THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “
Agreement”), is entered into as of September 3, 2009, by
and among the lenders identified on the signature pages hereof (such lenders, together with their
respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a
“
Lender” and collectively as the “
Lenders”), XXXXX FARGO FOOTHILL, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, as the arranger and administrative agent for the Lenders (in such
capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “
Agent”), COMERICA
BANK, Texas Banking Association, as co-arranger for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with
its successors and assigns in such capacity, “
Co-Arranger”), and REALPAGE, INC., a Delaware
corporation (“
Borrower”).
The parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.
1.1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on
Schedule 1.1.
1.2. Accounting Terms.
All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with
GAAP; provided, however, that if Borrower notifies Agent that Borrower requests an
amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after
the Closing Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if Agent
notifies Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such
purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or
in the application thereof, then Agent and Borrower agree that they will negotiate in good faith
amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by such Accounting Change
with the intent of having the respective positions of the Lenders and Borrower after such
Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions as of the date of
this Agreement and, until any such amendments have been agreed upon, the provisions in this
Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred. When used herein, the
term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules thereto, when and as applicable.
Whenever the term “Borrower” is used in respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it
shall be understood to mean Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the
context clearly requires otherwise.
1.3. Code.
Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Code shall be construed and defined
as set forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein; provided, however, that
to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently
in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 of the Code
shall govern.
1.4. Construction.
Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise,
references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the
terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise
indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,”
“hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this
Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular
provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection,
clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this
Agreement unless otherwise specified.
Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to
any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes,
extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements,
thereto and thereof, as applicable, all to the extent executed by the respective parties of any
such agreement, instrument or document (subject to any restrictions on such alterations,
amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders,
and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the
same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties,
including cash, securities, accounts, and contract rights. Any reference herein or in any other
Loan Document to the satisfaction or repayment in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment
in full in cash (or, in the case of Letters of Credit or Bank Products, providing Letter of Credit
Collateralization) of all Obligations other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations
and other than any Bank Product Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Bank
Product Provider to remain outstanding and that are not required by the provisions of this
Agreement to be repaid or cash collateralized. Any reference herein to any Person shall be
construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained
herein or in any other Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record.
1.5. Schedules and Exhibits.
All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated
herein by reference.
2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.
2.1. Revolver Advances.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this
Agreement, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and
severally) to make advances (“Advances”) to Borrower in an amount at any one time
outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the least of (i) the
Maximum Revolver Amount less the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, (ii) the Credit Amount at
such time less the sum of (A) the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (B) the outstanding
principal balance of the Term Loan at such time and (iii) the Borrowing Base at such time less the
Letter of Credit Usage at such time.
(b) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement.
The outstanding principal amount of the Advances, together with interest accrued thereon, shall be
due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and
payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, Agent shall have the
right with 7 days’ prior written notice to Borrower to establish reserves against the Borrowing
Base and the Credit Amount in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent in its
Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, including Bank Product Reserves and
reserves with respect to (i) Holdbacks that may be payable in connection with any Permitted
Acquisition to the extent Borrower has not established a cash collateral account with Agent
containing cash in the amount of such Holdbacks, (ii) sums that Borrower or its Subsidiaries are
required to pay under any Section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (such as taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable
under such leases) and has failed to pay, and (iii) amounts owing by Borrower or its Subsidiaries
to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral (other than
a Permitted Lien), which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Agent likely would have a
priority superior to Agent’s Liens (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen,
carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem,
excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the
Collateral.

Unpaid Principal Balance |
The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loan shall
be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the date of the acceleration
of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms hereof. All principal of, interest on, and other
amounts payable in respect of the Term Loan shall constitute Obligations.
2.3. Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.
(a)
Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made by a written request by an
Authorized Person delivered to Agent. Unless Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan
pursuant to
Section 2.3(b) below, such notice must be received by Agent no later than 10:00
a.m. (
California time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the
amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day;
provided,
however, that if Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan as to
a requested Borrowing, such notice must be received by Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (
California
time) on the Business Day prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date. At Agent’s
election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give
Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrower
agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving
of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect
the validity of the request.
(b) Making of Swing Loans. In the case of a request for an Advance and so long as either (i)
the aggregate amount of Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date, minus the amount of
Collections or payments applied to Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date, plus the amount of
the requested Advance does not exceed $5,000,000, or (ii) Swing Lender, in its sole discretion,
shall agree to make a Swing Loan notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, Swing Lender shall make
an Advance in the amount of such Borrowing (any such Advance made solely by Swing Lender pursuant
to this Section 2.3(b) being referred to as a “Swing Loan” and such Advances being
referred to collectively as “Swing Loans”) available to Borrower on the Funding Date
applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds to the Designated Account; provided
Swing Lender shall not be obligated to make such Swing Loan if Swing Lender has notified Borrower
in writing that it has elected to discontinue making Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan
-3-
shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and
conditions applicable to other Advances, except that all payments on any Swing Loan shall be
payable to Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section
2.3(d)(ii), Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan if
Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set
forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable
Borrowing, or (ii) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.
Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto
prior to making any Swing Loan. The Swing Loans shall be secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute
Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that
are Base Rate Loans.
(c) Making of Loans.
(i) In the event that Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan, or otherwise elects
not to make a Swing Loan, then promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. (
California time)
on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto, by telecopy,
telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall
make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in
immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. (
California time) on the
Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Advances, Agent
shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by
transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the Designated
Account;
provided,
however, that, subject to the provisions of
Section
2.3(d)(ii), no Lender shall have the obligation to make any Advance if (1) one or more of the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3 will not be satisfied on the
requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2)
the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.
(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 9:00 a.m. (
California time) on the
date of a Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to
Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing,
Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in
immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If
any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds
and if Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on
the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to Agent, together with
interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by
Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this
Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent
shall constitute such Lender’s Advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement.
If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date,
Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay
such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since
the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time
to the Advances composing such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance on any
Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make an Advance on
such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make
the Advance to be made by such other Lender on any Funding Date.
(iii) Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by
Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to the
Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender
member of the Lender Group ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but only to the extent
that such Defaulting Lender’s Advance was funded by the other members of the Lender Group) or, if
so directed by Borrower and if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and
to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s
-4-
Advance was not funded by the Lender Group), retain same to be re-advanced to Borrower as if
such Defaulting Lender had made Advances to Borrower. Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold
and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the
amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting
Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan
Documents, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment
shall be deemed to be zero. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until
(x) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared or shall have become immediately
due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Borrower shall have waived such
Defaulting Lender’s default in writing, or (z) the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of
the applicable Advance and pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect thereof.
The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the
Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any
other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by
any Loan Party of its duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such
Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material
breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower at its option, upon
written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Agent. In connection with
the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to
be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and
Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed
and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the
outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including an assumption of its
Pro Rata Share of the Letters of Credit) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever;
provided, however, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or Borrower’s rights
or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to
fund.
(d) Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.
(i) Any contrary provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, Agent hereby is authorized by
Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the
other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 are not satisfied, to make
Advances to, or for the benefit of, Borrower on behalf of the Lenders (in an aggregate amount for
all such Advances taken together not exceeding $2,000,000 outstanding at any one time) that Agent,
in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral,
or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other
than the Bank Product Obligations) (any of the Advances described in this Section 2.3(d)(i)
shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”).
(ii) Any contrary provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize
Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, and either Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is
not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances (including Swing Loans) to
Borrower notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby would be created, so long as (A)
after giving effect to such Advances, the outstanding Revolver Usage does not exceed the Credit
Amount by more than $2,000,000, and (B) after giving effect to such Advances, the outstanding
Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or
Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. In the event Agent obtains
actual knowledge that the Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the immediately foregoing
provisions, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify the Lenders
as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) Overadvances (except for and
excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless
Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value),
and the Lenders with Revolver Commitments thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly determine
the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrower intended to reduce, within a
reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances to Borrower to an amount
-5-
permitted by the preceding sentence. In such circumstances, if any Lender with a Revolver
Commitment objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of
reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required
Lenders. In any event: (x) if any Overadvance remains outstanding for more than 30 days, unless
otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders, Agent shall notify Borrower to immediately repay
Advances in an amount sufficient to eliminate all such Overadvances, and (y) after the date all
such Overadvances have been eliminated, there must be at least five consecutive days before
Overadvances are made. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent
and are not meant for the benefit of Borrower, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions
of Section 2.5. Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be obligated to settle with
Agent as provided in Section 2.3(e) for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any
Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender, any Overadvances made as permitted under this
Section 2.3(d)(ii), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of
interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses.
