SECTION 2.06
|
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 12:00 noon, Boston, Massachusetts 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 2.04.Β The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in Boston, Massachusetts, or wire transferred to such other account or in such manner as may be designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, provided that ABR Revolving 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 Issuing Bank.Β The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of
|
Β its Applicable Percentage of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Applicable Percentage of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder.
(b)
|
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.Β 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 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 the 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 the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the corresponding Loan made to the Borrower.Β If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.Β If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period.Β Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
|
(c)
|
Each Lender may:Β (a) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its lending office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Eurodollar Loan; (b) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate as its lending office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any ABR Loan and (c) change its lending office from time to time by notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower.Β In such event, such Lender shall continue to hold the Note, if any, evidencing its loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate.Β Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Commitment in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.06, but for the purposes of this Credit Agreement such Lender shall, regardless of such Lender's actual means of funding, be deemed to have funded its Commitment in accordance with the interest option selected from time to time by the Borrower for such Borrowing period.
|
SECTION 2.07
|
Interest Elections.
|
(a)
|
Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Class and Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing of any Class, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.Β Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type of the same Class or to continue such
|
Β Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.Β The 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.Β This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.
(b)
|
To make an election pursuant to this Section, the 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 the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.Β 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 the form of a Borrowing Request (with proper election made for an interest rate election only) and signed by the Borrower.
|
(c)
|
Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with SectionΒ 2.02:
|
(i)
|
the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies (including identifying the Class thereof) and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the 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;

|
(e)

If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing of any Class 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
|
Β Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing of the same Class.Β 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 Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing of any Class 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.

|
Β responses to each request made hereunder.Β If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall allocate the Commitment increase among the Lenders who agree provide such Commitments on such basis mutually acceptable to each of the Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger.Β If the additional Commitments so provided by the Lenders are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Commitment increase requested by the Borrower, then the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger shall use best efforts to, and Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Borrower) to become a Lender and provide an additional Commitment upon execution and delivery by the Borrower and such Lender of an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to effect such increase.Β If the Total Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the "Increase Effective Date") and the final allocation of each Lender's increased Commitments.Β The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase, the revised Applicable Percentages, and the Increase Effective Date.Β In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Commitment.

