Borrower or such Subsidiary that have expired or that have been drawn
upon
and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to
have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall

expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter
of
Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry
date.
(c) The
L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
if:
(i) any
order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall
by
its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter
of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit,
or
request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C
Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any
unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date hereof
and which the L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;
39
(ii)

the
L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;
(iii) such
Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than
Dollars;
(iv) such
Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the
stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or
(v) a
default of any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under §4.1.4 exists
or any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Delinquent Lender hereunder,
unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with such
Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such
Lender.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.
(f)
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 Administrative
Agent in §14 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 “Administrative Agent” as used in §14 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.
4.1.2. Procedures
for the Issuance and Amendment of Letters of
Credit. vi) Each
Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
request of the applicable Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy
to
the Administrative Agent) in the form of Letter of Credit Application,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such
Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the
L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least
two
Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative 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 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 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 require. Additionally, the applicable
Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative 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
Administrative Agent may require.
40
(b) Promptly
after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm
with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application
from such Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative
Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written
notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent, such Borrower or any
Guarantor, 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 §§11 or 12 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 such Borrower or such 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 Commitment Percentage
times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(c) 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 applicable Borrower and the
Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or
amendment.
4.1.3. Applicability
of the ISP and Uniform Customs. Unless
otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the applicable Borrower when
a
Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an
Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the “International Standby
Practices 1998” (ISP) published by the Institute of International Banking Law
& Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of
issuance) 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.
4.1.4. Reimbursement
Obligations of Lenders. Each Revolving
Credit Lender severally agrees that it shall be absolutely and unconditionally
liable, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
or
any other condition precedent or circumstance whatsoever, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving
Credit Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever or (B) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, to the extent of
such
Revolving Credit Lender's Commitment Percentage, to reimburse the L/C Issuer
through the Administrative Agent on demand for the amount of each draft paid
by
the L/C Issuer under each Letter of Credit to the extent that such amount is
not
reimbursed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to §4.2 (such agreement for a
Lender being called herein the "Letter of Credit Participation" of such
Lender).
41
4.1.5. Participations
of Lenders. Each such payment made by a
Revolving Credit Lender shall be treated as the purchase by such Lender of
a
participating interest in the applicable Borrower's Reimbursement Obligation
under §4.2 in an amount equal to such payment. Each Revolving Credit
Lender shall share in accordance with its participating interest in any interest
which accrues pursuant to §4.2 and in any applicable security for such
Reimbursement Obligation.
4.1.6. Auto-Extension
Letters of Credit. If any 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 (i) 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 one
(1)
Business Day before the date (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each
such twelve-month period as agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is
issued and (ii) any extension of a Auto-Extension Letter of Credit shall not
extend the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to a date later than the Letter
of Credit Expiration Date. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C
Issuer, the applicable 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 §4.1.1(b) or (c) 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 Administrative
Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or
(2)
from the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the applicable Borrower or any
Guarantor that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in §12 is not
then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit
such extension.
4.2. Reimbursement
Obligation of the Borrowers. In order
to induce the L/C Issuer to issue, extend and renew each Letter of Credit and
the Revolving Credit Lenders to participate therein, the applicable Borrower
hereby agrees to reimburse or pay to the L/C Issuer, for the account of the
L/C
Issuer or (as the case may be) the Revolving Credit Lenders, with respect to
each Letter of Credit issued, extended or amended by the L/C Issuer for the
account of such Borrower or its Subsidiary hereunder,
(a) except
as otherwise expressly provided in §4.2(b) and (c), not later than 11:00 a.m.
(Boston time) on each date that any draft presented under such Letter of Credit
is honored (the “Honor Date”) by the L/C Issuer, or the L/C Issuer
otherwise makes a payment with respect thereto, (i) the amount paid by the
L/C
Issuer under or with respect to such Letter of Credit, and (ii) the amount
of
any taxes, fees, charges or other costs and expenses whatsoever incurred by
the
L/C Issuer or any Lender in connection with any payment made by the L/C Issuer
or any Lender under, or with respect to, such Letter of Credit,
42
(b) upon
the reduction (but not termination) of the Total Commitment to an amount less
than the Maximum Drawing Amount, an amount equal to such difference, which
amount shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
and the L/C Issuer as Cash Collateral for all Reimbursement Obligations,
and
(c) upon
the termination of the Total Commitment, or the acceleration of the
Reimbursement Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit in accordance
with §13, an amount equal to the then Maximum Drawing Amount on all Letters of
Credit, which amount shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer as Cash Collateral for all Reimbursement
Obligations.
Each
such
payment shall be made to the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent's Office
in
immediately available funds. Interest on any and all amounts
remaining unpaid by the applicable Borrower under this §4.2 at any time from the
date such amounts become due and payable (whether as stated in this §4.2, by
acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full (whether before or after
judgment) shall be payable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer, on demand at the rate specified in §5.10 for overdue
principal on the Revolving Credit Loans.
4.3. Letter
of Credit Payments. (1) If
any
draft shall be presented or other demand for payment shall be made under any
Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and
the
applicable Borrower of the date and amount of the draft presented or demand
for
payment and of the date and time when it expects to pay such draft or honor
such
demand for payment. If such Borrower fails to reimburse the L/C
Issuer as provided in §4.2 on or before the date that such draft is paid or
other payment is made by the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may at any
time thereafter notify the Lenders of the amount of any such Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligation and the amount of each Lender’s Commitment Percentage
thereof. In such event, such Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Base Rate Loan to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal
to the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, without regard to the minimum and
multiples specified in §2.6 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but
subject to the other conditions set forth in §§2.1, 2.6 and 12 (other than the
delivery of a Loan Request). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or
the Administrative Agent pursuant to this §4.3 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. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice
pursuant to §4.3 make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount
equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the
Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of §4.3(b), each
Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have
made a Base Rate Loan to such Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C
Issuer.
(b) With
respect to any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation that is not fully refinanced
by
Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in §12 cannot be satisfied or
for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred
from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unpaid Reimbursement
Obligation that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and
payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate
set forth in §5.10.1. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant
to §4.3(a) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C
Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction
of its participation obligation under this §4.
43
(c) Until
each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Commitment Percentage of the Revolving
Credit Loans or participations as set forth in this §4.3 to reimburse the L/C
Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect
of
such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the
account of the L/C Issuer.
(d) If
any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative 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 §4.3 by the time specified in §4.3,
the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative 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 Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C
Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer
submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with
respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(e) At
any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit
and
has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in
respect of such payment in accordance with §4.3, if the Administrative 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 applicable
Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto
by
the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such
Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case
of
interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C
Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the
Administrative Agent. If any payment received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to §4.3 is required to be
returned in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its
discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the L/C Issuer its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand
of
the Administrative 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.
44
4.4. Obligations
Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations
under this §4 shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all
circumstances and irrespective of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff, counterclaim or
defense to payment which any Borrower may have or have had against the L/C
Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter
of
Credit. Each Borrower further agrees with the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the L/C Issuer, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers’
Reimbursement Obligations under §4.2 shall not be affected by, among other
things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon,
even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the applicable
Borrower, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution
or other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims
or
defenses whatsoever of any Borrower against the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit or any such transferee. The L/C Issuer, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption
or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. Each Borrower
agrees that any action taken or omitted by the L/C Issuer, the Administrative
Agent or any Lender under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the
related drafts and documents, if done in good faith and in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the applicable Borrower
and shall not result in any liability on the part of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Borrower. Each 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 applicable Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower
will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. Each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries 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.
4.5. Role
of Issuer. Each Revolving Credit Lender
and each 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 Administrative 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. Each
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
any 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 Administrative 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 §4.4;
provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and
the
L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the
extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages
suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove 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.
45
4.6. Letter
of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of each Letter of Credit the
following fees (each, a "Letter of Credit Fee") computed for the period
from and including the date of issuance, extension or amendment of such Letter
of Credit to the expiry date of such Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable
Margin per annum with respect to Letter of Credit Fees of the maximum amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, which shall be for the
accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages. Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter (or
portion thereof) for the immediately preceding calendar quarter and on the
Maturity Date. In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay a fronting
fee at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter of the maximum amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, which shall be for the
account of the L/C Issuer and which shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the
first Business Day of each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) for the
immediately preceding calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date. In
respect of each Letter of Credit, each Borrower shall also pay to the L/C Issuer
for the L/C Issuer's own account, at such other time or times as such charges
are customarily made by the L/C Issuer, the L/C Issuer's customary issuance,
amendment, negotiation or document examination and other administrative fees
as
in effect from time to time. Such customary fees and standard costs
and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
4.7. Cash
Collateral. Upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial
drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in
an
L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any
L/C
Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, each Borrower shall, in each
case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Maximum Drawing Amount and any
Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for
the
account of such Borrower or its Subsidiary. Sections 3.2, 4.2(b),
4.2(c) and 13.1 set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash
Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this §4.7 and §§3.2, 4.2(b),
4.2(c) and 13.1, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or
deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and
the
Lenders, as collateral for the Maximum Drawing Amount and any Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to
documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and
the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the
Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding
meanings. Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all
such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the
foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked,
non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.
4.8. 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.
46
4.9. 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 of CAI (other than CAI
Barbados), CAI shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for
any
and all drawings under such Letter of Credit and such Letters of credit shall
be
deemed Letters of Credit issued for the account of CAI for the purposes of
this
Agreement. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of
Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of
such
Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from
the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
4.10. Replacement
of L/C Issuer. The Borrowers may from time to
time, upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days' notice from the Borrowers
to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the
Administrative Agent), replace a previously designated L/C Issuer by designating
another Lender as L/C Issuer (upon obtaining such Revolving Credit Lender's
prior written consent thereto and, provided that there are no outstanding
Letters of Credit issued by, or obligations owing to, the L/C Issuer being so
replaced). Any such designation shall be subject to the approval of
the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers
and the Lenders of any designation and approval of a replacement L/C
Issuer. Upon any such approval of an L/C Issuer by the Administrative
Agent and delivery by such replacement L/C Issuer to the Administrative Agent
of
