The
Credits
SECTION
2.01. Revolving
Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, each Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers from time
to
time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount
that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and
reborrow Revolving Loans.
SECTION
2.02. Loans
and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline
Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same
Type
made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to
be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder,
provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender
shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as
required.
(b) Subject
to Section 2.13, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of
ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the applicable Borrower may request in
accordance herewith, provided that all Borrowings made on the Amendment
Effective Date must be made as ABR Borrowings unless the applicable Borrower
shall have provided an indemnity satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
extending the benefits of Section 2.15 to Lenders in respect of such
Borrowings. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each
Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or
foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided
that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the
applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) At
the
commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. At the time that each ABR
Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. Each
Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000
and not less than $1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and
Class may be outstanding at the same time, provided that there shall not
at any time be more than a total of 15 Eurodollar Borrowings
outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an ABR
Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that
is
equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Revolving Commitments or
that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
contemplated by Section 2.05(e).
(d) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, neither Borrower shall be entitled to
request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest
Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Maturity
Date.
44
SECTION
2.03. Requests
for Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing, a Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in
the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New
York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed
Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, including to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e), not
later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed
Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy (or
by
electronic transmission with telephonic confirmation of receipt thereof) to
the
Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower. Each such
telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information
in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
(ii) the
date
of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether
such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
(iv) in
the
case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable
thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term
“Interest Period”; and
(v) the
location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be
disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of
Section 2.04.
If
no
election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing
shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with
respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed
to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of
the
amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested
Borrowing.
SECTION
2.04. Funding
of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to
be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account
of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders, provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as
provided in Section 2.19. The Administrative Agent will make such
funds transferred to it available to the applicable Borrower by promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower
maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by
such
Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans
made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section
2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing
Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to
Section 2.05(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such
Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.
(b) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to
the
proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to
the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the
45
Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available at such time
in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon
such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the applicable
Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not
in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the
date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date
of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in such Borrowing.
SECTION
2.05. Letters
of Credit. (a) General. (i) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) either Borrower may request
the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, (B) FCX may request
the
issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Restricted Subsidiary
(other than PTFI) and (C) subject to Section 6.04 and to the last sentence
of this paragraph, FCX may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the
account of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, in any case in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at
any
time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability
Period. The issuance of any Letter of Credit for the account of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to constitute an Investment in an
Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 6.04 in the stated amount of
such Letter of Credit.
(ii)
On the Effective Date, each
Issuing Bank that had issued an Existing Letter of Credit was deemed, without
further action by any party hereto, to have granted to each Lender and each
Lender was deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank a participation
in
such Existing Letter of Credit in accordance with paragraph (d)
below. The applicable Issuing Banks and the Lenders that were also
party to the PD Credit Agreement and the Existing Credit Agreement agreed that
concurrently with such grant, the participations in the Existing Letters of
Credit granted to such lenders under the PD Credit Agreement or the Existing
Credit Agreement, as applicable, were automatically canceled without further
action by any of the parties thereto. On and after the Effective Date
each Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute a Letter of Credit for all
purposes hereof. Any Lender that issued an Existing Letter of Credit
but shall not have entered into an Issuing Bank Agreement shall have the rights
of an Issuing Bank as to such Letter of Credit for purposes of this Section
2.05.
(iii)
The Lenders hereby agree that
upon the effectiveness of any redesignation of a Letter of Credit under Section
2.05(a)(iii) of the Parent Credit Agreement (a “PA Letter of Credit”) as
a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit shall
be
deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have granted to each
Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing
Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit in accordance with paragraph
(d)
below, and on and after the effectiveness of any such redesignation, such Letter
of Credit shall constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof;
provided in each case that (A) the applicable Borrower shall by notice to
the Administrative Agent identify the PA Letters of Credit to be redesignated
and certify that the conditions to such redesignation set forth in the following
clause (B) are satisfied and that no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; and (B) no redesignation of a Letter of Credit shall become
effective hereunder unless after giving effect to such redesignation the
conditions precedent to the
46
issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit under this Agreement
shall
be satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 9.02).
(iv)
Upon the Effective Date, the
holders immediately prior to the Effective Date of participations in any
outstanding letters of credit under the Existing Credit Agreement were deemed
to
release their participations in such letters of credit and concurrently, each
Revolving Lender on the Effective Date was deemed to acquire a participation
in
such letters of credit under this Agreement in an amount equal to such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage on the Effective Date of the aggregate amount available
to
be drawn under such Letter of Credit.
(b) Notice
of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the
amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), a Borrower
shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank)
to
the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance
of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice
requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on
which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the
name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall
be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of
Credit. If requested by an Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also
shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form
in connection with any request to it for a Letter of Credit. A Letter
of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower
shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not,
taken together with the “LC Exposure” under the Parent Credit Agreement, exceed
$1,000,000,000, (ii) the Unrestricted Subsidiary LC Exposure shall not
exceed $150,000,000 and (iii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not
exceed the total Revolving Commitments. The Borrower shall certify at
the time of each such request in respect of a Letter of Credit for the account
of an Unrestricted Subsidiary that an Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary
would be permitted at such time in the amount of such Letter of Credit under
Section 6.04.
(c) Expiration
Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close
of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the
issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension
thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that
is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; provided,
however, that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower
that shall have requested such Letter of Credit (a “Requesting
Borrower”), include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be
renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of one year or less
(but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving
Maturity Date) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary
thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that
such
Letter of Credit will not be renewed.
(d) Participations. By
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit
increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of
the
applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby
grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires
from
such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such
Lender’s Applicable
47
Percentage
of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and
not
reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of
this
Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to either
Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and
agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph
in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not
be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default
or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment
shall
be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement. If
an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit,
the Requesting Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the
Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than
2:00
p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if
such
Requesting Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior
to
10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been
received by such Requesting Borrower prior to such time on such date, then
not
later than (i) 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day that such
Requesting Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior
to
10:00 a.m., New York City time on the day of receipt, or (ii) 12:00 noon, New
York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that such
Requesting Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior
to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt; provided that
such Requesting Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth
herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.19 that such payment be
financed with a Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so
financed, such Requesting Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing. If a Requesting
Borrower fails to make such a payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall
notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment
then
due from such Requesting Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such
notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its
Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from such Requesting Borrower,
in
the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by
such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatismutandis,
to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received
by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from a Requesting Borrower pursuant to
this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Lenders have made payments
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders
and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made
by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any
LC
Disbursement (other than the funding of Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan
as
contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the
applicable Requesting Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC
Disbursement.
(f) Obligations
Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements
as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever
and
irrespective of
48
(i)
any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement,
or
any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under
a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect
or
any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment
by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft
or
other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit,
or
(iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any
of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute
a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the
Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall
have
any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance
or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any
payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in
the
preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in
transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under
or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any
consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing
Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an
Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages
(as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby
waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered
by
the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care
when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter
of
Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly
agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the
part
of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction),
such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such
determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting
the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents
presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the
terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either
accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or
refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are
not
in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g) Disbursement
Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its
receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit and shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent and the Requesting Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such
demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC
Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve the Requesting Borrower of its obligation
to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any
such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim
Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement,
then, unless the Requesting Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in
full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall
bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement
is
made to but excluding the date that the Requesting Borrower reimburses such
LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans;
provided that, if the Requesting Borrower fails to reimburse such LC
Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then
Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this
paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that
interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse
49
such
Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent
of
such payment.
(i) Replacement
of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time
by written agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the replaced
Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent
shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing
Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the
effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall
have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement
with
respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references
herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or
to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing
Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an
Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto
and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank
under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to
such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit.
(j) Cash
Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing or if the Borrowers are required to provide cash collateral pursuant
to Section 2.10(b) or if FCX gives written notice to the Administrative
Agent that it elects to provide cash collateral for purposes of Section 6.14
and
6.15, on the Business Day on which the Borrowers receive notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater
than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, or on the date FCX provides notice of such election,
as applicable, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative
Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to
deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such
deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice
of any kind, (i) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to
either Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII or (ii)
upon the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section
2.10(b). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent
as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the
Borrowers under this Agreement, and the Borrowers hereby grant the Lenders
a
security interest in all funds and investments in such account to secure such
obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion
and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such
account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such
deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion
of
the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits
shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks
for
LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent
not
so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations
of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the
Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders
with
LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure),
be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or
FCX
elects to provide such collateral for purposes of Section 6.14 and 6.15, such
amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the
Borrowers (i) in the case of any Event of
50
Default,
within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or
waived, or (ii) in the case of any such election, after the delivery of
financial statements showing compliance with the financial ratio requirements
set forth in Sections 6.14 and 6.15 or after receipt of written consent to
such
release from the Required Lenders.
(k) Issuing
Bank Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative
Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent
(i)
on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day)
in
respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding week, including
all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and
cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to
each
Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend
any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued,
amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount
thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit
any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the
amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written
confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under
this
Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any
LC
Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC
Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Requesting Borrower fails
to
reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank
on
such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and
(v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably request.
SECTION
2.06. Interest
Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of
the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or deemed by Section
2.03, and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest
Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or deemed by Section
2.03. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such
Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case
of
a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided
in
this Section. A Borrower may elect different options with respect to
different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion
shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline
Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.
(b) To
make
an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify
the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing
Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were
requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to
be
made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic
Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly
by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest
Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed
by
the applicable Borrower.
(c) Each
telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02 (including with respect to
minimum amounts and borrowing multiples relating to any resulting
Borrowing):
(i) the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the
51
portions
thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the
information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below
shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the
effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request,
which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether
the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
and
(iv) if
the
resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If
any
such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not
specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to
have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d) Promptly
following receipt of an Interest Election Request with respect to a Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and
of
such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e) If
the
applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with
respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein,
at
the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at
the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as
an
Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be
converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid,
each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end
of
the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION
2.07. Termination
and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously
terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity
Date.
(b) FCX
may
at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any
Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any
Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and
not
less than $5,000,000, (ii) FCX shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving
Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Loans and
provision of cash collateral, in each case in accordance with
Section 2.10(b), the aggregate Revolving Exposures (excluding the LC
Exposure with respect to which cash collateral has been provided in accordance
with Section 2.10(b)) would exceed the total Revolving Commitments, and (iii)
FCX shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments unless it has
obtained the prior approval required therefor under Section 6.11(b) of the
Parent Credit Agreement.
(c) FCX
shall
notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the
Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section, at least three Business
Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying
such election or reduction and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice
52
delivered
by FCX pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a
notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by FCX may state
that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other financings
or of
asset dispositions, in which case such notice may be revoked by FCX (by notice
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if
such
condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the
Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance
with the amounts of their Commitments of such Class.
SECTION
2.08. Repayment of
Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such
Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the
then
unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving
Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is
the
15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after
such Swingline Loan is made, provided that on each date that a Revolving
Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that were
outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested.
(b) Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting
from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
hereunder.
(c) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and Class thereof and
the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to
each
Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s
share thereof.
(d) The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b)
or (c) of this Section shall be primafacie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that
the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts
or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of either
Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(e) Any
Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute
and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender
(or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns)
and
in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans
evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one
or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named
therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and
its
registered assigns).
SECTION
2.09. [intentionally
omitted]
SECTION
2.10. Prepayment
of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at
any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part,
without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of this Section and
to
the making of any payment required under Section 2.15.
53
(b) In
the
event and on each occasion on or prior to the Revolving Maturity Date that
the
sum of the Revolving Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, the
Borrowers shall prepay Revolving Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to
such
excess; provided that if no Revolving Borrowings are outstanding and the
LC Exposure exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall provide
cash collateral in an aggregate amount equal to such excess in accordance with
Section 2.05(j).
(c) Prior
to
any prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrowers shall select the Borrowing
or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice
of
such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section.
(d) The
applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case
of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed
by
telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three
Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time,
on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing
or
portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that if a notice of optional
voluntary prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of
termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07(c), then
such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is
revoked in accordance with Section 2.07(c). Promptly following
receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline
Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an
amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of
the
same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to
the extent required by Section 2.12.
SECTION
2.11. Fees. (a) The
Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily
average unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the
period from and including the Amendment Effective Date, to but excluding the
date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment
fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September
and
December of each year, and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Amendment
Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of
computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed
to
be used to the extent of the outstanding Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender
(and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such
purpose).
(b) Each
Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to such Lender’s
participation in Letters of Credit requested by such Borrower, which shall
accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate
applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such
Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed
LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Amendment Effective
Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment terminates and the date on which such
54
Lender
ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting
fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon
between the Borrowers and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of
the
LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)
during the period from and including the Amendment Effective Date to but
excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments
and
the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as each Issuing
Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and
including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year
shall
be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on
the
first such date to occur after the Amendment Effective Date; provided
that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate (and, if later, the date on which there ceases to be
any
Revolving Exposure) and any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other
fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable
within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day).
(c) The
Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees
payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
(d) All
fees
payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees
payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and
participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable
under any circumstances.
SECTION
2.12. Interest. (a) The
Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall
bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) The
Loans
comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate for
the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable
Rate.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other
amount payable by either Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at
stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall,
on
and after the date the Required Lenders so request, bear interest, after as
well
as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue
principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as
provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of
any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided
in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(d) Accrued
interest on each Loan made to a Borrower shall be payable by such Borrower
in
arrears on each Interest Payment Date for each such Loan and, in the case of
Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided
that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section
shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or
prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior
to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued
55
interest
on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor,
accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion.
(e) All
interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except
that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when
the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis
of
a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBO
Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION
2.13. Alternate
Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(a) the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b) the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate
for
such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for
such
Interest Period;
then
the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders
by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
SECTION
2.14. Increased
Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
by,
any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in Eurodollar Reserve
Requirements) or any Issuing Bank; or
(ii) impose
on
any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender
or
any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and
the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender
of
making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation
to
make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing
Bank
of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing
Bank
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case by or
in
an amount which such Lender in its sole judgment deems material in the context
of this Agreement and its Loans or participations in Letters of Credit
hereunder, then the relevant Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
56
such
Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If
any
Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers at any
time to the effect that Eurodollar Reserve Requirements are, or are scheduled
to
become, effective and that such Lender is or will be generally subject to such
Eurodollar Reserve Requirements as a result of which such Lender will incur
additional costs, then such Lender shall, for each day from the later of the
date of such notice and the date on which such Eurodollar Reserve Requirements
become effective, be entitled to additional interest on each Eurodollar Loan
made by it at a rate per annum determined for such day (rounded upward, if
necessary, to the nearest 100th of 1%) equal to the remainder obtained by
subtracting (i) the LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Loan from (ii) the
rate obtained by dividing such LIBO Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus
the
then-applicable Eurodollar Reserve Requirements. Such additional
interest will be payable in arrears to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of such Lender, on each Interest Payment Date relating to such Eurodollar Loan
and on any other date when interest is required to be paid hereunder with
respect to such Loan. Any Lender which gives notice under this
paragraph (b) shall promptly withdraw such notice (by written notice of
withdrawal given to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers) in the event
Eurodollar Reserve Requirements cease to apply to it or the circumstances giving
rise to such notice otherwise cease to exist.
(c) If
any
Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or
such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement
or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such
Lender or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below
that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing
Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), by an amount which such Lender in its sole judgment deems
to
be material in the context of this Agreement and its Loans, Commitments and
participations in Letters of Credit hereunder, then from time to time the
Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing
Bank
or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.
(d) A
certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company,
as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (c) of this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrowers (or the Borrower in respect of the Loan
or Letter of Credit, if any, to which such compensation request is attributable)
shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(e) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more
than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to
such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that,
if
57
the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION
2.15. Break
Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan to a Borrower other than on the last day of
an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to a Borrower other
than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the
failure by a Borrower to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar
Loan
on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of
whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(f) and is revoked in
accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan of a
Borrower other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto
as
a result of a request by FCX pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such
event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender
shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess,
if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate
that
would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such
event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in
the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would
have
been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest
which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest
rate
which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period,
for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the
eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The relevant Borrower shall pay such Lender the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.
SECTION
2.16. Taxes. (a) Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of either Borrower or any
other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;
provided that if either Borrower shall be required to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case
may
be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and
(iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In
addition, each Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Each
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing
Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of
any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment
by
or on account of any obligation of a Borrower hereunder or under any other
Loan
Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on
or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest
and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or
asserted by the relevant Governmental
58
Authority,
provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to
make payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant
to this Section in respect of penalties, interest and other liabilities
attributable to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes if such penalties, interest
and other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a
Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on
its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.
(d) As
soon
as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by either
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.
(e) If
the
Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the
Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall
pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section
2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net
of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such
Issuing Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the
Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such
Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in
the
event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required
to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
(f) Any
Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which either Borrower is located,
or
any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
under
this Agreement shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law
or
reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate,
provided that such Foreign Lender has received written notice from such
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, advising it of the
availability of such exemption or reduction and supplying all applicable
documentation.
(g) Nothing
contained in this Section 2.16 shall require the Administrative Agent, the
FI
Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Security Agent, any Issuing Bank or any
Lender (or permitted assignee or Participant) to make available any of its
income tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential
or
proprietary.
(h) PTFI
shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority when due all Indonesian Taxes
in accordance with applicable law.
(i) PTFI
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the FI Trustee, the Collateral Agent,
the Security Agent, each Lender (or permitted assignee or Participant)
59
and
each
Issuing Bank against, and shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, the FI
Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Security Agent, each Lender (or permitted
assignee or Participant) and each Issuing Bank upon demand for, the full amount
of any Indonesian Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, the FI Trustee, the
Collateral Agent, the Security Agent, such Lender (or permitted assignee or
Participant) or such Issuing Bank, and any loss, liability, claim or expense
(including interest, penalties, fines, surcharges and legal fees) which the
Administrative Agent, the FI Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Security Agent,
such Lender (or permitted assignee or Participant) or such Issuing Bank may
incur at any time arising out of or in connection with any failure of PTFI
to
make any payments of Indonesian Taxes, whether or not such Indonesian Taxes
were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority;
provided, however, that PTFI shall not be obligated to make
payment to the Administrative Agent, the FI Trustee, the Collateral Agent,
the
Security Agent, each Lender (or permitted assignee or Participant) or any
Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in respect of penalties, interest and
other liabilities attributable to any Indonesian Taxes if such penalties,
interest and other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or
wilful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, FI Trustee, the Collateral Agent,
the Security Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank; provided,
further, that no permitted assignee or Participant of any Lender shall
be
entitled to receive any greater payment under this Section than such Lender
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights assigned,
participated or otherwise transferred unless such assignment, participation
or
transfer shall have been made at a time when the circumstances giving rise
to
such greater payment did not exist. A certificate as to the amount of
such payment or liability delivered to PTFI by a Lender (or permitted assignee
or Participant), the FI Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Security Agent,
an
Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error,
shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such
indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Lender (or
permitted assignee or Participant), the FI Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the
Security Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case
may
be, makes written demand therefor.
(j) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in paragraph (m) below, all payments on account
of
the principal of or interest on the Loans made to PTFI, any promissory notes
of
PTFI issued hereunder and all other amounts payable by PTFI to or for the
account of any Lender (or permitted assignee or Participant), an Issuing Bank,