All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and twelve (12) 30-day months, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).Β The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
|
SECTION 2.13Β Alternate Rate of Interest.Β If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing of any Class:
(a)
|
the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or
|
(b)
|
the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) of the applicable Class included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period and (ii) such fact is generally applicable to its loans of this type to similar borrowers, as evidenced by a certification from such Lenders;
|
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower 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; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.
If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that either (i) the circumstances set forth in the first paragraph of this SECTION 2.13 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in the first paragraph of this SECTION 2.13Β have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of LIBO Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBO Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (in the case of either such clause (i) or (ii), an "Alternative Interest Rate Election Event"), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to LIBO Rate, which rate may include adjustment (to be determined from time to time by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to effect an aggregate interest rate comparable to the LIBO Rate on a historical basis prior to such determination, and that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for leveraged syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable.Β Such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within ten (10) Business Days after the date a copy of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders stating that they object to such amendment.Β To the extent an alternate rate of interest is adopted as contemplated hereby, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with prevailing market convention; provided that, to the extent such prevailing market convention is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.Β From such time as an Alternative Interest Rate Election Event has occurred and continuing until an alternate rate of interest has been determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of this paragraph, (x) any Interest Rate Election that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, an Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective, and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests an Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan; provided that (subject to the first paragraph of this SECTION 2.13) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis; provided, further, that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.14
|
Increased Costs.
|
(a)
|
If any Change in Law shall:
|
(i)
|
subject any Recipient to any Taxes or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender's Commitment, a Letter of Credit or the Loans (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or
|
(ii)
|
materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on gross receipts, income or profits or its franchise tax) of payments to any Recipient of the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
|
(iii)
|
impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or
|
(iv)
|
impose on any Recipient any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such Lender's Commitment, a Letter of Credit or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender's Commitment forms a part;
|
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan of any Class (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the 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 the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)
|
If any Lender or 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 or Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender or 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 Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender or Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.
|
(c)
|
A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraphΒ (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.Β The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10Β days after receipt thereof.
|
(d)
|
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the 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 or the Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; providedΒ further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
|
SECTION 2.15Β Break Funding Payments.Β In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b)), or (d)Β the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to SectionΒ 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.Β In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, 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 Adjusted 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.Β 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 Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.Β The 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)
|
All payments by the Borrower or Guarantors hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Legal Requirements. If any Legal Requirement (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
|
Β relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Legal Requirements and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)
|
The Borrower and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Legal Requirements, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
|
(c)
|
The Borrower and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this SECTION 2.16) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.Β A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
|
(d)
|
Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of SECTION 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.Β A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection.
|
(e)
|
As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this SECTION 2.16, such Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the 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 Agent.
|
(f)
|
(i)Β Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
|
(ii)
|
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
|
(1)
|
any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
|
(2)
|
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
|
(A)
|
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of,
|
Β U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;
(B)
|
an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;
|
(C)
|
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
|
(D)
|
to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
|
(3)
|
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of any other form prescribed by Legal Requirements as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Legal Requirements to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
|
(4)
|
if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of
|
Β FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Legal Requirements and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Legal Requirements (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)
|
If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this SECTION 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this SECTION 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this SECTION 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable third party out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party actually incurred and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
|
(h)
|
Each party's obligations under this SECTION 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
|
(i)
|
The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement (and of the Revolving Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit and to the Swingline Lender with respect to Swingline Loans) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:Β (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by Issuing Bank to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in Issuing Bank's good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that nothing contained herein shall relieve Issuing Bank, Agent or any Lender for liability to Borrower arising as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank, Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.
|
SECTION 2.17
|
Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
|
(a)
|
The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Boston,
|
Massachusetts time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim.Β 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.Β All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its main offices in Cleveland, Ohio, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.Β If the Administrative Agent receives a payment for the account of a Lender prior to 1:00 p.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, such payment must be delivered to the Lender on the same day and if it is not so delivered due to the fault of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Lender entitled to the payment interest thereon for each day after payment should have been received by the Lender pursuant hereto until the Lender receives payment, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.Β If any payment hereunder 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.Β All payments hereunder 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 Loans of any Class or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans and 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 Loans and participations in LC Disbursements or 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 Loans and participations in LC Disbursements or 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 the 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 Commitments, or participation in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).Β The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d)
|
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due.Β In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the 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 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate.
|
(e)
|
If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to 2.06(b) or 2.17(d), 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.
|
(f)
|
If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the REIT Guarantor or Borrower or for any other reason, REIT Guarantor, Borrower, Administrative Agent, or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the REIT Guarantor and Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher or lower pricing for such period, then (A) if the proper calculation results in a higher pricing for such period, Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, within three (3) Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Credit Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period, and (B) if the proper calculation results in a lower pricing for such period, Borrower shall receive a credit or refund of any overpayment promptly after such determination.Β This paragraph shall not limit the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.12(c) or under Article VII (in each instance to the extent the Borrower is in violation of Section 5.02(a)
|
or such restatement of or other adjustment or recalculation otherwise constitutes an Event of Default hereunder).Β To the extent that Administrative Agent makes any determination under this Section 2.17(f) based on computations provided by anyone other than Borrower, Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of same to the Borrower prior to the demand for excess interest and fees.
SECTION 2.18
|
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
|
(a)
|
Each Lender and the Issuing Bank will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement which will entitle such Person to compensation pursuant to SectionsΒ 2.14 and 2.16 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, provided that such Person shall not be liable for the failure to provide such notice.Β If any Lender or the Issuing Bank requests compensation under SectionΒ 2.14, or ifΒ the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any such Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 2.16, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize the amounts payable, including, without limitation, the designation of a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans and Letter of Credit hereunder or the assignment of its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or the Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Issuing Bank.Β The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