contact information and such other information regarding such replacement L/C
Issuer as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, such Lender shall
be
the “L/C Issuer” issuer for the purposes hereof, and references to the L/C
Issuers shall mean and include such Lender in its capacity as L/C
Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, if any L/C Issuer is replaced by
the Borrower with another L/C Issuer, the L/C Issuer so replaced 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
replacement as L/C Issuer and all Letters of Credit and Reimbursement
Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders
to
make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unpaid Reimbursement
Obligations pursuant to this §4).
5. CERTAIN
GENERAL PROVISIONS.
5.1. Fees. Each
Borrower agrees to pay the fees in the amounts and on the terms and conditions
set forth in the Fee Letter.
5.2. Funds
for Payments.
5.2.1. Payments
to Administrative Agent. All payments
of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations, fees and any other amounts
due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made on the
due
date thereof to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the respective accounts
of the Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing
Line
Lender, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent's Office or at such
other place that the Administrative Agent may from time to time designate,
in
each case at or about 11:00 a.m. (Boston, Massachusetts, time or other local
time at the place of payment) and in immediately available funds.
5.2.2. No
Offset, etc. All payments by any
Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made
without recoupment, setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without
deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions,
withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now
or
hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision
thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless such Borrower is compelled
by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation
is imposed upon any Borrower with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder
or under any of the other Loan Documents, such Borrower will pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be)
the
Administrative Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable
hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars
as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to
receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Administrative Agent would
have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the
Borrowers. Each Borrower will deliver promptly to the Administrative
Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges
deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by such Borrower hereunder
or under such other Loan Document. Each Lender claiming any
additional amounts payable under this §5.2.2 agrees to use reasonable efforts
(consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to execute and deliver
all
such documents and instruments as the Borrowers shall reasonably request or
to
change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the execution of
such documents or the making of such a change would avoid the need for or
substantially reduce the amount of additional amounts which would thereafter
accrue and would not, in the sole and absolute determination of such Lender,
be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender, which determination by such Lender
shall be conclusive. No Borrower shall be liable for taxes paid by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender that are based upon the Administrative
Agent’s or such Lender’s net income or for any withholdings required to be made
pursuant to applicable law that are credited against taxes based on the
Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s net income.
47
5.2.3. Non-U.S.
Lenders. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent that
is not a U.S. Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code for federal
income tax purposes (a "Non-U.S.Lender") hereby agrees that, if
and to the extent it is legally able to do so, it shall, prior to the date
of
the first payment by the Borrowers hereunder to be made to such Lender or the
Administrative Agent or for such Lender's or the Administrative Agent's account,
deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, such
certificates, documents or other evidence, as and when required by the Code
or
Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including (a) in the case of
a
Non-U.S. Lender that is a "bank" for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
or
Form W-8ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by
Treasury Regulations, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto,
properly completed and duly executed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent
establishing that with respect to payments of principal, interest or fees
hereunder it is (i) not subject to United States federal withholding tax under
the Code because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by
such
Lender or Administrative Agent of a trade or business in the United States
or
(ii) totally exempt or partially exempt from United States federal withholding
tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty and (b) in the case of a
Non-U.S. Lender that is not a "bank" for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the
Code, a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers and to the effect that (i) such Non-U.S.
Lender is not a "bank" for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is
not
subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction,
and has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any tax, securities law
or
other filing or submission made to any governmental authority, any application
made to a rating agency or qualification for any exemption from any tax,
securities law or other legal requirements, (ii) is not a ten (10) percent
shareholder for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and (iii) is not
a
controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person for
purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, together with a properly completed
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable (or successor
forms). Each Lender or the Administrative Agent agrees
that it shall, promptly upon a change of its lending office or the selection
of
any additional lending office, to the extent the forms previously delivered
by
it pursuant to this section are no longer effective, and promptly upon the
Borrowers' or the Administrative Agent's reasonable request after the occurrence
of any other event (including the passage of time) requiring the delivery of
a
Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8 or W-9 in addition to or in replacement
of
the forms previously delivered, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent it is properly entitled to do so,
a
properly completed and executed Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8 or W-9,
as
applicable (or any successor forms thereto).
48
5.3. Computations. All
computations of interest for Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans when the
Base
Rate is determined by Bank of America’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 (which results in more
fees
or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a
365-day year). Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the
term "InterestPeriod" with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans,
whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes
due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall
be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during
such extension. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans
as reflected on the Revolving Credit Note Records from time to time shall be
considered correct and binding on the Borrowers unless within five (5) Business
Days after receipt of any notice by the Administrative Agent or any of the
Lenders of such outstanding amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender
shall notify the Borrowers to the contrary.
5.4. Inability
to Determine Eurodollar Rate. In the
event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any
Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine or
be
notified by the Required Lenders that (a) adequate and reasonable methods do
not
exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate that would otherwise determine the
rate of interest to be applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan during any
Interest Period or (b) the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for
such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the
Lenders of making or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Loans during such period,
the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination
(which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders) to
the
Borrowers and the Lenders. In such event (i) any Loan Request or
Conversion Request with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically
withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans, (ii) each
Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current
Interest Period relating thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and (iii) the
obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended
until the Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise
to
such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall so
notify the Borrowers and the Lenders.
5.5. Illegality. Notwithstanding
any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty
or
directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful
for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall
forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrowers and the other
Lenders and thereupon (a) the commitment of such Lender to make Eurodollar
Rate
Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be
suspended and (b) such Lender's Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding as
Eurodollar Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate
Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar
Rate
Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. Each
Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Lender, upon demand by such Lender, any additional amounts necessary
to
compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in making any
conversion in accordance with this §5.5, including any interest or fees payable
by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain
its Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder.
49
5.6. Additional
Costs, etc. If any Change in Law, which
expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder
and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or
other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the
interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at
any
time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender
or the Administrative Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or
other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:
(a) subject
any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge,
fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Credit
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, such Lender's
Commitment or the Revolving Credit Loans (other than taxes based upon or
measured by the income or profits of such Lender or the Administrative Agent
or
withholdings in connection with such taxes), or
(b) materially
change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits)
of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on any Revolving
Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans or any other amounts payable to any Lender or
the
Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, or
(c) impose
or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided
for elsewhere in this Credit Agreement) any special deposit, reserve (other
than
reserves included within the definition of Eurocurrency Reserve Rate),
assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether
or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for
the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or commitments
of
an office of any Lender, or
(d) impose
on any Lender or the Administrative Agent any other conditions or requirements
with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters
of
Credit, the Swing Line Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans, such Lender's
Commitment, or any class of loans, letters of credit or commitments of which
any
of the Revolving Credit Loans or such Lender's Commitment forms a part, and
the
result of any of the foregoing is
50
(i) to
increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending
or maintaining any of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans or such
Lender's Commitment or any Letter of Credit, or
(ii) to
reduce the amount of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligation or other
amount payable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder on account
of such Lender's Commitment, any Letter of Credit, any of the Swing Line Loans
or any of the Revolving Credit Loans, or
(iii) to
require such Lender or the Administrative Agent to make any payment or to forego
any interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum payable hereunder, the
amount of which payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or
other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable
or deemed received by such Lender or the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers
hereunder,
then,
and
in each such case, the applicable Borrower will, upon demand made by such Lender
or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent at any time and from time
to
time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or
the
Administrative Agent such additional amounts as will be sufficient to compensate
such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such additional cost, reduction,
payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other
sum.
5.7. Capital
Adequacy. If after the date hereof any
Lender or the Administrative Agent 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 or capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the
return on such Lender's or the Administrative Agent's commitment with respect
to
any Revolving Credit Loans, Letters of Credit or any other amounts hereunder
to
a level below that which such Lender or the Administrative Agent could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's
or
the Administrative Agent's then existing policies with respect to capital
adequacy and assuming full utilization of such entity's capital) by any amount
deemed by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent to be
material, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrowers
of such fact. To the extent that the amount of such reduction in the
return on capital is not reflected in the Base Rate, the Borrowers and such
Lender shall thereafter attempt to negotiate in good faith, within thirty (30)
days of the day on which the Borrowers receive such notice, an adjustment
payable hereunder that will adequately compensate such Lender in light of these
circumstances. If the Borrowers and such Lender are unable to agree
to such adjustment within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Borrowers
receive such notice, then commencing on the date of such notice (but not earlier
than the effective date of any such increased capital requirement), the fees
payable hereunder shall increase by an amount that will, in such Lender's
reasonable determination, provide adequate compensation. Each Lender
shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on
an
equitable basis.
5.8. Certificate. A
certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to §5.6 or 5.7
and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender
or the Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower, shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error, that such amounts are due and owing.
51
5.9. Indemnity. Each
Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from
and against any loss, cost or expense (including loss of anticipated profits)
that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the
Borrowers in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any
Eurodollar Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss
or
expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to banks of funds
obtained by it in order to maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans, (b) default
by
the Borrowers in making a borrowing or conversion after the Borrowers have
given
(or is deemed to have given) a Loan Request or a Conversion Request relating
thereto in accordance with §2.6 or §2.7 or (c) the making of any payment of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan or the making of any conversion of any such Revolving
Credit Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the
applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees
payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain
any such Revolving Credit Loans.
5.10.
Interest After Default.
5.10.1. Overdue
Amounts. Overdue principal and (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) interest on the Revolving Credit Loans,
the
Swing Line Loans and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under any
of
the other Loan Documents shall bear interest from the due date compounded
monthly and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%)
above the rate of interest then applicable thereto (or, if no rate of interest
is then applicable thereto, the Base Rate) until such amount shall be paid
in
full (after as well as before judgment). An amount shall be
considered overdue hereunder if not paid on the date fixed for payment herein
or
any accelerated maturity thereof, regardless of any grace periods which may
be
permitted under §13.1 (a) or (b) hereof.
5.10.2. Amounts
Not Overdue. During the continuance of
an Event of Default the principal of the Revolving Credit Loans
shall, until such Event of Default has been cured or remedied or such Event
of
Default has been waived by the Required Lenders pursuant to §16.12, bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) two percent (2%) above
the rate of interest otherwise applicable to such Revolving Credit
Loans, as the case may be, pursuant to §2.5 or (b) the rate of interest
applicable to overdue principal pursuant to §5.10.1.
5.11. Limitation
on Certain Obligations of CAI
Barbados. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, (a) no inference shall be drawn from the provisions hereof
that CAI Barbados guaranties any of the obligations or the performance of the
covenants of CAI hereunder, and (b) CAI Barbados (i) shall only be liable for
its pro rata share (based upon the proportion that the assets of CAI
Barbados included in the Borrowing Base bears to the Borrowing Base) of the
Commitment Fee, any other fees (other than the fees referred to in clause (ii)
below) or any expenses and indemnification obligations (other than
indemnification obligations referred to in clause (iii) below) payable hereunder
or the other Loan Documents, (ii) shall only be liable for Letter of Credit
Fees
and other fees under §4.6 which arise from Letters of Credit issued, extended or
renewed for the account of CAI Barbados, (iii) shall only be liable for
indemnification costs under §5.9 which arise from Revolving Credit Loans made to
CAI Barbados and (iv) shall have no liability for Revolving Credit Loans made
to
CAI under this Agreement.