(iii) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder,
except that no Protective Advance or Overadvance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and,
prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Protective Advances shall be payable to Agent
solely for its own account; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
a Lender may request that no Settlement be made with respect to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any
Protective Advance in excess of such Lender’s Revolver Commitment. The Protective Advances and
Overadvances shall be repayable on demand, secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations
hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base
Rate Loans. The ability of Agent to make Protective Advances is separate and distinct from its
ability to make Overadvances and its ability to make Overadvances is separate and distinct from its
ability to make Protective Advances; for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations on Agent’s ability
to make Protective Advances do not apply to Overadvances and the limitations on Agent’s ability to
make Overadvances do not apply to Protective Advances. The provisions of this Section
2.3(d) are for the exclusive benefit of Agent, Swing Lender, and the Lenders and are not
intended to benefit Borrower in any way.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Loan Documents to the
contrary: (A) no Overadvance or Protective Advance may be made by Agent if such Advance would
cause the aggregate principal amount of Overadvances and Protective Advances outstanding to exceed
an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Revolver Amount; and (B) to the extent any
Protective Advance causes the aggregate Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, each
such Protective Advance shall be for Agent’s sole and separate account and not for the account of
any Lender.
(e) It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Advances is intended by the Lenders
to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement
notwithstanding, Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for
the benefit of Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Advances, the Swing Loans, and the
Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following
provisions:
(i) Agent shall request settlement (“
Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis,
or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect
to the outstanding Swing Loans, (2) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Protective
Advances, and (3) with respect to Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ Collections or payments received,
as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission,
of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. (
California time) on the Business Day
immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement
being the “
Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary
statement of the amount of outstanding Advances, Swing Loans, and Protective Advances for the
period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein
(including
Section 2.3(c)(iii)): (y) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including
Swing Loans and Protective Advances) exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances
(including Swing Loans and Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no
later than 12:00 p.m. (
California time) on the Settlement Date,
-6-
transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender
may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of
the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective
Advances), and (z) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective
Advances) is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and
Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m.
(
California time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to Agent’s
Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the
Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective
Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loans or Protective Advances
and, together with the portion of such Swing Loans or Protective Advances representing Swing
Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is
not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent
required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on
demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.
(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Protective
Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances,
Swing Loans, and Protective Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant
Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent
with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders
hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.
(iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent Protective Advances or Swing Loans are
outstanding, may pay over to Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, any Collections or payments
received by Agent that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the
reduction of the Advances, for application to the Protective Advances or Swing Loans. Between
Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no Protective Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may
pay over to Swing Lender any Collections or payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to Swing
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date, Collections or payments of
Borrower or its Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have
been applied to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances other than to Swing Loans, as
provided for in the previous sentence, Swing Lender shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the
Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such
Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such
Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates,
Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Protective Advances, and each
Lender (subject to the effect of agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) with respect to
the Advances other than Swing Loans and Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the
applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by
Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable.
(f) Notation. Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall maintain a register showing
the principal amount of the Advances (and portion of the Term Loan, as applicable), owing to each
Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to Swing Lender, and Protective Advances owing to Agent,
and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall, absent
manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.
(g) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Advances (other than Swing Loans and Protective
Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata
Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other
Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor
shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any
other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its
obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.

2.4. Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments.
(a) Payments by Borrower.
(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made to
Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available
funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (
California time) on the date specified herein. Any payment
received by Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (
California time) shall be deemed to have been received on
the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such
following Business Day.
(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due
to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may
assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in
immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such
Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when
due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender,
together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount
is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.
(b) Apportionment and Application.
(i) So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise
provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all principal and interest payments shall be
apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations
to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and all payments of fees and expenses (other
than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account) shall be apportioned ratably among the
Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee
or expense relates. All payments to be made hereunder by Borrower shall be remitted to Agent and
(subject to Section 2.4(b)(iv), Section 2.4(d)(ii), Section 2.4(e) and
Section 2.4(f)) all such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be
applied, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the balance of
the Advances outstanding and, thereafter, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or
such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.
(ii) At any time that an Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as
otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all payments remitted to Agent and all
proceeds of Collateral received by Agent shall be applied as follows:
(A) first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements)
or indemnities then due to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,
(B) second, to pay any fees or premiums then due to Agent under the Loan Documents
until paid in full,
(C) third, to pay interest due in respect of all Protective Advances until paid in
full,
(D) fourth, to pay the principal of all Protective Advances until paid in full,
(E) fifth, ratably to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense
reimbursements) or indemnities then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid
in full,
-8-
(F) sixth, ratably to pay any fees or premiums then due to any of the Lenders under
the Loan Documents until paid in full,
(G) seventh, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Advances (other than
Protective Advances), the Swing Loans, and the Term Loan until paid in full,
(H) eighth, ratably (i) to pay the principal of all Swing Loans until paid in full,
(ii) to pay the principal of all Advances until paid in full, (iii) to Agent, to be held by Agent,
for the benefit of Issuing Lender (and for the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders that have an
obligation to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, a share of each Letter of Credit
Disbursement), as cash collateral in an amount up to 105% of the Letter of Credit Usage, and (iv)
to pay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan (in the inverse order of the maturity of
the installments due thereunder) until the Term Loan is paid in full,
(I) ninth, to pay any other Obligations (including being paid to the Bank Product
Providers on account of all amounts then due and payable in respect of Bank Products, with any
balance to be paid to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the benefit of the Bank Product Providers, as
cash collateral), and
(J) tenth, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person
entitled thereto under applicable law.
(iii) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire
instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive,
subject to a Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.3(e).
(iv) In each instance, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing,
Section 2.4(b)(i) shall not apply to any payment made by Borrower to Agent and specified by
Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under
any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(v) For purposes of Section 2.4(b)(ii), “paid in full” means payment in cash of all
amounts owing under the Loan Documents, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees,
interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency
Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not any
of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency
Proceeding.
(vi) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section
2.4 and any other provision contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the
parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible,
to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot
be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and
govern.
(c) Reduction of Commitments.
(i) Revolver Commitments. The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
Borrower may reduce the Revolver Commitments to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum
of (A) the Revolver Usage as of such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Advances not yet
made as to which a request has been given by Borrower under Section 2.3(a), plus (C) the
amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been given by Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.11(a). Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is not less
than $1,000,000 (unless the Revolver Commitments are being reduced to zero and the amount of the
Revolver Commitments in effect immediately prior to such reduction are less than $1,000,000), shall
be made by providing not less than 10 Business Days prior written notice to Agent and shall be
irrevocable. Once reduced, the Revolver Commitments may not be
-9-
increased. Each such reduction of the Revolver Commitments shall reduce the Revolver
Commitments of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof.
(ii) Term Loan Commitments. The Term Loan Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the
Term Loan.
(d) Optional Prepayments.
(i) Advances. Borrower may prepay the principal of any Advance at any time in whole or in
part.
(ii) Term Loan. Borrower may, upon at least 10 Business Days prior written notice to Agent,
prepay the principal of the Term Loan, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this
Section 2.4(d)(ii) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of
such payment on the amount prepaid. Each such prepayment shall be applied against the remaining
installments of principal due on the Term Loan on a pro rata basis (for the avoidance of doubt, any
amount that is due and payable on the Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).
(e) Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) Borrowing Base; Credit Amount. If, at any time, (A) the Revolver Usage on such date
exceeds (B) the Borrowing Base (such excess being referred to as the “Borrowing Base
Excess”), then Borrower shall immediately prepay the Obligations in accordance with Section
2.4(f)(i) in an aggregate amount equal to the Borrowing Base Excess. If, at any time, (A) the
sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan on such date plus the Revolver Usage on
such date exceeds (B) the Credit Amount (such excess being referred to as the “Credit Amount
Excess”), then Borrower shall immediately prepay the Obligations in accordance with Section
2.4(f)(i) in an aggregate amount equal to the Credit Amount Excess.