The Administrative Agent
The Administrative Agent
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.Β In the event of conflicting instructions or notices given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent and any Lender, the Borrower is hereby directed and shall rely conclusively on the instruction or notice given by the Administrative Agent.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder 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 Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein.Β Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a)Β the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b)Β the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by 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), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.Β The Administrative 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 SectionΒ 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.Β The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default (other than a payment Default) unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)Β any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii)Β the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii)Β the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv)Β the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v)Β the satisfaction of any condition set forth in ArticleΒ IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.Β Β The Administrative Agent agrees that, in fulfilling its duties hereunder, it will use the same standard of care it utilizes in servicing loans for its own account.
The Administrative 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.Β The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.Β The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.Β The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.Β The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed by the Required Lenders in the event of the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.Β Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the approval of Borrower (provided no Default has occurred and is continuing), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to appoint a successor.Β If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30Β days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation or is removed, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a Lender, or a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.Β Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.Β The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent for its own behalf shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.Β After the Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and SectionΒ 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.Β The Administrative Agent shall cooperate with any successor Administrative Agent in fulfilling its duties hereunder.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent 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.Β Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.Β Administrative Agent agrees to provide the Lenders with copies of all material documents and certificates received by the Administrative Agent from Borrower in connection with the Loans.

Borrower's or Administrative Agent's transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) resulting therefrom. Similarly, each Lender acknowledges that the Credit Parties do not control the posting to, or operation of, the Platform.Β Accordingly, the obligation of any Credit Parties under this Article are solely to identify and properly xxxx materials as "PUBLIC" where applicable.
SECTION 9.02

Waivers; Amendments.
|
(a)
|
No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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.Β The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.Β No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraphΒ (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.Β Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.Β Subject to the immediately following subsection (b), any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating to the rights or obligations of the Lenders of a particular Class, and not Lenders of any other Class, may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any other Credit Party or Subsidiary of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, and only with, the written consent of the Required Class Lenders for such Class of Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of the Borrower and the REIT Guarantor and any other Subsidiary which is a party thereto).
|
(b)
|
Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified, nor may any Event of Default be waivedΒ except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase or reduce (except in accordance with Section 2.08) the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan 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 scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any 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 definition of "Majority Lenders" or "Required Lenders", or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release any Credit Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents or, release of any Collateral, except as specifically provided for herein, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) subordinate the Loans or any Collateral without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) waive or modify any conditions of extending the Loans set forth in Section 2.20 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, or (ix) consent to the Collateral securing any other Indebtedness without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
(c)
|
There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of ARTICLE VIII or any other provision in the Loan Documents that affects the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.Β There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan Documents with respect to Swingline Loans without the consent of the Swingline Lender, nor any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit without the consent of the Issuing Bank.
|
(d)
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x)Β the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender; and (y)Β any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
|
(e)
|
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary none of the Lenders or the Borrower will be required to execute assumption or amendment documents to add a Person as a Subsidiary Guarantor.Β If Real Property assets are added to the Pool Properties in accordance with this Agreement and the Pool Property Owner (and/or any other Subsidiary required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the definition thereof) is not already a Subsidiary Guarantor, then (i) such Pool Property Owner and/or other Subsidiary shall be added as a Subsidiary Guarantor as required by Section 5.13 pursuant to a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F executed by such owner and delivered to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) the ownership
|
interests in such Pool Property Owner shall be pledged by Borrower as required by Section 5.13.
(f)
|
Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above:Β (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; and (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Loan Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.Β Administrative Agent may, after consultation with Borrower, agree to the modification of any term of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to correct any printing, stenographic or clerical errors or omissions that are inconsistent with the terms hereof.
|
(g)
|
If Administrative Agent shall request the consent of any Lender to any amendment, change, waiver, discharge, termination, consent or exercise of rights covered by this Credit Agreement, and not receive such consent or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such request by Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such Lender shall be deemed to have given its consent to the request.
|
(h)
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not materially adversely affect the interests of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank.Β Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.Β The Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of each such amendment to the Lenders promptly after execution thereof.

