SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is made on August 1, 2007, by and among INSIGHT HEALTH CORP. (in its capacity as Borrower and in its capacity as the representative of the other Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.4, “IHC”), a Delaware corporation; those affiliates of IHC listed on the signature pages hereof (IHC, together with each of such affiliates and certain other wholly-owned domestic Subsidiaries of InSight Health that may from time to time be added as borrowers hereunder in accordance with Section 4.6 of this Agreement, being referred to collectively as “Borrowers” and individually as a “Borrower”); the various financial institutions listed on the signature pages hereof (together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, the “Lenders”); and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national bank (“BofA”), in its capacity as collateral and administrative agent for the Lenders pursuant to Section 13 (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in Section 1.
R e c i t a l s:
InSight Health Services Corporation (“InSight Health”), as a borrower, Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in the below defined Initial Credit Agreement), Parent, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent, and The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc., as Documentation Agent, entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 17, 2001 (as at any time amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Initial Credit Agreement”).
InSight Health, as a borrower, Parent, Subsidiary Guarantors, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, also entered into that certain Security Agreement dated as of October 17, 2001 (as at any time amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Initial Security Agreement”).
InSight Health, as a borrower, the other Borrowers, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and as sole Lender, entered into that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 22, 2005 (as at any time amended, modified, supplemented or restated prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the Initial Credit Agreement and superseded the Initial Security Agreement. Pursuant to certain amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement, InSight Health has become a Guarantor instead of a borrower, and IHC has become the Borrower Agent (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement).
On May 29, 2007 (the “Petition Date”), InSight Health and Parent (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Debtors”) filed petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), commencing cases styled In re InSight Health Services Corp., Case No. 07-10701-BLS, and In re InSight Health Services Holdings Corp., Case No. 07-10700-BLS (each, a “Chapter 11 Case,” and collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”).
In connection with confirmation of the Chapter 11 Plan filed by the Chapter 11 Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Chapter 11 Debtors and Borrowers have requested that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended and restated to make available an amended and restated credit facility in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein.
Each Borrower has requested that Lenders make available a revolving credit and letter of credit facility to Borrowers, which shall be used by Borrowers to finance their mutual and collective enterprise of the provision of diagnostic imaging services through an integrated network of fixed-site centers and
mobile facilities. In order to utilize the financial powers of each Borrower in the most efficient and economical manner, and in order to facilitate the financing of each Borrower’s needs, Lenders will, at the request of any Borrower, make loans to all Borrowers under the revolving credit facility on a combined basis and in accordance with the provisions hereinafter set forth. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise and Borrowers believe that the consolidation of all revolving credit loans under this Agreement will enhance the aggregate borrowing powers of each Borrower and ease the administration of their revolving credit loan relationship with Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers. Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer each Borrower’s collateral security therefor, on a combined basis as more fully set forth in this Agreement, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request in furtherance of Borrowers’ mutual and collective enterprise.
Each Borrower has agreed to be jointly and severally liable for loans and all other outstanding obligations under this Agreement and to guarantee the obligations of each of the other Borrowers under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents. Each Guarantor has agreed to jointly and severally guaranty the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (as defined below).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers hereunder, for good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to be bound hereby, agree as follows:

Each Lender agrees, severally to the extent of its Revolver Commitment and not jointly with the other Lenders, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to Borrowers on any Business Day during the period from the Post-Confirmation Effective Date through the Business Day before the last day of the Term, not to exceed in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time such Lender’s Revolver Commitment at such time, which Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Lenders shall have no obligation to Borrowers whatsoever to honor any request for a Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date or if at the time of the proposed funding thereof the aggregate principal amount of all of the Revolver Loans then outstanding (including Swingline Loans) and Pending Revolver Loans exceeds, or would exceed after the funding of such Revolver Loan, the Borrowing Base. Each Borrowing of Revolver Loans shall be funded by Lenders on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolver Commitments (except for BofA with respect to Swingline Loans). The Revolver Loans shall bear interest as set forth in Section 3.1. Each Revolver Loan shall, at the option of Borrowers, be made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or more Borrowings that, unless specifically provided herein, shall consist entirely of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans.
2.1.2. Out-of-Formula Loans. If the unpaid balance of Revolver Loans outstanding at any time should exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (an “Out-of-Formula Condition”), such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and entitled to all of the benefits of the Loan Documents. In the event that Lenders are willing in their discretion to make Out-of-Formula Loans or are required to do so by Section 13.9.4, such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable within 2 Business Days of demand and shall bear interest as provided in Section 3.1.5 or as otherwise agreed among Administrative Agent, Borrowers and Lenders.
39
2.1.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely for one or more of the following purposes: (i) to pay any of the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (ii) to make expenditures for other lawful corporate purposes of Borrowers to the extent such expenditures are not prohibited by this Agreement or Applicable Law. In no event may any Revolver Loan proceeds be used by any Borrower (iii) to purchase or to carry, or to reduce, retire or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or carry, any Margin Stock or for any related purpose that violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors, or (iv) to fund any operations or finance any investments or activities in, or to make payments to, a Blocked Person.
2.1.4. Revolver Notes. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Administrative Agent and such Lender and by the Revolver Note payable to such Lender (or the assignee of such Lender), which shall be executed by Borrowers, completed in conformity with this Agreement and delivered to such Lender. All outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest under the Revolver Notes shall be due and payable as set forth in Section 5.2.
2.1.5. Voluntary Reductions of Revolver Commitments. Borrowers shall have the right to permanently reduce the amount of the Revolver Commitments, on a Pro Rata basis for each Lender, at any time and from time to time upon written notice to Administrative Agent of such reduction, which notice shall specify the amount of such reduction, shall be irrevocable once given, shall be given at least 5 Business Days prior to the requested reduction. Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit such notice to each Lender. If on the effective date of any such reduction in the Revolver Commitments and after giving effect thereto an Out-of-Formula Condition exists, then the provisions of Section 5.2.1(iii) shall apply, except that such repayment shall be due immediately upon such effective date without further notice to or demand upon Borrowers. If the Commitments are reduced to zero, then such reduction shall be deemed a termination of the Commitments by Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.2.2. The Revolver Commitments, once reduced, may not be reinstated without the written consent of all Lenders.
2.2. Reserved.
2.3. LC Facility.
2.3.1. Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, Issuing Bank agrees to establish the LC Facility pursuant to which, during the period from the date hereof to the last day of the Term, Issuing Bank shall issue one or more Letters of Credit on Administrative Agent’s request therefor from time to time, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuing Bank’s receipt of (A) an LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit and (B) such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require for the issuance of a letter of credit of equivalent type and amount as the requested Letter of Credit. Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (x) Issuing Bank receives an LC Request and LC Application at least 3 Business Days prior to the date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, and (y) each of the LC Conditions is satisfied on the date of Issuing Bank’s receipt of the LC Request and at the time of the requested issuance of a Letter of Credit.
(ii) Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower only if they are to be used (a) to support obligations of such Borrower incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Borrower, on a standby basis, or (b) for such other purposes as Administrative Agent and Lenders may approve from time to time in writing.
40
(iii) Borrowers shall comply with all of the terms and conditions imposed on Borrowers by Issuing Bank that are contained in any LC Application or in any other agreement customarily or reasonably required by Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit. If Issuing Bank shall honor any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Issuing Bank, in Dollars on the same day as the date on which payment was made by Issuing Bank (the “Reimbursement Date”), an amount equal to the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit (or, if payment thereunder was made by Issuing Bank in a currency other than Dollars, an amount equal to the Dollar equivalent of such currency, as determined by Issuing Bank, as of the time of Issuing Bank’s payment under such Letter of Credit, in each case), together with interest from and after the Reimbursement Date until Full Payment is made by Borrowers at the Default Rate for Revolver Loans constituting Base Rate Loans. Until Issuing Bank has received payment from Borrowers in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause (iii), Issuing Bank, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement and any LC Application, shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary under such Letter of Credit whose claims against Borrowers have been discharged with the proceeds of such Letter of Credit. Whether or not a Borrower submits any Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested from Lenders a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay to Issuing Bank all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not any Default or Event of Default has occurred or exists, the Commitments have been terminated, the funding of the Borrowing would result in (or increase the amount of) any Out-of-Formula Condition, or any of the conditions set forth in Section 11 are not satisfied.
(iv) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and joint and several and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit shall be in addition to, and cumulative with, all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Issuing Bank under any of the LC Documents. Nothing herein shall be deemed to release Issuing Bank from any liability or obligation that it may have in respect to any Letter of Credit arising out of and directly resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(v) No Letter of Credit shall be extended or amended in any respect that is not solely ministerial, unless all of the LC Conditions are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.
(vi) Unless otherwise provided in any of the LC Documents, each LC Application and each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce No. 500, and any amendments or revisions thereto.
41
2.3.2. Participations.
(i) Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to the Pro Rata share of such Lender (a “Participating Lender”) in all LC Obligations arising in connection with such Letter of Credit, but in no event greater than an amount which, when added to such Lender’s Pro Rata share of all Revolver Loans and LC Obligations then outstanding, exceeds such Lender’s Revolver Commitment; provided, however, that if Issuing Bank shall have received written notice from a Lender on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the date of Issuing Bank’s issuance of a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 11 or Section 2.3.1 has not been satisfied, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn in writing by that Lender or until the Required Lenders shall have effectively waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. In no event shall Issuing Bank be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any existence of any Default or Event of Default or the failure of any conditions in Sections 11 or 2.3.1 to be satisfied prior to its receipt of such notice from a Lender.
(ii) If Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Letter of Credit and Borrowers do not repay or cause to be repaid the amount of such payment on the Reimbursement Date, Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participating Lender, of such payment and each Participating Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 1 Business Day after its receipt of notice from Administrative Agent) and unconditionally pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment, and Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to Issuing Bank. If a Participating Lender does not make its Pro Rata share of the amount of such payment available to Administrative Agent on a timely basis as herein provided, such Participating Lender agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand, such amount together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate until paid. The failure of any Participating Lender to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata share of the LC Obligations shall not relieve any other Participating Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata share of the LC Obligations. No Participating Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participating Lender to make available to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata share of the LC Obligations on the date such payment is to be made.
(iii) Whenever Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of the LC Obligations, including any interest thereon, as to which Administrative Agent has previously received payments from any Participating Lender for the account of Issuing Bank, Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Participating Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata share thereof.
(iv) The obligation of each Participating Lender to make payments to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank in connection with Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances and irrespective of whether or not Borrowers may assert or have any claim for any lack of validity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; the existence of any Default or Event of Default;
42
any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; the existence of any setoff or defense any Obligor may have with respect to any of the Obligations; or the termination of the Commitments.
(v) Neither Issuing Bank nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Participating Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with any of the LC Documents except as a result of actual gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank. Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or breach by a Borrower or any other Person of its obligations under any of the LC Documents. Issuing Bank does not make to Participating Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, the LC Documents, or any Obligor. Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to any Participating Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of or any of the LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any of the Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or any Account Debtor. In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any of the LC Documents, Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting upon, any certification, notice or other communication in whatever form believed by Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts and to advise it concerning its rights, powers and privileges under the LC Documents and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to the LC Documents and shall not be liable for the negligence, default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Issuing Bank with reasonable care. Issuing Bank shall not have any liability to any Participating Lender by reason of Issuing Bank’s refraining to take any action under any of the LC Documents without having first received written instructions from the Required Lenders to take such action.
(vi) Upon the request of any Participating Lender, Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Participating Lender copies (to the extent then available to Issuing Bank) of each outstanding Letter of Credit and related LC Documents as may be in the possession of Issuing Bank and reasonably requested from time to time by such Participating Lender.
2.3.3. Cash Collateral Account. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding (i) at any time that an Event of Default exists, (ii) on any date that Availability is less than zero or (iii) on or at any time after the Commitment Termination Date, then Borrowers shall, on Issuing Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s request, forthwith pay to Issuing Bank the amount of any LC Obligations that are then due and payable and shall, upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i) and (iii) hereinabove, Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit or deliver to Administrative Agent a Supporting LC in a face amount equal to 104% of the aggregate Undrawn Amounts of such Letters of Credit. If notwithstanding the occurrence of one or more of the events described in clauses (i) and (iii) in the immediately preceding sentence Borrowers fail to Cash Collateralize, or provide a Supporting LC as provided hereinabove with respect to, any outstanding Letters of Credit on the first Business Day following Administrative Agent’s or Issuing Bank’s demand therefor, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Administrative Agent) advance such amount as Revolver Loans (whether or not the Commitment Termination Date has occurred or an Out-of-Formula Condition is created thereby). Such cash (together with any interest accrued thereon) shall be held by
43
Administrative Agent in the Cash Collateral Account and may be invested, in Administrative Agent’s discretion, in Cash Equivalents. Each Borrower hereby pledges to Administrative Agent and grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in, for the benefit of Administrative Agent in such capacity and for the Pro Rata Benefit of Lenders, all Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all Obligations (including LC Obligations), whether or not then due or payable. From time to time after cash is deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as Administrative Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by Borrowers to Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the LC Obligations. Neither Borrowers nor any other Person claiming by, through or under or on behalf of Borrowers shall have any right to withdraw any of the Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account, including any accrued interest, provided that upon termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the payment and satisfaction of all of the LC Obligations, any Cash Collateral remaining in the Cash Collateral Account (plus accrued interest thereon, if any)shall be returned to Borrowers unless an Event of Default then exists (in which event Administrative Agent may apply such Cash Collateral to the payment of any other Obligations outstanding and, to the extent so applied, such Cash Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.6, with any surplus to be turned over to Borrowers).