(ii) Dispositions. Within 3 Business Days of the date of receipt by any Loan Party of the Net
Cash Proceeds of any voluntary or involuntary sale or disposition by any Loan Party of assets
(including property and casualty losses or condemnations but excluding (A) sales or dispositions
which qualify as Permitted Dispositions except for those Permitted Dispositions under clauses (g),
(h) and (o) of the definition of Permitted Dispositions and (B) sales or dispositions which qualify
as Permitted Dispositions under clause (n) of the definition of Permitted Dispositions up to
$1,250,000 in the aggregate) in excess of the Retained Amount in any fiscal year of Borrower,
Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with
Section 2.4(f)(ii)in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (including
condemnation awards and payments in lieu thereof) received by such Loan Party in connection with
such sales or dispositions; provided that, so long as (A) no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (B) Borrower shall have given
Agent prior written notice of Borrower’s intention to apply such monies to the costs of replacement
of the properties or assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition or the cost of
purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of the Loan Party whose assets were
the subject of such disposition, (C) the monies are held in a Deposit Account in which Agent has a
perfected first-priority security interest, and (D) such Loan Party completes such replacement,
purchase, or construction within 180 days after the initial receipt of such monies, then such Loan
Party shall have the option to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the assets that are
the subject of such sale or disposition or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets
useful in the business of such Loan Party unless and to the extent that such applicable period
shall have expired without such replacement, purchase, or construction being made or completed, in
which case, any amounts remaining in the cash collateral account shall be paid to Agent and applied
in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii). Nothing contained in this Section
2.4(e)(ii) shall permit Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to sell or otherwise dispose of any
assets other than in accordance with Section 6.4.
(iii) Extraordinary Receipts. Within 3 Business Days of the date of receipt by Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts in excess of the Retained Amount in any
-10-
fiscal year of Borrower, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the
Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) in an amount equal to 100% of such
Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary
Receipts.
(iv) Indebtedness. Within 3 Business Days of the date of incurrence by Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), Borrower shall prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) in an
amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such
incurrence. The provisions of this Section 2.4(e)(iv) shall not be deemed to be implied
consent to any such incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(v) Equity. Within 3 Business Days of the date of the issuance by Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries of any shares of its or their Stock (other than (A) in the event that Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries forms or capitalizes any Subsidiary in accordance with the terms hereof, the
issuance by such Subsidiary of Stock to Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, (B) the
issuance of Stock of Borrower to directors, officers, consultants and employees of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries pursuant to stock option plans (or other employee incentive plans or other
compensation arrangements) approved by the Board of Directors, (C) the issuance of Stock of
Borrower to finance the purchase consideration (or a portion thereof) in connection with a
Permitted Acquisition, (D) the issuance of Stock of Borrower the proceeds of which are used to pay
or prepay the Preferred Shareholder Notes and (E) the issuance of Stock of Borrower for an
aggregate sales price of an amount up to 5% of the equity valuation of Borrower on a fully-diluted
basis before giving effect to such issuance; provided that the exception provided in this clause
(E) shall only be available to Borrower once during the term of this Agreement), Borrower shall
prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section
2.4(f)(ii) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in
connection with such issuance. The provisions of this Section 2.4(e)(v) may be waived by
Agent in its discretion and shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance
otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(vi) Excess Cash Flow. Within 150 days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower,
commencing with Borrower’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, Borrower shall prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(ii) in an
amount equal to 25% of the Excess Cash Flow of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such fiscal year.
(vii) Change of Control. Borrower shall immediately prepay the Obligations in full in cash
upon the consummation of a Change of Control.
(viii) Notice of Redemption. Borrower shall immediately prepay the Obligations in full in
cash upon the earlier of (A) the issuance of a valid notice of redemption from the requisite number
of holders of Preferred Stock required to effect a mandatory redemption of such Preferred Stock
under Section 5 of Borrower’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and (B) the date of
redemption of any of such Preferred Stock.
(f) Application of Payments.
(i) Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(i) shall, (A) so long as no Application
Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied, first, to the outstanding principal amount
of the Advances until paid in full, second, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an
amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, and third, to the outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loan until paid in full, and (B) if an Application Event shall have
occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(b)(ii). Each
such prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal
of the Term Loan on a pro rata basis (for the avoidance of doubt, any amount that is due and
payable on the Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).
-11-
(ii) Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii), 2.4(e)(iii),
2.4(e)(iv), 2.4(e)(v), or 2.4(e)(vi) above shall (A) so long as no
Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied, first, to the outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loan until paid in full, second, to the outstanding principal amount
of the Advances (with a corresponding permanent reduction in the Maximum Revolver Amount), until
paid in full, and third, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of
the then extant Letter of Credit Usage (with a corresponding permanent reduction in the Maximum
Revolver Amount), and (B) if an Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied
in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(b)(ii). Each such prepayment of the Term Loan shall
be applied against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loan on a pro rata basis
(for the avoidance of doubt, any amount that is due and payable on the Maturity Date shall
constitute an installment).
2.5. Overadvances.
If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations owed by Borrower to the Lender
Group pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.11 is greater than any of the
limitations set forth in Section 2.1 or Section 2.11, as applicable (an
“Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such
excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the Obligations in accordance with the
priorities set forth in Section 2.4(b). Borrower promises to pay the Obligations
(including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in Dollars in full on the Maturity Date
or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations are declared due and payable pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.
2.6. Interest Rates and Letter of Credit Fee: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.6(c), all Obligations (except for
undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) shall bear interest on the Daily
Balance thereof as follows:
(i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR
Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, and
(ii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin.
(b) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrower shall pay Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders
with a Revolver Commitment, subject to any agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), a
Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in
Section 2.11(e)) which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate Margin
times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.
(c) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and
at the election of the Required Lenders,
(i) all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product
Obligations) shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 3
percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder, and
(ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for in Section 2.6(b) shall be increased to 3
percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder.
(d) Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in Section 2.10 or
Section 2.12(a), interest, Letter of Credit fees, all other fees payable hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents, and all costs, expenses, and Lender Group Expenses payable
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the
first day of each month at any time that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding. Borrower
hereby authorizes Agent, from time to time without
-12-
prior notice to Borrower, to charge all interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees
payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when due and
payable), all costs, expenses, and Lender Group Expenses payable hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when incurred), all charges, commissions, fees, and
costs provided for in Section 2.11(e) (as and when accrued or incurred), all fees and costs
provided for in Section 2.10 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as
and when due and payable under any Loan Document (including any amounts due and payable to a Bank
Product Provider (to the extent such Bank Product Provider is Xxxxx Fargo or any of its Affiliates)
in respect of Bank Products) to the Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute
Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base
Rate Loans. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded and shall accrue interest at the
rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans.
(e) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed
on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period
during which the interest or fees accrue. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time
hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately
shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.
(f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or
rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the
highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final
determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this
Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated
within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum
allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and
shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from
Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the
principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.
2.7. Crediting Payments.
The receipt of any payment item by Agent shall not be considered a payment on account unless
such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to Agent’s Account
or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment
item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such
payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into
Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. (California time). If any payment item
is received into Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (California time) on a
Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on
the immediately following Business Day.
2.8. Designated Account.
Agent is authorized to make the Advances and the Term Loan, and Issuing Lender is authorized
to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions
received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or, without instructions, if pursuant to
Section 2.6(d). Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the
Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by
Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and
Borrower, any Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders
hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.
-13-
2.9. Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations.
Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan
Account”) on which Borrower will be charged with the Term Loan, all Advances (including
Protective Advances and Swing Loans) made by Agent, Swing Lender, or the Lenders to Borrower or for
Borrower’s account, the Letters of Credit issued or made by Issuing Lender for Borrower’s account,
and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (except for Bank
Product Obligations), including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses.
In accordance with Section 2.7, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments
received by Agent from Borrower or for Borrower’s account. Agent shall render statements on a
monthly basis regarding the Loan Account to Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and
including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses owing, and
such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate
and constitute an account stated between Borrower and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after
receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing
the error or errors contained in any such statements.
2.10. Fees.
Borrower shall pay to Agent,
(a) for the account of Agent, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter,
the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.
(b) for the ratable account of those Lenders with Revolver Commitments, on the first day of
each month from and after the Closing Date up to the first day of the month prior to the Payoff
Date and on the Payoff Date, an unused line fee in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum times the
result of (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount, less (ii) the average Daily Balance of the Revolver
Usage during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof).