the Collateral Agent, the Security Agent or the Administrative Agent hereunder
(including amounts payable under Section 2.16(h) or 2.16(i)) or to or for
the FI Trustee under the FI Security Documents and to any of them under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by
reason of any Indonesian Taxes all of which shall be for the account of and
paid
in full when due by PTFI. In the event that PTFI is required by any
applicable law, decree or regulation to deduct or withhold Indonesian Taxes
from
any amounts payable on, under or in respect of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any promissory note issued hereunder, PTFI shall make the required
deduction or withholding, promptly pay the amount of such Indonesian Taxes
to
the appropriate taxing authorities and pay to the Administrative Agent such
additional amounts as may be required, after the deduction or withholding of
Indonesian Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.16), to enable each Lender (or permitted assignee or
Participant), each Issuing Bank, the FI Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the
Security Agent or the Administrative Agent to receive from PTFI on the due
date
thereof, an amount equal to the full amount stated to be payable to such Lender
(or permitted assignee or Participant), such Issuing Bank, the FI Trustee,
the
Collateral Agent, the Security Agent or the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement, any other applicable Loan Document or any promissory note issued
hereunder.
60
(k) Without
in any way affecting PTFI’s obligations under the other provisions of this
Section 2.16, PTFI shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the originals
or certified copies of all tax receipts issued by the relevant taxing authority
in respect of each payment, deduction or withholding of Indonesian Taxes
required to be made by applicable laws or regulations, as soon as practicable
and in any event not later than 90 days after the date on which such
payment is made, and PTFI shall, at the request of any Lender (or permitted
assignee or Participant), the Issuing Bank, the FI Trustee or the Administrative
Agent, promptly furnish to such Lender (or permitted assignee or Participant),
the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Security Agent, the FI Trustee
or
the Administrative Agent any other information, documents and receipts that
such
Lender (or permitted assignee or Participant), the Issuing Bank, the Collateral
Agent, the Security Agent, the FI Trustee or the Administrative Agent may
require to establish to its satisfaction that full and timely payment has been
made of all Indonesian Taxes required to be paid hereunder.
(l) PTFI
will
notify the Lenders (through the Administrative Agent) promptly upon becoming
aware of the application or imposition, or scheduled future application or
imposition, of Indonesian Taxes; and each Lender (if not theretofore notified
by
PTFI) will notify PTFI of any such application or imposition which becomes
known
to its officers then supervising the Loans of such Lender hereunder as part
of
their normal duties, and of any change of its lending office or establishment
or
closing of a branch in Indonesia by such Lender which would give rise to the
application or imposition of Indonesian Taxes.
(m) Each
Lender (or permitted assignee or Participant) having its principal office and
applicable lending office outside of Indonesia (a “Non-Indonesian
Lender”) shall use reasonably diligent efforts to deliver to PTFI
appropriate forms, duly completed, evidencing such Non-Indonesian Lender’s
entitlement (if any) under any applicable tax treaty to a reduced rate of
withholding of Indonesian Taxes with respect to payments of interest on Loans
of
such Non-Indonesian Lender (which, in the case of any Non-Indonesian Lender
that
is organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof including
the District of Columbia, shall be Internal Revenue Service Form 6166 (or
any successor form thereto)) on or prior to the 90th day following (A) the
Amendment Effective Date or (B) in the case of any such Non-Indonesian
Lender that is a permitted assignee or Participant, the date such Non-Indonesian
Lender becomes a permitted assignee or Participant; provided that in the
event a Non-Indonesian Lender is a disregarded entity for United States federal
income tax purposes, such Form 6166 shall be delivered by such Lender’s
parent. Following delivery by a Non-Indonesian Lender to PTFI of the
appropriate form referenced in the preceding sentence of this
Section 2.16(m), duly completed, PTFI is authorized to file such form with
the appropriate Indonesian taxing authorities in order to obtain a reduced
rate
of withholding of Indonesian Taxes with respect to payments of interest on
Loans
of such Non-Indonesian Lender.
Each
Non-Indonesian Lender shall use reasonably diligent efforts to deliver to PTFI
such certificates, forms or other documents as may be necessary under any other
provision of applicable law (including any amendment, modification or supplement
to Form 6166 or such analogous form referred to in the second preceding
sentence) to reduce the withholding rate of Indonesian Taxes with respect to
payments of interest on Loans of such Non-Indonesian Lender on or by the 90th
day following the date on which PTFI shall have delivered to such Non-Indonesian
Lender written notice of the existence of such provision of applicable law
together with a copy thereof (accompanied by a verified English translation
if
such provision of applicable law is not in English); provided,
however, that such Non-Indonesian Lender shall not be required to
61
deliver
any such certificate, form or other document that would, in the reasonable
judgment of such Non-Indonesian Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such
Non-Indonesian Lender; and providedfurther that such
Non-Indonesian Lender shall have no obligation to deliver any such certificates,
forms or other documents that it is not legally able to deliver or with respect
to information deemed by such Non-Indonesian Lender to be confidential or
proprietary.
If
any
Non-Indonesian Lender shall have failed to comply with the requirements of
this
Section 2.16(m) and the effect of such failure is to cause the rate of
withholding of Indonesian Taxes with respect to payments of interest on such
Non-Indonesian Lender’s Loans to be higher than that which would have been
applicable had such certificates, forms or other documents been delivered to
the
applicable Indonesian taxing authority, then any withholding tax indemnity
payment to any such Non-Indonesian Lender by PTFI pursuant to this
Section 2.16 shall be computed as if such certificates, forms or other
documents had been so delivered.
SECTION
2.17. Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of
Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment
required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether
of
principal, interest, fees or reimbursements of LC Disbursements, or of amounts
payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 or otherwise) prior to the time
expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment
(or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City
time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off
or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may,
in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received
on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent
at its offices at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, except payments to be
made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided
herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14 (other than
paragraph (b) thereof), 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the
Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall
be
made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person
to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If
any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business
Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day,
and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be
payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each
Loan Document shall be made in dollars.
(b) If
at any
time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of
principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among
the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c) If
any
Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its
Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans
resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
and Swingline Loans and
62
accrued
interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the
Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
and
Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit
of
all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with
the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans;
provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all
or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent
of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this
paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by either Borrower
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale
of a
participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to
any
assignee or participant, other than to such Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall
apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the
extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring
a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against
either Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower
in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to
the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account
of
the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such
Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date
of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If
any
Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04, 2.05(d) or (e), 2.17(d), 2.19(c) or 9.03(c), then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under
such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.
SECTION
2.18. Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.14 (other than paragraph (b)
thereof), or if either Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant
to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate
a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches
or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.14 (other than paragraph (b) thereof) or 2.16, as the case may
be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would
63
not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If
any
Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 (other than
paragraph (b) thereof), or if either Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of
any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its
obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if any Lender has failed to consent
to a
proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the
terms
of Section 9.02 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with
respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then
FCX
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that
(i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each
Principal Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of
an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations
in
LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees
and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent
of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers
(in
the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result
in a material reduction in such compensation or payments, and (iv) in the case
of any such assignment resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the
assignee shall have given such consent and the fee required under Section
9.04(b)(ii)(C) shall have been paid by such assignee or by a
Borrower. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment
and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver, consent or approval
by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION
2.19. Swingline
Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the
Borrowers from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in
(i)
the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding
$50,000,000 or (ii) the aggregate Revolving Exposures exceeding the aggregate
Revolving Commitments, provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be
required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline
Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow
Swingline Loans.
(b) To
request a Swingline Loan, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent
of
such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 2:00 p.m.,
New
York City time, on the day of such proposed Swingline Loan. Each such
notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall
be
a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The
Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such
notice received from a Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each
Swingline Loan available to the Borrower that shall have requested such
Swingline Loan by means of a credit to the general deposit account of such
Borrower maintained with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a
64
Swingline
Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent
that the Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to
reimburse an Issuing Bank, to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their
interests may appear) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date
of
such Swingline Loan.
(c) The
Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not
later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day require the
Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or
a
portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify
the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will
participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative
Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such
notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline
Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations
in
Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments,
and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its
obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by
such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatismutandis, to the
payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from
the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrowers of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to
this
paragraph, and thereafter (i) each participation so acquired in such Swingline
Loan shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan and (ii) payments in respect of
such
Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the
Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from
the Borrowers (or other party on behalf of the Borrowers) in respect of a
Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale
of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative
Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have
made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender,
as
their interests may appear, provided that any such payment so remitted
shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the
case
may be, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the
Borrowers for any reason. The failure of any Revolving Lender to
purchase any participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall
not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION
3.02. Authorization;
Enforceability. The performance by each Loan Party of the Loan