2.3.4. Indemnifications
(i) In addition to and without limiting any other indemnity which Borrowers may have to any Indemnitees under any of the Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and defend each of the Indemnitees and to hold each of the Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Claims which any Indemnitee may suffer, incur or be subject to as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of (a) the issuance of, payment or failure to pay or any performance or failure to perform under any Letter of Credit, (b) any suit, investigation or proceeding as to which Administrative Agent or any Lender is or may become a party to as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or the payment or failure to pay thereunder or (c) Issuing Bank following any instructions of a Borrower with respect to any Letter of Credit or any Document received by Issuing Bank with reference to any Letter of Credit. The foregoing indemnity obligations of Borrowers are subject to the provisions of Section 15.3 hereof.
(ii) Each Participating Lender agrees to indemnify and defend each of the Issuing Bank Indemnitees (to the extent the Issuing Bank Indemnitees are not reimbursed by Borrowers or any other Obligor, but without limiting the indemnification obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement), to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Revolver Commitments, from and against any and all Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Issuing Bank Indemnitees in any way related to or arising out of Issuing Bank’s administration or enforcement of rights or remedies under any of the LC Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby (including costs and expenses which Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 15.2).
2.4. Bank Products. Borrowers may request BofA to provide, or to arrange for one or more of its Affiliates to provide, Bank Products, but BofA shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide, or to arrange for the provision of, any Bank Products. If Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of BofA under any of the Loan Documents, Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold Administrative Agent, BofA and Lenders harmless from and against any and all Claims at any time incurred by Administrative Agent, BofA or any Lenders that arise from any indemnity given to such Affiliates that relate to such Bank Products. Borrowers acknowledge that obtaining Bank Products from BofA or BofA’s Affiliates hereunder is in the discretion of BofA or BofA’s Affiliates and is subject to all rules and regulations of BofA or BofA’s Affiliates that are applicable to such Bank Products.
44
SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES
3.1. Interest.
3.1.1. Rates of Interest. Borrowers agree to pay interest in respect of all unpaid principal amounts of the Revolver Loans from the respective dates such principal amounts are advanced until paid (whether at stated maturity, on acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate indicated below:
(i) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as Base Rate Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time; or
(ii) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as LIBOR Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period selected by Borrowers in conformity with this Agreement.
Upon determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone and, if so requested by Borrowers, confirm the same in writing. Such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on all parties and for all purposes. The applicable rate of interest for all Loans (or portions thereof) bearing interest based upon the Base Rate shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Base Rate, with such adjustments to be effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Base Rate becomes effective. Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date on which such Loan is made, converted to a Loan of another Type or continued as a LIBOR Loan to (but excluding) the date of any repayment thereof; provided, however, that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day’s interest shall be paid on such Loan.
3.1.2. Conversions and Continuations.
(i) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to the giving of a proper Notice of Conversion/Continuation as hereinafter described, elect (A) to continue all or any part of a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period therefor, to commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period, or (B) to convert all or any part of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, during the period that any Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may (and shall at the direction of the Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made or continued as or converted into a LIBOR Loan. Any conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Any conversion or continuation made with respect to less than the entire outstanding balance of the Loans must be allocated among Lenders on a Pro Rata basis and the Interest Period for Loans converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans shall be coterminous for each Lender.
(ii) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans under Section 3.1.2(i), Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), signed by an authorized officer of Borrower Agent, at least 1 Business Day before the requested conversion date, in the case of a conversion into Base Rate
45
Loans, and at least 3 Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of the proposed conversion or continuation. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be converted or continued, the date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day) and whether the Loans are being converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans (and, if so, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto and, in the absence of any specification by Borrowers of the Interest Period, an Interest Period of one month will be deemed to be specified) or Base Rate Loans. If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver the Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans.
3.1.3. Interest Periods. In connection with the making or continuation of, or conversion into, each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which interest period shall commence on the date such LIBOR Loan is made and shall end on a numerically corresponding day in the first, second, third or sixth month thereafter; provided, however, that:
(i) the initial Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Loan of another Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Revolver Loan shall commence on the date on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;
(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that, if any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;
(iii) any Interest Period that begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month; and
(iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the last day of the Term.
3.1.4. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) that on any date for determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market or any Lender’s position in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate, then, and in any such event, Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to Borrowers of such determination. Until Administrative Agent notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist (which Administrative Agent agrees to do promptly after such circumstance no longer exists, the obligation of Lenders to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and such affected Loans then outstanding shall, at the end of the then applicable Interest Period or at such earlier time as may be required by Applicable Law, bear the same interest as Base Rate Loans.
46
3.1.5. Default Rate of Interest. Borrowers shall pay interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (i) with respect to any portion of the principal amount of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due interest) that is not paid on the due date thereof (whether due at stated maturity, on demand, upon acceleration or otherwise) until Full Payment thereof; (ii) with respect to the principal amount of all of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due interest) upon the earlier to occur of (x) Borrower Agent’s receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of the Required Lenders’ election to charge the Default Rate based upon the existence of any Event of Default under Section 10.3 (which notice Administrative Agent shall send only with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders), whether or not acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations has been made, or (y) the commencement by or against any Borrower of an Insolvency Proceeding whether or not under the circumstances described in clauses (i) or (ii) hereof Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity or demand payment of any of the Obligations; and (iii) with respect to the principal amount of any Out-of-Formula Loans (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Required Lenders), whether or not demand for payment thereof has been made by Administrative Agent. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Default Rate shall apply and accrue on any judgment entered with respect to any of the Obligations and to the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations during any Insolvency Proceeding of a Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Administrative Agent and each Lender attendant upon the occurrence of an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain or estimate and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Administrative Agent and Lenders for such added cost and expense. Interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.
3.2. Fees. In consideration of Lenders’ establishment of the Commitments in favor of Borrowers, and Administrative Agent’s agreement to serve as collateral and administrative agent hereunder, Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay the following fees:
3.2.1. Closing Fee. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata Benefit of the Initial Lender, a closing fee in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter, which shall be paid on the Post-Confirmation Effective Date.
3.2.2. Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Administrative Agent, monthly in arrears on the first day of each month (commencing September 1, 2007), for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin for the Unused Line Fee divided by 360 days and multiplied by the number of days in the immediately preceding month and then multiplied by the amount by which the Average Revolver Loan Balance for such immediately preceding month (or portion of such month that the Commitments are in effect) is less than the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments; but if the Commitments are terminated on a day other than the last day of a month, then any such Unused Line Fee payable for such month in which termination shall occur shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. The Unused Line Fee shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable when due and payable.
3.2.3. LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay: (a)(i) to Administrative Agent for the Pro Rata account of each Lender for all Letters of Credit, the Applicable Margin in effect for Revolver Loans that are LIBOR Loans on a per annum basis based on the average amount available to be drawn under Letters of Credit outstanding and all Letters of Credit that are paid or expire during the period of measurement, payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the following month; (ii) to Issuing Bank for its own account a Letter of Credit fronting fee of .125% per annum based upon the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued during the period of measurement, payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the following month; and (iii) to Issuing Bank for its own account all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing and administration of all Letters of Credit. All Letter of Credit fees that are expressed as a percentage shall be increased to a percentage that is 2% greater than the percentage that would otherwise be applicable to Revolver Loans when the Default Rate is in effect.
47
3.2.4. Audit and Appraisal Fees and Expenses. Borrowers shall reimburse Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with examinations and reviews of any Obligor’s books and records up to 2 times per Loan Year unless an Event of Default exists (in which event, there shall be no limit on the number of examinations and reviews for which Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse Administrative Agent) and, in each case, shall pay to Administrative Agent the standard amount charged by Administrative Agent per day ($850 per day as of the Post-Confirmation Effective Date) for each day that an employee or agent of Administrative Agent shall be engaged in an examination or review of any Obligor’s books and records. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit Administrative Agent’s right to conduct audits as provided in Section 10.1.1.
3.2.5. Agency Fee. In consideration of BofA’s service as Administrative Agent hereunder, Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Administrative Agent an administration fee in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter, which shall be paid on the Post-Confirmation Effective Date and thereafter on each anniversary of the Post-Confirmation Effective Date.
3.2.6. General Provisions. All fees shall be fully earned by the identified recipient thereof pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement on the due date thereof (and, in the case of Letters of Credit, upon each issuance, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit) and, except as otherwise set forth herein or required by Applicable Law, shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees provided for in Section 3.2 are and shall be deemed to be compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money.
3.3. Computation of Interest and Fees. All fees and other charges provided for in this Agreement that are calculated as a per annum percentage of any amount and all interest shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. For purposes of computing interest and other charges hereunder, each Payment Item and other form of payment received by Administrative Agent (with the date of such receipt to be governed by Section 5.7) shall be deemed applied by Administrative Agent and Lenders on account of the Obligations (subject to final payment of such items) on the Business Day on which Administrative Agent receives collected funds in the Payment Account, and Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have received such Payment Item on the date specified in Section 5.7. Each determination by Administrative Agent of interest and fees hereunder shall be presumptive evidence of the correctness of such interest and fees.
3.4. Reimbursement Obligations.
3.4.1. Borrowers shall reimburse Administrative Agent and Lenders for any Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender, on the sooner to occur of Administrative Agent’s demand therefor or Administrative Agent’s receipt of any proceeds of Collateral in connection with any Enforcement Action (subject to the provisions of Section 5.6 with respect to the application of any proceeds of Collateral). Borrowers shall also reimburse Administrative Agent for all legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting and other fees and expenses suffered or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with: (i) the negotiation and preparation (and internal legal review) of any of the Loan Documents, any amendment or modification thereto; (ii) the administration of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby; (iii) action taken to perfect or maintain the perfection or priority of any of Administrative Agent’s Liens with respect to any of the Collateral; (iv) any inspection of or audits conducted by Administrative Agent with respect to any Obligor’s books and records in accordance with Section 3.2.4; (v) any effort by Administrative Agent to verify or appraise any of the Collateral; and (vi) its participation in or monitoring of the Chapter 11 Cases. All amounts chargeable to or reimbursable by Borrowers under this Section 3.4 shall constitute Obligations that are

secured by all of the Collateral and shall be payable on demand to Administrative Agent. Borrowers shall also reimburse Administrative Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in its administration of any of the Collateral to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 8 or in any of the other Loan Documents. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting on financial statements or a Compliance Certificate), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other provision of the Loan Documents regarding the indemnification or reimbursement by Borrowers of Claims suffered or incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section shall constitute Obligations that are secured by all of the Collateral and shall be due on demand to Administrative Agent.
3.4.2. If at any time Lender shall agree to indemnify any Person against losses or damages that such Person may suffer or incur in its dealings or transactions with Borrowers, or shall guarantee or otherwise assure payment of any liability or obligation of Borrowers to such Person, or otherwise shall provide assurances of Borrowers’ payment or performance under any agreement with such Person, including indemnities, guaranties or other assurances of payment or performance given by Lender with respect to Banking Relationship Debt, then the Contingent Obligation of Lender providing any such indemnity, guaranty or other assurance of payment or performance, together with any payment made or liability incurred by Lender in connection therewith, shall constitute Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and Borrowers shall repay, on demand, any amount so paid or any liability incurred by Lender in connection with any such indemnity, guaranty, or assurance. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose upon Lender any obligation to provide any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance. The foregoing agreement of Borrowers shall apply whether or not such indemnity, guaranty or assurance is in writing or oral, provided that Administrative Agent provides Borrower’s with notice of the existence thereof, shall survive termination of the Commitment and Full Payment of the Obligations and any other provisions of the Loan Documents regarding reimbursement or indemnification by Borrowers of Claims suffered or incurred by Lender.
3.5. Bank Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, any and all fees, costs or expenses which Administrative Agent pays to a bank or other similar institution (including any fees paid by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Participant) arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to a Borrower or any other Person on behalf of Borrower by Administrative Agent of proceeds of Loans made by Lenders to a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the depositing for collection by Administrative Agent of any Payment Item received or delivered to Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent may charge such costs, fees and expenses to Borrowers based upon Administrative Agent’s good faith estimate of such costs, fees and expenses as they are incurred by Administrative Agent.
3.6. Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (i) any change after the date hereof in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a LIBOR Loan or (ii) at any time such Lender determines that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market, then such Lender shall give after such determination Administrative Agent and Borrowers notice thereof and may thereafter (1) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender, whereupon any request by a Borrower for a LIBOR Loan from such Lender shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate
49
Loan unless such Lender’s declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (which declaration shall be withdrawn promptly after the cessation of the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above); and (2) require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans, under the circumstances of clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.6 insofar as such Lender determines the continuance of LIBOR Loans to be impracticable, in which event all such LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans as of the date of any Borrower’s receipt of the aforesaid notice from such Lender.