2.11. Letters of Credit.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of Borrower made
in accordance herewith, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue, or to cause an Underlying Issuer, as
Issuing Lender’s agent, to issue, a requested Letter of Credit. If Issuing Lender, at its option,
elects to cause an Underlying Issuer to issue a requested Letter of Credit, then Issuing Lender
agrees that it will obligate itself to reimburse such Underlying Issuer (which may include, among,
other means, by becoming an applicant with respect to such Letter of Credit or entering into
undertakings which provide for reimbursements of such Underlying Issuer with respect to such Letter
of Credit; each such obligation or undertaking, irrespective of whether in writing, a
“Reimbursement Undertaking”) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Underlying
Issuer. By submitting a request to Issuing Lender for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower
shall be deemed to have requested that Issuing Lender issue or that an Underlying Issuer issue the
requested Letter of Credit and to have requested Issuing Lender to issue a Reimbursement
Undertaking with respect to such requested Letter of Credit if it is to be issued by an Underlying
Issuer (it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Borrower that Borrower is and shall be deemed
to be an applicant (within the meaning of Section 5-102(a)(2) of the Code) with respect to each
Underlying Letter of Credit). Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the
amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be made in writing by
an Authorized Person and delivered to the Issuing Lender via hand delivery, telefacsimile, or other
electronic method of transmission reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance,
amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and shall specify (i) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (ii)
the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, (iii) the
expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary of the
Letter of Credit, and (v) such other information (including, in the case of an amendment, renewal,
or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as
shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of
-14-
Credit. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuing Lender may,
but shall not be obligated to, issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit or to issue a
Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, that
supports the obligations of Borrower or its Subsidiaries in respect of (1) a lease of real
property, or (2) an employment contract. Borrower agrees that this Agreement (along with the terms
of the applicable application) will govern each Letter of Credit and its issuance. The Issuing
Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking in
respect of an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, if any of the following would result
after giving effect to the requested issuance:
(i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Borrowing Base less the outstanding amount of
Advances at such time, or
(ii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Credit Amount at such time less the sum of
the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan and the outstanding amount of Advances at such
time, or
(iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $5,000,000, or
(iv) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount less the sum of (A)
the Bank Product Reserves, and (B) the outstanding amount of Advances.
Borrower and the Lender Group acknowledge and agree that certain Letters of Credit may be
issued to support letters of credit that already are outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each
Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Lender,
including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If
Issuing Lender makes a payment under a Letter of Credit or an Underlying Issuer makes a payment
under an Underlying Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Agent an amount equal to the applicable
Letter of Credit Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the date that Borrower
receives written or telephonic notice of such Letter of Credit Disbursement if such notice is
received prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, or not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on
the following Business Day, if such notice is received after 10:00 a.m., California time, and, in
the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and
automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, initially, shall bear interest at the
rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. If a Letter of Credit Disbursement is
deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrower’s obligation to pay the amount of such Letter of Credit
Disbursement to Agent on behalf of Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer shall be discharged and
replaced by the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from
Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or,
to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.11(b) to reimburse the
Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.
(b) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to
Section 2.11(a), each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share
of any Advance deemed made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) on the same terms and conditions as
if Borrower had requested the amount thereof as an Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing
Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit or a
Reimbursement Undertaking (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking
increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or
the Lenders with Revolver Commitments, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each
Lender with a Revolver Commitment, and each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be deemed to
have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Lender and each
Reimbursement Undertaking, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit or
Reimbursement Undertaking, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the
Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing
Lender or an Underlying Issuer under the applicable Letter of Credit. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of each Letter of Credit
-15-
Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer and not reimbursed by Borrower on
the date due as provided in Section 2.11(a), or of any reimbursement payment required to be
refunded to Borrower for any reason. Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment acknowledges and
agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount
equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this
Section 2.11(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made
notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to
satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3. If any such Lender fails to make available
to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided
in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account
of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together
with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.
(c) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group and each
Underlying Issuer harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys
fees incurred by Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer
arising out of or in connection with any Reimbursement Undertaking or any Letter of Credit;
provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for
any loss, cost, expense, or liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to
have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, any other
member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer. Borrower agrees to be bound by the
Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender’s
interpretations of any Reimbursement Undertaking even though this interpretation may be different
from Borrower’s own, and Borrower understands and agrees that none of the Issuing Lender, the
Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer shall be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake,
whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the
Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Borrower understands
that the Reimbursement Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer
for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such Underlying Issuer.
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold Issuing Lender and the other members of
the Lender Group harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys
fees), or liability incurred by them as a result of the Issuing Lender’s indemnification of an
Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated
hereunder to indemnify for any such loss, cost, expense, or liability to the extent that it is
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other member of
the Lender Group. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of the Issuing Lender, any
other member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer shall be responsible for delays, errors,
or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any Letter of Credit.
(d) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Issuing
Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying
Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing
Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter
of Credit and the related application.
(e) Any and all issuance charges, usage charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the
Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes
of this Agreement and shall be reimbursable immediately by Borrower to Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the
usage charge imposed by the Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum times the undrawn amount of each
Underlying Letter of Credit, that such usage charge may be changed from time to time, and that the
Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and
renewals.
(f) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule,
or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental
Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or
Underlying Issuer with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the
force of law) of any Governmental
-16-
Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from
time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):
(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect
of any Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or hereby, or
(ii) there shall be imposed on the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or
Underlying Issuer any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking,
and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Issuing
Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or an Underlying Issuer of issuing, making,
guaranteeing, or maintaining any Reimbursement Undertaking or Letter of Credit or to reduce the
amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a
reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify
Borrower, and Borrower shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as Agent may
specify to be necessary to compensate the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or
an Underlying Issuer for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such
amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to
Base Rate Loans hereunder; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required
to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11(f) for any such amounts incurred
more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment is first made to Borrower;
provided further, however, that if an event or circumstance giving rise to
such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include
the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to
this Section 2.11(f), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof
in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and
conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.
2.12. LIBOR Option.
(a) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based
upon the Base Rate, Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on
all or a portion of the Advances or the Term Loan be charged (whether at the time when made (unless
otherwise provided herein), upon conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or upon
continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan) at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR
Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto; (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations
are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period,
unless Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then
applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Advances or
the Term Loan bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate.
(b) LIBOR Election.
(i) Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 11:00
a.m. (California time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest
Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for a
permitted portion of the Advances or the Term Loan and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section
shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline,
or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to
Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the same day).
Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of
the affected Lenders.
-17-
(ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower. In connection with each
LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against
any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment
of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered
pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”); provided that Borrower
shall not be required to indemnify or pay any Funding Losses incurred or otherwise applicable as a
result of a mandatory prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii) as a result of a
property or casualty loss or condemnation or Section 2.4(e)(iii). A certificate of Agent
or a Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that
Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent or the Lender, as
applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate.
(iii) Borrower shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time.
Borrower only may exercise the LIBOR Option for proposed LIBOR Rate Loans of at least
$1,000,000.
(c) Conversion. Borrower may convert LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans at any time;
provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are converted or prepaid
on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a
result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Agent of proceeds of
Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ Collections in accordance with Section 2.4(b) or for any
other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or
any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and
hold Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in
accordance with Section 2.12 (b)(ii).
(d) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.
(i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis
to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining
any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law
occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes
in tax laws (except changes in the rate of any type of tax excluded from the definition of Taxes by
clause (i) thereof) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System (or any successor and changes of general applicability in corporate
income tax laws), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would
increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate and which
Lender has adjusted generally with respect to similarly situated borrowers. In any such event, the
affected Lender shall give Borrower and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and
Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice
from the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (y) require such Lender
to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the
method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with
respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section
2.12(b)(ii)).
(ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or
directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall at any time
after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for
such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to
determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed
circumstances to Agent and Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other
Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date
specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such
LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of
-18-
such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans,
and (z) Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that
it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.
(e) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually
to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest
accrues at the LIBOR Rate.
2.13. Capital Requirements.
(a) If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any
law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding
companies, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank
holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such
Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder
to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such
adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s
then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such
entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify
Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay such Lender
on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is
determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount
and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon
which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest
error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender
notifies Borrower of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of
such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if
such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline
that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof.
