ARTICLE I.
THE ADVANCES
Section 1.1 Credit Facility.
(a) Commitments & Certain Limitations; On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date:
2
(i) the Collection Agent, on behalf of Borrowers, may (A) request Advances from the Lenders or (B) request that the LC Bank issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit;
(ii) in connection with each such requested Advance or any mandatory deemed Advance pursuant to Section 1.1(b) below, each Lender Group shall make Loans to the Borrowers in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such Lender Group’s Lender Group Commitment and (y) such Lender Group’s Percentage of the requested Advance as follows; provided, however, that if any such Advance occurs when the Percentage of any Lender Group exceeds its Lender Group Exposure Percentage due to an increase in Commitments pursuant to Section 1.1(d), the initial portion of such Advance necessary to cause such Lender Group’s Percentage to be equal to its Lender Group Exposure Percentage shall be funded solely by the Lenders in such Lender Group (or if there are more than one such Lender Groups whose Percentages exceed their Lender Group Exposure Percentages, ratably by the Lenders in such Lender Groups) and the remaining portion (if any) of such Advance shall be funded ratably (based on the Percentages of the various Lender Groups adjusted as provided above) by the Lenders in all Lender Groups
(A) the Conduit in such Lender Group may, in its sole discretion, make a Loan to the Borrowers in a principal amount equal to its Lender Group’s Percentage of such requested Advance; it being understood and agreed that, at no time will a Conduit have any obligation to make any Loan; and
(B) (B) if such Conduit declines to make any such Loan, the Liquidity Banks in such Lender Group shall make Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the related Lender Group’s Percentage of such requested Advance;
(iii) in connection with each such request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the LC Bank shall issue such Letter of Credit (and each LC Participant hereby severally agrees to make participation advances in connection with any draws under such Letters of Credit equal to such LC Participant’s Ratable LC Share of such draws);
provided, however, that, without limiting any other requirements for or conditions precedent to any Advance or any issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, under no circumstances shall any Lender make any Loan (including, without limitation, in connection with any mandatory deemed Advance pursuant to Section 1.1(b) below, but excluding any Loan deemed made pursuant to Section 1.10(c) below) nor shall the LC Bank issue any Letter of Credit hereunder, as applicable, if, after giving effect to such Loan or issuance and, in the case of any mandatory deemed Advance pursuant to Section 1.1(b) below, the application of the proceeds thereof to satisfy the related Reimbursement Obligation:
(A) with respect to any Liquidity Bank, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of such Liquidity Bank’s Loans plus, if such Liquidity Bank is also an LC Participant, such Liquidity Bank’s Ratable LC Share of the LC Participation Amount would exceed such Liquidity Bank’s Commitment;
3
(B) the Lender Group Exposure of such Lender’s Lender Group would exceed its Lender Group Commitment;
(C) the Aggregate Principal plus the LC Participation Amount would exceed the Aggregate Commitment;
(D) the LC Participation Amount would exceed the aggregate of the Commitments of the LC Bank and the LC Participants; or
(E) the Coverage Percentage would exceed 100%.
The Advances, the Reimbursement Obligation and all other Obligations of the Borrowers, shall be secured by the Collateral as provided in Article XIII.
The Borrowers may, subject to the requirements and conditions set forth herein, use the proceeds of any Advance hereunder to satisfy their Reimbursement Obligation to the LC Bank and the LC Participants (ratably, based on the outstanding amounts funded by the LC Bank and each such LC Participant) pursuant to Section 1.10 below.
(b) Deemed Advance Requests. In the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse the LC Bank and each applicable LC Participant for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date (out of their own funds available therefor or otherwise at such time) pursuant to Section 1.10, then the Collection Agent on behalf of Borrowers shall, automatically (and without the requirement of any further action on the part of any Person hereunder), be deemed to have requested a new Advance, on such date, pursuant to the terms hereof, in an amount equal to the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation at such time. Subject to the limitations on funding set forth in Section 1.1(a) above (and otherwise herein), the Conduits or Liquidity Banks, as applicable, shall fund such deemed Advance request and deliver the proceeds thereof directly to the Administrative Agent to be immediately distributed (ratably) to the LC Bank in satisfaction of the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 1.10, to the extent of the amounts permitted to be funded by the Conduits or Liquidity Banks, as applicable, at such time, hereunder; provided, however, that if any Defaulting Lender fails to fund its portion of any such Advance deemed requested pursuant to this clause (b), then, subject to the limitations on funding set forth in Section 1.1(a) above (and otherwise herein), the Liquidity Banks that are not Defaulting Lenders shall fund (or shall cause their related Conduits to fund) such Defaulting Lender’s portion of such Advance pro rata in proportion to their relative Commitments (determined without regard to the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment).
(c) Reducing the Aggregate Commitment. The Collection Agent, on behalf of Borrowers, may, upon at least 10 Business Days’ notice to the Co-Agents, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Lenders in each Lender Group in accordance with such Lender Group’s Percentage, the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment; it being understood that the “unused portion” of the Aggregate Commitment means the excess, if any of (x) the Aggregate Commitment (before giving effect to such reduction) over (y) the sum of the Aggregate Principal plus the LC Participation Amount; provided that:
(i) each partial reduction of the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 per Lender Group (or a larger integral multiple
4
of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof) and shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares;
(ii) unless terminated in whole, the Aggregate Commitment shall in no event be reduced below $150,000,000; and
(iii) no such reduction of the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment shall be permitted if such reduction would cause (A) the Aggregate Principal plus the LC Participation Amount to exceed the Aggregate Commitment or (B) any Lender Group’s Lender Group Exposure to exceed its Lender Group Commitment.
(d) Increasing the Aggregate Commitment. The Collection Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, may from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Co-Agent (a “Commitment Increase Notice”), request that the Lenders increase the Aggregate Commitment (calculated without reduction for any then existing Lender Group Commitment of any Defaulting Lender’s Lender Group) to an amount not exceeding $375,000,000 subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) each Commitment Increase Notice shall specify the date on which the proposed increase in Commitments will be effective, which date shall be a Business Day;
(ii) the Collection Agent shall not deliver any Commitment Increase Notice unless all the conditions to making Advances and issuing Letters of Credit specified in Article VI are satisfied, and each Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that such conditions are satisfied on the effective date of any such increase;
(iii) no Defaulting Lender or any member of a Defaulting Lender’s Lender Group shall not be permitted to increase its Commitment or Lender Group Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to any such Commitment Increase Notice;
(iv) each such increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall not be less than $30,000,000, and each such increase of any Lender Group Commitment shall not be less than $10,000,000;
(v) each such requested increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall request that each then existing Lender Group (excluding any Defaulting Lender’s Lender Group) increase its Lender Group Commitment ratably (based upon relative existing Lender Group Commitments);
(vi) after giving effect to any such increase, the aggregate Commitments of the LC Participant(s) in such Lender Group shall equal the aggregate Commitments of the Liquidity Bank(s) in such Lender Group;
(vii) no Lender Group’s Lender Group Commitment or Lender’s Commitment, as applicable, shall be increased pursuant to a Commitment Increase Notice unless its related Co-Agent shall have notified the Collection Agent and the Administrative Agent in writing not less than fifteen (15) days after delivery of the related Commitment
5
Increase Notice that such Lender Group and Lender accept the relevant increase proposed in such Commitment Increase Notice; provided that, if any Lender’s or Lender Group’s Co-Agent does not provide any such written notice accepting or declining such increase within such period, such Lender and/or Lender Group shall be deemed to have declined such increase, and its respective Lender Group Commitment and/or Commitment, as applicable, shall not be increased; and provided further that no Lender or Lender Group shall have the right to accept any increase in Commitment or Lender Group Commitment less than the amount proposed in the related Commitment Increase Notice; it being understood and agreed that each Co-Agent (on behalf of the Lender sin its Lender Group) may accept or decline any Commitment increase requested by the Collection Agent under this clause (d) in such Co-Agent’s sole and absolute discretion; and
(viii) if any Lender Group declines any such requested increase, each Lender Group accepting their respective requested increase may, by written notice to the Collection Agent and the Administrative Agent delivered not later than five days prior to the effective date specified in such Commitment Increase Notice, also accept its ratable share (based on relative existing Lender Group Commitments of the Lender Groups accepting the requested increase of the declining Lender Groups) of such declining Lender Group’s requested increase.
On the effective date specified in any Commitment Increase Notice, the Commitments and Lender Group Commitments, as applicable, of the Lenders and Lender Groups accepting such increases in accordance with this clause (d) shall be automatically increased without further action of, or notice to, any Person.
Section 1.2 Increases.
Not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to a proposed borrowing (or, in the case of a borrowing to be made at the LIBO Rate, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to such proposed borrowing), the Collection Agent, on behalf of Borrowers, shall provide the Co-Agents with written notice of each Advance in the form set forth as Exhibit II-A hereto (each, a “Borrowing Notice”). Each Borrowing Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested increase in Aggregate Principal (which shall not be less than $1,000,000 per Lender Group or a larger integral multiple of $100,000 per Lender Group), a pro forma calculation of the Coverage Percentage after giving effect to such requested increase in Aggregate Principal and the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day). If a Conduit declines to make its Percentage of a proposed Advance, the Collection Agent, on behalf of Borrowers, may cancel the Borrowing Notice or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the Advance will be made by such Conduit’s Liquidity Banks. On the date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, the applicable Conduit or its related Liquidity Banks, as determined pursuant to Section 1.1(a), shall make the proceeds of its Loan comprising such Lender Group’s Percentage of such requested Advance available to its Co-Agent in immediately available funds on the proposed date of borrowing. Upon receipt by a Co-Agent of such Loan proceeds and satisfaction of the
6