3.7. Increased Costs. If, by reason of (a) the introduction after the date hereof or any change after the date hereof (including any change by way of imposition or increase of Statutory Reserves or other reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, or (b) the compliance after the date hereof with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-Governmental Authority exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law):
(i) any Lender shall be subject after the date hereof to any Tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan or Letter of Credit or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or to issue Letters of Credit or to participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit, or a change shall result in the basis of taxation of payment to Lender of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loan, issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit (except for Excluded Taxes); or
(ii) any reserve (including any imposed by the Board of Governors), special deposits or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans or Letters of Credit or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or to issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising form the issuance of Letters of Credit shall be imposed on such Lender or the London interbank market;
and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Loans or issuing Letters of Credit (except to the extent already included in the determination of the applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Loans), or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender, then such Lender shall, promptly after determining the existence or amount of any such increased costs for which such Lender seeks payment hereunder, give any Borrower notice thereof and Borrowers shall from time to time, upon written notice from and demand by such Lender (with a copy of such notice and demand to Administrative Agent), pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, within 5 Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand, an additional amount sufficient to indemnify such Lender against such increased costs. A certificate as to the amount of such increased costs (and setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), submitted to Borrowers by such Lender, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
If any Lender shall advise Administrative Agent at any time that, because of the circumstances described hereinabove in this Section 3.7 or any other circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender or the London interbank market or such Lender’s position in such market, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as determined by Administrative Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding LIBOR Loans or issuing Letters of Credit, then, and in any such event:
50
(i) Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed promptly in writing) to Borrowers and Lenders of such event;
(ii) Borrowers’ right to request and such Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Loans or to issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit shall be immediately suspended and Borrowers’ right to continue a LIBOR Loan as such beyond the then applicable Interest Period or to request a Letter of Credit shall also be suspended, until each condition giving rise to such suspension no longer exists; and
(iii) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of the requested Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.
For purposes of this Section 3.7, all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender. If any Lender provides notice that, due to the circumstances described in this Section 3.7, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding LIBOR Loans or participating in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit, then such Lender may be replaced pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.17.
3.8. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that (i) the introduction after the date hereof of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change after the date hereof in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance after the date hereof by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s or other entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then: (a) Administrative Agent shall promptly, after its receipt of a certificate from such Lender setting forth such Lender’s determination of such occurrence, give notice thereof to Borrowers and Lenders; and (b) Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, as an additional fee from time to time, on demand, such amount as such Lender certifies to be the amount reasonably calculated to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate of such Lender claiming entitlement to compensation as set forth above will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate will set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation, the additional amount or amounts to be paid to such Lender (including the basis for Lender’s determination of such amount), and the method by which such amounts were determined. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method. For purposes of this Section 3.8 all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender.
51
3.9. Mitigation. Each Lender agrees that, with reasonable promptness after such Lender becomes aware that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8, or is or has become subject to U.S. withholding taxes payable by any Borrower in respect of its Loans, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with any internal policy of such Lender or any applicable legal or regulatory restriction, (i) use all reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans of such Lender through another lending office of such Lender or (ii) take such other reasonable measures, if, as a result thereof, the circumstances which would relieve Borrowers from their obligations to pay such additional amounts (or reduce the amount of such payments), or such withholding taxes would be reduced, and if the making, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loans through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitment or Loans or the interests of such Lender.
3.10. Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than due to a default by Lender or as a result of a Lender’s refusal to honor a LIBOR Loan request due to circumstances described in this Agreement) a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, LIBOR Loans does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), or if any repayment (including any conversions pursuant to Section 3.1.2) of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if for any reason Borrowers default in their obligation to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement, then Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Administrative Agent an administrative fee of $150 and to each Lender an amount equal to all losses and expenses (other than loss of profit) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence thereof, including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrowers shall pay all such amounts due to any Lender upon presentation by such Lender of a statement setting forth the amount and such Lender’s calculation thereof, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error. For purposes of this Section 3.10, all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender.
3.11. Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under Applicable Law exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law. No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the exercise by Administrative Agent of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any option whatsoever contained in any of the Loan Documents, or the prepayment by Borrowers of any of the Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle Administrative Agent or any Lender to charge or receive in any event, interest or any charges, amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by Applicable Law (such interest, charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to herein collectively as “Interest”) in excess of the Maximum Rate, and in no event shall Borrowers be obligated to pay Interest exceeding such Maximum Rate, and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Borrowers to pay Interest exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate. If any Interest is charged or received with respect to the Obligations in excess of the Maximum Rate (“Excess”), Borrowers stipulate that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal of such Obligations and the balance, if any, returned to Borrowers, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. Each Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in Section 3.1.1, and the Maximum Rate, such an unintentional result could
52
inadvertently occur. All monies paid to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned Interest as and to the extent required by Applicable Law. By the execution of this Agreement, each Borrower covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by such Borrower of such Excess, and (ii) such Borrower shall not seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against Administrative Agent or any Lender, based in whole or in part upon contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by Administrative Agent or any Lender, all Interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Borrowers in connection with any of the Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations. Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The provisions of this Section 3.11 shall be deemed to be incorporated into every Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to therein). All such Loan Documents and communications relating to any Interest owed by Borrowers and all figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of Obligations, be automatically recomputed by Borrowers, and by any court considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by this Section 3.11.
SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION
4.1. Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans. Borrowings under the Commitments established pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be made and funded as follows:
4.1.1. Notice of Borrowing.
(i) Whenever Borrowers desire to make a Borrowing under Section 2.1 (other than a Borrowing resulting from a conversion or continuation pursuant to Section 3.1.2), Borrowers shall give Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of such Borrowing request (a “Notice of Borrowing”), which shall be in the form of Exhibit D annexed hereto and signed by an authorized officer of Borrower Agent. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be given by Borrower Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. at the office designated by Administrative Agent from time to time (a) on the Business Day of the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (b) at least 2 Business Days prior to the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Any Revolver Loans made by each Lender on the Post-Confirmation Effective Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans and thereafter may be made or continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice thereof) shall be irrevocable and shall specify (a) the principal amount of the Borrowing, (b) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (c) whether the Borrowing is to consist of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, (d) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (e) the account of Borrowers to which the proceeds of such Borrowing are to be disbursed.
(ii) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations (whether as principal, accrued interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses and LC Obligations, and any amounts owed to BofA or any Affiliate of BofA for Banking Relationship Debt) shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the due date of, and in an aggregate amount required to pay, such Obligations, and the proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligation and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans.
53
(iii) If Borrowers elect to establish a Controlled Disbursement Account with BofA or any Affiliate of BofA, then the presentation for payment by BofA of any check or other item of payment drawn on the Controlled Disbursement Account at a time when there are insufficient funds in such account to cover such check shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation and in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the items presented for payment, and the proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed to the Controlled Disbursement Account and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans.
(iv) Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to honor any deemed request for a Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date or when an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or would result therefrom or when any condition precedent in Section 11 is not satisfied, but may do so in the discretion of Administrative Agent (or at the direction of the Required Lenders) and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether such Revolver Loan is funded after the Commitment Termination Date.
4.1.2. Fundings by Lenders. Subject to its receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing as provided in Section 4.1.1(i) (except in the case of a deemed request by Borrower Agent for a Revolver Loan as provided in Section 4.1.1(ii) or (iii) or Section 4.1.3(ii), in which event no Notice of Borrowing need be submitted), each Lender shall timely honor its Revolver Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans that is properly requested and that Borrowers are entitled to receive under the Loan Agreement. Administrative Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 4.1.1(ii) or (iii)), by 2:00 p.m. on the proposed funding date (in the case of Base Rate Loans) or by 2:00 p.m. at least 2 Business Days before the proposed funding date (in the case of LIBOR Loans). Each Lender shall deposit with Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the Borrowing requested or deemed requested by Borrowers at Administrative Agent’s designated bank in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of funding of such Borrowing, unless Administrative Agent’s notice to Lenders is received after 2:00 p.m. on the proposed funding date of a Base Rate Loan, in which event Lenders shall deposit with Administrative Agent their respective Pro Rata shares of the requested Borrowing on or before 11:00 a.m. of the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Revolver Loans received by it available to Borrowers by disbursing such proceeds in accordance with Borrower Agent’s disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability on account of any delay by any bank or other depository institution in treating the proceeds of any Revolver Loan as collected funds or any delay in receipt, or any loss, of funds that constitute a Revolver Loan, the wire transfer of which was initiated by Administrative Agent in accordance with wiring instructions provided to Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the proposed time of funding that such Lender does not intend to deposit with Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the requested Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of Section 4.1.1), Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent may in its discretion disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers on the applicable funding date. If a Lender’s Pro Rata share of such Borrowing is not in fact deposited with Administrative Agent, then, if Administrative Agent has disbursed to Borrowers an amount corresponding to such share, then such Lender agrees to pay, and in addition Borrowers agree to repay, to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
54
amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed by Administrative Agent to or for the benefit of Borrowers until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Administrative Agent, (a) in the case of Borrowers, at the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing and (b) in the case of such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender repays to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute a Revolver Loan, and if both such Lender and Borrowers shall have repaid such corresponding amount, Administrative Agent shall promptly return to Borrowers such corresponding amount in same day funds. A notice from Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 4.1.2 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
4.1.3. Settlement and Swingline Loans.
(i) In order to facilitate the administration of the Revolver Loans under this Agreement, Lenders and Administrative Agent agree (which agreement shall be solely between Lenders and Administrative Agent and shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that settlement among them with respect to the Revolver Loans may take place on a periodic basis on dates determined from time to time by Administrative Agent (each a “Settlement Date”), which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default and whether or not all of the conditions set forth in Section 11 have been met. On each Settlement Date, payment shall be made by or to each Lender in the manner provided herein and in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Administrative Agent to Lenders with respect to such Settlement Date so that, as of each Settlement Date and after giving effect to the transaction to take place on such Settlement Date, each Lender shall hold its Pro Rata share of all Revolver Loans and participations in LC Obligations. Administrative Agent shall request settlement with the Lenders on a basis not less frequently than once every 5 Business Days.
(ii) Between Settlement Dates, Administrative Agent may request BofA to advance, and BofA may, but shall in no event be obligated to, advance to Borrowers out of BofA’s own funds the entire principal amount of any Borrowing of Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans requested or deemed requested pursuant to this Agreement (any such Revolver Loan funded exclusively by BofA being referred to as a “Swingline Loan”). Each Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and security applicable to other Revolver Loans, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to BofA solely for its own account. The obligation of Borrowers to repay such Swingline Loans to BofA shall be evidenced by the records of BofA and need not be evidenced by any promissory note. Unless a funding is required by all Lenders pursuant to Section 13.9.4, Administrative Agent may but shall not be required to request BofA to make any Swingline Loan if (A) Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 will not be satisfied on the requested funding date for the applicable Borrowing and Administrative Agent has made a determination (without any liability to any Person) that such condition precedent will not be satisfied, (B) the requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of Availability on the funding date or (C) the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding exceeds (or with the funding of the requested Swingline Loan, would exceed) $5,000,000. BofA shall not be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 have been satisfied or the requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of Availability on the funding date applicable thereto prior to making, in its discretion, any Swingline Loan. On each Settlement Date, or, if earlier, on demand by Administrative Agent for payment thereof, the then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be immediately due and payable. As provided in Section 4.1.1(ii), Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested (without the necessity of submitting any Notice of Borrowing)
55
Revolver Loans to be made on each Settlement Date in the amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans and to have Administrative Agent cause the proceeds of such Revolver Loans to be applied to the repayment of such Swingline Loans and interest accrued thereon. Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the outstanding balance of Revolver Loans prior to 11:00 a.m. on each Settlement Date and each Lender (other than BofA) shall deposit with Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the amount of Revolver Loans deemed requested in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on such Settlement Date. Each Lender’s obligation to make such deposit with Administrative Agent shall be absolute and unconditional, without defense, offset, counterclaim or other defense, and without regard to whether any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 are satisfied, any Out-of-Formula Condition exists or the Commitment Termination Date has occurred. If, as the result of the commencement by or against Borrowers of any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be repaid by the funding by Lenders of Revolver Loans, then each Lender (other than BofA) shall be deemed to have purchased a participating interest in any unpaid Swingline Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata share of such Swingline Loan and shall transfer to BofA, in immediately available funds not later than the second Business Day after BofA’s request therefor, the amount of such Lender’s participation. The proceeds of Swingline Loans may be used solely for purposes for which Revolver Loans generally may be used in accordance with Section 2.1.3. If any amounts received by BofA in respect of any Swingline Loans are later required to be returned or repaid by BofA to Borrowers or any other Obligor or their respective representatives or successors-in-interest, whether by court order, settlement or otherwise, the other Lenders shall, on demand by BofA with notice to Administrative Agent, pay to Administrative Agent for the account of BofA, an amount equal to each other Lender’s Pro Rata share of all such amounts required to be returned or repaid.