|
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 Affiliated of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) except that the 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 the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).Β 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 the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
|
(b)
|
(i)Β Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than to a natural Person, any Credit Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Credit Party) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:
|
(A)Β the Borrower, provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, and (ii) such consent shall be deemed granted unless the Borrower objects within five (5) Business Days of a receipt of written notice of the proposed assignment;
(B)Β the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C)Β the Issuing Bank.
Provided, no consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank shall be required in connection with any assignment to an entity acquiring, or merging with, a Lender.
(ii)Β 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 assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans, 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 $5,000,000.00 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(B)Β 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 with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;
(C)Β 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 $3,500.00; and
(D)Β the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term "Approved Fund" has the following meaning:
"Approved Fund" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
(iii)Β Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraphΒ (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 SectionsΒ 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03).Β 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)Β The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, 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").Β The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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.Β The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)Β 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 paragraphΒ (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.Β No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c)
|
Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i)Β such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)Β such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii)Β the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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.Β Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.Β Subject to paragraph (d) of this Section, the Borrower agrees 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.Β To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SectionΒ 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.Β Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
|
agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that, except in the case of a Participant asserting any right of set-off pursuant to Section 9.08, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.Β For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)
|
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 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 Borrower's prior written consent.Β A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of SectionΒ 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.
|
(e)
|
Any Lender may 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 9.07Β Severability.Β 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.

time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.Β Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.Β The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.Β In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