6. COLLATERAL
SECURITY AND GUARANTIES.
6.1. Security
of Borrowers and Guarantors. The
Obligations shall be secured by a perfected first priority security interest
(subject only to Permitted Liens that are entitled to priority under applicable
law) in all of the assets of the Borrowers and the Guarantors constituting
Collateral (which shall include, without limitation, all Eligible Containers,
Eligible Chassis, Direct Finance Lease Receivables, and all products and
proceeds thereof), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and a pledge of
100%
of the Capital Stock of each of CAI’s Subsidiaries (or, in the case of a
non-Guarantor Subsidiary that is a “controlled foreign corporation” under

foreign non-Guarantor Subsidiary), in each case pursuant to the terms of, and
as
provided in, the Security Documents to which such Borrower or such Guarantor
is
a party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this §6.1, a
non-Guarantor Foreign Subsidiary of CAI which is formed as a special purpose
entity in connection with a secured financing transaction which is without
recourse to CAI or any of its other Subsidiaries or any of their assets shall
not be subject to the Capital Stock pledge requirements of this
§6.1.
6.2. Guaranties
of Subsidiaries. The Obligations of CAI
Barbados shall be guaranteed by CAI pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty
contained in §17. The Obligations shall also be guaranteed by the
Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty.
6.3. Release
of Collateral.
The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall (and
is
hereby authorized to) release its Lien on Collateral upon a request for such
release by the applicable Borrower or Guarantor (a) in connection with a
disposition of such Collateral permitted by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, §9.5.2) and (b) at other times, so long as prior to any such release
(i) the Borrowers submit a Borrowing Base Report demonstrating that, after
giving pro forma effect to any such requested release of Collateral,(A)
the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the
Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the
outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the lesser of (I) the
Total Commitment at such time and (II) the Borrowing Base at such time and
(B)
the sum of the outstanding amount of the CAI Revolving Credit Loans plus
the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations in respect
of Letters of Credit issued for the account of CAI plus the outstanding
amount of Swing Line Loans made to CAI shall not exceed the lesser of (I) the
Total Commitment at such time and (II) the Domestic Borrowing Base at such
time
and (ii) no Default or Event of Default exists or would arise after giving
effect to any such release.