4.1.4. Disbursement Authorization. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested by any Borrower, or deemed to be requested pursuant to Section 4.1.1 or Section 4.1.3(ii), as follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under Section 4.1.1(i) shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrowers in the case of the initial Borrowing, and, in the case of each subsequent Borrowing, by transfer to such bank account of Borrowers as may be directed by Borrowers from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from any Borrower; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under Section 4.1.1(ii) or Section 4.1.3(ii) shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent by way of direct payment of the relevant interest or other Obligation. Any Loan proceeds received by any Borrower or in payment of any of the Obligations shall be deemed to have been received by all Borrowers.
4.1.5. Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and Lenders to extend, convert or continue Loans, effect selections of Types of Loans and transfer funds to or on behalf of Borrowers based on telephonic notices or instructions from any individual whom Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of any Borrower. If requested by Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall confirm each such telephonic request for a Borrowing or conversion or continuation of Loans by prompt delivery to Administrative Agent of the required Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as applicable, duly executed by an authorized officer of Borrower Agent. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by Administrative Agent or Lenders, the records of Administrative Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by any Borrower as a result of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s acting upon its understanding of telephonic instructions or requests from a person believed in good faith by Administrative Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized by a Borrower to give such instructions or to make such requests on Borrowers’ behalf.
56
4.2. Defaulting Lender. If any Lender shall, at any time, fail to make any payment to Administrative Agent or BofA that is required hereunder, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, retain payments that would otherwise be made to such defaulting Lender hereunder and apply such payments to such defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations hereunder, at such time, and in such order, as Administrative Agent may elect in its discretion. With respect to the payment of any funds from Administrative Agent to a Lender or from a Lender to Administrative Agent, the party failing to make the full payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, on demand by the other party, pay such amount together with interest on such amount at the Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Loan or payment in respect of an LC Obligation shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to fund its portion of the Revolver Loan or payment in respect of an LC Obligation on the date of Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan or payment in respect of an LC Obligation. Solely as among the Lenders and solely for purposes of (i) voting upon or consenting to amendments, waivers, actions or inactions under any of the Loan Documents, or with respect to the Collateral or any Obligations, and (ii) determining a defaulting Lender’s share of payments and proceeds of Collateral pending such defaulting Lender’s cure of its defaults hereunder, a defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0). The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall be solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and may not be enforced by Borrowers.
4.3. Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Loans.
4.3.1. Number of LIBOR Loans. In no event may the number of LIBOR Loans outstanding at any time to any Lender exceed 4.
4.3.2. Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 4.1.1(i), and each continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 3.1.2, shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of that amount.
4.3.3. LIBOR Lending Office. Each Lender’s initial LIBOR Lending Office is set forth opposite its name on the signature pages hereof. Each Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to designate a different office of itself or of any Affiliate as such Lender’s LIBOR Lending Office, and to transfer any outstanding LIBOR Loans to such LIBOR Lending Office. No such designation or transfer shall result in any liability on the part of Borrowers for increased costs or expenses resulting solely from such designation or transfer. Increased costs for expenses resulting from a change in Applicable Law occurring subsequent to any such designation or transfer shall be deemed not to result solely from such designation or transfer.
4.3.4. Funding of LIBOR Loans. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBOR Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such LIBOR Loans; provided, however, that such LIBOR Loans shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of Borrowers to repay such LIBOR Loans shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility and provided Borrowers bear no increased costs as a result of Lenders funding through a foreign branch or Affiliate. The calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under Sections 3.7 and 3.10 shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded or committed to fund its LIBOR Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans; provided, however, each Lender may fund its LIBOR Loans in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing presumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under Sections 3.7 and 3.10.
57
4.4. Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints IHC, and IHC agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of itself and each other Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement (in such capacity, “Borrower Agent”), including requesting Borrowings, selecting whether any Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan, and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion/Continuation, disbursement instructions, reports, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or any other notice or communication made or given by Borrower Agent, whether in its own name, on behalf of any Borrower or on behalf of “the Borrowers,” and Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion Continuation, instruction, report, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers’ liability for the Obligations be affected, provided that the provisions of this Section 4.4 shall not be construed so as to preclude any Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other actions permitted to be taken by “a Borrower” hereunder. Administrative Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of “InSight Health Corp.” hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees to such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of such Borrower’s liability for the Obligations.
4.5. All Loans to Constitute One Obligation. The Loans and LC Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Security Document) shall be secured by Administrative Agent’s Lien upon all of the Collateral; provided, however, that Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of each Borrower and the holder of a separate claim against each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly and severally owed by Borrowers to Administrative Agent or such Lender.
4.6. Additional Borrowers. At the request of IHC made to Administrative Agent, and with the written consent of Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, a wholly-owned domestic Subsidiary of InSight Health formed or acquired after the date hereof may become party to this Agreement as a “Borrower,” provided that Administrative Agent shall have received a joinder agreement from such Subsidiary and such other instruments, consents, reaffirmations and other documents and agreements as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to evidence the joint and several liability of such Subsidiary and for related purposes, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
SECTION 5. PAYMENTS
5.1. General Payment Provisions. All payments (including all prepayments) of principal of and interest on the Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations that are payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be made to Administrative Agent in Dollars without any offset or counterclaim and free and clear of (and without deduction for) any present or future Taxes other than Excluded Taxes, as required by Applicable Law, and, with respect to payments made other than by application of balances in the Payment Account, in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the due date (and payment made after such time on the due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Borrowers shall, at the time Borrowers make any payment under this Agreement, specify to Administrative Agent the Obligations to which such payment is to be applied and, if Borrowers fail so to specify or if the application specified by Borrowers would be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or if an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to Lenders for application to the Obligations in such manner as Administrative Agent, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, may determine to be appropriate. All payments received by Administrative Agent shall be subject to the rights of offset that Administrative Agent may have as to amounts otherwise to be remitted to a particular Lender by reason of amounts due Administrative Agent from such Lender under any of the Loan Documents, without prejudice to the rights of Borrowers.
58
5.2. Repayment of Revolver Loans.
5.2.1. Payment of Principal. The outstanding principal amounts with respect to the Revolver Loans shall be repaid as follows:
(i) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the principal amount of Base Rate Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, for the sole benefit of BofA) unless timely converted to a LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Agreement, (a) if a Restrictive Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing, upon each receipt by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any proceeds of Accounts (other than that portion thereof payable to physicians pursuant to PSAs), or within 7 Business Days of each receipt by Borrowers of any such proceeds, in each case to the extent of such proceeds, (b) the Commitment Termination Date, and (c) in the case of Swingline Loans, if a Restrictive Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing, the earlier of BofA’s demand for payment or on each Settlement Date with respect to all Swingline Loans outstanding on such date.
(ii) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the principal amount of LIBOR Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, unless continued as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, immediately upon (a) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (b) the Commitment Termination Date. In no event shall Borrowers be authorized to make a voluntary prepayment with respect to any Revolver Loan outstanding as a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless (x) otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent or Borrowers are otherwise expressly authorized or required by any other provision of this Agreement to pay any LIBOR Loan outstanding on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (y) Borrowers pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, concurrently with any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan, any amount due Administrative Agent and Lenders under Section 3.10 as a consequence of such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2.1(ii), if, on any date that Administrative Agent receives proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, there are no Revolver Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans, Administrative Agent may either hold such proceeds as cash security for the timely payment of the Obligations or apply such proceeds to any outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as the same become due and payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date).
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if an Out-of-Formula Condition shall exist, Borrowers shall, on the sooner to occur of 2 Business Days after Administrative Agent’s demand or 2 Business Days after any Borrower has obtained knowledge of such Out-of-Formula Condition, repay the outstanding Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolver Loans by an amount equal to such excess; and, if such payment of Base Rate Loans is not sufficient to eliminate the Out-of-Formula Condition, then Borrowers shall immediately deposit with Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, for application to any outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as the same become due and payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date) cash in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Out-of-Formula
59
Condition, and Administrative Agent may (a) hold such deposit as cash security pending disbursement of same for application to the Obligations, or (b) if an Event of Default exists, immediately apply such proceeds to the payment of the Obligations, including the Revolver Loans outstanding as LIBOR Loans (in which event Borrowers shall also pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders any amounts required by Section 3.10 to be paid by reason of the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto).
5.2.2. Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Revolver Loans shall be due and payable on (i) the first day of each month (for the immediately preceding month), computed through the last day of the preceding month, with respect to any Revolver Loan that is a Base Rate Loan and (ii) the last day of the applicable Interest Period in the case of a LIBOR Loan. Accrued interest shall also be paid by Borrowers on the Commitment Termination Date. With respect to any Base Rate Loan converted into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 3.1.2 on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable with respect to such Base Rate Loan, accrued interest to the date of such conversion on the amount of such Base Rate Loan so converted shall be paid on the conversion date.
5.3. Reserved.
5.4. Payment of Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring the payment of money, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall be repaid by Borrowers to Administrative Agent for allocation among Administrative Agent and Lenders as provided in the Loan Documents, or, if no date of payment is otherwise specified in the Loan Documents, on demand.
5.5. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Administrative Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrowers or any other Obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrowers make a payment to Administrative Agent or Lenders or Administrative Agent or any Lender receives payment from the proceeds of any Collateral or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such Collateral or setoff (or any part thereof) are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of any loss by Administrative Agent or Lenders, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been made or received and any such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 5.5 shall survive any termination of the Commitments and Full Payment of the Obligations.
5.6. Allocation of Payments.
5.6.1. Allocation. At any time that an Event of Default exists or Administrative Agent receives a payment or Collateral proceeds in an amount that is insufficient to pay all amounts then due and payable to Administrative Agent and Lenders, all monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether such monies represent voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments by one or more Obligors or are received pursuant to demand for payment or realized from any disposition of Collateral and irrespective of any designation by Borrowers of the Obligations that are intended to be satisfied, shall be allocated among Administrative Agent and such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto (and, with respect to monies allocated to Lenders, on a Pro Rata basis unless otherwise provided herein): (i) first, to Administrative Agent to pay the amount of Extraordinary Expenses that have not been reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Borrowers or Lenders, together with interest accrued thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (ii) second, to Administrative Agent to pay principal and accrued interest on any portion of the Revolver Loans which Administrative
60
Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and for which Administrative Agent has not been reimbursed by such Lender or Borrowers, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (iii) third, to BofA to pay the principal and accrued interest on any portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding, to be shared with Lenders that have acquired and paid for a participating interest in such Swingline Loans, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (iv) fourth, to the extent that Issuing Bank has not received from any Participating Lender a payment as required by Section 2.3.2, to Issuing Bank to pay all such required payments from each Participating Lender, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (v) fifth, to Administrative Agent to pay any Claims that have not been paid pursuant to any indemnity of Administrative Agent Indemnitees by any Obligor, or to pay amounts owing by Lenders to Administrative Agent Indemnitees pursuant to Section 13.6, in each case together with interest accrued thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (vi) sixth, to Administrative Agent to pay any fees due and payable to Administrative Agent, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (vii) seventh, to each Lender, ratably, for any Claims that such Lender has paid to Administrative Agent Indemnitees pursuant to its indemnity of Administrative Agent Indemnitees and any Extraordinary Expenses that such Lender has reimbursed to Administrative Agent or such Lender has incurred, to the extent that such Lender has not been reimbursed by Obligors therefor, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (viii) eighth, to Issuing Bank to pay principal and interest with respect to LC Obligations (or to the extent any of the LC Obligations are contingent and an Event of Default then exists, deposited in the Cash Collateral Account to Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations), which payment shall be shared with the Participating Lenders in accordance with Section 2.3.2(iii), until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (ix) ninth, to Lenders in payment of the unpaid principal and accrued interest in respect of the Loans and other Obligations (excluding Banking Relationship Debt) then outstanding, in such order of application as shall be designated by Administrative Agent (acting at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders), until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (x) tenth, to BofA or any Affiliate of BofA in payment of any Banking Relationship Debt owed to such Person and secured by the Collateral hereunder, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; and (xi) eleventh, to Borrowers as provided in Section 5.7. The allocations set forth in this Section 5.6 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Administrative Agent and Lenders as among themselves and may be changed by Administrative Agent and Lenders without notice to or the consent or approval of any Borrower or any other Person.
5.6.2. Erroneous Allocation. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any allocation or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and, if any such allocation or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to which payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which such other Lenders are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).
5.7. Application of Payments and Collateral Proceeds. All Payment Items received by Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m., on any Business Day shall be deemed received on that Business Day. All Payment Items received by Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and Collateral proceeds at any time or times hereafter received by Administrative Agent or any Lender from or on behalf of Borrowers, and each Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that Administrative Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and Collateral proceeds received at any time or times hereafter by Administrative Agent or its agent against the Obligations, in such manner as Administrative Agent may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Administrative Agent upon any of its books and records; provided, however, that any payments or proceeds of Collateral received by Administrative Agent on any date that an Event of Default does not exist shall be applied in accordance with any provisions of this Agreement that govern the application of such payment or proceeds. If, as the result of Administrative
61
Agent’s collection of proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral as authorized by Section 8.2.6 a credit balance exists, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but shall be remitted to Borrowers unless (x) there exists an Event of Default and (y) there are LC Obligations outstanding that have not been Cash Collateralized. Administrative Agent may apply such credit balance against any of the Obligations upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and to the extent so applied, such credit balance shall be applied in the manner specified in Section 5.6.1.