of
Letters of Credit hereunder and the Transactions to be entered into by each
Loan
Party are within such Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder
action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each
Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party
is or is to be a party, constitutes or when executed and delivered by such
Loan
Party, will constitute, a valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally, concepts of reasonableness and general principles of equity,
regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law.
SECTION
3.03. Governmental

the performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is to
be
party, the Borrowings and the issuances of Letters of Credit hereunder and
the
Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or
filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority,
except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force
and effect, (ii) filings necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan
Documents, (iii) certain consents and approvals that may be required in order
to
provide certain guarantees or to grant certain Liens, in each case contemplated
by the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement or Section 5.12 or 5.13 hereof,
(iv)
the filing of information in respect thereof with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and (v) other consents, approvals, registrations, filings or actions
the failure of which to obtain or make, individually or in the aggregate, would
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will
not
violate the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of either
Borrower or any of the Loan Parties, (c) except to the extent that any such
violations or defaults would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) will not violate any
applicable law or regulation or any order of any Governmental Authority and
(ii)
will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other
instrument binding upon either Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
or
its assets and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien on any asset of either Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
except Liens created under the Loan Documents (including Ratable Liens securing
Ratable Obligations).
SECTION
3.04. Financial
Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) FCX has
heretofore furnished to the Lenders FCX’s consolidated balance sheet and