projections of the annual operating budgets of CAI and its Subsidiaries on
a
consolidated basis, balance sheets and cash flow statements for the 2007 to
2010
fiscal years, copies of which have been delivered to each Lender,
disclose all major assumptions made with respect to general economic, financial
and market conditions used in formulating such projections. To the

the aggregate) would result in any material change in any of such
projections. The projections are based upon reasonable estimates and
assumptions, have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions stated therein

as set forth in Schedule7.7 hereto, there are no actions, suits,
proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of such Borrower
after due and diligent investigation, threatened or contemplated at law, in
equity or before any Governmental Authority, by or against CAI or any of its
Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or revenues, that (a) if
adversely determined, might, either in any case or in the aggregate, after
taking into account the merit of such actions, suits, proceedings, claims or
disputes, (i) have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) materially impair the
right
of CAI and its Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, to carry on business
substantially as now conducted by them, or result in any substantial liability
not adequately covered by insurance, or for which adequate reserves are not
maintained on the consolidated balance sheet of CAI and its Subsidiaries, or
(b)
would question the validity of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or
thereto.
7.8. No
Materially Adverse Contracts, etc. Neither such Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any Governing Document or other legal
restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, law, statute, rule or regulation
that has or is expected in the future to have a Material Adverse

to any contract or agreement that has or is expected, in the judgment of the
Borrowers' officers, to have any Material Adverse Effect.
55
7.9. Compliance
with Other Instruments, Laws, etc. Neither such Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any provision of its Governing
Documents, or any agreement or instrument to which it may be subject or by

taxes
for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or
declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount
claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and none of

as
such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005;
neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation as
a
"public utility" under the Federal Power Act, as amended; nor is it an
"investmentcompany", or an "affiliatedcompany" or a
"principalunderwriter" of an "investmentcompany", as
such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
7.13. Absence
of Financing Statements, etc. Except with respect to
Permitted Liens, there is no financing statement, security agreement, chattel
mortgage, real estate mortgage or other document filed or recorded with any

or give notice of any present or possible future Lien on any assets or property
of CAI or any of its Subsidiaries or any rights relating thereto.
7.14. Perfection
of Security Interest. All filings, assignments, pledges
and deposits of documents or instruments have been made and all other actions
have been taken that are necessary or advisable, under applicable law, to
establish and perfect the Administrative Agent's security interest in the

or
other defenses. Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors are the
owners of the Collateral owned by it free from any Lien, except for Permitted
Liens.
7.15. Certain
Transactions. Except for arm's length transactions
pursuant to which CAI or any of its Subsidiaries make payments in the ordinary
course of business upon terms no less favorable than CAI or such Subsidiary
could obtain from third parties and except pursuant to the terms of the
documents described on Schedule 7.15 hereto, no Affiliate of any Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries is presently a party to any transaction with any
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees,
officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement
providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of
real
or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from
any
such Affiliate or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, any corporation,
partnership, trust or other entity in which any such Affiliate has a substantial
interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.
56
7.16. Employee
Benefit Plans.
7.16.1.
In General. Each Employee
Benefit Plan and each Guaranteed Pension Plan has been maintained and operated
in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA and all
Applicable Pension Legislation and, to the extent applicable, the Code,
including but not limited to the provisions thereunder respecting prohibited
transactions and the bonding of fiduciaries and other persons handling plan
funds as required by §412 of ERISA.
7.16.2.
Guaranteed Pension
Plans. Each contribution required to be made to a
Guaranteed Pension Plan, whether required to be made to avoid the incurrence
of
an accumulated funding deficiency, the notice or lien provisions of §302(f) of
ERISA, or otherwise, has been timely made. No waiver of an
accumulated funding deficiency or extension of amortization periods has been
received with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, and neither any Borrower
nor any ERISA Affiliate is obligated to or has posted security in connection
with an amendment to a Guaranteed Pension Plan pursuant to §307 of ERISA or
§401(a)(29) of the Code. No liability to the PBGC (other than
required insurance premiums, all of which have been paid) has been incurred
by
the Borrowers or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any Guaranteed Pension
Plan
and there has not been any ERISA Reportable Event (other than an ERISA
Reportable Event as to which the requirement of 30 days notice has been waived),
or any other event or condition which presents a material risk of termination
of
any Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC. Based on the latest
valuation of each Guaranteed Pension Plan (which in each case occurred within
twelve months of the date of this representation), and on the actuarial methods
and assumptions employed for that valuation, the aggregate benefit liabilities
of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans within the meaning of §4001 of ERISA did
not exceed the aggregate value of the assets of all such Guaranteed Pension
Plans, disregarding for this purpose the benefit liabilities and assets of
any
Guaranteed Pension Plan with assets in excess of benefit
liabilities.
7.16.3.
Multiemployer Plans. Neither
any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability
(including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a
complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under §4201 of ERISA
or as a result of a sale of assets described in §4204 of
ERISA. Neither the Borrowers nor any ERISA Affiliate has been
notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under
and
within the meaning of §4241 or §4245 of ERISA or is at risk of entering
reorganization or becoming insolvent, or that any Multiemployer Plan intends
to
terminate or has been terminated under §4041A of ERISA.
7.17. Use
of Proceeds.
57
7.17.1.

proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used (a) to refinance the
Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement, (b) for working capital and
general corporate purposes and (c) to fund Capital Expenditures permitted
hereunder. Such Borrower will obtain Letters of Credit solely for
working capital and general corporate purposes.
7.17.2.
Regulations U and
X. No portion of any Revolving Credit
Loan is to be used, and no portion of any Letter of Credit is to be obtained,
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any "marginsecurity" or

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Parts 221 and
224.
7.18. Environmental
Compliance. Such Borrower have taken all reasonable and
necessary steps to investigate the past and present condition and usage of
the
Real Estate and the operations conducted thereon and, based upon such diligent
investigation, has determined that:
(a) CAI
and its Subsidiaries conduct in the ordinary course of business a review of
the
effect of existing Environmental Laws (as define below) and claims alleging
potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law
on
their respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result thereof
CAI and its Subsidiaries have reasonably concluded that such Environmental
Laws
and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(b) such
Borrowers, its Subsidiaries or any operator of the Real Estate or any operations
thereon is not in violation, or alleged violation, of any judgment, decree,
order, law, license, rule or regulation pertaining to environmental matters,
including without limitation, those arising under the Resource Conservation
and
Recovery Act ("RCRA"), the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 as amended ("CERCLA"), the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 ("XXXX"), the