5.8. Loan Accounts; Account Stated.
5.8.1. Loan Accounts. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (a “Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under each Note payable to such Lender. Any failure of a Lender to record in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing hereunder to such Lender.
5.8.2. The Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”), which shall include a master account and a subsidiary account for each Lender and in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of each Loan comprising such Borrowing and any Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrowers to each Lender hereunder or under the Notes, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent from Borrowers or any other Obligor and each Lender’s Pro Rata share thereof. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender at the offices of Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any failure of Administrative Agent to record in the Register, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Administrative Agent. The Obligations and Letters of Credit are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of any Lender and their assignees in and to such Obligations and Letters of Credit as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.8.2 and for tax purposes only, Administrative Agent shall be Borrowers’ agent for purposes of maintaining the Register (but Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Borrower or any other Person on account of any inaccuracies contained in the Register). This Section 5.8.2 shall be construed so that the Obligations and Letters of Credit are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any related regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or such regulations).
5.8.3. Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each Loan Account shall constitute rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information contained therein; provided, however, that if a copy of information contained in the Register or any Loan Account is provided to any Person, or any Person inspects the Register or any Loan Account, at any time or from time to time, then the information contained in the Register or the Loan Account, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, unless such Person notifies Administrative Agent in writing within 30 days after such Person’s receipt of such copy or such Person’s inspection of the Register or Loan Account of its intention to dispute the information contained therein.
62
5.9. Taxes.
5.9.1. Gross Up. If Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (a) the sum payable to Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made, (b) Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions, and (c) Borrowers shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
5.9.2. Refund. If Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund, credit, or other reduction of taxes in respect of any Taxes paid by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 5.9, such Person shall, within 30 days from the date of actual receipt of such refund or the filing of the tax return in which such credit or other reduction results in a lower tax payment, pay over such refund or the amount of such tax reduction to Borrowers (but only to the extent of Taxes paid by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 5.9), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Person, and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).
5.9.3. Foreign Lenders. Each Foreign Lender, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement, on or prior to the date on which it designates a new lending office, and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender, in the case of an assignee, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by Borrowers, shall provide Borrowers with duplicate executed originals of (A) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under any income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces to zero the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest, or (B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or any successor form, certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or (C) with respect to any Lender that is not a bank and is eligible for exemption from tax under Section 881(c) or 871(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form, and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto. Each Foreign Lender who does not deliver a Form W-8ECI represents that all services performed hereunder with respect to any fees received or to be received will have been, and will be, performed outside of the United States.
5.9.4. Remedy. In the event that Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.7 or Section 5.9.1 hereof, Borrowers may, upon notice to such Lender, either prepay in whole or in part the outstanding balance on any Loan held by such Lender or require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee selected by Borrowers that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment).
5.10. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.
5.10.1. Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be liable for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by all other Borrowers of, all of the Loans and other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, it being acknowledged and agreed that Loans to any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all Borrowers and that Administrative Agent and Lenders are relying on the joint and several liability of Borrowers in extending the Loans and other financial accommodations hereunder. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that upon default in the payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest owed on, any of the Loans or other Obligations, such Borrower shall forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand.
63
5.10.2. Unconditional Nature of Liability. Each Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Loans and other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Obligor or any Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing or securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to Administrative Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure by Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect or maintain the perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations or Administrative Agent’s release of any Collateral or of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the liability of any Obligor for the payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any amendment or modification of any of the Loan Documents or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, (ix) any increase in the amount of the Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees or other charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the same, (x) the disallowance of all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s claims against any other Obligor for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Obligor (other than prior payment). After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice to any Obligor, against any or all of Obligors to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Obligor or against any Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any provision under Applicable Law that might otherwise require Administrative Agent to pursue or exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or Obligor before pursuing another Obligor. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.
5.10.3. No Reduction in Liability for Obligations. No payment or payments made by an Obligor or received or collected by Administrative Agent from a Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement, each of whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of all Loans and other Obligations until Full Payment of the Obligations.
5.10.4. Contribution. Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. If, as of any date, the aggregate amount of payments made by a Borrower on account of the Obligations and proceeds of such Borrower’s Collateral that are applied to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Loan proceeds actually used by such Borrower in its business (such excess amount being referred to as an “Accommodation Payment”), then each of the other Borrowers (each such Borrower being referred to as a “Contributing Borrower”) shall be obligated to make contribution to such Borrower (the
64
“Paying Borrower”) in an amount equal to (A) the product derived by multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of each Borrower by the Allocable Percentage of the Borrower from whom contribution is sought less (B) the amount, if any, of the then outstanding Accommodation Payment of such Contributing Borrower (such last mentioned amount which is to be subtracted from the aforesaid product to be increased by any amounts theretofore paid by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder, and to be decreased by any amounts theretofore received by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder); provided, however, that a Paying Borrower’s recovery of contribution hereunder from the other Borrowers shall be limited to that amount paid by the Paying Borrower in excess of its Allocable Percentage of all Accommodation Payments then outstanding of all Borrowers. As used herein, the term “Allocable Percentage” shall mean, on any date of determination thereof, a fraction the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of Borrowers who are parties to this Agreement on such date and the numerator of which shall be 1; provided, however, that such percentages shall be modified in the event that contribution from a Borrower is not possible by reason of insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise by reducing such Borrower’s Allocable Percentage equitably and by adjusting the Allocable Percentage of the other Borrowers proportionately so that the Allocable Percentages of all Borrowers at all times equals 100%.
5.10.5. Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any other Obligor, and any successor or assign of any other Obligor, including any trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter existing, to the Full Payment of all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made).
SECTION 6. TERM AND TERMINATION OF COMMITMENT
6.1. Term of Commitments. Subject to each Lender’s right to cease making Loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers when any Default or Event of Default exists, the Commitments shall be in effect for a period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the date that is the soonest to occur of (i) June 30, 2011 or (ii) the date that the Commitments are terminated as provided in Section 6.2 (such period being referred to herein as the “Term”).
6.2. Termination.
6.2.1. Termination by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may (and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall) terminate the Commitment without notice at any time that an Event of Default exists; provided, however, that the Commitment shall automatically terminate as provided in Section 12.2.
6.2.2. Termination by Borrowers. Upon at least 30 days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Commitments; provided, however, no such termination by Borrowers shall be effective until Full Payment of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made). Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable unless Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in writing. Borrowers may elect to terminate the Commitments in their entirety only, provided that nothing contained herein shall affect Borrowers’ right to voluntarily reduce the Revolver Commitments as provided in Section 2.1.5. No section of this Agreement, Type of Loan available hereunder or Commitment may be terminated by Borrowers singly.
65
6.2.3. Early Termination Fee. Concurrently with any termination of the Commitments in their entirety pursuant to Section 6.2.2 hereof, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, as liquidated damages for loss of the bargain (and not as a penalty), a fee (the “Early Termination Fee”) in an amount equal to: (i) if termination occurs on or before July 31, 2008, 0.50% of the Commitments; (ii) if termination occurs on or after August 1, 2008, but before August 1, 2009, 0.25% of the Commitments and (iii) if termination occurs on or after August 1, 2009, 0.0% of the Commitments; provided that no Early Termination Fee shall be payable if termination occurs in connection with a refinancing or replacement of the credit facility set forth in this Agreement provided or agented by BofA, any of its Affiliates or another department or division of BofA.
6.2.4. Effect of Termination. On the effective date of termination of the Commitments by Administrative Agent or by Borrowers, all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) shall be immediately due and payable; Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans; Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letters of Credit, and BofA may terminate any Bank Products (including any services or products under Cash Management Agreements). All undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any such termination, and Administrative Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents notwithstanding such termination until Full Payment of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made). Notwithstanding the Full Payment of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), Administrative Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any of the Collateral unless, with respect to any loss or damage Administrative Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of any Payment Items applied to the Obligations, Administrative Agent shall have received either (i) a written agreement, executed by Borrowers and any Person deemed financially responsible by Administrative Agent whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Administrative Agent and Lenders from any such loss or damage; or (ii) such monetary reserves and Liens on the Collateral for such period of time as Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary to protect Administrative Agent from any such loss or damage. The provisions of Sections 3.4, 5.5, 5.9 and this Section 6.2.4 and all obligations of Borrowers to indemnify Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, shall in all events survive any termination of the Commitment and Full Payment of the Obligations.
SECTION 7. COLLATERAL
7.1. Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance of all of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of the following Property and interests in Property of such Borrower, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located: (i) all Accounts; (ii) all Instruments, Chattel Paper (including Electronic Chattel Paper), Documents, Letter-of-Credit Rights and Supporting Obligations, in each case to the extent arising out of, relating to, or given in exchange or settlement for or to evidence the obligation to pay any Account; (iii) all General Intangibles that arise out of or are related to any Account or from which any Account arises; (iv) all of the Deposit Accounts Collateral; (v) all monies now or at any time or times hereafter in the possession or under the control of Administrative Agent or a bailee of Administrative Agent, including any Cash Collateral in any Cash Collateral Account; (vi) all products and cash and non-cash proceeds of the foregoing, including proceeds of insurance in respect of any of the foregoing; (vii) all books and records (including customer lists, files, correspondence, tapes, computer programs, print-outs and other computer materials and records) of such Borrower pertaining to any of the foregoing.
7.2. Reserved.
7.3. Reserved.

8.1.4. Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Borrower shall at all times defend such Borrower’s title to the Collateral and Administrative Agent’s Liens therein against all Persons and all claims and demands whatsoever other than Permitted Liens and Permitted Asset Dispositions.

Each Borrower shall also provide to Administrative Agent on or before the 25th day of each month, a detailed aged trial balance of all Accounts existing as of the last day of the preceding month, specifying the names, face value, dates of invoices and due dates for each Account Debtor obligated on an Account so listed (“Schedule of Accounts”), and, upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor, copies of all documents, including repayment histories and present status reports relating to the Accounts so scheduled and such other matters and information relating to the status of then existing Accounts as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. In addition, at any time that there are Revolver Loans outstanding or LC Obligations that have not been Cash Collateralized exceed $2,000,000, if an Account in the face amount in excess of $1,000,000 ceases to be an Eligible Account in whole or in part, Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within 7 Business Days) after any Borrower’s having obtained knowledge of such occurrence and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent copies of invoices or invoice registers related to all of its Accounts.
8.2.2. Discounts, Disputes and Returns. At any time that there are Revolver Loans outstanding or LC Obligations that have not been Cash Collateralized exceed $2,000,000, if any Borrower grants any discounts, allowances or credits on an Eligible Account in excess of 5% of the amount of such Account that are not shown on the face of the invoice for the Eligible Account involved, such Borrower shall report such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be, to Administrative Agent as part of the next required Schedule of Accounts. At any time that there are Revolver Loans outstanding or LC Obligations that have not been Cash Collateralized exceed $2,000,000, if any amounts due and owing in excess of $750,000 are in dispute between any Borrower and any Account Debtor, such Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with written notice thereof at the time of submission of the next Schedule of Accounts.
68
8.2.3. Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes payable to any Governmental Authority, Administrative Agent is authorized, in its discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due by Borrowers.
8.2.4. Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of Administrative Agent, any designee of Administrative Agent or any Borrower to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Wholesale Receivable of such Borrower by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Administrative Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.
8.2.5. Maintenance of Dominion Account.
(i) Borrowers shall establish and maintain a system of cash management that is acceptable to Agent with BofA or such other bank or banks as may be selected by Borrowers and be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Such system of cash management shall include (i) a lockbox (or lockboxes), and related Deposit Account (or Deposit Accounts), for remittance and deposit (including by way of electronic funds transfer) of collections or payments with respect to Wholesale Receivables (each a “Wholesale Collection Account”), (ii) a Deposit Account (or Deposit Accounts) into which collections and payments with respect to Retail Receivables (including Governmental Receivables) are deposited or remitted by electronic funds transfer or otherwise (each a “Retail Collection Account”), (iii) a Deposit Account that constitutes a “concentration account” (the “Concentration Account”) into which collected funds from the Collection Accounts (other than amounts payable to physicians pursuant to PSAs) shall be transferred within 7 Business Days of receipt thereof and (iv) such other Deposit Accounts and/or lockboxes as Borrowers shall deem to be necessary or appropriate to conduct their business operations. Borrowers shall have access to the funds that are deposited in the foregoing Deposit Accounts, provided that (a) Borrowers shall not deposit proceeds of Property constituting collateral security for the Senior Notes therein, (b) Borrowers shall not deposit the proceeds of any Collateral into any Deposit Account maintained for or in connection with the Senior Notes or into which the proceeds of collateral security for the Senior Notes are, or are intended to be, deposited, and (c) the provisions of Section 8.2.5(ii) shall control after the occurrence of a Restrictive Trigger Event.
(ii) If a Restrictive Trigger Event occurs at any time, then all monies in the Concentration Account and in each Wholesale Collection Account shall be deposited each day in the Payment Account and applied to the Obligations as determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement. If thereafter, a Restrictive Trigger Event does not exist during any period of 90 consecutive days, then as soon as practicable, but in any event within 5 Business Days, Administrative Agent will permit Borrowers to access the monies in the Concentration Account and in each Wholesale Collection Account for use as provided in Sections 2.1.3 and 8.2.5(i) hereof.