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, such Co-Agent shall deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Conduit, such Conduit’s Lender Group’s Percentage of the principal amount of the requested Advance or (ii) in the case of a Liquidity Bank, such Liquidity Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Liquidity Bank’s Lender Group’s Percentage of the principal amount of the requested Advance. If any Borrowing Notice is delivered after 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day specified in the first sentence of this Section 1.2, funding of the requested Advance will be on a best-efforts basis only.
Section 1.3 Decreases.
Except as provided in Section 1.4, the Collection Agent, on behalf of Borrowers, shall provide the Co-Agents with irrevocable prior written notice of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Principal in the form of Exhibit II-B hereto in conformity with the Required Notice Period (each, a “Reduction Notice”). Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Principal shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Principal to be reduced (which, except in the case of a reduction necessary to cause the Coverage Percentage to not exceed 100% as contemplated by Section 1.4(b), shall be in a minimum amount per Lender Group of $500,000 or a larger integral multiple of $100,000 and) which shall be applied ratably to the Loans of the Conduits and the Liquidity Banks in accordance with the amount of principal (if any) owing to the Conduits (ratably, based on their Lender Group’s Percentage of such reduction), on the one hand, and the amount of principal (if any) owing to the Liquidity Banks (ratably, based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of their Lender Group’s Percentage of such reduction), on the other hand (the “Aggregate Reduction”). Only one (1) Reduction Notice with respect to any Proposed Reduction Date shall be outstanding at any time.
Section 1.4 Deemed Collections; Coverage Percentage.
(a) If on any day:
(i) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or any other adjustment by any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or
(ii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or
(iii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced on account of the obligation of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or
(iv) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Monthly Report (for any
7
reason other than receipt of Collections thereon or such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or
(v) any of the representations or warranties of the applicable Borrower set forth in Section 5.1(i), (j), (r), (s), (t) or (u) were not true when made with respect to any Receivable,
then, on such day, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable (A) in the case of clauses (i)-(iv) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount included in calculating such Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and (B) in the case of clause (v) above, in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and, effective as of the date on which the next succeeding Monthly Report is required to be delivered, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by the amount of such Deemed Collection.
(b) Borrowers shall ensure that the Coverage Percentage at all times does not exceed 100%. If at any time the Coverage Percentage exceeds 100%, the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally and not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the next succeeding Settlement Date, first, prepay the Loans, if any, then outstanding and second, make deposits to the LC Collateral Account (up to the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the Adjusted LC Participation Amount to zero ($0)), such that after giving effect to such prepayments and/or deposits to the LC Collateral Account, the Coverage Percentage is less than or equal to 100%. Any such prepayment of the Loans shall be (i) allocated ratably among the Lenders based upon the aggregate outstanding principal balance of their respective Loans and (ii) made by the Borrowers, jointly and severally, by wire transfer to the applicable Co-Agent of an amount equal to the principal amount of it’s Lender Group’s Loans being repaid plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Upon receipt of such funds, each Co-Agent shall apply such funds to the Loans of the Lenders in its Lender Group as determined by such Co-Agent.
Section 1.5 Payment Requirements.
All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Loan Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not made before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) with electronic mail confirmation to the applicable Agent that such deposit or payment has been initiated, shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Lender they shall be paid to the applicable Co-Agent Account, for the account of such Lender, until otherwise notified by such Co-Agent. All computations of CP Costs, Interest, per annum fees calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Interest or other amounts calculated by reference to the Prime Rate) in the case days for the actual number of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day. CP Costs and Interest shall accrue from
8
the date on which a Loan is made to but excluding the date on which it is repaid provided payment is received by the time specified in the first sentence of this Section.
Section 1.6 Advances; Ratable Loans; Funding Mechanics; Liquidity Fundings.
(a) Each Advance hereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Lender Group’s Percentage;
(b) Each Advance hereunder shall consist of one or more Loans made by each Lender Group and, within each Lender Group, by the Conduits and/or Liquidity Banks in such Lender Group.
(c) Each Lender funding any Loan shall wire transfer the principal amount of its Loan to its Co-Agent in immediately available funds as soon as possible and in no event later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Borrowing Date and, subject to such Co-Agent’s receipt of such Loan proceeds, such Co-Agent shall wire transfer such funds to the Facility Account.
(d) Without limiting the generality of clause (e) below, while it is the intent of each Conduit to fund and maintain each requested Advance through the issuance of its Commercial Paper, the parties hereto acknowledge that any Conduit may, in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time (including, without limitation, if such Conduit is unable, or determines that it is undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper to fund all or any portion of its Loans, or is unable to repay such Commercial Paper upon the maturity thereof, or such Conduit’s Liquidity Agreement (or the commitment of the Liquidity Bank thereunder) terminates (in whole or in part) for any reason), put all or any portion of its Loans to its Liquidity Bank(s) at any time pursuant to its applicable Liquidity Agreement (or any other applicable agreement) to finance or refinance the necessary portion of its Loans through a Liquidity Funding to the extent available. The Liquidity Fundings may be Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as elected by the applicable Co-Agent. Regardless of whether a Liquidity Funding constitutes the direct funding of a Loan, an assignment of a Loan made by a Conduit or the sale of one or more participations in a Loan made by a Conduit, each Liquidity Bank in such Conduit’s Lender Group participating in a Liquidity Funding shall have the rights of a “Lender” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it had directly made a Loan to Borrowers, jointly and severally, in the amount of its Liquidity Funding.
(e) Nothing herein shall be deemed to commit any Conduit to fund or maintain any Loans at any time, and any Conduit may at any time grant to one or more of its Liquidity Banks or other Funding Sources, interests in its Loans and rights hereunder.
(f) The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that any Liquidity Bank, or any Affiliate of such Liquidity Bank may, from time to time (but without any obligation) purchase and hold Commercial Paper issued by its related Conduit for its own account, regardless of any difference between the CP Costs (expressed as an interest rate per annum) and the LIBO Rate.
Section 1.7 Letters of Credit.
9
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the proviso to Section 1.1(a) and Article VI), the LC Bank shall issue or cause the issuance of standby Letters of Credit (“Letters of Credit”) on behalf of the Borrowers (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, any Affiliate of the Borrowers designated by the Collection Agent on behalf of the Borrowers); provided, however, that the LC Bank will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that the issuance of such Letters of Credit would then cause (a) the sum of (i) the Aggregate Principal plus (ii) the LC Participation Amount to exceed the Aggregate Commitment, (b) the Coverage Percentage to exceed 100% or (c) the LC Participation Amount to exceed the aggregate of the Commitments of the LC Bank and the LC Participants. All amounts drawn upon Letters of Credit shall accrue CP Costs and/or Interest (and any associated fees under the Fee Letter) to the same extent as if such amounts had been borrowed by the Borrowers through Loans. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not accrue CP Costs or Interest but shall accrue fees to the extent set forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 1.8 Issuance of Letters of Credit.
(a) The Collection Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, may request the LC Bank, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice submitted on or before 11:00 a.m., New York time, to issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice substantially in the form of Exhibit II-A attached hereto (which such Notice shall include a pro forma calculation of the Coverage Percentage after giving effect to such request) and the LC Bank’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”), substantially in the form of Exhibit IX attached hereto completed to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the LC Bank; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Collection Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to agree with the Administrative Agent upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit.
(b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance, extension or renewal, as the case may be, and in no event later than the Facility Termination Date. The terms of each Letter of Credit may include customary “evergreen” provisions providing that such Letter of Credit’s expiry date shall automatically be extended for additional periods not to exceed twelve (12) months unless, not less than thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) (the “Notice Date”) prior to the applicable expiry date, the LC Bank delivers written notice to the beneficiary thereof declining such extension; provided, however, that if (x) any such extension would cause the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to occur after the Facility Termination Date or (y) the LC Bank determines that any condition precedent (including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 1.1(a) and Article VI) to issuing such Letter of Credit hereunder (as if such Letter of Credit were then being first issued) are not satisfied (other than any such condition requiring the Collection Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, to submit a Borrowing Request or Letter of Credit Application in respect thereof), then the LC Bank, in the case of clause (x) above, may (or, at the
10
written direction of any LC Participant, shall) or, in the case of clause (y) above, shall, use reasonable efforts in accordance with (and to the extent permitted by) the terms of such Letter of Credit to prevent the extension of such expiry date (including notifying the Collection Agent and the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in writing prior to the Notice Date that such expiry date will not be so extended). Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank, as determined by the LC Bank.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the LC Bank and the LC Participants, at such Person’s address for notices hereunder, of the request by the Collection Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, for a Letter of Credit hereunder, and shall provide the LC Bank and the LC Participants with the Borrowing Notice and Letter of Credit Application delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Collection Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, pursuant to clause (a), above, by the close of business on the day received or if received on a day that is not a Business Day or on any Business Day after 11:00 a.m. New York time on such day, on the next Business Day.
Section 1.9 Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.