or decree relating to health, safety or the environment (hereinafter
"Environmental Laws"), which violation could have a material adverse
effect on the environment or a Material Adverse Effect; and
(c) neither
such Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries have received notice from any third
party including, without limitation, any Governmental Authority, (i) that any
one of them has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA") as a potentially responsible party under CERCLA with
respect to a site listed on the National Priorities List, 40 C.F.R. Part 000
Xxxxxxxx X; (ii) that any hazardous waste, as defined by 42 U.S.C. §6903(5), any
hazardous substances as defined by 42 U.S.C. §9601(14), any pollutant or
contaminant as defined by 42 U.S.C. §9601(33) and any toxic substances, oil or
hazardous materials or other chemicals or substances regulated by any
Environmental Laws ("Hazardous Substances") which any one of them has
generated, transported or disposed of has been found at any site at which a
Governmental Authority has conducted or has ordered that any Borrower or any
of
their Subsidiaries conduct a remedial investigation, removal or other response
action pursuant to any Environmental Law; or (iii) that it is or shall be a
named party to any claim, action, cause of action, complaint, or legal or
administrative proceeding (in each case, contingent or otherwise) arising out
of
any third party's incurrence of costs, expenses, losses or damages of any kind
whatsoever in connection with the release of Hazardous Substances.
58
7.19. Subsidiaries,
etc. Schedule 7.19(a) hereto sets forth the only
Subsidiaries of CAI, including the jurisdiction of incorporation/formation
and
principal place of business or registered office, as the case may be, of each
such Person. Except as set forth on Schedule7.19(b)
hereto, neither CAI nor any Subsidiary of CAI is engaged in any joint venture
or
partnership with any other Person.
7.20. Collection
Accounts. Schedule 7.20 designates each
Collection Account of such Borrower and the Guarantors and all such Collection
Accounts are either (i) with the Administrative Agent as the depositary bank
or
(ii) are subject to an Account Control Agreement in favor of the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
7.21. Disclosure. None
of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to CAI
or
any of its Subsidiaries in the case of any document or information not furnished
by either of them or any of their Subsidiaries) necessary in order to make
the
statements herein or therein not misleading; provided that, with respect
to projected financial information, each Borrower represents only that such
information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable at the time. There is no fact known to CAI or any of its
Subsidiaries which has a Material Adverse Effect, or which is reasonably likely
in the future to have a Material Adverse Effect, exclusive of effects resulting
from changes in general economic conditions, legal standards or regulatory
conditions.
7.22. Title

applicable law, are required to be registered is properly registered in the
name
of the relevant Borrower or the appropriate Subsidiary of CAI, and all Chassis,
the ownership of which, under applicable law, is evidenced by a certificate

title, is properly titled in the name of the Borrower or the appropriate
Subsidiary of CAI , with the Administrative Agent's Lien noted thereon and
all
other steps required for the perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien on
such Chassis under applicable law have been taken.
7.23. Solvency. Both
before and after giving effect to each incurrence of Indebtedness hereunder,
and
the payment of all fees, costs and expenses payable by the Borrowers hereunder,
CAI and its Subsidiaries are Solvent.
7.24. Insurance. CAI
and each of its Subsidiaries maintain with financially sound and reputable
insurers insurance and such insurance is in accordance with sound business
practices in accordance with industry standards and the terms of the Security
Documents.
7.25. Foreign
Assets Control Regulations, Etc. None of the requesting
or borrowing of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Line Loans, the requesting
or issuance, extension or renewal of any Letters of Credit or the use of the
proceeds of any thereof will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C.
§1 et seq., as amended) (the "Trading With the Enemy Act") or any of the
foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department
(31
CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the "Foreign Assets Control
Regulations") or any enabling legislation or executive order relating
thereto (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be
limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property
and
Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support
Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the "Executive Order") and (b) the
Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to
Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law
107-56)). Furthermore, neither the Borrowers nor any of their
Subsidiaries or other Affiliates that are controlled by the Borrowers (a) is
or
will become a "blocked person" as described in the Executive Order, the Trading

or
(q) a
Change of Control shall occur;
then,
and
in any such event, so long as the same may be continuing, the Administrative
Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice in
writing to the Borrowers declare all amounts owing with respect to this Credit
Agreement, the Revolving Credit Notes and the other Loan Documents and all

demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrowers; provided that in the event of any Event of
Default specified in §§13.1(g) or 13.1(h), all such amounts shall become
immediately due and payable and the Borrowers shall be required to provide
Cash
Collateral for all L/C Exposure, in each case, automatically and without any
requirement of notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
13.2. Termination
of Commitments. If any one or more of the Events of
Default specified in §13.1(g) or §13.1(h) shall occur, any unused portion of the

81
13.3. Remedies. In
case any one or more of the Events of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity
of the Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to §13.1, each Lender, if owed any amount
with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans or the
Reimbursement Obligations, may, with the consent of the Required Lenders but
not
otherwise, proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity, action
at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance
of
any covenant or agreement contained in this Credit Agreement and the other
Loan
Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations to such Lender
are
evidenced, including as permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the
exparte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount shall have
become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof
or any other legal or equitable right of such Lender. No remedy
herein conferred upon any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the holder
of
any Revolving Credit Note or purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation
is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall
be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or
now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision
of law.
13.4.