8.2.6. Collection of Accounts and Proceeds of Collateral. To expedite collection of Accounts, each Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection of such Borrower’s Accounts for Administrative Agent and Lenders and, in connection therewith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep in full force and effect any Supporting Obligation or collateral security relating to each such Account. All Payment Items received by any Borrower in respect of its Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held by such Borrower as trustee of an express trust for
69
Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ benefit; Borrowers shall promptly, and in any event no later than the seventh Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, deposit the same in kind in the Collection Accounts; and Administrative Agent may remit such proceeds to Lenders for application to the Obligations in the manner authorized by this Agreement. Administrative Agent retains the right at all times that an Event of Default exists to notify Account Debtors on Wholesale Receivables of any Borrower that Wholesale Receivables have been assigned to Administrative Agent, to collect Wholesale Receivables directly in its own name (and, in connection therewith, and to charge to Borrowers the collection costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, including reasonable attorneys’ fees). At any time an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall have the right to settle or adjust all disputes and claims directly with the Account Debtor on Wholesale Receivables and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of any Wholesale Receivables upon such terms and conditions as Administrative Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs and expenses thereof, including attorneys’ fees, to Borrowers.
8.3. Administration of Deposit Accounts. Each Borrower represents that, as of the Post-Confirmation Effective Date, Schedule 8.3 (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time) sets forth all of the Deposit Accounts maintained by each Borrower that arise out or relate to the Accounts, including Deposit Accounts into which all Payment Items relating to any Collateral are deposited; a Borrower is the sole account holder of each such Deposit Account and is not aware of any Person (other than Administrative Agent) having either dominion or control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) over any such Deposit Account or any property deposited therein (other than any such control that has been released or terminated on or before the Post-Confirmation Effective Date and control arising by operation of law in favor the depository bank in which such Deposit Account is maintained); and each Borrower has taken all actions required to establish Administrative Agent’s “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) over the Concentration Account, the Investment Accounts and any other Deposit Account that relates to the Accounts (other than any Deposit Account specially and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of such Borrower’s employees or into which payments with respect to Governmental Receivables are directly deposited or transferred). Each Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of any additional Deposit Account of the type described above in this Section 8.3 opened and any Deposit Account of the type described above in Section 8.3 that is closed, and will amend Schedule 8.3 to reflect such addition or deletion.
8.4. Borrowing Base Certificates. Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate (and Administrative Agent shall, on request from a Lender, promptly deliver a copy thereof to such Lender): (a) on the Post-Confirmation Effective Date; (b) on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, prepared as of the close of business on the last day of the previous month; (c) if there are Revolver Loans outstanding or the LC Obligations that have not been Cash Collateralized exceed $2,000,000, on each Business Day on which Borrowers shall dispose of any Eligible Accounts having a face amount in excess of $250,000 to the extent permitted pursuant to clause (ii)(k) of the definition of Permitted Asset Disposition; and (d) at such other times as Administrative Agent may request if an Event of Default exists; provided that Borrowers may deliver Borrowing Base Certificates more frequently at their option. All calculations of Availability in connection with any Borrowing Base Certificate shall originally be made by Borrowers and certified by an authorized officer to Administrative Agent, provided that Administrative Agent shall have the right to review and adjust, in the exercise of its Credit Judgment, any such calculation to the extent that such calculation is not in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the amount of the Availability Reserve. In no event shall the Borrowing Base on any date be deemed to exceed the amount of the Borrowing Base shown on the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently received by Administrative Agent, as the calculation in such Borrowing Base Certificate may be adjusted from time to time by Administrative Agent as herein authorized.

Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all states and jurisdictions in which the failure of such Borrower or Subsidiary, as the case may be, to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval of any of the holders of the Equity Interests of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiary other than those obtained on or prior to the date hereof; (ii) contravene the Organic Documents of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) violate, or cause any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to be in default under, any provision of any Applicable Law, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award in effect having applicability to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or its Properties may be bound or affected; or (v) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon or with respect to any of the Properties now owned or hereafter acquired by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the case of clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Section 9.1.2 as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

As of the date hereof, Schedule 9.1.4 hereto states (i) the correct name of each Borrower, its jurisdiction of incorporation and the percentage of its Equity Interests having voting powers owned by each Person.

72
(f) such Borrower has not made any agreement with any Account Debtor thereunder for any extension, compromise, settlement or modification of any such Account or any deduction therefrom, except discounts or allowances which are granted by a Borrower in the Ordinary Course of Business and which are reflected in the calculation of the net amount of each respective invoice related thereto and are reflected in the Schedules of Accounts submitted to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.2.1;

(b) such Retail Receivable is payable in an amount not less than its Net Realizable Value by the Third Party Payor identified by Borrowers as the payor thereon and is recognized as such by such Third Party Payor. There is no payor on such Retail Receivable other than the Third Party Payor identified by Borrower as the payor primarily liable on such Retail Receivable;

(h) neither such Retail Receivable nor the related Provider Agreement contravenes any material Applicable Laws applicable thereto and no Borrower is in violation of any such Applicable Law.

13.2.3. Each Lender agrees that neither BofA nor Administrative Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any such Report; agrees that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations and that BofA or Administrative Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books and records as well as upon representations of Borrowers’ officers and employees; agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use and not to distribute the Reports (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to its Participants, attorneys, accountants and other Persons with whom such Lender has a confidential relationship) or use any Report in any other manner; and, without limiting the generality of any other indemnification contained herein, agrees to hold Administrative Agent and any other Person preparing a Report harmless from any action that the indemnifying Lender may take or 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 Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or its purchase of, a loan or loans of any Obligor, and to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each other such Person preparing a Report harmless from and against all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or any part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.
13.3. Reliance By Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopier message or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of Administrative Agent Professionals selected by Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may rely upon any Notice of Borrowing, LC Request, Notice of Conversion/Continuation or any similar notice or request believed by Administrative Agent to be genuine. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting hereunder and thereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon Lenders.
13.4. Action Upon Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless it has received written notice from a Lender or any or all Borrowers specifying the occurrence and nature of such Default or Event of Default. If Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice of a Default or an Event of Default or shall otherwise
97
acquire actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders in writing and Administrative Agent shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or shall refrain from taking such action and asserting such rights, as the Required Lenders shall direct from time to time. If any Lender shall receive a notice of a Default or an Event of Default or shall otherwise acquire actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and the other Lenders in writing. As provided in Section 13.3, Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any liability by reason of acting or refraining to act pursuant to any request of the Required Lenders except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence in connection with any action taken by it. In no event shall the Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct Administrative Agent to accelerate and demand payment of the Loans held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans or to terminate the Commitments of one or more Lenders without terminating the Commitments of all Lenders. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any of the Loan Documents or with the written consent of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any legal action or institute any action or proceeding against any Obligor with respect to any of the Obligations or Collateral or accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of Lenders may exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar sales or dispositions of any of the Collateral except as authorized by Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 13.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, each Lender shall be authorized to take such action to preserve or enforce its rights against any Obligor where a deadline or limitation period is otherwise applicable and would, absent the taking of specified action, bar the enforcement of Obligations held by such Lender against such Obligor, including the filing of proofs of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding.
13.5. Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction (including any amounts received as adequate protection of a bank account deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code) of any Obligation of Borrowers (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata share of payments or reductions on account of such Obligations obtained by all of the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith (i) notify the other Lenders and Administrative Agent of such receipt and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction, net of costs incurred in connection therewith, on a Pro Rata basis, provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or additional costs are incurred, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery or such additional costs, but without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 13.5 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
13.6. Indemnification of Administrative Agent Indemnitees.
13.6.1. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and defend the Administrative Agent Indemnitees (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers, but without limiting the indemnification obligations of Obligors under any of the Loan Documents), on a Pro Rata basis, and to hold each of the Administrative Agent Indemnitees harmless from and against, any and all Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Administrative Agent Indemnitees in any way related to or arising out of any of the Loan Documents or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated thereby (including the costs and expenses which Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 15.2 or amounts Administrative Agent may be called upon to pay in connection with any lockbox or Dominion Account arrangement contemplated hereby or under any indemnity, guaranty or other assurance of payment or performance given by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.4.2 or the enforcement of any of the terms of any Loan Documents).
98
13.6.2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.6, if Administrative Agent should be sued by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession or other Person on account of any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer received or alleged to have been received from any Borrower or any other Obligor as the result of any transaction under the Loan Documents, then in such event any monies paid by Administrative Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such suit, together with all Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Lenders to the extent of each Lender’s Pro Rata share.
13.6.3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.6, if at any time (whether prior to or after the Commitment Termination Date) any action or proceeding shall be brought against any of the Administrative Agent Indemnitees by an Obligor or by any other Person claiming by, through or under an Obligor, to recover damages for any act taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents or in the performance of any rights, powers or remedies of Administrative Agent against any Obligor, any Account Debtor, the Collateral or with respect to any Loans, or to obtain any other relief of any kind on account of any transaction involving any Administrative Agent Indemnitees under or in relation to any of the Loan Documents, each Lender agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent Indemnitees harmless with respect thereto and to pay to the Administrative Agent Indemnitees such Lender’s Pro Rata share of such amount as any of the Administrative Agent Indemnitees shall be required to pay by reason of a judgment, decree, or other order entered in such action or proceeding or by reason of any compromise or settlement agreed to by the Administrative Agent Indemnitees, including all interest and costs assessed against any of the Administrative Agent Indemnitees in defending or compromising such action, together with attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent Indemnitees in connection therewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any Administrative Agent Indemnitee for any of the foregoing to the extent that they arise solely from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Administrative Agent Indemnitee. In Administrative Agent’s discretion, Administrative Agent may also reserve for or satisfy any such judgment, decree or order from proceeds of Collateral prior to any distributions therefrom to or for the account of Lenders.
13.7. Limitation on Responsibilities of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall have received further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 13.6 against any and all Indemnified Claims which may be incurred by Administrative Agent by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall not be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents except as a result and to the extent of losses caused by the Administrative Agent’s actual gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or breach by any Obligor or any Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent does not make to Lenders, and no Lender makes to Administrative Agent or the other Lenders, any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral, the Loan Documents or any Obligor. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall be responsible to Lenders, and no Lender nor any of its agents, attorneys or employees shall be responsible to Administrative Agent or the other Lenders, for: (i) any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or in any certificate or other document furnished pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents; (iii) the genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency,
99
location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; (iv) the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any the Obligations; or (v) the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or any Account Debtor. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall have any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Obligor of any of the duties or agreements of such Obligor under any of the Loan Documents or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any of the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts.
13.8. Successor Administrative Agent and Co-Agents.
13.8.1. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to each Lender and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any notice of such resignation, the Required Lenders, after prior consultation with (but without having to obtain consent of) each Lender, shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be (i) a Lender, (ii) a United States based affiliate of a Lender, or (iii) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and has a combined capital surplus of at least $200,000,000 and, provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, is reasonably acceptable to Borrowers (and for purposes hereof, any successor to BofA shall be deemed acceptable to Borrowers). If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may appoint, after consultation with Lenders and Borrower Agent, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of an appointment to serve as an Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent without further act, deed or conveyance, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to enjoy the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 13.6 and 15.2. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 13 (including the provisions of Section 13.6) shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any successor by merger or acquisition of the stock or assets of BofA shall continue to be Administrative Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto unless such successor shall resign in accordance with the provisions hereof.
13.8.2. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business as agent or otherwise in any jurisdiction. In case of litigation under any of the Loan Documents, or in case Administrative Agent deems that by reason of present or future laws of any jurisdiction Administrative Agent might be prohibited from exercising any of the powers, rights or remedies granted to Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or from holding title to or a Lien upon any Collateral or from taking any other action which may be necessary hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may appoint an additional Person as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent which is not so prohibited from taking any of such actions or exercising any of such powers, rights or remedies. If Administrative Agent shall appoint an additional Person as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent as provided above, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand or cause of action intended by any of the Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to Administrative Agent with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vested in such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate collateral
100
agent or co-collateral agent to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Should any instrument from Lenders be required by the separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent so appointed by Administrative Agent in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to him or it such rights, powers, duties and obligations, any and all of such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by Lenders whether or not a Default or Event of Default then exists. In case any separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, or a successor to either, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, so far as permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new collateral agent or successor to such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent.