SECTION
5.10. Compliance
with Laws; Environmental Reports. (a) Each Borrower
will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, (i) comply with all laws, rules,
regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its
property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and
(ii)
comply with all Exchange Filing Requirements.
(b) Except
where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Borrower
76

Environmental Laws applicable to its operations and properties, (ii) obtain
and
renew all permits required by Environmental Laws necessary for its operations
and properties, and (iii) conduct any remedial actions in compliance with
applicable Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the
Borrowers and the Subsidiaries shall not be required to undertake any remedial
action or obtain or renew any environmental permit, or comply with any
Environmental Law to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested
in good faith and by proper proceedings and appropriate reserves, in accordance
with GAAP, are maintained in connection therewith. If either Borrower
is in default of its obligations under this paragraph, the Borrowers will,
at
the request of the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent, provide
to
the Lenders within 60 days after such request, at the expense of the Borrowers,
an environmental site assessment report for the properties to which such default
relates, prepared by an environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable
to
the Administrative Agent and evaluating whether or not Hazardous Materials
are
likely to have been released at or to have adversely affected the property,
or
otherwise resulted in Environmental Liability and the estimated cost of any
compliance or remedial action in connection with such matters.
(c) Each
Borrower will in good faith and with commercially reasonable efforts, and will
similarly cause each Subsidiary to, in all material respects, operate its future
major new mining projects (including the Tenke Fungurume project) and related
activities in accordance with applicable IFC Guidelines and World Bank
Guidelines in existence on December 31, 2006, and as referenced in Annex A
to
the ERM Report, as appropriate to the nature of such new major project,
including with respect to the Otomona River at closure; provided,
however, that such requirement will not apply to future major new
mining
projects that are located in the United States or in other jurisdictions where
the applicable rules with respect to environmental issues are generally
equivalent or more stringent than the IFC and World Bank Guidelines referenced
above. With respect to existing operations in Indonesia, PTFI will
maintain majority compliance with applicable World Bank Guidelines and IFC
Guidelines in existence on December 31, 2006, except where noted and accepted
in
the ERM Report. In addition, PTFI will conduct its operations in
accordance with the current International Council on Mining and Metals’ (ICMM)
principles referenced in Schedule 5.10A, and adhere to ICMM current commitments
on World Heritage properties included in Schedule 5.10B. In addition,

(d) Each
Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, in good faith,
use
commercially reasonable efforts to work to satisfactorily address the open

scope and detail appropriate for a newly developed mining project based on
the
applicable World Bank Guidelines and IFC performance standards in existence
on
December 31, 2006. Each Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary
to, in good faith, use commercially reasonable efforts to work to satisfactorily
address any open regulatory issues (consistent with the Amended and Restated
Mining Convention dated September 28, 2005) with any Governmental Authority
identified in the TFM Report.
77
(f) The
Lenders shall have the right, at Borrower’s expense, to have ERM or another
consultant reasonably acceptable to the Borrower update each of the ERM Report
and the TFM Report once during the term of this facility. The
Borrower will promptly and in good faith report to the Credit Agents and the
Lenders any unanticipated material adverse environmental, social or health
and
safety developments.
SECTION
5.11. Use
of

after the end of such fiscal quarter, notify the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Security Agent and the Lenders thereof and cause the

satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or Security Agent, as applicable, as to
the

the Security Agent or the Required Lenders, PTFI will cause such assets to
be

interest paid on the Loans by PTFI to any Lender (or permitted assignee or
Participant) which is not a “related person” to PTFI within the meaning of

Unrestricted Subsidiary), (A) the Incurrence Test would be satisfied and

Designation and (y) a certificate, dated the effective date of such
Designation, of a Financial Officer of FCX stating that no Event of Default
has
occurred and is continuing, specifying whether such Designation is made in

maturity) upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any other
Indebtedness that is Indebtedness of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, except in

case of clause (x) or (y) to the extent permitted under Section
6.01 and Section 6.04 hereof. Except as provided in clause (b) above,
each Designation shall be irrevocable, and no Unrestricted Subsidiary may become

attributable to it which would not be sufficient to pay in full all its
obligations, including under the
93
Privatization
Agreements (as such term is defined in the Participation Agreement) and the
Loan
Documents, as and when they are likely to come due, (e) amend or agree to any

if, as a result of such amendment, a term defined in the FI Intercreditor
Agreement or the Side Letter by reference to a term defined in such amended
agreement would be changed or (f) resign as the Operator under the Participation
Agreement. Subject to the penultimate sentence of this
Section 6.17, PTFI and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not cause or
permit any assets of it or its Restricted Subsidiaries to be or become Joint
Account Assets under the Participation Agreement for other than full fair market