(b) If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in Section
2.12(d)(i) or amounts under Section 2.13(a) (any such Lender, an “Affected
Lender”), then such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a
different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such
designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable, and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of
such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrower
agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable efforts, such
Affected Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights
to another of its offices or branches so as to eliminate Borrower’s obligation to pay any future
amounts to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a),

director’s and officer’s liability insurance, fiduciary liability insurance, and employment
practices liability insurance, as well as insurance against larceny, embezzlement, and criminal
misappropriation. All such policies of insurance shall be with responsible and reputable insurance
companies acceptable to Agent and in such amounts as is carried generally in accordance with sound
business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated and located and in any
event in amount, adequacy and scope reasonably satisfactory to Agent. All property insurance
policies covering the Collateral are to be made payable to Agent for the benefit of Agent and the
Lenders, as their interests may appear, in case of loss, pursuant to a standard loss payable
endorsement with a standard non contributory “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain
such other provisions as Agent may
-28-
reasonably require to fully protect the Lenders’ interest in the Collateral and to any
payments to be made under such policies. All certificates of property and general liability
insurance are to be delivered to Agent, with the loss payable (but only in respect of Collateral)
and additional insured endorsements in favor of Agent and shall provide for not less than 30 days
(10 days in the case of non-payment) prior written notice to Agent of the exercise of any right of
cancellation. If Borrower fails to maintain such insurance, Agent may arrange for such insurance,
but at Borrower’s expense and without any responsibility on Agent’s part for obtaining the
insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection
of claims. Borrower shall give Agent prompt notice of any loss exceeding $250,000 covered by its
casualty or business interruption insurance. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Agent shall have the sole right to file claims under any property and general
liability insurance policies in respect of the Collateral, to receive, receipt and give acquittance
for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts,
releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the
collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies. If no Event
of Default exists, Borrower shall have the sole right to file claims under any insurance policies,
to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to
execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents
that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any
such insurance policies. As of the Closing Date, Agent acknowledges that the insurance maintained
by Loan Parties as of the Closing Date satisfies this Section 5.6.
5.7. Inspection.
Permit Agent, each Lender and each of their duly authorized representatives or agents to visit
any of its properties and inspect any of its assets or books and records, to conduct appraisals and
valuations, to examine and make copies of its books and records, and to discuss its affairs,
finances, and accounts with, and to be advised as to the same by, its officers and employees at
such reasonable intervals as Agent and each Lender may designate during Borrower’s regular business
hours and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, with reasonable prior notice to
Borrower; provided that any such visit or inspection shall be subject to reasonable data
security restrictions imposed by Borrower that are customary in Borrower’s industry.
5.8. Compliance with Laws.
Comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any
Governmental Authority, other than laws, rules, regulations, and orders the non-compliance with
which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Change.
5.9. Environmental.
(a) Keep any property either owned or operated by Borrower or its Subsidiaries free of any
Environmental Liens or post bonds or other financial assurances sufficient to satisfy the
obligations or liability evidenced by such Environmental Liens,
(b) comply, in all material respects, with Environmental Laws and provide to Agent
documentation of such compliance which Agent reasonably requests,
(c) promptly notify Agent of any release of which Borrower has knowledge of a Hazardous
Material in any reportable quantity from or onto property owned or operated by Borrower or its
Subsidiaries and take any Remedial Actions required to xxxxx said release or otherwise to come into
compliance, in all material respects, with applicable Environmental Law, and
(d) promptly, but in any event within 5 Business Days of its receipt thereof, provide Agent
with written notice of any of the following: (i) notice that an Environmental Lien has been filed
against any of the real or personal property of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, (ii) commencement of
any Environmental Action or notice that an Environmental Action will be filed against Borrower or
its Subsidiaries, and
-29-
(iii) notice of a violation, citation, or other administrative order which could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
5.10. Disclosure Updates.
Promptly and in no event later than 5 Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify
Agent if any written information, exhibit, or report furnished to the Lender Group contained, at
the time it was furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances in which made. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, any notification
pursuant to the foregoing provision will not cure or remedy the effect of the prior untrue
statement of a material fact or omission of any material fact nor shall any such notification have
the effect of amending or modifying this Agreement or any of the Schedules hereto.
5.11. Formation of Subsidiaries.
At the time that any Loan Party forms any direct or indirect Subsidiary or acquires any direct
or indirect Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such Loan Party shall (a) within 10 days of such
formation or acquisition (or such later date as permitted by Agent in its sole discretion) cause
any such new Subsidiary to provide to Agent a guaranty of the Obligations, together with such other
security documents (including mortgages with respect to any Real Property owned in fee of such new
Subsidiary with a fair market value of at least $500,000), as well as appropriate financing
statements (and with respect to all property subject to a mortgage, fixture filings), all in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent (including being sufficient to grant Agent a first
priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in and to the assets of such newly formed or acquired
Subsidiary to secure the guaranty of the Obligations); provided that such guaranty, and
such other security documents shall not be required to be provided to Agent with respect to any
Subsidiary of Borrower that is a CFC if providing such documents would result in adverse tax
consequences, is illegal under applicable law or the costs to the Loan Parties of providing such
Guaranty, executing any security documents or perfecting the security interests created thereby are
unreasonably excessive (as determined by Agent in consultation with Borrower) in relation to the
benefits of Agent and the Lenders of the security or guarantee afforded thereby, (b) within 30 days
of such formation or acquisition (or such later date as permitted by Agent in its sole discretion)
provide to Agent a pledge agreement and appropriate certificates and powers or financing
statements, hypothecating all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in such new Subsidiary
reasonably satisfactory to Agent to secure the Obligations; provided that only 65% of the
total outstanding voting Stock of any first tier Subsidiary of Borrower that is a CFC and none of
the total outstanding voting Stock of any other Subsidiary of such CFC shall be required to be
pledged if hypothecating a greater amount would result in adverse tax consequences, is illegal
under applicable law or the costs to the Loan Parties of providing such pledge or perfecting the
security interests created thereby are unreasonably excessive (as determined by Agent in
consultation with Borrower) in relation to the benefits of Agent and the Lenders of the security or
guarantee afforded thereby (which pledge, if reasonably requested by Agent, shall be governed by
the laws of the jurisdiction of such Subsidiary), and (c) within 10 days of such formation or
acquisition (or such later date as permitted by Agent in its sole discretion) provide to Agent all
other documentation, including one or more opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Agent,
which in its opinion is appropriate with respect to the execution and delivery of the applicable
documentation referred to above (including policies of title insurance or other documentation with
respect to all Real Property owned in fee and subject to a mortgage). Any document, agreement, or
instrument executed or issued pursuant to this Section 5.11 shall be a Loan Document.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, in no event shall
RealPage Payment Processing be required to become a Guarantor or to provide any security for the
Obligations, nor shall Borrower be required to pledge any Stock of RealPage Payment Processing.
5.12. Further Assurances.
At any time upon the reasonable request of Agent, execute or deliver to Agent any and all
financing statements, fixture filings, security agreements, pledges, assignments, endorsements of
certificates of title, mortgages, deeds of trust, opinions of counsel, and all other documents
(collectively, the “Additional
-30-
Documents”) that Agent may reasonably request in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Agent, to create, perfect, and continue perfected or to better perfect Agent’s
Liens in all of the assets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (whether now owned or hereafter arising
or acquired, tangible or intangible, real or personal), to create and perfect Liens in favor of
Agent in any Real Property acquired by Borrower or its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date with a
fair market value in excess of $500,000, and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions
contemplated hereby and under the other Loan Documents; provided that the foregoing shall
not apply to any Subsidiary of Borrower that is a CFC if providing such documents would result in
adverse tax consequences, is illegal under applicable law or the costs to the Loan Parties of
providing such documents are unreasonably excessive (as determined by Agent in consultation with
Borrower) in relation to the benefits of Agent and the Lenders of the benefits afforded thereby.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower authorizes Agent to execute any such
Additional Documents in the applicable Loan Party’s or its Subsidiary’s name, as applicable, solely
to perfect Agent’s security interest and authorizes Agent to file such executed Additional
Documents in any appropriate filing office. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
each Loan Party shall take such actions as Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure
that the Obligations are guarantied by the Guarantors and are secured by substantially all of the
assets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and all of the outstanding capital Stock of Borrower’s
Subsidiaries (subject to limitations contained in the Loan Documents with respect to CFCs).
5.13. Lender Meetings.
Within 90 days after the close of each fiscal year of Borrower, at the request of Agent or of
the Required Lenders and upon reasonable prior notice, hold a meeting (at a mutually agreeable
location and time or, at the option of Agent, by conference call) with all Lenders who choose to
attend such meeting at which meeting shall be reviewed the financial results of the previous fiscal
year and the financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the projections presented for
the current fiscal year of Borrower.
5.14. Material Contracts.
Contemporaneously with the delivery of each Compliance Certificate pursuant hereto, provide
Agent with copies of (a) each Material Contract entered into since the delivery of the previous
Compliance Certificate, and (b) each material amendment or modification of any Material Contract
entered into since the delivery of the previous Compliance Certificate.