FORM OF GUARANTY
THIS GUARANTY dated as of December 29, 2017, executed and delivered by THE PARKING REIT, INC. and each of the undersigned Subsidiaries of the Borrower (together with any other Person that may join in this Guaranty from time to time as an "Additional Guarantor" pursuant to Section 22, each a "Guarantor", and collectively, the "Guarantors"), in favor of KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as administrative agent (the "Agent") for the Lenders under that certain Credit Agreement of even date herewith, (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the "Credit Agreement") by and among MVP REIT II Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Borrower"), The Parking REIT, Inc. and the other Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees in accordance therewith (the "Lenders"), and the Agent.Β Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein including Section 30 hereof shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Borrower and Guarantors, though separate legal entities, are members of an affiliated group of companies that includes the Borrower and Guarantors, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Agent and the Lenders through their collective efforts;
WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower's obligations to the Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein; and
WHEREAS, each Guarantor's execution and delivery of this Guaranty is one of the conditions precedent to the Agent and the Lenders making, or continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrower;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the making of the Loans to Borrower and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:
Section 1.Β Guaranty.Β Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment as and when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of (a) all Obligations and Hedge Obligations of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all such Obligations which shall become due but for the operation of any Debtor Relief Law (but for all of the purposes of this Guaranty and notwithstanding anything else contained herein, Obligations shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations) and (b) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Lenders or the Agent in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or obligation of any Guarantor hereunder.Β Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon this Guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.
Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection.Β This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, the Agent and the Lenders shall not be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy the Lenders or the Agent may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other Credit Party, or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other Credit Party, or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Lenders or the Agent which may secure any of the Obligations, and each Guarantor hereby waives the right of such Guarantor to require any holder of the Obligations to take action against Borrower or any other Guarantor as provided by any legal requirement of any Governmental Authority.
Section 3. Guaranty Absolute.Β Each Guarantor guarantees, jointly and severally, that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any legal requirement now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto.Β Upon the failure by the Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations that are then required to be paid.Β The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever (other than the full and final payment and performance in full of the Obligations), including, without limitation, the following (whether or not any Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):
(E)Β (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Obligations; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Obligations; (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligations; or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Obligations or any assignment or transfer of the foregoing;
(F)Β any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;
(G)Β any furnishing to the Agent or the Lenders of any security for the Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral security for the Obligations other than the irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations;
(H)Β any settlement or compromise of any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Obligations to the payment of any other liability of Borrower;
(I)Β any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any other Guarantor, Borrower, or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;
(J)Β any nonperfection of any security interest or other Lien on any of the collateral securing any of the Obligations;
(K)Β any failure of the Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Credit Party under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise or against any other party with respect to any of the Obligations;
(L)Β any act or failure to act by Borrower or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor's subrogation rights, if any, against Borrower or another Guarantor to recover payments made under this Guaranty;
(M)Β any application of sums paid by Borrower or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of Borrower to the Agent or the Lenders, regardless of what liabilities of Borrower remain unpaid;
(N)Β any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of Borrower or in the exercise thereof;
(O)Β any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Credit Party;
(P)Β any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party under any Loan Document or any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect; or
(Q)Β any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor hereunder (other than the irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations).
The value of the consideration received and to be received by each Guarantor is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligation of each Guarantor incurred or arising under the Loan Documents.Β Each Guarantor has determined that such liability and obligation may reasonably be expected to substantially benefit each Guarantor directly or indirectly.Β Each Guarantor has had full and complete access to the underlying papers relating to the transaction that is the subject of the Credit Agreement and all of the Loan Documents, has reviewed them and is fully aware of the meaning and effect of their contents.Β Each Guarantor is fully informed of all circumstances which bear upon the risks of executing this Guaranty and which a diligent inquiry would reveal.Β Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain from each other Credit Party on a continuing basis information concerning such other Credit Party's financial condition, and is not depending on the Agent or the Lenders to provide such information, now or in the future.Β Each Guarantor agrees that neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any obligation to advise or notify each Guarantor or to provide each Guarantor with any data or information regarding any other Credit Party.
Section 4. Action with Respect to Obligations. The Lenders and the Agent may in accordance with the Credit Agreement, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder take any and all actions described in Section 3Β and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Obligations or the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against Borrower or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor); and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Obligations in such order as the Lenders or the Agent shall elect in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
Section 5. Representations and Warranties.Β Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent and the Lenders all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.
Section 6. Covenants.Β Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents.
Section 7. Waiver.Β Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.
Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan.Β If the Agent and/or the Lenders are prevented from demanding or accelerating payment of any Obligations or Hedge Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from the Guarantors, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.
Section 9.Β Reinstatement of Obligations.Β Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty and each Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, with respect to any ObligationsΒ if at any time any payment of the principal of or interest under the Loans, the Notes or any other amount payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, and in any such case, each Guarantor's obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.
Section 10.Β Subrogation.Β Until all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, any right of subrogation that any Guarantor may have against the Borrower or any other Credit Party shall be subordinate to the rights of Agent and the other Lenders and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Agent and/or the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against Borrower or any other Credit Party, and each Guarantor hereby waives, until all of the Obligations and Hedge Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Agent and the Lenders to secure payment or performance of any of the Obligations.
Section 11.Β Payments Free and Clear.Β All sums payable by any Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any tax or other charge; provided that if any Guarantor shall be required by applicable law to deduct any taxes or other charge from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Agent or any Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) such Guarantor shall make such deductions; and (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.Β Each applicable Guarantor shall promptly provide the Agent with an original receipt or certified copy issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing the payment of any such amount required to be deducted or withheld.

Section 13.Β Subordination.Β Β Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders that all obligations and liabilities of Borrower or any other Guarantor to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from Borrower or any other Guarantor (collectively, the "Junior Claims") shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Obligations; provided, however, that payment thereof may be made so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) from Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other Person on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.Β If any Guarantor shall receive any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) with respect to a Junior Claim at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Section 14. Acknowledgement of Benefits; Contribution; Avoidance Provisions.
(a)Β Acknowledgement of Benefits.Β Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has received, or will receive, significant financial and other benefits, either directly or indirectly, from the proceeds of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement; that the benefits received by each Guarantor are reasonably equivalent consideration for such Guarantor's execution of this Guaranty; and that such benefits include, without limitation, the access to capital afforded to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement from which the activities of such Guarantor will be supported, as applicable. Each Guarantor is executing this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in consideration of those benefits received by it. This Guaranty is independent of (and shall not be limited by) any other guaranty now existing or hereafter given.Β Further, each Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty is in addition to any and all other liability such Guarantor may have in any other capacity, including without limitation, any other credit facilities or guaranties between and among Agent, Lenders and such Guarantor in connection with the Borrower.
(b)Β Contribution.Β Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, in connection with payments made hereunder, such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Loans in accordance with applicable law.Β Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid in full, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Obligations have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid in full.
(c)Β Avoidance Provisions.Β It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent and the Lenders that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor's maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of applicable law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code") and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The applicable laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the "Avoidance Provisions." Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.
Section 15.Β Information.Β Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, the other Guarantors, the other Credit Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Agent or any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.
Section 16. Governing Law.Β THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS, PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.
Section 17.Β Jurisdiction; Venue; JURY WAIVER.