The
Agents and the FI Trustee
Each
of
the Lenders, the Agents and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints (a)
JPMCB as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including in its capacity as Operator Selection Representative under the
Operator Replacement Agreement), (b) JPMCB as Collateral Agent for the Lenders,
the Agents and the Issuing Banks under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (c) JPMCB as Security Agent for the Lenders, the Agents and the
Issuing Banks under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) JPMCB
as
JAA Security Agent for the Lenders, the Agents and the Issuing Banks under
this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (e) Xxxxxxx as the Syndication Agent
for
the Lenders, the Agents and the Issuing Banks under this Agreement and the
other
Loan Documents, and (f) U.S. Bank National Association to act as FI Trustee
for
the Lenders under the FI Trust Agreement and the Operator Replacement Agreement
and as FI Security Agent for the Lenders under the Surat Kuasa and the Fiduciary
Assignment of Accounts. Each Lender, each Agent and each Issuing Bank
(x) confirms and agrees to be bound by the terms of the FI Trust Agreement,
the
FI Intercreditor Agreement, the Side Letter and the other Loan Documents and
(y)
agrees that the FI Trustee in accepting its appointment and in acting under
the
FI Trust Agreement, the Operator Replacement Agreement, the Surat Kuasa and
the
Fiduciary Assignment of Accounts shall be entitled to all the rights,
immunities, privileges, protections, exculpations, indemnifications, liens
and
other benefits applicable to its acting as trustee under the FI Trust
Agreement. Each Lender, each Agent and each Issuing Bank authorizes
the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as
are
delegated to the applicable Agent by the terms of the applicable Loan Documents,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Neither the Syndication Agent nor any Documentation Agent,
in its capacity as such, shall have any responsibilities or authority under
this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
Each
of
the Lenders serving as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Security Agent, the JAA Security Agent, the Syndication Agent and the FI Trustee
shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the applicable Agent
or
FI Trustee, and each of such Lenders and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the
Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an
Agent or the FI Trustee.
No
Agent
shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the
applicable Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
97
foregoing,
(a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent
shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required
to
exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number
or
percentage of the Lenders or Secured Parties as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02 or the applicable Loan Document),
and
(c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have
any
duty to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as such Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity under the Loan Documents, the Parent Credit Agreement
or the Loan Documents thereunder. No Agent shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence
of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. No Agent shall be
deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof
is given to the Administrative Agent by either Borrower or a Lender, and no
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with
any
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions
set
forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or
genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document,
or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere
in
any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required
to
be delivered to such Agent.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Security Agent, the FI Security Agent and the JAA Security
Agent are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents
(including releases) with respect to the collateral under the Security Documents
and to carry out the rights of the secured parties with respect thereto, as
contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the
Security Documents, including, specifically with respect to the Pledged PTFI
Shares, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to exercise the rights
of
the Pledgors under the FCX Pledge Agreement as owners of such shares in
accordance with the terms of the FCX Pledge Agreement and otherwise applicable
law. In addition, each Lender, each Agent and each Issuing Bank
hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Security Agent, the FI Security Agent and the
JAA Security Agent to enter, on behalf of each of them, into the Security
Documents and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Security
Documents. Each Lender, each Agent and each Issuing Bank hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Security Agent, the FI Security Agent and the JAA Security Agent,
as
applicable, to enter into amendments from time to time to the Security Documents
or take any other action for the purpose of naming as Secured Parties thereunder
(i) Lenders that become parties to this Agreement after the Effective Date
and/or (ii) Lender Affiliates that become counterparties to Hedging Agreements,
the obligations under which are secured by the Security Documents.
Each
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any
statement made to it orally or by
98
telephone
and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and
other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken
or
not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.
Each
Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by
or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the applicable
Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its
duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any
such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Agent.
No
Agent
shall commence any litigation in the name of, or on behalf of, any Lender
without the prior consent of such Lender; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Agent commences any
litigation at the direction of the Required Lenders, any Lender that shall
not
have consented thereto shall remain liable for its pro rata share of the costs
and expenses of such Agent pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement.
The
Syndication Agent and, subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
as provided in this paragraph, any other Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation by
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders shall
have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (subject to the approval of the
Required Lenders under the Parent Credit Agreement), Security Agent or JAA
Security Agent, as the case may be. If no successor shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Security Agent or JAA Security Agent,
as
the case may be, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York,
or
an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment
as Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Security Agent or the JAA
Security Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Security Agent or JAA Security Agent,
as
applicable, shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees
payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such
successor. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of
this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting
as an Agent.
Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it
has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this
Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or
based
upon this Agreement, any other
99
Loan
Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.
The
obligations of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Security Agent,
JAA
Security Agent, the FI Trustee, the FI Security Agent and the Syndication Agent
shall be separate and several and none of them shall be responsible or liable
for the acts or omissions of any other, except, to the extent that any such
Agent serves in more than one agency capacity, such Agent shall be responsible
for the acts and omissions relating to each such agency function.
Without
the prior written consent of the Required Lenders but subject to Section
9.02(b), the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Security Agent and
the
JAA Security Agent will not, except as contemplated by this paragraph, consent
to any modification, supplement or waiver of any Security Document and the
FI
Trustee will not consent to any modification, supplement or waiver of the FI
Trust Agreement, the Operator Replacement Agreement, the Surat Kuasa or the
Fiduciary Assignment of Accounts. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Security Agent, the JAA Security Agent, the FI Security Agent and the FI Trustee
will, at the request of FCX or PTFI, release (or subordinate such interest)
from
the Security Documents (and enter into an amendment to any applicable Security
Document and execute such other instruments as may be necessary in connection
therewith), any interest of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
the
Security Agent, the JAA Security Agent, the FI Security Agent or the FI Trustee,
as applicable, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate from
a
Financial Officer of FCX specifying the asset to be released and the related
transaction and certifying that after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default
shall occur or be continuing, specific assets (which may either be released
from
the Lien of the Security Documents or excluded from the after-acquired property
clauses of the Security Documents) as required to be released to allow sales,
transfers or other dispositions, secured financings, capital leases and sale
leaseback transactions and pledges of assets expressly permitted
hereby. In addition, upon consummation of a Project Financing by a
Project Financing Subsidiary, to the extent releases are requested in a
certificate from a Financial Officer of FCX, which certificate shall certify
that after giving effect to such releases no Event of Default shall occur or
be
continuing and that such releases are in conformity with clause (D) of the
Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, such Project Financing Subsidiary and,
if
applicable, its parent shall automatically be released from its Guarantee and
the pledge of the Equity Interests in such Project Financing Subsidiary shall
be
released. It is understood and agreed that releases in connection
with this paragraph shall not require any further consent of the Required
Lenders.
The
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to, and to instruct the FI Trustee
and
the JAA Security Agent to, enter into or consent to an amendment to the
Participation Agreement or other RTZ Documents permitting PTFI to incur
Indebtedness of the type permitted by Section 6.01(a)(iv) or Section 6.01(a)(v)
hereof without the necessity of the holders of such Indebtedness becoming party
to the Side Letter. Such amendment or consent will not require any
further consent of the Required Lenders.
By
acceptance of the benefits of the Security Documents, the holders of the Secured
Obligations (as defined in the Atlantic Copper Pledge Agreement referred to
below) hereby expressly and irrevocably appoint JPMCB as Collateral Agent under
the Atlantic Copper Pledge Agreement and such holders hereby expressly and
irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to accept and cancel, in their name
and on their behalf, a pledge (including its novations) over the shares
representing 65% of the share capital of Atlantic Copper S.A. (“Atlantic
Copper”), a company (sociedad anónima) incorporated
100
and
existing under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, having its registered office
at
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx x/x, 00000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, and Tax Identification
Number (C.I.F.) A-79110482, as security for the Secured Obligations (as so
defined) (the “Pledge of Atlantic Copper Shares”), and, in particular,
but not exclusively, (i) to execute one or more pledge agreements (collectively,
the “Atlantic Copper Pledge Agreement”), as well as any subsequent
novations thereof, inter alia, over the shares of Atlantic Copper owned by
Freeport-McMoRan Spain Inc. representing, from time to time, 65% of the share
capital of Atlantic Copper on the terms and conditions that the Collateral
Agent
may deem appropriate; (ii) to appear before a Notary Public and execute, on
the
terms the Collateral Agent deems appropriate, the granting of any ratification,
amendment, confirmation, supplement, novation or cancellation of the document
or
documents by virtue of which the Pledge of Atlantic Copper Shares is created;
(iii) to carry out whatever actions and legal proceedings the Collateral Agent
may deem appropriate for the enforcement of the Pledge of Atlantic Copper Shares
in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents; (iv) to carry
out, as well, all related or complementary acts needed in order to fully execute
the mandate received, and in particular, grant amendment documents and to do
all
other things, to enter into all other agreements and to make all other
statements necessary or useful in connection with the above mentioned
performances; and (v) to make any payment of any reasonable expenses and fees,
including legal and notarial fees.