13.9. Consents, Amendments and Waivers; Out-of-Formula Loans.
13.9.1. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, nor any waiver of any Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement or consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that
(i) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, no amendment or waiver shall be effective with respect to any provision in any of the Loan Documents (including Section 3.4 and this Section 13) to the extent such provision relates to the rights, duties, immunities, exculpation, indemnification or discretion of Administrative Agent;
(ii) Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without prior consent from any Lender, agree in writing to add any domestic Subsidiary of InSight Health as a new “Borrower” party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and such written election by Administrative Agent, if made, shall be binding upon all Lenders;
(iii) without the prior written consent of Issuing Bank, no amendment or waiver with respect to any of the LC Obligations or the provisions of Sections 2.3, 4.1.3 or 11.2.6 shall be effective;
(iv) without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, no amendment or waiver shall be effective that would (1) increase or otherwise modify any Commitment of such Lender (other than to reduce such Lender’s Commitment on a proportionate basis with the same Commitments of other Lenders); (2) alter (other than to increase) the rate of interest payable in respect of any Obligations owed to such Lender; (3) waive or defer collection of any interest or fee payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 3; or (4) subordinate the payment of any Obligations owed to such Lender to the payment of any Debt (except as expressly provided in Section 5.6.1); and
(v) without the prior written consent of all Lenders, no amendment or waiver shall be effective that would (1) waive any Default or Event of Default if the Default or Event of Default relates to any Borrower’s failure to observe or perform any covenant that may not be amended without the unanimous written consent of Lenders (and, where so provided hereinafter, the written consent of Administrative Agent) as hereinafter set forth; (2) alter the provisions of Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 5.6, 5.7, 7.1 (except to add to the categories of Property of Borrowers constituting Collateral), 13.9, 15.2, 15.3, 15.4 or 15.16; (3) amend the definitions of “Pro Rata” or “Required Lenders” (and the other defined terms used in such definitions), or any provision of this Agreement obligating Administrative Agent to take certain actions at the direction of the Required Lenders, or any provision of any of the Loan Documents regarding the Pro Rata treatment or obligations of Lenders; or (4) subordinate the priority of any Liens granted to Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents to consensual, non-statutory Liens granted after the Post-Confirmation Effective Date to any other Person, except as currently
101
provided in or contemplated by the Loan Documents (including a subordination in favor of the holders of Permitted Liens that are permitted to have priority over Administrative Agent’s Liens) and except for Liens granted by an Obligor to financial institutions with respect to amounts on deposit with such financial institutions to cover returned items, processing and analysis charges and other charges in the Ordinary Course of Business that relate to deposit accounts with such financial institutions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent or agreement of Borrowers shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders and Administrative Agent as among themselves, including Sections 5.6.1 and 15. The making of any Loans hereunder by any Lender during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default. Any waiver or consent granted by Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
13.9.2. No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for or as an inducement to the consent to or agreement by such Lender with any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the extent that the agreement of all Lenders to any such waiver or amendment is required, unless such remuneration or thing of value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata or other mutually agreed upon basis to all Lenders; provided, however, that Borrowers may contract to pay a fee only to those Lenders who actually vote in writing to approve any waiver or amendment of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the extent that such waiver or amendment may be implemented by vote of the Required Lenders and such waiver or amendment is in fact approved.
13.9.3. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such a authority or consent, is a Lender, shall be conclusive and binding upon any Transferee of such Lender.
13.9.4. Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent may require Lenders to honor requests by Borrowers for Out-of-Formula Loans (in which event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.1.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Lenders shall continue to make Revolver Loans up to their Pro Rata share of the Commitments) and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Out-of-Formula Condition, (1) when no Event of Default exists (or if an Event of Default exists, when the existence of such Event of Default is not known by Administrative Agent), if and for so long as (i) such Out-of-Formula Condition does not continue for a period of more than 14 consecutive days, following which no Out-of-Formula Condition exists for at least 60 consecutive days before another Out-of-Formula Condition exists, (ii) the amount of the Revolver Loans outstanding at any time does not exceed the aggregate of the Commitments at such time, and (iii) the Out-of-Formula Condition is not known by Administrative Agent at the time in question to exceed $2,500,000; and (2) regardless of whether or not an Event of Default exists, if Administrative Agent discovers the existence of an Out-of-Formula Condition not previously known by it to exist, but Lenders shall be obligated to continue making such Revolver Loans as directed by Administrative Agent only (A) if the amount of the Out-of-Formula Condition is not increased by more than $500,000 above the amount determined by Administrative Agent to exist on the date of discovery thereof and (B) for a period not to exceed 30 Business Days. In no event shall any Borrower or any other Obligor be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Section 13.9.4 or authorized to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 13.9.4.
102
13.10. Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and represents that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or the other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund the Loans to be made by it hereunder and to purchase participations in the LC Obligations pursuant to Section 2.3.2, and each Lender has made such inquiries concerning the Loan Documents, the Collateral and each Obligor as such Lender feels necessary and appropriate, and has taken such care on its own behalf as would have been the case had it entered into the other Loan Documents without the intervention or participation of the other Lenders or Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby further acknowledges and represents that the other Lenders and Administrative Agent have not made any representations or warranties to it concerning any Obligor, any of the Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents. Each Lender also hereby acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the other Lenders or Administrative Agent, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and in taking or refraining to take any other action under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Administrative Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or any of Administrative Agent’s Affiliates.
13.11. Representations and Warranties of Lenders. Each Lender represents and warrants to each Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders that it has the power to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and that it has taken all necessary and appropriate action to authorize its execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, each of which will be binding upon it and the obligations imposed upon it herein or therein will be enforceable against it in accordance with the respective terms of such documents; and none of the consideration used by it to make or fund its Loans or to participate in any other transactions under this Agreement constitutes for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code assets of any “plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code and the rights and interests of such Lender in and under the Loan Documents shall not constitute plan assets under ERISA.
13.12. The Required Lenders. As to any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents under which action may or is required to be taken upon direction or approval of the Required Lenders, the direction or approval of the Required Lenders shall be binding upon each Lender to the same extent and with the same effect as if each Lender joined therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrowers shall not be deemed to be a beneficiary of, or be entitled to enforce, xxx upon or assert as a defense to any of the Obligations, any provisions of this Agreement that requires Administrative Agent or any Lender to act, or conditions their authority to act, upon the direction or consent of the Required Lenders; and any action taken by Administrative Agent or any Lender that requires the consent or direction of the Required Lenders as a condition to taking such action shall, insofar as Borrowers are concerned, be presumed to have been taken with the requisite consent or direction of the Required Lenders.
13.13. Several Obligations. The obligations and Commitment of each Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are several and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by the other Lenders of its obligations or Commitment hereunder or thereunder. Notwithstanding any liability of Lenders stated to be joint and several to third Persons under any of the Loan Documents, such liability shall be shared, as among Lenders, Pro Rata.
103
13.14. Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to lend under this Agreement, the Loans made by it and each Note issued to it, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender or holder of a Note and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any other Obligor, or any Affiliate of any Borrower or any other Obligor, as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor (or for any fees or other consideration received in connection therewith) to the other Lenders. BofA or its affiliates may receive information regarding any Borrower or any of such Borrower’s Affiliates and account debtors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or any of their Affiliates) and Lenders acknowledge that neither Administrative Agent nor BofA shall be under any obligation to provide such information to Lenders to the extent acquired by BofA in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent hereunder.
13.15. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 13 is not intended to confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person except Lenders and Administrative Agent, and no Person (including any Borrower) other than Lenders and Administrative Agent shall have any right to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 13 except as expressly provided in Section 13.17. As between Borrowers and Administrative Agent, any action that Administrative Agent may take or purport to take on behalf of Lenders under any of the Loan Documents shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and approved by Lenders as herein provided.
13.16. Notice of Transfer. Administrative Agent may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender’s portion of the Revolver Loans for all purposes, unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof executed by such Lender has been received by Administrative Agent.
13.17. Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender (“Affected Lender”) shall have (i) failed to fund its Pro Rata share of any Loan requested (or deemed requested) by Borrowers which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement and which such failure has not been cured, (ii) requested compensation from Borrowers under Section 3.7 to recover increased costs incurred by such Lender (or its parent or holding company) which are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders (or their respective parents or holding companies), (iii) delivered a notice pursuant to Section 3.6 claiming that such Lender is unable to extend LIBOR Loans to Borrowers for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders, (iv) defaulted in paying or performing any of its obligations to Administrative Agent, or (v) failed or refused to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all of the Lenders is required and in respect of which the Required Lenders have consented, then, in any such case and in addition to any other rights and remedies that Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any Borrower may have against such Affected Lender, any Borrower or Administrative Agent may make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent in the case of a demand by Borrowers and a copy to Borrowers in the case of a demand by Administrative Agent) for the Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment and Acceptances within 5 Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more Lenders willing to accept such assignment or assignments, or to one or more Eligible Assignees designated by Administrative Agent, all of such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment and all Loans owing to it) in accordance with Section 14. Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to execute one or more Assignment and Acceptances as attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender which fails or refuses to execute
104
and deliver the same within 5 Business Days after the date of such demand. The Affected Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash and concurrently with execution and delivery of each such Assignment and Acceptance, all amounts owed to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such assignment (but excluding any prepayment penalty or termination charge. Upon the replacement of any Affected Lender pursuant to this Section 13.17, such Affected Lender shall cease to have any participation in, entitlement to, or other right to share in the Liens of Administrative Agent in any Collateral and such Affected Lender shall have no further liability to Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person under any of the Loan Documents (except as provided in Section 13.6 as to events or transactions which occur prior to the replacement of such Affected Lender), including any commitment to make Loans or purchase participations in LC Obligations. Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, but shall not be obligated to, upon written notice to any Lender and with the consent of such Lender (which may be granted or withheld in such Lender’s discretion), to purchase for Administrative Agent’s own account all of such Lender’s right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Obligations (together with such Lender’s interest in the Commitments), for the face amount of the Obligations owed to such Lender (or such greater or lesser amount as Administrative Agent and Lender may mutually agree upon).
13.18. Remittance of Payments and Collections.
13.18.1. All payments by any Lender to Administrative Agent shall be made not later than the time set forth elsewhere in this Agreement on the Business Day such payment is due; provided, however, that if such payment is due on demand by Administrative Agent and such demand is made on the paying Lender after 11:00 a.m. on such Business Day, then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, promptly following Administrative Agent’s receipt of funds for the account of such Lender and in the type of funds received by Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if Administrative Agent receives such funds at or prior to 12:00 noon, Administrative Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on such Business Day, but if Administrative Agent receives such funds after 12:00 noon, Administrative Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on the next Business Day.
13.18.2. With respect to the payment of any funds from Administrative Agent to a Lender or from a Lender to Administrative Agent, the party failing to make full payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, on demand by the other party, pay such amount together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive any credit for any interest paid by Administrative Agent to any Lender, or by any Lender to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate as provided herein.
13.18.3. If Administrative Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Administrative Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received by Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from each Lender that receives such amount. If Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by it under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents must be returned to an Obligor or paid to any other Person pursuant to any Applicable Law, court order or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender.

SECTION 14. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS
14.1. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns (which, in the case of Administrative Agent, shall include any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 13.8), except that (i) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate performance of any of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 14.3. Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 14.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with Administrative Agent. Any assignee or transferee of any rights with respect to any Note or Loan agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of a Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
14.2. Participations.
14.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) a participating interest in any of the Obligations owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under any of the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by Borrowers under this Agreement and any of the Notes shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. If a Lender sells a participation to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender, then such Lender shall give prompt written notice thereof to Borrowers and the other Lenders. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 unless Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 5.10 as though such Participant were a Lender.
14.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than an amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loans or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the stated interest rate or the stated rates at which fees are payable with respect to any such Loan or Commitment, postpones the Commitment Termination Date, or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases from liability any Borrower or any Guarantor or releases any substantial portion of any of the Collateral.
14.2.3. Benefit of Set-Off. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off provided in Section 12.4 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent and subject to the same requirements under this Agreement (including Section 13.5) as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of set-off
106
provided in Section 12.4 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant by exercising the right of set-off provided in Section 12.4 agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of set-off, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 13.5 as if each Participant were a Lender. This Section 14.2.3 is subject to the limitations set forth in the last sentence of Section 12.4.
14.2.4. Notices. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent that any such notice may be required, and neither Administrative Agent nor any other Lender shall have any obligation, duty or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to give notices or to provide documents or information to a Participant of another Lender.
14.3. Assignments.
14.3.1. Permitted Assignments. Subject to its compliance with Section 14.3.2, a Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time assign to any Eligible Assignee all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, so long as (i) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, ratable percentage of all of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the Loans and the LC Obligations and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (ii) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents or an assignment by one original signatory to this Agreement to another such signatory, immediately after giving effect to any assignment, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its discretion); and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. Nothing contained herein shall limit in any way the right of a Lender to pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement or with respect to any of the Obligations to (x) any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided that, in each case, no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for any Lender as a party hereto, (y) direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements relating to the Loans, provided that any payment by Borrowers to the assigning Lender in respect of any assigned Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrowers’ obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Obligations to the extent of such payment, and no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
14.3.2. Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to Administrative Agent of a notice of assignment substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto, together with any consents required by Section 14.3.1, and (ii) the recordation of the assignment on the Register and (iii) payment of a $1,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing any assignment to an Eligible Assignee that is not an Affiliate of the transferor Lender, such assignment shall become effective. The Assignment and Acceptance shall contain a representation and warranty by the Eligible Assignee that the assignment evidenced thereby will not result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and the other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and no further consent or action by Borrowers, Lenders or Administrative Agent shall be required
107
to release the transferor Lender with respect to the Commitment (or portion thereof) of such Lender and Obligations assigned to such Eligible Assignee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Eligible Assignee shall be subject to and bound by all of the Loan Documents. Upon the consummation of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to this Section 14.3, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Eligible Assignee, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. If the transferor Lender shall have assigned all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.3.1, then (i) such transferor Lender shall no longer have any obligation to indemnify Administrative Agent with respect to any transactions, events or occurrences that transpire after the effective date of such assignment, (ii) each Eligible Assignee to which such transferor Lender shall make an assignment shall be responsible to Administrative Agent to indemnify Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement with respect to transactions, events and occurrences transpiring on and after the effective date of such assignment to it, and (iii) the transferor Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of those provisions of the Loan Documents (including indemnities from Obligors) that survive Full Payment of the Obligations.