event that, following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Default
or
Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be,
receives any monies in connection with the enforcement of any the Security
Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the
Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for application as
follows:
(a) First,
to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the
Administrative Agent for or in respect of all reasonable costs, expenses,
disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the
Administrative Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the
Administrative Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and
privileges of the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any of
the
other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any
provision of adequate indemnity to the Administrative Agent against any taxes
or
liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the
Administrative Agent to such monies;
(b) Second,
to all other Obligations (other than obligations of each Borrower and its
Subsidiaries to any Secured Party with respect to any Interest Rate Protection
Agreements, Swap Contracts or Cash Management Agreements) in such order or
preference as the Required Lenders may determine; provided,
however, that (i) distributions shall be made (A) paripassu
among Obligations with respect to the fees owing to the Administrative Agent
and
all other Obligations and (B) with respect to each type of Obligation owing
to
the Lenders, such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, among the Lenders
prorata, and (ii) the Administrative Agent may in its discretion
make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and
payable;
82
(c) Third,
to obligations of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries to any of the Secured
Parties with respect to any Interest Rate Protection Agreements, any Swap
Contracts and any Cash Management Agreements entered into with any Secured
Party;
(d) Fourth,
upon payment and satisfaction in full or other provisions for payment in full
satisfactory to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent of all of the
Obligations, to the payment of any obligations required to be paid pursuant
to
§9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
New York; and
(e) Fifth,
the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrowers or to such other Persons
as are entitled thereto.
14. THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
14.1. Authorization.
(a) Each
of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf
as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. The Administrative Agent is authorized to take such action
on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are
hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents
delegated to the Administrative Agent, together with such powers as are
reasonably incident thereto, including the authority, without the necessity
of
any notice to or further consent of the Lenders, from time to time to take
any
action with respect to any Collateral or the Security Documents which may be
necessary to perfect, maintain perfected or insure the priority of the security
interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security
Documents, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly
assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the
Administrative Agent. The provisions of this §14 are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and
the
L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrowers nor any of their Subsidiaries shall have
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
(b) The
relationship between the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders is that
of
an independent contractor. The use of the term "Administrative
Agent" is for convenience only and is used to describe, as a form of
convention, the independent contractual relationship between the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders. Nothing contained in this Credit
Agreement nor the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create an agency,
trust or other fiduciary relationship between the Administrative Agent and
any
of the Lenders.
(c) As
an independent contractor empowered by the Lenders to exercise certain rights
and perform certain duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is nevertheless a
"representative" of the Lenders, as that term is defined in Article 1 of
the Uniform Commercial Code, for purposes of actions for the benefit of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent with respect to all collateral security
and
guaranties contemplated by the Loan Documents. Such actions include
the designation of the Administrative Agent as "securedparty",
"mortgagee" or the like on all financing statements, certificates of
title and other documents and instruments, whether recorded or otherwise,
relating to the attachment, perfection, priority or enforcement of any security
interests, mortgages or deeds of trust in collateral security intended to secure
the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, all for the benefit of
the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
83
(d) 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 (i) provided to the Administrative
Agent in this §14 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 the applications and agreements for letters of credit
pertaining to the L/C Issuer as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as
used in this §14 included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions
(and including any affiliates of the L/C Issuer and the officers, directors,
employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact of the L/C Issuer and any affiliates),
and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C
Issuer.
14.2. Employees
and Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent may
exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or sub-agents
and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning
all
matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Credit Agreement and
the
other Loan Documents. The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent
may utilize the services of such Persons as the Administrative Agent in its
sole
discretion may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of
any
such Persons shall be paid by the Borrowers. The exculpatory
provisions of this §14 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Administrative 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 Administrative
Agent.
14.3. No
Liability. The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting
them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for
any
waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken,
in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences
of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Administrative
Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, may be liable for losses due
to
its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail
message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel
to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders
as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified
to
its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action;
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document
or
applicable law. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Credit Agreement
or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the
Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required
hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to
act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. Except as expressly
set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall
have no duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,
any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their respective
Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or
Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of
Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender, the
Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent also
may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it
to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of any Revolving Credit Loan, Swing Line Loan or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender, the Swing Line
Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Revolving Credit Loan,
Swing Line Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for
the
Borrowers), 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.
84
14.4. No
Representations.
14.4.1.
General. The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability
of this Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Notes, the Letters of Credit,
any
of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or
intended to constitute, collateral security for the Revolving Credit Notes,
or
for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity,
enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to
the
Revolving Credit Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or
representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any
certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the
Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire
as
to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants
or
agreements herein or in any instrument at any time constituting, or intended
to
constitute, collateral security for the Revolving Credit Notes or to inspect
any
of the properties, books or records of the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall not be bound to
ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by
the
Borrowers or any holder of any of the Revolving Credit Notes shall have been
duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into
the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other
terms
or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document or the occurrence
of any Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent has not
made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied,
nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the credit
worthiness or financial conditions of the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries.
85
14.4.2.
Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other
Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit
Agreement. Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative 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. The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into the satisfaction of any condition set forth in §§11 and 12 or
elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required
to
be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
14.5.
Payments.
14.5.1.
Payments to Administrative
Agent. A payment by the Borrowers to the Administrative
Agent hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender
shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Administrative Agent
agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender such Lender's prorata
share of payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other
Loan Documents.
14.5.2.
Distribution by Administrative
Agent. If in the opinion of the Administrative Agent the
distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under
the
Revolving Credit Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve
it
in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make
distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent
jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that
any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid,
each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either
repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so
adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such
Persons as shall be determined by such court.
14.5.3.
Delinquent
Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any
Lender that fails (a) to make available to the Administrative Agent its
prorata share of any Revolving Credit Loan or to purchase any
Letter of Credit Participation or to purchase participations in Swing Line
Loans
required to be funded by it hereunder or (b) to comply with the provisions
of
§16.1 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other
Lenders, where such Lender's share of any payment received, whether by setoff
or
otherwise, is in excess of its prorata share of such payments due
and payable to all of the Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent
required by the provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be deemed delinquent
(a "DelinquentLender") and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender
until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender
shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the
Borrowers, whether on account of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans,
participations in Swing Line Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, interest,
fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to,
and reduction of, their respective prorata shares of all
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement
Obligations. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders
in
proportion to their respective prorata shares of all outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and participations
in
Swing Line Loans. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have
satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of
the
assigned payments to all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations and participations in Swing Line Loans of the
nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders' respective prorata shares of
all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and
participations in Swing Line Loans have returned to those in effect immediately
prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing
such delinquency.
86
14.5.4.
Replacement of Lender. If any
Lender (a) requests compensation under §§5.6 or 5.7, or if the Borrowers are
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to §5.6, or (b) is a Delinquent
Lender, then CAI may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in, and consents required by, §15), 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
Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in §15.1.2;
(b) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under §5.9) from the assignee
(to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees)
or
the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
§§5.6 or 5.7 or payments required to be made pursuant to §5.6, 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 Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to
apply.
14.6. Holders
of Revolving Credit Notes. The Administrative Agent may
deem and treat the payee of any Revolving Credit Notes, any participant in
a
Swing Line Loan or the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation as the
absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall
have
been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent
holder, assignee or transferee.
87
14.7.
Indemnity. To the extent that any Borrower
for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required hereunder (including
under §§16.2 and 16.3 hereof) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or
any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Related
Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line
Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment
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
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or the Swing Line Lender in its
capacity as such, or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any
Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or
any such sub-agent) or the Swing Line Lender or L/C Issuer in connection with
such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this §14.7 are
subject to the provisions of §2.8.3.
14.8. Administrative
Agent as Lender, etc. In its individual capacity, Bank
of America shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and
privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans made
by
it, and as the holder of any of the Revolving Credit Notes, as the purchaser
of
participations in Swing Line Loans and as the purchaser of any Letter of Credit
Participations, as it would have were it not also the Administrative
Agent. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for
and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary
or
other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent
hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders. Neither the Syndication Agent nor the Documentation Agent
shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty
under
the Credit Agreement in such capacity, other than those applicable to all
Lenders as Lenders. The Arranger shall not have any right, power,
obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under the Credit Agreement in
such
capacity.
14.9. Resignation. The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer and the
Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers and,
so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
subject to the reasonable acceptance of the Borrowers, to appoint a successor,
which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate
of
any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may
on
behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above
(including the reasonable acceptance of the Borrowers); provided that if
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers 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
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any
collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders,
the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the
retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security
until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender,
the
Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this
Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
(or
retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative 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 Borrowers to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such
successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this §14 and
§§16.2 and 16.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the
retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
88
Any
resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
L/C
Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender
shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) 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 the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations
of
the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
14.10. Notification
of Defaults and Events of Default. Each Lender hereby
agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default,
it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof. The
Administrative Agent hereby agrees that upon receipt of any notice under this
§14.10 it shall promptly notify the other Lenders of the existence of such
Default or Event of Default.
14.11. Duties
in the Case of Enforcement. In case one of more Events
of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not
acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent
shall, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have
provided to the Administrative Agent such additional indemnities and assurances