(b)Β WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.Β EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.Β EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION.Β EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS SECTION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT EACH PARTY AGREES TO THE FOREGOING AS ITS FREE, KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY ACT.
Section 18.Β Loan Accounts.Β The Agent may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of Obligation or otherwise, the entries in such account shall be binding upon each Guarantor as to the outstanding amount of such Obligations and the amounts paid and payable with respect thereto absent manifest error.Β The failure of the Agent to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 19.Β Waiver of Remedies.Β No delay or failure on the part of the Agent or the Lenders in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.
Section 20.Β Successors and Assigns.Β Each reference herein to the Agent or the Lenders shall be deemed to include such Person's respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to any Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor's successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding.Β The Lenders and the Agent may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any portion of the Obligations, or grant or sell participation in the Loans, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying such Guarantor's obligations hereunder.Β Each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Agent or any Lender to any assignee, transferee or participant of any financial or other information regarding Borrower or any Guarantor or their Subsidiaries. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its obligations hereunder to any Person.
Section 21.Β Amendments.Β No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor from the terms and conditions hereof, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent and each Guarantor or Guarantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply.Β Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.Β This Guaranty shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.
Section 22.Β Additional Guarantors.Β The initial Guarantors hereunder shall be each of the Subsidiaries of Borrower that are signatories hereto. From time to time after the date hereof,
additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become parties hereto as additional Guarantors (each an "Additional Guarantor") by executing a Guaranty Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Upon delivery of any such Guaranty Joinder Agreement to Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by the Guarantors, each such Additional Guarantor shall be a Guarantor hereunder and shall be a party hereto as if such Additional Guarantor were an original signatory hereof. Each Guarantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Guarantor hereunder, or by any election by Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to become an Additional Guarantor hereunder.

Section 30.Β Keepwell.Β Each Guarantor that is a Qualified ECP Party at the time that this Guaranty becomes effective with respect to any Hedging Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor that is not then an "eligible contract participant" under the Commodity Exchange Act (a "Specified Guarantor") to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Hedging Obligations (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Party's obligations and undertakings under this Section 30 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Party under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the obligations guarantied hereby have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.Β Each Qualified ECP Party intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a "keepwell, support, or other agreement" for the benefit of, each Specified Guarantor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Section 30.Β Definitions.Β (a) For the purposes of this Guaranty:
"Commodity Exchange Act" means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. Β§ 1 et seq.), as amended from time to time, and any successor statute.
"Excluded Swap Obligation"Β means, with respect to the Guarantor, any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the guarantee of the Guarantor of, or the grant by the Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of the Guarantor's failure for any reason to constitute an "eligible contract participant" as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder at the time the guarantee of the Guarantor or the grant of such security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation. If a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which such guarantee or security interest is or becomes illegal.
"Proceeding" means any of the following: (i) a voluntary or involuntary case concerning any Guarantor shall be commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy laws; (ii) a custodian (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy laws) is appointed for, or takes charge of, all or any substantial part of the property of any Guarantor; (iii) any other proceeding under any applicable law, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up or composition for adjustment of debts, whether now or hereafter in effect, is commenced relating to any Guarantor; (iv) any Guarantor is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; (v) any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction; (vi) any Guarantor makes a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (vii) any Guarantor shall fail to pay, or shall state that it is unable to pay, or shall be unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due; (viii) any Guarantor shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition or adjustment of its debts; (ix) any Guarantor shall by any act or failure to act indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing; or (x) any corporate action shall be taken by any Guarantor for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.
"Swap Obligation"Β means, with respect to the Guarantor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a "swap" within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