5.15. Location of Tangible Collateral.
Keep each Loan Parties’ and its Domestic Subsidiaries’ tangible Collateral (other than (i)
vehicles and Equipment out for repair and (ii) other Equipment in the hands of employees or
consultants in the ordinary course of business having a value of less than $250,000 in the
aggregate, including, without limitation, laptop computers)) only at the locations identified on
Schedule 4.25 and their chief executive offices only at the locations identified on
Schedule 4.6(b); provided, however, that Borrower may amend Schedule
4.25 or Schedule 4.6(b) so long as such amendment occurs by written notice to Agent not
less than 10 days prior to the date on which such tangible Collateral is moved to such new location
or such chief executive office is relocated and so long as such new location is within the
continental United States, and so long as, at the time of such written notification, Borrower or
such Domestic Subsidiary provides Agent a Collateral Access Agreement with respect thereto.
5.16. Assignable Material Contracts.
Use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any Material Contract entered into after
the Closing Date by Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries that generates or, by its terms, will
generate revenue, permits the assignment of such agreement (and all rights of Borrower or such
Subsidiary, as applicable, thereunder) to Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s lenders or an agent for
any lenders (and any transferees of such lenders or such agent, as applicable).

termination of such tax liens.

North Carolina and (ii) MultiFamily Internet Ventures, LLC issued by the appropriate officer of the
States of Maryland and Utah, each dated within 30 days of the Closing Date.

to such copyrights in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Security Agreement.

permitted by the terms hereof or thereof, first priority Lien on the Collateral covered thereby,

to be null and void, or a proceeding shall be commenced by a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, or by
any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, seeking to
establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries shall

created under any Loan Document.
9. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
9.1. Rights and Remedies.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent may, and, at the
instruction of the Required Lenders, shall, in each case by written notice to Borrower and in
addition to any other rights or remedies provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document or
by applicable law, do any one or more of the following on behalf of the Lender Group:
(a) declare the Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan
Documents immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other requirements of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; and
(b) declare the Revolver Commitments terminated, whereupon the Revolver Commitments shall
immediately be terminated together with any obligation of any Lender hereunder to make Advances and
the obligation of the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit.
The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in Section 8.4 or Section 8.5, in addition to the remedies set forth
above, without any notice to Borrower or any
-39-
other Person or any act by the Lender Group, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the
Obligations then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees
and all other amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall automatically
and immediately become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any
kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.
9.2. Remedies Cumulative.
The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents,
and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender Group shall have all other rights and
remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise
by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender
Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group
shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.
10. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.
10.1. Demand; Protest; etc.
Each Loan Party a party hereto waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or
dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise,
settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any
time held by the Lender Group on which such Loan Party may in any way be liable.
10.2. The Lender Group’s Liability for Collateral.
Borrower hereby agrees that: (a) so long as Agent complies with its obligations, if any,
under the Code, the Lender Group shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for:
(i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any
manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or
default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk
of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
10.3. Indemnification.
Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related
Persons, and each Participant (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest
extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions,
investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable
fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses
actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this
indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any
time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a
result of or related to the execution and delivery (provided that Borrower shall not be liable for
costs and expenses (including attorneys fees) of any Lender (other than WFF) incurred in advising,
structuring, drafting, reviewing, administering or syndicating the Loan Documents), enforcement,
performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or
the monitoring of Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents
(other than disputes solely between the Lenders), (b) with respect to any investigation,
litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the
proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a
party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, and
(c) in connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on,
under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities or Remedial Actions related in
any way to any such
-40-
assets or properties of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (each and all of the foregoing,
the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower
shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 10.3 with respect to
any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or its
officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents. This provision shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any
payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which
Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified
Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower with respect
thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH
RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY
NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.
11. NOTICES.
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other
informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally

12. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; REFERENCE PROVISION.
(a) THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO
THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT), THE CONSTRUCTION,
INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND
THERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO OR THERETO
SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
(b) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN THE STATE AND, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF
CALIFORNIA; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY
COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION
WHERE AGENT ELECTS TO BRING SUCH ACTION OR WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND.
BORROWER AND EACH MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR
TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION
12(b).
(c) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND EACH MEMBER OF THE LENDER
GROUP HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED
UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN,
INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR
STATUTORY CLAIMS. BORROWER AND EACH MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED
THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION
WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN
CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
(d) REFERENCE PROVISION. In the event the Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not
enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.
12.1. Mechanics.
(a) With the exception of the items specified in clause (b), below, any controversy, dispute
or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in
this Section, the “Lender Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in
California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of
Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive
remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the
-42-
reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Lender Documents, venue for the
reference proceeding will be in the state or federal court in the county or district where the real
property involved in the action, if any, is located or in the state or federal court in the county
or district where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).
(b) The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) foreclosure of
any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies
(including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary,
provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of
possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This reference provision does
not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in
clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items
described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not
waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this reference provision as provided
herein.
(c) The referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of
the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any
party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the
Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex
parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte
relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each party shall have one peremptory challenge to
the referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative).
(d) The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings.
Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein
for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within
fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues
of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii)
report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for
decision.
(e) The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The
referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s
failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based
upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery,
depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other
discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to
discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision
shall be final and binding.
12.2. Procedures. Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine
the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings,
the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the
course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee,
except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so
requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the
referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall
have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to
award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the
court reporter at trial.
12.3. Application of Law. The referee shall be required to determine all issues in
accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of
evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the
reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief,
enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be
authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or
summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding
which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP
§
-43-
644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner
as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and
conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any
appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of
fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial
or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under
this provision.
12.4. Repeal. If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee
is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would
otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The
arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California
Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with
respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
12.5. THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED
UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR
HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE
PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR
IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LENDER DOCUMENTS.
13. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.
13.1. Assignments and Participations.
(a) With the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent of Borrower shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required (1) if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and (2) in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a
Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) of a Lender and with the prior written consent of
Agent, which consent of Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall
not be required in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate
(other than individuals) of a Lender, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees
(each, an “Assignee”; provided, however, that no Loan Party or Affiliate of
a Loan Party shall be permitted to become an Assignee) all or any portion of the Obligations, the
Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, in a minimum amount (unless waived by Agent) of $5,000,000 (except such minimum amount
shall not apply to (x) an assignment or delegation by any Lender to any other Lender or an
Affiliate of any Lender or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate of each other
or a Related Fund of such new Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to all
such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000); provided, however, that Borrower and
Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so
assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment
instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to
Borrower and Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have
delivered to Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and Agent has notified the assigning
Lender of its receipt thereof in accordance with Section 13.1(b), and (iii) unless waived
by Agent, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a
processing fee in the amount of $3,500.
(b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assigning Lender (with a copy to Borrower)
that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and, if applicable, payment of the
required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and
(ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to
-44-
such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section
10.3) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto and thereto); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall
release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement,
including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 15 and Section 17.9(a).
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder
and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as
follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes
no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation
or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party
or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has
received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and
Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning
Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent,
by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto,
and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of
this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d) Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and
delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(b), this Agreement
shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the
addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The
Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro
tanto.
(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions,
or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its
Obligations, its Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the
“Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided,
however, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in
the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender
hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the
Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating
Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower,
Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in
connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the
Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or
waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final
maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce
the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is
participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the
extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations
hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the
amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender, or (E) change the
amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums, and (v) all
amounts payable by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan
-45-
Documents shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that,
if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or
shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant
shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts
owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were
owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be
derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no
Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct
rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrower, the Collections of Borrower or its Subsidiaries,
the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to
participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves.
(f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or
participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest
in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.9, disclose all
documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.
(g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a
security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this
Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal
Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce
such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.
(h) Agent (as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower) shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each
Lender as the registered owner of the Term Loan or the Advances, as applicable, (and the principal
amount thereof and stated interest thereon) held by such Lender (each, a “Registered
Loan”). Other than in connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its
portion of the Term Loan or Advances to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such
Lender (i) a Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned
or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and
each registered note shall expressly so provide) and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of
such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by
registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written
instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon,
at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in
the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s).
Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note,
if any evidencing the same), Borrower shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan
(and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the
purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. In the case of any assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its Term Loan or
Advances to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is
not recorded in the Register, the assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain a
register comparable to the Register.