against expenses and liabilities as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request, proceed to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents authorizing
the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and exercise
all or any such other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it
may
have in respect of such Collateral. The Required Lenders may direct
the Administrative Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any
such
sale or other disposition, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold
the
Administrative Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect of all
actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided
that the Administrative Agent need not comply with any such direction to the
extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the Administrative
Agent's compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially
unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.
89
14.12. Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative
to
any Borrower or any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether
the principal of any Revolving Credit Loan, Swing Line Loan or Reimbursement
Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have
made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans or
Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid
and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to
have the claims of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender,
the
L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel
and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative
Agent hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
any
such claims and to distribute the same;
and
any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent
and,
in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent hereunder (including
under §§5.1, 16.2 and 16.3).
Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender, the Swing
Line Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender
or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of
any
Lender in any such proceeding.
14.13. Collateral
and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders, the Swing Line Lender
and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option
and in its discretion,
(a) to
release, or authorize the release of, any Lien on any property granted to or
held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination
of
the Total Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of
all
Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold, to be sold or otherwise disposed of as
part of or in connection with any disposition or other transaction permitted
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) if such release is permitted
under Section 6.3 or (iv) subject to §16.12, if approved, authorized or ratified
in writing by the Required Lenders;
90
(b) to
subordinate, or authorize the subordination of, any Lien on any property granted
to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder
of
any Lien on such property that is permitted by §9.2.1; and
(c) to
release, or authorize the release of, any Guarantor from its obligations under
the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a
transaction permitted hereunder.
Upon
request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or
subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release
any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this
§14.13.
14.14. Intercreditor
and Collateral Arrangements. Each of Lenders, the Swing
Line Lender and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent,
for and on behalf of the Secured Parties, to be the representative of the
Secured Parties in connection with, and to enter into on behalf of the Secured
Parties (i) upon the request of CAI with reasonable advance notice to the
Administrative Agent and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists,
an
Intercreditor Agreement (and any agreements, certificates, documents and
instruments relating thereto or to the transactions contemplated thereby),
all
of the forgoing to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and (ii) upon the request of CAI with reasonable advance notice to the
Administrative Agent and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists,
any
collateral agency arrangements (including any agreements, certificates,
documents and instruments relating thereto or to the transactions contemplated
thereby) with a collateral agent or collateral trustee and the issuer(s) of
any
Indebtedness (and holders of Liens in respect thereof) permitted hereunder
for
the purposes of, among other things, administering the Liens held for the
benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral, such collateral agency
arrangements and related documentation to be in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent. Upon the reasonable request of CAI, the
Administrative shall cooperate in good faith with CAI in its efforts to
coordinate the intercreditor and collateral agency arrangements described
above. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the
Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority pursuant to
this §14.14 to enter into the transactions contemplated by the first sentence of
this §14.14 and any and all agreements, documents and instruments relating
thereto.
15. ASSIGNMENT
AND PARTICIPATION.
15.1. Conditions
to Assignment.
15.1.1.
Successors and Assignment
Generally. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the
Borrowers nor any Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of
its
rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance
with the provisions of §15.1.2, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with
the provisions of §15.1.4, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security
interest subject to the restrictions of §15.1.5 (and any other attempted
assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and
void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in §15.1.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender,
the
L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or by reason of this Agreement.
91
15.1.2.
Assignments by
Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one
or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Revolving
Credit Loans (including for purposes of this §15.1.2, participations in Letters
of Credit and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided
that
(a) except
in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, at the
time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate
of
a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount
of
the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Credit Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit 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
Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers
otherwise consent (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 Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible 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;
(b) each
partial assignment of Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans shall be made
as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Revolving Credit
Loans, participations in Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit or the
Commitment assigned, except that this clause (b) shall not apply to rights
in
respect of Swing Line Loans of the Swing Line Lender;
(c) any
assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the
L/C
Issuer and the Swing Line Lender unless the Person that is the proposed assignee
is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify
as an Eligible Assignee); and
(d) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent
an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee
in
the amount of $3,500.00 (provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing
and recordation fee in the case of any assignment), and the Eligible Assignee,
if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire.
92
Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
§15.1.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit
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 §§5.6, 5.7, 5.9, 16.2 and 16.3 with respect to
facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment. Upon request, the Borrowers (at its expense) shall
execute and deliver a Revolving Credit 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
§15.1.4. The Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide the Borrowers with prompt notice of any assignment
hereunder.
15.1.3.
Register. The Administrative
Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall
maintain at the Administrative 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
Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Line Loan and participations in Letters of
Credit owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time
(the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative 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 each of the Borrowers, the Swing Line Lender and
the
L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a
material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender
may
request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the
Register.
15.1.4.
Participations. Any Lender
may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries or
any competitor of the Borrowers) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Revolving Credit Loans
(including such Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit and/or Swing Line
Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under
this Credit 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders,
the
Swing Line Lender 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.
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 §16.12(a) that affects such Participant. Subject
to §15.1.5, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of §§5.6, 5.7 and 5.9, to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
§15.1.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of §16.1 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to §16.1 as though it were
a Lender.
93
15.1.5.
Certain Pledges. Any Lender
may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion
of
its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Revolving Credit
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.
15.1.6.
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.
15.1.7.
Resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender
after
Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment
and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to §15.1.2 above, Bank of America may, (i)
upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer
and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as Swing Line
Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender, the Borrowers 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 Borrowers to appoint any such successor
shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America 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 Letters of Credit and
Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require
the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to §4). If Bank of America 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 §2.10. 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 Bank of America to effectively assume
the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of
Credit.
94
16. PROVISIONS
OF GENERAL APPLICATIONS.
16.1. Setoff. Each
Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders
a
continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all
liabilities and obligations to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, whether
now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits,
collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody,
safekeeping or control of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any Lender
Affiliate and their successors and assigns or in transit to any of
them. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, if any Event of
Default shall have occurred, any deposits or other sums credited by or due
from
any of the Lenders or Lender Affiliates to any Borrower and any securities
or
other property of such Borrower in the possession of such Lender may be applied
to or set off by such Lender against the payment of Obligations and any and
all
other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become
due, now existing or hereafter arising, of such Borrower to such
Lender. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE
OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWERS ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each of the Lenders agrees with
each other Lender that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to
Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender, other than Indebtedness evidenced
by the Revolving Credit Notes held by such Lender or constituting Reimbursement
Obligations owed to such Lender or participations in Swing Line Loans held
by
such Lender, such amount shall be applied ratably to such other Indebtedness
and
to the Indebtedness evidenced by all such Revolving Credit Notes held by such
Lender or constituting Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Lender or
participations in Swing Line Loans held by such Lender, and (b) if such Lender
shall receive from the Borrowers, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of
the
right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced
by the Revolving Credit Notes held by, or constituting Reimbursement Obligations
owed to or participations in Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender by
proceedings against the Borrowers at law or in equity or by proof thereof in
bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings,
or
otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Revolving Credit
Note or Revolving Credit Notes held by, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to,
or
participations in Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender any amount in excess
of
its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect
to the Revolving Credit Notes held by, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to,
or
participations in Swing Line Loans held by, all of the Lenders, such Lender
will
make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect
to
such excess, either by way of distribution, protanto assignment of
claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in
respect of the Revolving Credit Notes held by it or Reimbursement Obligations
owed it, or participations in Swing Line Loans held by it, its proportionate
payment as contemplated by this Credit Agreement; provided that if all or
any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such
disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to
the
extent of such recovery, but without interest.
16.2. Expenses. Each
Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with
the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment
thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer
(including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer),
in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under
this §16.2, or (B) in connection with the Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line
Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans
or
Letters of Credit. All amounts due under this §16.2 shall be payable
not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor. The
agreements in this §16.2 shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer, the replacement
of any Lender, the termination of the Total Commitment and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
95
16.3. Indemnification. Each
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof),
each Lender, the Swing Line 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), and shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges
and
disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred
by
any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by
the
Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries arising out of, in connection with,
or as
a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Credit 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 Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and
its
Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (ii) any Revolving Credit Loan, Swing Line 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), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Substances on or from any property owned or operated by
the
Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related
in any way to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or (iv) 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 Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries,
and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to
have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee
or
(y) result from a claim brought by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries
against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrowers or such Subsidiary
has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim
as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
96
To
the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower shall not assert,
and
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability,
for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any
Revolving Credit Loan, Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph above shall
be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of
any
information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby.
All
amounts due under this §16.3 shall be payable not later than ten Business Days
after demand therefor. The agreements in this §16.3 shall survive the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C
Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Total Commitment
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other
Obligations.
16.4. Treatment
of Certain Confidential Information.
16.4.1.
Confidentiality.
Each
of
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender 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 in accordance
with the terms hereof), (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);
provided that the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide notice to the Borrowers of any such request, (c) to the
extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar
legal process; provided that the Administrative Agent shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Borrowers upon becoming
aware of such requirement, (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 Borrowers and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the
Borrowers 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 Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer
or
any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrowers and not as a result of any violation of any
confidentiality obligation to the Borrowers.
97
For
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received
from the Borrowers or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary
or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that
is
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or
the
L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers
or
any Subsidiary. 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