The Collection Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall authorize and direct the LC Bank to name the applicable Borrower or Affiliate thereof (as determined pursuant to Section 1.7 above) as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit; provided in no event shall any Person other than the Borrowers have any obligation to reimburse the LC Bank under the terms of any Letter of Credit.
Section 1.10 Disbursements, Reimbursement.
(a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each LC Participant shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the LC Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such LC Participant’s Ratable LC Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.
(b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Collection Agent of such request. Provided that the Collection Agent shall have received such notice, the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the LC Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the LC Bank prior to 12:00 noon, New York time on each date that an amount is paid by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the LC Bank. In the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon, New York time, on the Drawing Date, the LC Bank will promptly notify each LC Participant thereof, and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that an Advance be made by the Lenders in the Lender
11
Groups for the LC Bank and the LC Participants to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 1.1(b). Any notice given by the LC Bank pursuant to this Section may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such oral notice.
(c) Each LC Participant shall, upon any notice pursuant to clause (b) above and (without limiting the generality of Section 1.14 below) without regard to whether any condition precedent to any Loan hereunder is satisfied or unsatisfied at such time, make available as a participation advance to the LC Bank by no later than 2:00 p.m., New York time on the Drawing Date an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable LC Share of the amount of the related drawing under a Letter of Credit; provided, however, that if any LC Participant that is a Defaulting Lender fails to fund its portion of any such participation advance pursuant to this clause (c), then, the LC Participants that are not Defaulting Lenders shall make available to the LC Bank such Defaulting Lender’s portion of such participation advance pro rata in proportion to their relative Commitments (determined without regard to the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment; provided, further, however, that no LC Participant shall be required to make any portion of any participation advance available to the LC Bank under this clause (c) solely to the extent that such after giving effect thereto:
(i) such LC Participant’s Ratable LC Share of the LC Participation Amount plus the aggregate outstanding principal balance of such LC Participant’s Loans would exceed such LC Participant’s Commitment; or
(ii) the Lender Group Exposure of such LC Participant’s Lender Group would exceed its Lender Group Commitment.
Upon any LC Participant making any such participation advance to the LC Bank, and whether or not any condition precedent to any Loan hereunder is satisfied or unsatisfied, such LC Participant shall be deemed to have made a Loan to the Borrowers in the amount of such participation advance; provided that, if for any reason (including, without limitation, an LC Participant being a Defaulting Lender), any portion of the amount of any such drawing is not so made available to the LC Bank by the LC Participants in accordance with this clause (c), the LC Bank shall be deemed to have made a Loan to the Borrowers for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the excess of (x) the amount of such drawing over (y) the aggregate amount made available by the LC Participants to the LC Bank in respect of such drawing.
If any LC Participant so notified fails to make available to the LC Bank the amount of such LC Participant’s Ratable LC Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., New York time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such LC Participant’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such LC Participant makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to interest accruing on Loans funded or maintained by the LC Bank on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The LC Bank will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the LC Bank to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any LC Participant to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such LC Participant from its obligation under this clause (c); provided that
12
such LC Participant shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in subclauses (i) and (ii) above in this paragraph until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from the LC Bank or the Administrative Agent of a drawing.
Each LC Participant’s Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) the LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled or (C) all Persons (other than the Loan Parties and any Originator) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.
Section 1.11 Repayment of Participation Advances.
(a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the LC Bank for its account of immediately available funds from the Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the LC Bank under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any LC Participant has made a participation advance to the LC Bank, or (ii) in payment of Interest or CP Costs on the Advances made or deemed to have been made in connection with any such draw, the LC Bank will pay to each LC Participant, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such LC Participant in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by the LC Bank; it being understood, that the LC Bank shall retain a ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any LC Participant.
(b) If the LC Bank is required at any time to return to any Borrower (or to the Collection Agent on its behalf) or Affiliate of any Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower to the LC Bank pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each LC Participant shall, on demand of the LC Bank, forthwith return to the LC Bank the amount of its Ratable LC Share of any amounts so returned by the LC Bank plus interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date the payment was first made to such LC Participant to, but not including, the date the payment is returned by such LC Participant.
Section 1.12 Documentation.
Each Borrower (on behalf of itself and any account party or applicant named on any Letter of Credit issued hereunder) agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by the LC Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder and by the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though the LC Bank’s interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different from any Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Bank, the LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Collection Agent’s or any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
13
Section 1.13 Determination to Honor Drawing Request.
In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the LC Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.
Section 1.14 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.
Each LC Participant’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make participation advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the joint and several obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the LC Bank upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Article I under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:
(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such LC Participant may have against the LC Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Co-Agent, any Lender, any Loan Party, any Originator or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
(ii) the failure of any Loan Party or any other Person to comply with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of Advances, requests for Letters of Credit or otherwise, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of participation advances hereunder;
(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;
(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party, any Originator, the LC Bank, any LC Participant or any of their respective Affiliates against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Loan Party, any Originator, the LC Bank, any LC Participant or any of their respective Affiliates may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the LC Bank, any LC Participant, any Co-Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between or among any Loan Party, any Originator, the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured or any of their respective Affiliates);
(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of, or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of, any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit, or any such draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, defective or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
14
inaccurate in any respect, even if the Administrative Agent or the LC Bank has been notified thereof;
(vi) payment by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the LC Bank;
(vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;
(viii) any failure by the LC Bank or any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Collection Agent or any other Loan Party, unless the LC Bank has received written notice from the Collection Agent of such failure within three Business Days after the LC Bank shall have furnished the Collection Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;
(ix) any Material Adverse Effect on any Loan Party, any Originator or any Affiliates thereof;
(x) any breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by any party thereto;
(xi) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to any Loan Party, any Originator or any of their respective Affiliates;
(xii) the fact that an Amortization Event or an Unmatured Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing;
(xiii) the fact that this Agreement or the obligations of any Loan Party hereunder shall have been terminated; and
(xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
Nothing in this Section 1.14 shall relieve the LC Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 1.15 Indemnity.
In addition to other amounts payable hereunder (including, without limitation, pursuant to Article X), the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally, agree to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, each LC Participant and any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates that have issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims,
15
demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, any LC Participant or any of their respective Affiliates) which the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, any LC Participant or any of their respective Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the LC Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).
Section 1.16 Liability for Acts and Omissions.
As between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Co-Agents and the Lenders, on the other, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit and by the respective account parties or applicants named on such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the respective foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Co-Agents or the Lenders shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the LC Bank shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party, any Originator or any of their respective Affiliates against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party, any Originator or any of their respective Affiliates and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Co-Agents and the Lenders, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the LC Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Co-Agents, the Lenders or their
16
respective Affiliates, be liable to any Loan Party, any Originator or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Co-Agents, the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the LC Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Co-Agents, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.
In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the LC Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put the LC Bank under any resulting liability to any Loan Party, any Originator, any LC Participant or any other Person.