14.3.3. Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender and Administrative Agent to disclose to any Participant, any Eligible Assignee or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”), and any prospective Transferee, any and all information in Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s possession concerning each Borrower, the Subsidiaries of each Borrower or the Collateral, subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings on the part of such Transferee.
14.4. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 5.9.3.
SECTION 15. MISCELLANEOUS
15.1. Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent (and all Persons designated by Administrative Agent) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney (and agent in-fact) and Administrative Agent, or Administrative Agent’s designee, may, without notice to such Borrower and in either such Borrower’s or Administrative Agent’s name, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers:
15.1.1. At such time or times as Administrative Agent or said designee, in its discretion, may determine during the continuance of Restrictive Trigger Event, endorse such Borrower’s name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of the Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) which come into the possession of Administrative Agent or under Administrative Agent’s control.
15.1.2. At any time that an Event of Default exists and subject to Applicable Law: (i) demand payment of the Accounts from the Account Debtors, enforce payment of the Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise all of such Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, discharge or release any of the Accounts or other Collateral or any legal proceedings brought to collect any of the Accounts or other Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any of the Accounts and other Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as Administrative Agent deems advisable; (iv) prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s name to a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor or to any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with any of the
108
Collateral; (v) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Borrower and to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Administrative Agent may designate; (vi) endorse the name of such Borrower upon any Payment Item relating to any Collateral and deposit the same to the account of Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations; (vii) endorse the name of such Borrower upon any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice, freight xxxx, xxxx of lading or similar document or agreement relating to any Accounts or Inventory of any Obligor and any other Collateral; (viii) use such Borrower’s stationery and sign the name of such Borrower to verifications of the Accounts and notices thereof to Account Debtors; (ix) use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to any Collateral; (x) make and adjust claims under policies of insurance; (xi) sign the name of such Borrower to and file any proof of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor and on notices of Liens; (xii) take all action as may be necessary to obtain the payment of any letter of credit or banker’s acceptance of which such Borrower is a beneficiary; and (xiii) do all other acts and things necessary, in Administrative Agent’s determination, to fulfill such Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.
15.2. General Indemnity. Whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents are consummated, each Borrower agrees to indemnify and defend the Indemnitees and hold the Indemnitees harmless from and against any Claims that may be instituted or asserted against or are incurred by any of the Indemnitees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any Claims instituted or asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees (x) under any Environmental Laws or (other similar laws by reason of a Borrower’s or any other Person’s failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials or other toxic substances) or (y) under any Anti-Terrorism Laws, including any fines assessed against Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Governmental Authority as a result of conduct of an Obligor. Additionally, if any Taxes (excluding Excluded Taxes but including any intangibles tax, stamp tax or recording tax) shall be payable by any party on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other Loan Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, Borrowers shall pay (and shall promptly reimburse Administrative Agent and Lenders for their payment of) all such Taxes, including any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold Indemnitees harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith.
15.3. Survival of and Limitations Upon Indemnities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the obligation of each Borrower and each Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in this Agreement shall survive the Full Payment of the Obligations, the termination of any of the Commitments and the resignation of Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower shall have any obligation under this Agreement to indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to any Claim to the extent that it is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Claim resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
15.4. Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement and all prior amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement, but does not constitute and is not intended to create a novation or accord and satisfaction; all of the Revolver Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the date hereof shall be deemed to be outstanding under this Agreement and shall be governed in all respects by, and shall accrue interest and be repaid in accordance with, this Agreement; and all security interests and other Liens granted or conveyed with respect to the Collateral pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and other Existing Loan Documents shall continue in effect and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute a termination, release or extinguishment of any Lien in favor of Administrative Agent that was in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Each Borrower
109
acknowledges and agrees that the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement by this Agreement is not intended to constitute, nor does it constitute, a novation, interruption, suspension of continuity, satisfaction, discharge or termination of the obligations, loans, liabilities, or indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement and other Existing Loan Documents or the collateral security and guaranties therefor, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are entitled to all rights and benefits originally pertaining to the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Existing Loan Documents. By executing this Agreement, Borrowers ratify and reaffirm all of their liabilities and obligations under the Existing Loan Documents and agree that all such liabilities and obligations are carried forward in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition to the additional Loan Documents executed and delivered on the Post-Confirmation Effective Date pursuant to this Agreement, the guaranties, liens, security interests, pledges, covenants and agreements set forth in the Existing Loan Documents and each of such other collateral security documents are made and granted to secure and support the Obligations under this Agreement as if the same were made or granted on the date hereof.
15.5. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
15.6. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Other Agreements and the Security Documents are hereby made cumulative with the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters and that such limitations, tests and measures are cumulative and each must be performed, except as may be expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in any of the other Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement is in direct conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.
15.7. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Loan Documents may be executed by facsimile and the effectiveness of any such Loan Documents and signatures thereon shall, subject to Applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all parties thereto. Administrative Agent may require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof, provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile signature.
15.8. Consent. Whenever the consent of Administrative Agent or Lenders (or any combination of Lenders) is required to be obtained under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as a condition to any action, inaction, condition or event, each party whose consent is required shall be authorized to give or withhold its consent in its discretion and to condition its consent upon the giving of additional collateral security for the Obligations, the payment of money or any other matter.
15.9. Notices and Communications.
15.9.1. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1.5, all notices, requests and other communications to or upon a party hereto shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at the address or facsimile number for such party on the
110
signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the date hereof, at the address shown on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance by which such Person became a Lender) or at such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to Administrative Agent and Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15.9.
15.9.2. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1.5, each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the facsimile number specified herein for the noticed party and confirmation of receipt is received, (ii) if given by mail, 3 Business Days after such communication is deposited in the U.S. Mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the noticed party at the address specified herein, or (iii) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party. In no event shall a voicemail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation under any of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to or upon Administrative Agent or BofA pursuant to Sections 2.3, 3.1.2, 4.1 or 6.2.2 shall be effective until after actually received by Administrative Agent. Any written notice, request or demand that is not sent in conformity with the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such notice, request or demand is actually received by the individual to whose attention at the noticed party such notice, request or demand is required to be sent. Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have been received by all Borrowers.
15.9.3. Electronic mail and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and other information required by Section 8 and Section 10.1.3, and to distribute Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose as effective notice under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be authorized to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic communications) purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if such notices were made in a manner other than as specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified or required herein, or the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify and defend each Indemnitee from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by any such Indemnitee on each telephone communication purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower other than to the extent constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee.
15.10. Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations. If any Borrower shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to Applicable Law, for such Borrower’s account and at Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of Borrowers hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Administrative Agent to (i) enforce any of the Loan Documents or collect any of the Obligations, (ii) preserve, protect, insure or maintain or realize upon any of the Collateral, or (iii) preserve, defend, protect or maintain the validity or priority of Administrative Agent’s Liens in any of the Collateral, including the payment of any judgment against any Borrower. All payments that Administrative Agent may make under this Section and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) that Administrative Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it hereunder shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Borrowers, on demand, with interest from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable for Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or other action taken by Administrative Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, an Event of Default hereunder and to without prejudice to Administrative Agent’s right proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.
111
15.11. Credit Inquiries. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and permits Administrative Agent and Lenders (but Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
15.12. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement, the Other Agreements and the Security Documents.
15.13. Indulgences Not Waivers. Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s failure at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Administrative Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.
15.14. Entire Agreement; Exhibits and Schedules. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all other instruments, agreements and certificates executed by the parties pursuant to any Loan Document, embody the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and inducements, whether express or implied, oral or written, regarding the same subject matter. Each of the Exhibits and each of the Schedules attached hereto are incorporated into this Agreement and by this reference made a part hereof.
15.15. Interpretation. No provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, structured, drafted or dictated such provision. The paragraph and section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the substantive meaning of any provision of this Agreement.
15.16. Obligations of Lenders Several. The Obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute Lenders to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled, to the extent not otherwise restricted hereunder, to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, and it shall not he necessary for Administrative Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
15.17. Confidentiality. Administrative Agent and Lenders each agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of any Information (defined below) for a period of 24 months following the Commitment Termination Date, except that Administrative Agent and any Lender may disclose such information (i) to their respective Affiliates and individuals employed or retained by Administrative Agent or such Lender who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring, administering or otherwise giving professional advice with respect to any of the Loans or Collateral, including any of their respective legal counsel, auditors or other professional advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (ii) to any party to this Agreement from time to time; (iii) pursuant to Applicable Law, the order of any court or administrative agency provided, however, that, prior to disclosure pursuant to this clause (iii), reasonable efforts shall be made to give the Borrowers notice of request for disclosure and the Borrowers shall be given a reasonable opportunity, at its expense, to prevent the disclosure or have the Information maintained as confidential under a protective order; (iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s regulatory compliance policies,
112
(v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation (with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby) to which Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be a party, (vi) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder, (vii) to any actual or proposed Participant, Eligible Assignee or any other Transferee of all or part of a Lender’s rights hereunder so long as such Person has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section, (viii) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about Lender’s portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, or (ix) with the consent of Borrowers. As used in this Section 15.17, “Information” means all information received from the Obligors relating to an Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to Agent or Lenders on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by an Obligor.
15.18. Certifications Regarding Senior Note Indenture. Each Borrower hereby certifies to Administrative Agent and Lenders that neither the execution or performance of this Agreement by Borrowers nor the incurrence of any Debt pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Borrowers violates the Senior Note Indenture, including Sections 4.09 or 4.12 of the Senior Note Indenture. Each Borrower further certifies to Administrative Agent and Lenders that this Agreement constitutes a “Credit Agreement” under the Senior Note Indenture, that all Loans collectively constitute “Permitted Indebtedness” under the “Credit Agreement” and that the Liens of Administrative Agent hereunder are permitted under the Senior Note Indenture.
15.19. Governing Law. This Agreement has been negotiated, executed and delivered, and shall be deemed to have been made, in New York, New York, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (but without regard to conflict of law principles) of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal laws relating to national banks.
15.20. USA Patriot Act Notice. Administrative Agent hereby notifies Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Administrative Agent is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow Administrative Agent to identify each Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.
15.21. Consent to Forum. Each Borrower hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States federal court sitting in or with direct or indirect jurisdiction over the Southern District of New York or any New York state or superior court sitting in New York County, New York, in any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and each Borrower irrevocably agrees that all claims and demands in respect of any such action, suit or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and irrevocably waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Any judicial proceeding commenced by any Borrower against Administrative Agent, BofA, any Lender or any holder of any of the Obligations, or any Affiliate of Administrative Agent, BofA, any Lender or any holder of any Obligations, involving, directly or indirectly, any matter in any way arising out of, related to or connected with any Loan Document shall be brought only in a United States federal court sitting in or with direct jurisdiction over the Southern District of New York or any New York state or superior court sitting in New York County, New York. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude the enforcement by Administrative Agent of any judgment or order obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce same in any other appropriate forum or jurisdiction.
113
15.22. Waivers by Borrowers. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower waives (i) the right to trial by jury (which Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby also waive) in any action, suit, proceeding or counterclaim of any kind arising out of or related to any of the Loan Documents, the Obligations or the Collateral; (ii) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, protest, default, non payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Administrative Agent on which such Borrower may in any way be liable and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Administrative Agent may do in this regard in connection with an Enforcement Action by Administrative Agent; (iii) notice prior to taking possession or control of the Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Administrative Agent to exercise any of Administrative Agent’s remedies; (iv) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (v) any claim against Administrative Agent or any Lender, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of, or the taking of any Enforcement Action; or related to any of the Loan Documents, any transaction thereunder or the use of the proceeds of any Loans; and (vi) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ entering into this Agreement and that Administrative Agent and Lenders are relying upon the foregoing waivers in its future dealings with Borrowers. Each Borrower warrants and represents that it has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
15.23. Release of Claims. To induce Administrative Agent and Lender to enter into this Agreement, each Borrower hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Administrative Agent and Lender, and all officers, directors, attorneys, agents, employees, successors and assigns of Administrative Agent and Lender, from any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature (if there be any), whether absolute or contingent, disputed or undisputed, at law or in equity, or known or unknown, that such Borrower now has or ever had against Administrative Agent or Lender arising on or prior to the Post-Confirmation Effective Date under or in connection with or related to the Existing Credit Agreement, any of the other Existing Loan Documents or the Collateral. Each Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lender that such Borrower has not transferred or assigned to any Person any such claim that such Borrower ever had or claimed to have against Administrative Agent or Lender.