the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public
information concerning the Borrowers 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.
16.5. Survival
of Covenants, Etc. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein, in the Revolving Credit Notes,
in
any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered
by
or on behalf of CAI or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant hereto shall be deemed
to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent,
notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them,
and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any of the Revolving Credit
Loans, the Swing Line Loans and the issuance, extension or renewal of any
Letters of Credit, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force
and
effect so long as any Letter of Credit or any amount due under this Credit
Agreement or the Revolving Credit Notes or any of the other Loan Documents
remains outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or the
Administrative Agent has any obligation to issue, extend or renew any Letter
of
Credit, and for such further time as may be otherwise expressly specified in
this Credit Agreement. All statements contained in any certificate or
other paper delivered to any Lender or the Administrative Agent at any time
by

with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations
and
warranties by CAI or such Subsidiary hereunder.

CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively,
the

Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise)
arising out of the Borrowers’ or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of
Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided,
however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability
to the
Borrowers, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person
for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages).
99

purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices
were
not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded
or

OF
DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY,
INCLUDING ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS
OF
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
LOANS OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT SEEK
TO
CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT

hereby waive any right it may have to claim or recover in any litigation
referred to in the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or
consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual
damages. The Borrowers (a) certify that no representative, agent or
attorney of any Lender or the Administrative Agent has represented, expressly
or
otherwise, that such Lender or the Administrative Agent would not, in the event
of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (b) acknowledges that
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been induced to enter into this
Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which it is a
party and the Subordination Documents to which it is a party by,
among other things, the waivers and certifications contained
herein.
16.12. Consents,
Amendments, Waivers, Etc. Any consent or approval
required or permitted by this Credit Agreement to be given by the Lenders may
be
given, and any term of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any
other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the
performance or observance by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries of
any
terms of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or such other
instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Borrowers and
the
written consent of the Required Lenders and acknowledged by the Administrative
Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or waiver
shall:
101
(a) without
the written consent of the Borrowers and each Lender directly affected
thereby:
(i)
reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loans, Swing
Line
Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, or reduce the rate of interest on the
Revolving Credit Notes or the amount of the Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit
Fees (other than interest accruing pursuant to §5.10.2 following the effective
date of any waiver by the Required Lenders of the Default or Event of Default
relating thereto);
(ii)
increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment or extend the expiration date of
such Lender's Commitment or reinstate any Commitment that has been
terminated;
(iii) postpone
or extend the Maturity Date or any other regularly scheduled dates for payments
of principal of, or interest on, the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Line
Loans or Reimbursement Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable to
such
Lender (it being understood that (A) a waiver of the application of the default
rate of interest pursuant to §5.10.2, and (B) any
vote to rescind any acceleration made pursuant to §13.1 of amounts owing with
respect to the Revolving Credit Loans and other Obligations shall
require only the approval of the Required Lenders); and
(iv) other
than pursuant to a transaction permitted by the terms of this Credit Agreement,
release in one transaction or a series of related transactions all or
substantially all of the Collateral (excluding if the Borrowers or any
Subsidiary of the Borrowers becomes a debtor under the federal Bankruptcy Code,
the release of “cash collateral”, as defined in Section 363(a) of the federal
Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a cash collateral stipulation with the debtor
approved by the Required Lenders) or release all or substantially all of the
Guarantors from their guaranty obligations under the Guaranty;
(b) without
the written consent of all of the Lenders, waive a Default or Event of Default
under §13.1(a) or §13.1(b), amend or waive this §16.12 or the definition of
Required Lenders or change §§13.4 or 16.1 in a manner that would alter the pro
rata sharing of payments required thereby;
(c) (i)
no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the
L/C
Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties
of
the L/C Issuer under this Credit Agreement or any Issuer Document relating
to
any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver
or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition
to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line
Lender under this Credit Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall,
unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the
Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent
under this Credit 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;
102
(d) without
the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, waive any
condition set forth in §11.
No
waiver
shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any
right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission
on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right
shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial
thereto. No notice to or demand upon the Borrowers shall entitle the
Borrowers to other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
Delinquent 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 without the consent of such Lender.
16.13. Severability. The
provisions of this Credit Agreement are severable and if any one clause or
provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part
in
any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only

not
in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or
any
other clause or provision of this Credit Agreement in any
jurisdiction.
16.14. USA
PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the
Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not
on
behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies the Borrowers and/or their Subsidiaries,
which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers or their
Subsidiaries and other information that will allow such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries in accordance with the Act.
17. GUARANTY.
17.1. Guaranty. CAI
hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees in favor of the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as a guaranty of payment and
performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when
due,
whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand
or
otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations of
CAI
Barbados, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages,
costs, expenses or otherwise, arising hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and
other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred
by the Lenders in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof)
(collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The
Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and
shall be binding upon CAI, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the
amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be
affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed
Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection,
non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or
circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise
constitute a defense to the obligations of CAI under this Guaranty, and CAI
hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire
in
any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.
103
17.2. Rights
of Lenders. CAI consents and agrees that the Secured Parties
may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without
affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a)
amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change
the
time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
(b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or
otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any
Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner
of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders
in
their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more
of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CAI
consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any
manner or to any extent vary the risks of CAI under this Guaranty or which,
but
for this provision, might operate as a discharge of CAI.
17.3. Certain
Waivers. CAI waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any
disability or other defense of CAI Barbados or any other guarantor, or the
cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any
Lender) of the liability of CAI Barbados; (b) any defense based on any claim
that CAI’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of CAI Barbados;
(c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting CAI’s liability
hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against CAI Barbados, proceed against or
exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy
in the power of any Lender whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to
participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Lender; and (f) to
the
fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that
may
be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or
exonerating guarantors or sureties. CAI expressly waives all setoffs
and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance,
notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices
of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of
this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional
Guaranteed Obligations. CAI waives any rights and
defenses that are or may become available to CAI by reason of §§ 2787 to 2855,
inclusive, and §§ 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code. As
provided below, the guaranty contained in this §17 shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The
foregoing waivers and the provisions hereinafter set forth in this Guaranty
which pertain to California law are included solely out of an abundance of
caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced
provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this guaranty or
the
Guaranteed Obligations.
17.4. Obligations
Independent. The obligations of CAI hereunder are those of
primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed
Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action
may be brought against CAI to enforce this Guaranty whether or not CAI Barbados
or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
17.5.
Subrogation. CAI shall not exercise any right of
subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with
respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly
paid in full in cash and performed in full and the Commitments are
terminated. If any amounts are paid to CAI in violation of the
foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit
of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Lenders to reduce the amount
of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
104
17.6. Termination;
Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable
guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall
remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other
amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and
the Commitments with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are
terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall
continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any
payment by or on behalf of CAI Barbados or CAI is made, or any of the Lenders
exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations 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 any of the Lenders in
their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all
as
if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether
or
not the Lenders are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and
regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or
reduction. The obligations of CAI under this paragraph shall survive
termination of this Credit Agreement and/or this Guaranty.
17.7. Subordination. CAI
hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of CAI
Barbados owing to CAI, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including
but
not limited to any obligation of CAI Barbados to CAI as subrogee of the Lenders
or resulting from CAI’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible
payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. If the Lenders
so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of CAI Barbados to CAI shall
be
enforced and performance received by CAI as trustee for the Lenders and the
proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Lenders on account of the Guaranteed
Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability
of
CAI under this Guaranty.
17.8. Stay
of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of
any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case
commenced by or against CAI or CAI Barbados under any Debtor Relief Laws, or
otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by CAI immediately
upon
demand by the Lenders.
17.9. Condition
of CAI Barbados. CAI acknowledges and agrees that it has the
sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from CAI Barbados
and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition,
business and operations of CAI Barbados and any such other guarantor as CAI
requires, and that none of the Lenders has any duty, and CAI is not relying
on
the Lenders at any time, to disclose to CAI any information relating to the
business, operations or financial condition of CAI Barbados or any other
guarantor (CAI waiving any duty on the part of the Lenders to disclose such
information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the
same).

Borrowers acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their Affiliates’