fourth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations of Borrowers, if any, that are then due and owing.
The balance, if any, shall be paid to the Collection Agent, on behalf of Borrowers, or otherwise in accordance with the Collection Agent’s instructions. Collections applied to the
18
payment of Obligations of Borrowers shall be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set forth above in this Section 2.2, shall be shared ratably (within each priority) among the applicable Secured Parties in its Lender Group in accordance with the amount of such Obligations owing to each of them in respect of each such priority.
Section 2.3 Collections Following Amortization.
On the Amortization Date and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust, for the Secured Parties, all Collections received on such day. On and after the Amortization Date, the Servicer shall, on each Settlement Date and on each other Business Day specified by the Administrative Agent at the direction of any Co-Agent (after deduction of any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee as of such date) distribute all Collections then held by the Servicer (including, without limitation, the amounts set aside and held in trust pursuant to the preceding sentence) in the following order of priority to reduce the Obligations of the Borrowers:

third, to the Secured Parties, ratably in payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letter;

fifth, to the LC Collateral Account for the benefit of the LC Bank and the LC Participants, the amount (if any) necessary to cause the amount of cash collateral held in the LC Collateral Account to equal the LC Participation Amount;

19
seventh, after all Obligations of Borrowers have been reduced to zero ($0), to the Collection Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers.
All amounts to be distributed to (or for the account of) any Secured Party pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be distributed by the Servicer to such Secured Party’s related Co-Agent’s Co-Agent Account. Collections applied to the payment of Obligations of Borrowers shall be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set forth above in this Section 2.3, shall be shared ratably (within each priority) among the applicable Secured Parties in accordance with the amount of such Obligations owing to each of them in respect of each such priority.
Section 2.4 Payment Rescission.
No payment of any of the Obligations shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason. Borrowers shall remain jointly and severally obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the applicable Co-Agent Account (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus Interest on such amount at the Default Rate from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay CP Costs with respect to the principal balance of the Loans from time to time outstanding. Each Loan of a Conduit that is funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share that the principal in respect of such Loan that is funded with Pooled Commercial Paper represents in relation to all assets held by such Conduit and funded substantially with related Pooled Commercial Paper on such day.
Section 3.2 Calculation of CP Costs.
Not later than the 3rd Business Day immediately preceding each Monthly Reporting Date, each Conduit (or its Co-Agent) shall calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs applicable to its CP Rate Loans for the Calculation Period then most recently ended and shall notify the Collection Agent, on behalf of Borrowers, of such aggregate amount.

Prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the outstanding principal balance of each Liquidity Funding shall accrue interest for each day at either the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The initial Interest Rate for any Loan transferred to the Liquidity Banks by the applicable Conduit pursuant to the applicable Liquidity Agreement shall be the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Default Rate is then applicable or unless the applicable Liquidity Bank, in its sole discretion, determines to fund such Loan as a LIBO Rate Loan). If the applicable Liquidity Banks acquire by assignment from the applicable Conduit any Loan pursuant to the applicable Liquidity Agreement, each Loan so assigned shall each be deemed to have an Interest Period commencing on the date of any such assignment.
Section 4.2 Interest Payments.
On each Settlement Date for each Liquidity Funding, Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay to the applicable Co-Agent (for the benefit of the Liquidity Banks in its Lender Group) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Interest for the Calculation Period then most recently ended in accordance with Article II.
Section 4.3 Suspension of the LIBO Rate.
If any Liquidity Bank notifies its applicable Co-Agent that it has determined that funding its Pro Rata Share of its Lender Group’s Percentage of the Liquidity Fundings at a LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Liquidity Funding at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Liquidity Funding at such LIBO Rate, then such Co-Agent shall suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate and require the application of the Alternate Base Rate for any Liquidity Funding of such Liquidity Bank accruing Interest at such LIBO Rate.
Section 4.4 Default Rate.
From and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, all Liquidity Fundings shall accrue Interest at the Default Rate.

Each of the Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(g) Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished by such Person or any of its Affiliates to the Agents or the Lenders for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by such Person or any of its Affiliates to the Agents or the Lenders will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified and does not and will not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, taken as a whole, not misleading.

No Borrower has granted any Person dominion and control of the Concentration Account, any Lock-Box or any Local Deposit Account, or the right to take dominion and control of the Concentration Account, any such Lock-Box or Local Deposit Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event.

Borrowers represent and warrant that each Contract with respect to each Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(i) Lenders’ Reliance. Each of the Borrowers and the Collection Agent (collectively, the “SPEs”) acknowledges that the Agents and the Lenders are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance upon such SPE’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from each Originator. Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the SPEs shall take all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, all steps that any Agent or any Lender may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain such SPE’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties that such SPE is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of each Originator and any Affiliates thereof (other than the other the SPEs) and not just a division of any Originator or any such Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, each of the SPEs will:

(iv) pay its own liabilities, losses and expenses only out of its own funds;
(v) maintain separate annual and quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, showing its assets and liabilities separate and distinct from those of any other Person; provided, however, that such SPE’s financial statements may be consolidated with the financial statements of the Parent or its Affiliates to the extent required by generally accepted accounting principles.
(vi) pay or bear the cost (or for so long as such statements are consolidated, the pro-rata cost) of the preparation of its financial statements;
(vii) not guarantee or become obligated for the debts or obligations of any other entity or person (other than the obligations of the other SPEs hereunder);
(viii) not hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the debts or obligations of any other Person;
34
(ix) hold itself out as an entity separate and distinct from any other Person (including its Affiliates);
(x) correct any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity;
(xi) use separate stationery, checks (if applicable) and the like bearing its own name;
(xii) compensate all consultants, independent contractors and agents from its own funds for services provided to it by such consultants, independent contractors and agents;
(xiii) to the extent that such SPE and any of its Affiliates occupy any premises in the same location, allocate fairly, appropriately and nonarbitrarily any rent and overhead expenses among and between such entities with the result that each entity bears its fair share of all such rent and expenses;
(xiv) to the extent that such SPE and any of its Affiliates share the same officers, allocate fairly, appropriately and nonarbitrarily any salaries and expenses related to providing benefits to such officers between or among such entities, with the result that each such entity will bear its fair share of the salary and benefit costs associated with all such common or shared officers;

Such Loan Party will not grant the right to take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Local Deposit Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to the Administrative Agent as contemplated by this Agreement.
(k) Taxes. Such Loan Party will file all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and will promptly pay all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing, except any such taxes which are not yet delinquent or are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books.

(l) Payment to Applicable Originator. With respect to any Receivable purchased by a Borrower, such sale shall be effected under, and in strict compliance with the terms of, the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to the amount and timing of payments to be made to the applicable Originator in respect of the purchase price for such Receivable.
37
(m) Maintenance of Ownership and Perfection. Borrowers will take all necessary action to maintain the Administrative Agent’s perfected security interest in and to the Collateral, free and clear of any Liens other than Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the Administrative Agent as any Agent may reasonably request).
(n) Each Borrower and the Collection Agent will maintain at all times not less than one Independent Manager for such Person, which Independent Manager meets all the qualifications specified in this Agreement’s definition of “Independent Manager” at all times. The limited liability company agreement of each Borrower and the Collection Agent shall provide (i) that such Person’s Member shall not (a) file or consent to the filing of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceedings in which such Person is a debtor, institute any proceedings under any applicable insolvency law in which such Person is a debtor, or otherwise seek any relief under any laws relating to the relief from debts or the protection of debtors generally in which such Person is a debtor, (b) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, custodian or any similar official for such Person or a substantial portion of the properties of such Person, (c) make any assignment for the benefit of such Person’s creditors or take any action that would cause such Person to become insolvent, (d) admit in writing the Person’s inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or (e) take any action in furtherance of the foregoing, unless in each case the Independent Manager for such Person shall affirmatively consent to the taking of such action prior to the taking of such action, (ii) that such Independent Manager shall consider the interests of such Person’s creditors in acting or otherwise voting on any action described in the forgoing clause (i) and (iii) that such Person’s Independent Manager is required to meet all the qualifications specified in this Agreement’s definition of “Independent Manager” (other than the qualifications set forth in clause (ii) thereof). None of the Borrower nor the Collection Agent shall amend the provisions required by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above without the prior written consent of its respective Independent Manager. In the event an Independent Manager of a Borrower or the Collection Agent resigns or otherwise ceases to be a manager of any Borrower or the Collection Agent, there shall be selected a replacement Independent Manager who (x) satisfies the definition of Independent Manager and (y) shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent as evidenced by a prior writing executed by the Administrative Agent.
Section 7.2 Negative Covenants of the Loan Parties.
Until the Final Payout Date, each Loan Party hereby covenants, as to itself, that:
(a) Name Change, Offices and Records. No Borrower will change its (i) state of organization, (ii) name, (iii) identity or structure (within the meaning of Article 9 of any applicable enactment of the UCC) or relocate
38
any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given the Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and (ii) delivered to the Administrative Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with such change or relocation.