(i) In the event that a Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan, such Lender, as a
non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of
all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). A
Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole
or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each
registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such
participation on the Participant Register.
(j) Agent shall make a copy of the Register (and each Lender shall make a copy of its
Participant Register in the extent it has one) available for review by Borrower from time to time
as Borrower may reasonably request.
-46-
13.2. Successors.
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of
each of the parties; provided, however, that no Loan Party a party hereto may
assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent
and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the
Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section
13.1 and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.1, no consent or approval
by any Loan Party is required in connection with any such assignment.
14. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.
14.1. Amendments and Waivers.
(a) No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document (other than Bank Product Agreements or the Fee Letter), and no consent with respect
to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and
Borrower and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such
waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders directly
affected thereby and Borrower, do any of the following:
(i) increase the amount of or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender,

payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan
Document,
(iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, any loan or other extension of
credit hereunder, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (except (y) in connection with the waiver of applicability of Section 2.6(c)
(which waiver shall be effective with the written consent of the Required Lenders), and (z) that
any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement
shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or a reduction of fees for purposes of
this clause (iii)),
(iv) amend or modify this Section or any provision of this Agreement providing for consent or
other action by all Lenders,
(v) other than as permitted by Section 15.11, release Agent’s Lien in and to any of
the Collateral,
(vi) change the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”,
(vii) contractually subordinate any of the Agent’s Liens,
(viii) other than in connection with a merger, liquidation, dissolution or sale of such Person
expressly permitted by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents, release Borrower or any
Guarantor from any obligation for the payment of money or consent to the assignment or transfer by
Borrower or any Guarantor of any of its rights or duties under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents,
(ix) amend any of the provisions of Section 2.4(b)(i) or (ii),
-47-
(x) amend Section 13.1(a) to permit a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party to be
permitted to become an Assignee, or
(xi) change the definition of Borrowing Base, Credit Amount or any of the defined terms that
are used in such definition to the extent that any such change results in more credit being made
available to Borrower based upon the Borrowing Base or the Credit Amount, but not otherwise, or the
definitions of Maximum Revolver Amount or Term Loan Amount.
(b) No amendment, waiver, modification, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive (i) the
definition of, or any of the terms or provisions of, the Fee Letter, without the written consent of
Agent and Borrower (and shall not require the written consent of any of the Lenders), and (ii) any
provision of Section 15 pertaining to Agent, or any other rights or duties of Agent under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of Agent, Borrower, and the
Required Lenders,
(c) No amendment, waiver, modification, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pertaining to Issuing Lender, or any other rights or
duties of Issuing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written
consent of Issuing Lender, Agent, Borrower, and the Required Lenders,
(d) No amendment, waiver, modification, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pertaining to Swing Lender, or any other rights or
duties of Swing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written
consent of Swing Lender, Agent, Borrower, and the Required Lenders,
(e) Anything in this Section 14.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, any amendment,
modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group
among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of Borrower, shall not require
consent by or the agreement of Borrower.
14.2. Replacement of Certain Lenders.
(a) If (i) any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the
unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders and if such action has received the
consent, authorization, or agreement of the Required Lenders but not all of the Lenders or (ii) any
Lender makes a claim for compensation under Section 16, then Borrower or Agent, upon at least 5
Business Days prior irrevocable notice, may permanently replace any Lender that failed to give its
consent, authorization, or agreement (a “Holdout Lender”) or made a claim for compensation
(a “Tax Lender”) with one or more Replacement Lenders, and the Holdout Lender or Tax
Lender, as applicable, shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to
replace the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall specify an effective date for such
replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is
given.
(b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement
Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender
being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (including an assumption of its Pro Rata
Share of the Letters of Credit) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the
Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior
to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and
delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in
accordance with the terms of Section 13.1. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders
shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations
of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain
obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
-48-
Advances and to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its
Pro Rata Share of such Letters of Credit.
14.3. No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies.
No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will
operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in
writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any
occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict
performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right
or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have.
15. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.
15.1. Appointment and Authorization of Agent.
Each Lender hereby designates and appoints WFF as its representative under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver
each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and
perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act
as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 15. Any provision to the
contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent
shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall
Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent; it being expressly
understood and agreed that the use of the word “Agent” is for convenience only, that WFF is merely
the representative of the Lenders, and only has the contractual duties set forth herein. Except as
expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion
with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or
refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent,
Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this
Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices,
ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or
similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of
claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances,
for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive,
apply, and distribute the Collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan
Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems
necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with
respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (f) perform,
exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to
Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur
and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance
and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.
15.2. Delegation of Duties.
Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or
through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters
-49-
pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
15.3. Liability of Agent.
None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent caused by its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital,
statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or
any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in
any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by
Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or for any failure of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan
Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be
under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance
of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or to inspect the books and records or properties of Borrower or its Subsidiaries.
15.4. Reliance by Agent.
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other
electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone 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
Borrower or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent.
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders
as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from
acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its
reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document in accordance with a request or consent of the requisite Lenders and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
15.5. Notice of Default or Event of Default.
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and
expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to
Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written
notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify the
Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual
knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly
shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely
responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 15.4,
Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested
by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9; provided, however,
that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable.
-50-
15.6. Credit Decision.
Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or
warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such due diligence,
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation
into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank
regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to
enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of
Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other
documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning
the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of
Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of
the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges that Agent does not have any duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is
expressly specified herein) to provide such Lender with any credit or other information with
respect to Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other
affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or
representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this
Agreement.
15.7. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.
Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary
or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations
pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys fees and expenses, fees and
expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by
outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or
insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrower is obligated to
reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is
authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the Collections of Borrower
and its Subsidiaries received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses
prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such
costs and expenses by Borrower or its Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall
be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related
Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of Borrower to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the
payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent
resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable
for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of
credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon
demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including
attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any
document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such
expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of
all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
-51-
15.8. Agent in Individual Capacity.
WFF and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept
deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though WFF were not Agent hereunder,
and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The
other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, WFF or its
Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates or any other Person party
to any Loan Document that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such
other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders
acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality
obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be
under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include
WFF in its individual capacity.
15.9. Successor Agent.
Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice
is waived by the Required Lenders) and Borrower (unless an Event of Default exists or such notice
is waived by Borrower). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be
entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a
successor Agent for the Lenders. If, at the time that Agent’s resignation is effective, it is
acting as the Issuing Lender or the Swing Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate
its resignation as the Issuing Lender or the Swing Lender, as applicable, and it shall
automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit or make Swing Loans.
If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent
may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor Agent. If Agent has
materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable
law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent
from among the Lenders with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the
consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In
any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor
Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term
“Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as
Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Section 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted
appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of
resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the
Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders
appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.
15.10. Lender in Individual Capacity.
Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the
account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though such Lender
were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group.
The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender
and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates or any
other Person party to any Loan Document that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of
Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders,
and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such
confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.
-52-
15.11. Collateral Matters.
(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion,
to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and
satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or
disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrower certifies
to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 or the other Loan
Documents (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry),
(iii) constituting property in which Borrower or its Subsidiaries owned no interest at the time
Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to
Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction
permitted under this Agreement. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the
instruction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or
more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by
Agent under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code,
at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of
the Bankruptcy Code, or at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by Agent (whether by judicial
action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law. Except as provided above, Agent will not
execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization
of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or
(z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Borrower at any time, the Lenders
will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of
Collateral pursuant to this Section 15.11; provided, however, that
(1) Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms
that, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any
consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and
(2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens
(other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of)
all interests retained by any Loan Party, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall
continue to constitute part of the Collateral. The Lenders further hereby irrevocably authorize
Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by
Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such
Permitted Lien secures Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness.
(b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the
Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or
insured or has been encumbered, or that Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or
lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or
to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity,
or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the
Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given
Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall
have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as
otherwise provided herein.
15.12. Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.
(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of
Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request
of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or its
Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of Borrower or its Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained
with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically
requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the
commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against Borrower or
any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of
the Collateral.
-53-
(b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure,
setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations,
except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all
such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to Agent, in kind,
and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately
available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the
Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to
the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the
Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that to the
extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it,
those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the
applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party,
but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in
connection with the recovery of the excess payment.
15.13. Agency for Perfection.
Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such
appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with
Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected by possession or control.
Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify
Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of
such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
15.14. Payments by Agent to the Lenders.
All payments to be made by Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer of
immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate
for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify
whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of
the Obligations.
15.15. Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents.
Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral
and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other
powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
15.16. Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other
Reports and Information.
By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:
(a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes
available, a copy of each field audit or examination report respecting Borrower or its Subsidiaries
(each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or at the request of
Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,
(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or
warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information
contained in any Report,
-54-
(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or
examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only
specific information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon
Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of Loan Parties’
personnel,
(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding Borrower
and its Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in
a confidential manner in accordance with Section 17.9, and
(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this
Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any
action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender
may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that
the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s
participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrower, and (ii)
to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a
Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and
other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender
preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or
part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.
In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing
that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Borrower or its
Subsidiaries to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Borrower or such Subsidiary
to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to
such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents,
to request additional reports or information from Borrower or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may,
from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s
notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrower the additional reports or
information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Borrower or such
Subsidiary, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent
renders to Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such
statement to each Lender.
15.17. Several Obligations; No Liability.
Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be
executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the
Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available
hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a
ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to
exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective
Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any
Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or
liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its
Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be
required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any
other Lender. Except as provided in Section 15.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have
any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible
to Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to
make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its behalf in connection with its
Commitment, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in connection with the
financing contemplated herein.
15.18. Co-Arranger.
Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Comerica Bank as Co-Arranger under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any
-55-
other Loan Document, Co-Arranger shall have no duties or responsibilities and shall not have
or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied responsibilities,
duties or obligations shall be construed to exist in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
16. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be
made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such payments will be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes, and in
the event any deduction or withholding of Taxes is required, Borrower shall comply with the next
sentence of this Section 16(a). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, Borrower agrees to
pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every
payment of all amounts due under any Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this
Section 16(a) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be
less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to
increase any such amounts if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent’s or such
Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction). Borrower will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment
of any Tax is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such
payment by Borrower.
(b) Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, value added or documentary taxes or
any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies that arise from any payment made
hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise
with respect to any Loan Document.
(c) If a Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption or reduction from United
States withholding tax, such Lender or Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to
Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) one of the
following before receiving its first payment under this Agreement:
(i) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from United States
withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement of the Lender or
Participant, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of Borrower (within the meaning of Section
871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower within the
meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN
or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments);
(ii) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from, or a reduction of,
withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS
Form W-8BEN;
(iii) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under any Loan
Document is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a
United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form
W-8ECI;
(iv) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under any Loan
Document is exempt from United States withholding tax because such Lender or Participant serves as
an intermediary, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (with proper
attachments); or
(v) a properly completed and executed copy of any other form or forms, including IRS Form W-9,
as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption
from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup withholding tax.
Each Lender or Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or
obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a
Participant, to the Lender
-56-
granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render
invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
(d) If a Lender or Participant claims an exemption from withholding tax in a jurisdiction
other than the United States, such Lender or such Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to
deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only)
any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to
exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its
first payment under this Agreement, but only if such Lender or such Participant is legally able to
deliver such forms, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 16(d) shall
require a Lender or Participant to disclose any information that it deems to be confidential
(including without limitation, its tax returns). Each Lender and each Participant shall provide
new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered
forms and to promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the
participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction.
(e) If a Lender or Participant claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and
such Lender or Participant sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or
part of the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender or Participant, such Lender or Participant
agrees to notify Agent (or, in the case of a sale of a participation interest, to the Lender
granting the participation only) of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial
owner of Obligations of Borrower to such Lender or Participant. To the extent of such percentage
amount, Agent will treat such Lender’s or such Participant’s documentation provided pursuant to
Section 16(c) or 16(d) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount,
such Participant or Assignee may provide new documentation, pursuant to Section 16(c) or
16(d), if applicable. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Section 16 with respect to its participation in any portion of the
Commitments and the Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the obligations set forth
in this Section 16 with respect thereto; provided that Borrower shall not be
required to pay any amount under this Section 16 with respect to any participation that is
greater than the amount Borrower would have had to pay under this Section 16 to the Lender
who had transferred such participation.
(f) If a Lender or a Participant is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax,
Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold
from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant an amount equivalent to the applicable
withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation
required by Section 16(c) or 16(d) are not delivered to Agent (or, in the case of a
Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), then Agent (or, in the case of a
Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to
such Lender or such Participant not providing such forms or other documentation an amount
equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.
(g) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction
asserts a claim that Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the
participation) did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender
or any Participant due to a failure on the part of the Lender or any Participant (because the
appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to
notify Agent (or such Participant failed to notify the Lender granting the participation) of a
change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax
ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless (or, in
the case of a Participant, such Participant shall indemnify and hold the Lender granting the
participation harmless) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent (or, in the case of
a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), as tax or otherwise, including penalties
and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent
(or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) under this
Section 16, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses).
The obligation of the Lenders and the Participants under this subsection shall survive the payment
of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
-57-
(h) If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of
any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16, so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 16 with respect to Taxes
giving rise to such a refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such a refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by
the relevant Governmental Authority, other than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed
as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent hereunder) to Agent or such
Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 16 shall not
be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other
information which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
17. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
17.1. Effectiveness.
This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Borrower, Agent, and
each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof.
17.2. Section Headings.
Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is
compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire
Agreement.
17.3. Interpretation.
Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the
Lender Group or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary,
this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to
the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of
all parties hereto.
17.4. Severability of Provisions.
Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this
Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
17.5. Bank Product Providers.
Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the
provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the
parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby agrees to act as a non-fiduciary agent for such
Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of providing a Bank Product, each Bank Product Provider shall
be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its non-fiduciary agent; it being understood and
agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist
exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests
(and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Agent and the right to share in payments and
collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In connection with any such
distribution of payments and collections, Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due and
payable to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has notified Agent in
writing of the amount that is due and payable to it prior to such distribution.
-58-
17.6. Debtor-Creditor Relationship.
The relationship between the Lenders and Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the
other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be
deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in
connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency
or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the
Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated
therein.
17.7. Counterparts; Electronic Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on
separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an
original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method
of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of
this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or
other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this
Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the
validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each
other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.
17.8. Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations.
If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by Borrower or Guarantor or the transfer to
the Lender Group of any property should for any reason subsequently be asserted, or declared, to be
void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions
of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or
recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), and
if the Lender Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable
Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such
Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or
restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related
thereto, the liability of Borrower or Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and
restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.
17.9. Confidentiality.
(a) Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that
material, non-public information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries, their operations, assets,
and existing and contemplated business plans (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated
by Agent and the Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the
Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other
advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of the Lender Group (“Lender
Group Representatives”), (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group
(including the Bank Product Providers), provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have
agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.9,
(iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the
confidential nature of such information, (iv) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial
or administrative order, rule, or regulation; provided that (x) prior to any disclosure under this
clause (iv), the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrower with prior notice thereof, to the
extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to
provide such prior notice to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the applicable statute, decision, or
judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation and (y) any disclosure under this clause (iv)
shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such statute,
decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (v) as may be agreed to in
advance by Borrower or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any
subpoena or other legal process, provided, that, (x) prior to any disclosure under this
clause (v) the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrower
-59-
with prior notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent
that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to Borrower pursuant to the
terms of the subpoena or other legal process and (y) any disclosure under this clause (v) shall be
limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such governmental
authority pursuant to such subpoena or other legal process, (vi) as to any such information that is
or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by
Agent or the Lenders or the Lender Group Representatives), (vii) in connection with any assignment,
participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that any such
assignee, participant, or pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such information
hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, (viii) in connection with any litigation or other
adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding
involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents; provided, that, prior to any disclosure to any Person (other than any Loan Party,
Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel) under this
clause (viii) with respect to litigation involving any Person (other than Borrower, Agent, any
Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel), the disclosing party
agrees to provide Borrower with prior notice thereof, and (ix) in connection with, and to the
extent reasonably necessary for, the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement
or under any other Loan Document.
(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent may provide information
concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan
syndication and pricing reporting services.
17.10. Lender Group Expenses.
Borrower agrees to pay any and all Lender Group Expenses promptly after demand therefore by
Agent and agrees that its obligations contained in this Section 17.10 shall survive payment
or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.
17.11. USA PATRIOT Act.
Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrower
that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower
and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the
Patriot Act.
17.12. Integration.
This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of
the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or
qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.