SECTION
9.02. Waivers;
Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, the
FI Trustee, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in exercising any right or power
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the FI
Trustee, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance,
amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed
as
a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, the FI Trustee, any
Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default
at
the time.
(b) Neither
this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof
may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement,
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Borrower
and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant
to
an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent
and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with
the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement
shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent
of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or
LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan, or the required date of
reimbursement of any LC Disbursement under Section 2.05, or any date for
the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount
of,
waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration
of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter
the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written
consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or
the
percentage set forth in the definition of “Required
102
Lenders”
or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage
of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any
rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as
the
case may be) (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required
Lenders, additional extensions of credit or revolving commitments pursuant
to
this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders
on
substantially the same basis as the Revolving Commitments on the Amendment
Effective Date), (vi) release all or substantially all the Guarantors from
their Guarantee under the Loan Documents or limit the liability of all or
substantially all the Guarantors in respect of such Guarantees, without the
written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all the
Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent
of each Lender, or (viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner
that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of Collateral or
payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those
holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding
a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each
affected Class; provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, the FI Trustee,
any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent
of
such Agent, the FI Trustee, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the
case may be; (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that
by
its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding
Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans
or
Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements
in
writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest
of
the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under
this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder
at the time; and (C) if the terms of any waiver, amendment or modification
of
any Loan Document provide that any Class of Loans (together with all accrued
interest thereon and all accrued fees payable with respect to the Commitments
of
such Class) will be repaid or paid in full, and the Commitments of such Class
(if any) terminated, as a condition to the effectiveness of such waiver,
amendment or modification, then so long as the Loans of such Class (together
with such accrued interest and fees) are in fact repaid or paid and such
Commitments are in fact terminated, in each case prior to or substantially
simultaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, then such Loans and
Commitments shall not be included in the determination of the Required Lenders
with respect to such amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered
into by the Borrowers, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if
(i)
by the terms of such agreement any remaining Commitment and/or Revolving
Exposure of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein
shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time
such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives
payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made
by it
and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this
Agreement.
SECTION
9.03. Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) Each Borrower agrees to
pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent and
its Affiliates and the FI Trustee, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel for each Agent, in connection with the syndication
of
the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration
of
the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall
be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each
Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal
of
any Letter of Credit or any demand for
103
payment
thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, the
FI Trustee, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender,
in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with
the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection
with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
(b) Each
Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank,
the
FI Trustee and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such
Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for
any
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of,
in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any
Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations
thereunder or the consummation of the Effective Date Transactions or the
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal
by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit
if
the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently
or
formerly owned or operated by either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or
any
Environmental Liability related in any way to either Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, other than losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related costs
and expenses arising from a release of Hazardous Materials or Environmental
Liability (except releases of Hazardous Materials or Environmental Liabilities
actually caused by either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective tenants, contractors or agents) to the extent (and only to the
extent) first occurring and first existing after title to the relevant real
property or facility is vested in any Agent or Lender or other party after
the
completion of foreclosure proceedings or the granting of a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure or similar transfer of title, or (iv) any actual or prospective
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the
gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) To
the
extent that either Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by
it to
any Agent, the FI Trustee or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section (but without affecting such Borrower’s obligations
thereunder), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the applicable Agent, the
FI
Trustee or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro
rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense
or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent,
the
FI Trustee or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in its capacity as
such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be
determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures
and
unused Revolving Commitments at the time. The obligations of the
Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the last sentence of Section
2.02(a) (which shall apply mutatismutandis to the Lenders’
obligations under this paragraph (c)). If any action, suit or
proceeding arising from any
104
of
the
foregoing is brought against any Lender, any Agent, the FI Trustee, any Issuing
Bank or other Person indemnified or intended to be indemnified pursuant to
this
Section 9.03, PTFI and FCX, to the extent and in the manner directed by
such indemnified party, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding
or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by PTFI
and
FCX (which counsel shall be satisfactory to such Lender, such Agent, the FI
Trustee, such Issuing Bank or other Person indemnified or intended to be
indemnified). If PTFI or FCX shall fail to do any act or thing which
it has covenanted to do hereunder or any representation or warranty on the
part
of PTFI or FCX contained in this Agreement shall be breached, any Lender, the
FI
Trustee, any Issuing Bank or any Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
do
the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend its
funds for such purpose. Any and all amounts so expended by any
Lender, the FI Trustee, any Issuing Bank or any Agent shall be repayable to
it
by PTFI and FCX immediately upon such Person’s demand therefor.
(d) To
the
extent permitted by applicable law, neither Borrower shall assert, and each
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability,
for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Effective
Date
Transactions, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of
the
proceeds thereof.
(e) All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 days after
written demand therefor.
SECTION
9.04. Successors
and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate
of
any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) a Borrower
may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment
or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and
(ii)
no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder
except in accordance with this Section; provided that a rejurisdictioning
transaction permitted by Section 9.18(c) shall not require the consent of any
Lender under this Section 9.04 Nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including
any
Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants
(to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the
FI
Trustee, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) (i)
Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender
may
assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or LC
Exposure and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior consent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
(A) in
the case of assignments of Revolving Commitments or Revolving Exposures, the
Borrowers, the Swingline Lender and each Principal Issuing Bank; provided
that no consent of either Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a
Revolving Lender or to an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender having credit ratings
equal to or better than the credit ratings of such Revolving Lender, or, if
an
Event
105
of
Default under clause (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred
and is continuing, any other assignee; and
(B) the
Administrative Agent.
(ii)
Assignments shall be subject to the following additional
conditions:
(A)
except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender
or
an Approved Fund, or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the
Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$5,000,000 unless each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent; provided that no such consent of either Borrower shall be
required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (g) or (h) of
Article VII has occurred and is continuing; and
providedfurther that simultaneous assignments in respect of a
Lender and its Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of such
requirement;
(B)
each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;
(C)
the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent
an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee
of
$3,500, payable by either the assignee or the assignor (provided that
only one such fee shall be payable in respect of simultaneous assignments by
a
Lender and its Approved Funds);
(D)
the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent
an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.16(f);
and
(E)
no
assignee shall be entitled to claim compensation which it would as of the
effective date of its assignment have been entitled to claim under Section
2.14
(other than paragraph (b) thereof) or 2.16 which the applicable assignor would
not have been entitled to claim as of such effective date, unless such
assignment is made with the Borrowers' prior written consent.
For
purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “CLO” have the
following meanings:
“Approved
Fund” means (a) a CLO
and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans
and
similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and
similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment advisor
as
such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.
“CLO”
means
an entity (whether a
corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is engaged in making,
purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions
of credit in the ordinary course and is administered or managed by a Lender
or
an Affiliate of such Lender.
106
(iii)
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer
by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply
with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale
by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv)
The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of
the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC
Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time
to
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agents, the FI Trustee, the Issuing Banks
and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall
be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Agent, the FI Trustee, any
Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.
(v)
Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section
and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information contained therein in the
Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this
Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
paragraph.
(vi)
At
the request of either Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the assignee under
an Assignment and Assumption, each of the Borrowers, each applicable Agent
and
such assignee shall enter into any amendments to the Security Documents or
take
any other actions for the purpose of naming such assignee as a Secured Party
thereunder.
(c) (i)
Any
Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment or LC Exposure and the Loans
owing
to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
(C) the Borrowers, the Agents, the FI Trustee, the Issuing Banks and the
other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and
(D) such Lender will
107
continue
to give prompt attention to and process (including, if required, through
discussions with Participants) requests for waivers or amendments
hereunder. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender
sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the
sole
right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification
or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such
Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the
Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as
though it were a Lender.
(ii) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.14 (other than paragraph (b) thereof) or 2.16 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrowers are notified
of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees,
for
the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(f) as though it
were a Lender.
(d) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent,
at
any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including
any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this
Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall
release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION
9.05. Survival. All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties
in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered
in
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of
any
Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation
made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any
Agent, the FI Trustee, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time
any
credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as
long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or
any
other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any
Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired
or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and
9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect
regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit
and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision
hereof.
SECTION
9.06. Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. Execution of the Amendment Agreement
shall be deemed to be execution of this Agreement. The Amendment may
be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
108
counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the Amendment
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with
respect to fees payable to any Agent constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. Subject to Section 4.01, the amendment of this Agreement
contemplated by the Amendment Agreement shall become effective as provided
in
the Amendment Agreement, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to
the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
the Amendment Agreement by telecopy or electronic transmission shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the Amendment
Agreement.
SECTION
9.07. Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION
9.08. Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of its Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
by
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other
obligations at any time owing (although such obligations may be unmatured)
by
such Lender or Issuing Bank or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of
either Borrower against any of and all the obligations then due of either
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement. The
applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any
failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity
of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of
each Lender, each Issuing Bank and its Affiliates under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender, Issuing Bank and Affiliates may have.
SECTION
9.09. Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Sovereign
Immunity. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
(b) Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State
of
New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court
of
the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof,
in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or
for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of
any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each
of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any
Agent, the FI Trustee, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to
bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document against either Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.
109
(c) Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it
may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
or
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred
to
in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in
any
such court.
(d) Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement
or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement
to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(e) To
the
extent that PTFI may now or hereafter be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which
judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to any Loan
Document, to claim for itself or its property, assets or revenues any immunity
(whether by reason of sovereignty or otherwise) from suit, jurisdiction of
any
court, attachment prior to judgment, setoff, execution of a judgment or from
any
other legal process or remedy, and to the extent that there may be attributed
to
PTFI such an immunity (whether or not claimed), PTFI hereby irrevocably agrees
not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity.
SECTION
9.10. WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY
OR
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY
WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION
9.11. Headings. Article
and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience
of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the
construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement.
SECTION
9.12. Confidentiality. Each
of the Agents, the FI Trustee, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors,
trustees, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel
and other 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), (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating
to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder
or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this
110
Section,
to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or Participant in any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to either Borrower or any other Loan Party and its obligations,
(g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than either
Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from or on behalf of either Borrower
relating to
either Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is
available to any Agent, the FI Trustee, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by either Borrower. Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided
in
this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do
so
if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.
SECTION
9.13. Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in
any
LC Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are
treated as interest on such Loan or LC Disbursement or participation therein
under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or LC
Disbursement or participation therein in accordance with applicable law, the
rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or LC Disbursement or
participation therein hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect
thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the
interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or
LC
Disbursement or participation therein but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or LC Disbursements or
participations therein or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum
Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon
at
the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been
received by such Lender.
SECTION
9.14. Judgment
Currency. The specification of payment in dollars and in New York
City, New York, with respect to amounts payable to any Lender (or permitted
assignee or Participant), any Agent, the FI Trustee or any Issuing Bank
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is of the essence, and dollars
shall be the currency of account in all events. The payment
obligations of a Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
not be discharged by an amount paid by such Borrower in another currency or
in
another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that
the amount so paid on conversion to dollars and transfer to New York City under
normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of dollars in New York
City
due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court
it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in dollars into another currency
(the “second currency”), the rate of exchange which shall be applied
shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
Administrative Agent could purchase dollars with the second currency on the
Business Day next preceding that on which such judgment is
rendered. The obligation of a Borrower in respect of any such sum due
from such Borrower to any Agent, the FI Trustee, any Issuing Bank or any Lender
(or permitted assignee or Participant) hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (an “entitled person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of
exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to
the
extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such entitled person of
any
sum adjudged to be due hereunder or
111
under
any
other Loan Document in the second currency such entitled person may in
accordance with normal banking procedures purchase in the free market and
transfer to New York City dollars with the amount of the second currency so
adjudged to be due; and each Borrower hereby agrees, as a separate obligation
and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such entitled person
against, and to pay such entitled person on demand, in dollars in New York
City,
the difference between the sum originally due to such entitled person from
such
Borrower in dollars and the amount of dollars so purchased and
transferred.
SECTION
9.15. RTZ
Transactions. PTFI has appointed the Administrative Agent to be

a
transaction in which it will cease to be domesticated under the laws of Delaware
as a corporation and shall become solely a limited liability company organized
under the laws of the Republic of Indonesia. In the event that such
rejurisdictioning is effected, upon written notice from the Borrowers and at
the
Borrowers’ expense, the Collateral Agent shall terminate and release the
Guarantees provided under the Indonesian Guarantee Agreement by each of PT
Kencana Infra Nusakarya and PT Kencana Wisata Nusakarya.

recourse to or warranty by any of the Collateral Agent, the Security Agent,
the