Except as may be required by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.2(b), such Loan Party will not terminate or change the standing instructions providing for the daily sweep of available amounts on deposit in the Local Deposit Accounts into the Concentration Account or available amounts on deposit in the Concentration Account into the Blocked Sweep Account. Such Loan Party will not authorize any Originator to open any new Local Deposit Account into which it intends to receive Collections unless (i) it shall have delivered not less than 10 Business Days’ notice of its intention to do so to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) simultaneously with the opening of any such account, it shall have instructed the applicable Collection Bank to sweep or otherwise transfer the available funds deposited into such Local Deposit Account each day into the Concentration Account. Such Loan Party will not, and will not authorize any Originator to, change the instructions to any Governmental Entity obligated on any Government Receivable to make payments thereon either directly to the Concentration Account or to a Lock-Box or Local Deposit Account that sweeps daily into the Concentration Account. Such Loan Party will not, and will not authorize any Originator to, authorize any Person to make payments or deposits into any Lock-Box or Collection Account other than Collections in respect to Transferred Assets except for payments in respect of Lease Receivables which are free and clear of any Lien and only for so long as such payments in respect of Lease Receivables represent less than 5% of the average monthly receipts in the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts as a whole; provided, however, that the Servicer may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments that are made to a Lock-Box or Local Deposit Account if such new instructions require such Obligor to make payments to another existing Lock-Box or Local Deposit Account or to the Concentration Account.
(c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Loan Party will not, and will not permit any Originator to, make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that would have a material adverse effect upon the collectibility of the Eligible Receivables or Eligible Participation Interests or upon the credit quality of any newly created Eligible Receivables or Eligible Participation Interests. Except as provided in Section 8.2(d), the Servicer will not, and will not permit any Originator to, extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.
(d) Sales, Liens. No Borrower will sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Lien upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any of the Collateral, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of a security interest therein in favor of the Administrative Agent and the filing of
39
related financing statements as provided herein), and each Borrower will defend the right, title and interest of the Secured Parties in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under any Borrower or any Originator.
(e) Use of Proceeds. No Borrower will use the proceeds of the Advances or use any Letter of Credit, in either case, for any purpose other than (i) as consideration for Receivables and Related Security under and in accordance with the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement, including without limitation, making payments on its Subordinated Note to the extent permitted thereunder and under the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement, (ii) satisfying the Reimbursement Obligation in accordance with Section 1.1(b), (iii) paying its ordinary and necessary operating expenses when and as due, and (iv) making Restricted Junior Payments to the extent permitted under this Agreement.
(f) Termination Date Determination. No Borrower will designate the Termination Date, or send any written notice to any Originator in respect thereof, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, except with respect to the occurrence of a Termination Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(f) of the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement.
(g) Restricted Junior Payments. No Borrower will make any Restricted Junior Payment if after giving effect thereto, such Borrower’s Net Worth (as defined in the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement) would be less than the Required Capital Amount (as defined in the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement).
(h) Debt. The Collection Agent will not, nor will any Borrower, incur or permit to exist any Debt or liability on account of deposits except: (i) the Obligations, (ii) the Subordinated Loans, and (iii) other current accounts payable arising in the ordinary course of business and not overdue.
ARTICLE VIII.
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
Section 8.1 Designation of Servicer.
(a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. UHS of Delaware is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. After the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may at any time designate as Servicer any Person to succeed UHS of Delaware or any successor Servicer.
40
(b) Without the prior written consent of the Agents and the Required Co-Agents, UHS of Delaware shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person except with respect to certain Defaulted Receivables, with respect to which it may engage outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as UHS of Delaware remains the Servicer hereunder: (i) UHS of Delaware shall be and remain liable to the Agents and the Secured Parties for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Agents and the Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal exclusively with UHS of Delaware in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder.
Section 8.2 Duties of Servicer.
(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.
(b) The Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account. The Servicer shall effect a Collection Account Agreement with the bank at which the Blocked Sweep Account is maintained and shall cause the Blocked Sweep Account to at all times remain subject to such Collection Account Agreement. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Transferred Assets, the Servicer shall promptly, and in any event within one (1) business day, remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances.
(c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Borrowers and the Secured Parties their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the request of any Agent, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agents, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer and the other Loan Parties prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Secured Parties on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.
(d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Agents or the Secured Parties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.
41
(e) The Servicer shall hold in trust for Borrowers and the Secured Parties all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of an Amortization Event, deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof turn over to the Collection Agent, for the account of the applicable Borrower(s), any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Debt not constituting Receivables or proceeds of Collateral. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Agent, furnish to the Agents (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Secured Parties pursuant to Article II.
(f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator or any Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by a Co-Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.
Section 8.3 Collection Notices.
The Administrative Agent is authorized at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. The Collection Agent and each of the Borrowers hereby transfer to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Secured Parties, effective when the Administrative Agent delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of the Collection Agent whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. The Collection Agent and each Borrower hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, and agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (i) at any time after delivery of the Collection Notices, to endorse the applicable payee’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event, to enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security, and (iii) at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event, to take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Administrative Agent rather than the Collection Agent or Borrowers.
Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Borrowers and Collection Agent.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Co-Agents and the other Secured Parties of their rights
42
hereunder shall not release the Servicer, the Collection Agent, any Originator or any Borrower from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform the obligations of any Borrower, any Originator or any Loan Party. Moreover, the ultimate responsibility for the servicing of the Receivables shall be borne by Borrowers, jointly and severally.
Section 8.5 Monthly Reports.
The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agents (i) on each Monthly Reporting Date, a Monthly Report and an electronic file of the data contained therein (including the calculation of the Required Reserve and the components thereof) and (ii) at such times as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables.
Section 8.6 Servicing Fee.
As compensation for the Servicer’s servicing activities on their behalf, Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee, which fee shall be paid from Collections in arrears on each Settlement Date.
ARTICLE IX.

50
relevant Secured Party, such amounts charged to such Secured Party or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Secured Party for such increased cost or such reduction.

Section 14.4 Protection of Administrative Agent’s Security Interest.
(a) Each of the Loan Parties agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any of the Agents may request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral, or to enable any Secured Party to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may, or the Administrative Agent may direct any Borrower or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Borrowers’ joint and several expense, of the security interests of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

(b) If any Loan Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Administrative Agent’s or such Secured Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrowers, jointly and severally, as provided in Section 10.3. Each Loan Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Loan Party (i) to execute (if required) on behalf of each Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the Receivables and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

60
of the confidential nature thereof (“Related Persons”) solely for the purposes of evaluating, administering and enforcing the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and making any necessary business judgments with respect thereto, (b) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Agent or Lender on a non-confidential basis from a Person not an Affiliate of such Agent or Lender not known to such Lender to be violating a confidentiality obligation by such disclosure, (c) to the extent disclosure is required by any Law, subpoena or judicial order or process (provided that notice of such requirement or order shall be promptly furnished to the applicable Loan Party unless such notice is legally prohibited) or requested or required by bank, securities, insurance or investment company regulations or auditors or any administrative body or commission to whose jurisdiction such Agent or Lender may be subject, (d) to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (e) to assignees or participants, prospective assignees or participants, or Related Persons of the foregoing, in each case who agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.5, (f) to the extent required in connection with any litigation between any Loan Party and any Lender with respect to the Loans or any Transaction Document, (g) to any dealer or placement agent for such party’s Commercial Paper Notes, who (i) in the good faith belief of such party, has a need to know such confidential information, (ii) is informed by such party of the confidential nature of such information and the terms of this Section 14.5 and (iii) has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.5, (h) to any Liquidity Bank (whether or not on the date of disclosure, such Liquidity Bank continues to be an Eligible Assignee), or to any other actual or potential permitted assignee or Participant permitted under Article XII who has agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.5, (i) Related Persons with respect to the foregoing, (j) without limiting the generality of clause (d) above, to any rating agency that maintains a rating for such party’s Commercial Paper Notes or is considering the issuance of such a rating, for the purposes of reviewing the credit of any Lender in connection with such rating, (k) to any other party to this Agreement (and any independent attorneys and auditors of such party), for the purposes contemplated hereby, (l) to any entity that provides a surety bond or other credit enhancement to either Conduit solely for the purpose of providing such surety bond or other credit enhancement and not for any other purpose, (m) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the extent required to exercise rights against the Collateral, (n) Related Persons with respect to the foregoing, or (o) with the applicable Loan Party’s prior written consent. In addition, each of the Lenders and the Agents may disclose on a “no name” basis to any actual or potential investor in Commercial Paper Notes information regarding the nature of this Agreement, the basic terms hereof (including without limitation the amount and nature of the Aggregate Commitment and the Advances), the nature, amount and status of the Receivables, and the current and/or historical ratios of losses to liquidations and/or outstandings with respect to the Receivables. This Section 14.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 14.6 Confidentiality of Program Information.
(a) Confidential Information. Each party hereto acknowledges that the Lenders and the Agents regard the structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be proprietary, and each such party agrees that:
61
(i) it will not disclose without the prior consent of each Lender or each Agent (other than to the directors, employees, auditors, counsel or affiliates (collectively, “representatives”) of such party, each of whom shall be informed by such party of the confidential nature of the Program Information (as defined below) and of the terms of this Section 14.6): (A) any information regarding the pricing in, or copies of, the Liquidity Agreements or the Fee Letters, or (B) any information which is furnished by either Lender or any Agent to such party and which is designated by such Lender or such Agent to such party in writing or otherwise as confidential or not otherwise available to the general public (the information referred to in clauses (A) and (B) is collectively referred to as the “Program Information”); provided, however, that such party may disclose any such Program Information (1) as may be required by any municipal, state, federal or other regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such party, including, without limitation, the SEC, (2) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation, regulatory request or ruling applicable to such party, (3) subject to subsection (c) below, in the event such party is legally compelled (by interrogatories, requests for information or copies, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any such Program Information, (4) in financial statements as required by GAAP or (5) to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization;
(ii) it will use the Program Information solely for the purposes of evaluating, administering and enforcing the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and making any necessary business judgments with respect thereto; and
(iii) it will, upon demand, return (and cause each of its representatives to return) to the applicable Co-Agent, all documents or other written material received from the applicable Lender or Agent in connection with (a)(i)(B) above and all copies thereof made by such party which contain the Program Information.
(b) Availability of Confidential Information. This Section 14.6 shall be inoperative as to such portions of the Program Information which are or become generally available to the public or such party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Lender or an Agent or were known to such party on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by a Lender or an Agent.
(c) Legal Compulsion to Disclose. In the event that any party or anyone to whom such party or its representatives transmits the Program Information is requested or becomes legally compelled (by interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Program Information, such party will provide the applicable Lender or Agent with prompt written notice so that such Lender or Agent may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or, if it so chooses, agree that such party may disclose such Program Information pursuant to such request or legal compulsion. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or such Lender or Agent agrees that such Program Information may be disclosed, such party will furnish only that portion of the Program Information which (in such party’s good faith judgment) is legally required to be furnished and
62
will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Program Information.
(d) Survival. This Section 14.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 14.7 Bankruptcy Petition.
Each of the parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any Conduit, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States. This Section 14.7 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 14.8 Limitation of Liability.
Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Lender or any Agent, no claim may be made by any Loan Party or any other Person against any Lender or any Agent or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Loan Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit shall have any obligation to pay any amount required to be paid by it hereunder in excess of any amount available to it after paying or making provision for the payment in full of its Commercial Paper. All payment obligations of each Conduit hereunder are contingent on the availability to such Conduit of funds in excess of the amounts necessary to pay in full when due its Commercial Paper; and each of the other parties hereto agrees that it will not have a claim, as defined under Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, if and to the extent that any such payment obligation owed to it by such Conduit exceeds the amount available to such Conduit to pay such amount after paying or making provision for the payment in full of its Commercial Paper; provided however, that if any Conduit is unable to fund its full portion of any Advance, such Conduit’s Liquidity Banks shall fund that portion of the applicable Advance. The provisions of this Section 14.8 will survive termination of this Agreement and payment in full of such Conduit’s Commercial Paper.
Section 14.9 CHOICE OF LAW.
63
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION OF THE OWNERSHIP INTEREST OF BORROWER OR THE SECURITY INTEREST OF THE AGENT, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SECURED PARTIES, IN ANY OF THE COLLATERAL IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 14.13 Counterparts; Severability; Section References.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.
Section 14.14 Business Associate Agreement; Health Care Data Privacy and Security Requirements.
(a) Definitions. “HIPAA” means the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. “HITECH” means the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act “HIPAA Regulations” means HIPAA, HITECH and all regulations promulgated thereunder, including, but not limited to those set forth under 45 C.F.R. Parts 160, 162 and 164, as amended from time to time. “Business Associate” refers severally and not jointly to each of the Agents, Borrowers, the Collection Agent, any successor Servicer to UHS of Delaware appointed by the Agents pursuant to this Agreement, and any sub-contractor or agent thereof, respectively. All other terms used, but not otherwise defined in this Section, shall have the same meaning as those terms defined in the HIPAA Regulations.
(b) Privacy. In accordance with the purposes of this Agreement, the Loan Parties and each Business Associate agrees that any use, disclosure or request of protected health information, as that term is defined in the HIPAA Regulations (“PHI”), shall be limited, to the extent
65
practicable, to the limited data set, as that term is defined under the HIPAA Regulations, or, if needed by such party, to the minimum necessary to accomplish the intended purpose of such use, disclosure, or request, respectively, for the specific purposes set forth in this Agreement. Each Loan Party and Business Associate agrees not to use, disclose or request any PHI received from UHS of Delaware or another Loan Party, or created by any Business Associate, other than as permitted by this Agreement and the HIPAA Regulations. Each Loan Party and Business Associate agrees to implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of any PHI created, maintained, or transmitted pursuant to this Agreement. Each Business Associate will provide access to an individual’s PHI upon the reasonable request of UHS of Delaware, will make any amendments to an individual’s PHI as directed by UHS of Delaware, and will maintain a record of disclosures of PHI as required for UHS of Delaware to make an accounting to the individual as required by the HIPAA Regulations. Each Business Associate will promptly report to UHS of Delaware any breach, use or disclosure of an individual’s PHI not provided for by this Agreement of which such Business Associate becomes aware. In the event that any Business Associate contracts with any sub-contractors or agents and provides them with an individual’s PHI, such Business Associate shall indicate in any agreement with such sub-contractor or agent, respectively, that each agrees to the same privacy and security requirements and restrictions and conditions that apply to such Business Associate with respect to the individual’s PHI and as set forth under the HIPAA Regulations. Each Business Associate will, upon reasonable notice, make its internal practices, books, and records relating to the use and disclosure of PHI available to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (the “Secretary”) and to UHS of Delaware to the extent required for determining compliance with this Section and the HIPAA Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no legal privilege shall be deemed waived by any Business Associate or UHS of Delaware by virtue of this clause (b) of this Section. UHS of Delaware and the other Loan Parties may terminate this Agreement or cease to provide PHI to any Business Associate, in either case, without penalty or recourse, if it determines that any Business Associate has violated a material term of this Section or applicable law that is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the notice of violation to all of the Business Associates or, in lieu of termination, UHS of Delaware, in its sole discretion, may report any breach to the Secretary. Upon such termination or cessation or upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, each Business Associate and its sub-contractors or agents agree to return or to destroy all PHI and retain no copies (and to certify to such actions) unless otherwise agreed by UHS of Delaware or such return or disclosure is not reasonably feasible (in which case, at no additional cost to UHS of Delaware, each Business Associate will extend the protections of this Section to the PHI that such Business Associate maintains and limit any further uses and disclosures of the PHI to the purposes that make the return or destruction of the PHI not feasible).
(c) Security. Each Business Associate shall adopt, implement and maintain throughout the term of this Agreement security policies, procedures, and practices, administrative, physical and technical safeguards, and security mechanisms that reasonably and adequately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the PHI that it creates, receives, maintains, or transmits on behalf of UHS of Delaware or another Loan Party (“Business Associate Safeguards”), and each Business Associate shall require its sub-contractors or agents to adopt
66
Business Associate Safeguards that are equally appropriate and adequate. UHS of Delaware and the other Loan Parties may terminate this Agreement or cease to provide PHI to any Business Associate, at any time, without penalty, if UHS of Delaware determines, in its sole discretion, that the Business Associate Safeguards are unsatisfactory.
(d) EDI. If any Business Associate conducts all or any portion of its business or pays any claim in a transaction covered by the Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) Rule on behalf of UHS of Delaware or another Loan Party, then Business Associate covenants and warrants that it shall and shall require its agents and/or subcontractors to comply with the requirements of the EDI Rule that are applicable to UHS of Delaware or such other Loan Party.
(e) Benefit. This Section is not intended to create any right in or obligations to any Person that is not a party to this Agreement, including individuals.
(f) Mitigation. In addition to any rights of indemnification contained in this Agreement, each Business Associate will take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any harm caused by its breach of this Section and/or reimburse UHS of Delaware for the cost of commercially reasonable mitigation based upon, arising out of or attributable to the acts or omissions of such Business Associate, its employees, officers, directors, agents, or sub-contractors for uses or disclosures in violation of this Section.
(g) Amendment. Each of the Business Associates and UHS of Delaware agree to amend this Section in such manner as is reasonably necessary to comply with any amendment of (i) HIPAA, HITECH or other applicable law, (ii) the HIPAA Regulations or other applicable regulations, or (iii) any applicable court decision or binding governmental policy. If the parties are unable to agree on an amendment within 30 days of notice from UHS of Delaware to each Business Associate of the requirement to amend this Section, UHS of Delaware and the other Loan Parties may, at the option of UHS of Delaware, terminate this Agreement or cease to provide PHI to any Business Associate with whom UHS of Delaware has been unable so to agree, upon written notice to the Business Associates.
(h) Survival. This Section and the confidentiality, privacy, security, and other requirements established herein shall survive termination of this Agreement.
67
(i) Interpretation. Any ambiguity in this Section shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that permits UHS of Delaware and the other Loan Parties to comply with the HIPAA Regulations and the EDI Rule.
(j) Several Liability of Business Associates. No Business Associate shall have any liability to UHS of Delaware or any third party of any kind or nature, whether such liability is asserted on the basis of contract, tort (including negligence or strict liability), or otherwise, arising from the failure of any other Business Associate to fulfill its obligations under this Section.
Section 14.15 Ratification. After giving effect to this Agreement and each of the other agreements, documents and instruments contemplated in connection herewith, the Performance Undertaking, along with each of the provisions thereof, remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed by the Performance Guarantor and each of the other parties hereto.

Performance Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Recipient (and its assigns), forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to Recipient, all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal expenses) incurred or expended by Recipient in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, this Undertaking and the enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking from the time when such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a 360 day year) equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, such rate of interest changing when and as the Prime Rate changes.

Performance Guarantor warrants that it has adequate means to obtain from each of the Subsidiary Companies, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial condition of such Subsidiary Company, and that it is not relying on Recipient to provide such information, now or in the future. Performance Guarantor also irrevocably waives all defenses (i) that at any time may be available in respect of the Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) that arise under the law of suretyship, including impairment of collateral. Recipient (and its assigns) shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Performance Guarantor and without relieving Performance Guarantor of any liability under this Undertaking, to deal with each of the Subsidiary Companies and with
VII-3
each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in such manner as Recipient in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end Performance Guarantor agrees that the validity and enforceability of this Undertaking, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 7 hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, or default with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any payment Obligations of any of the Subsidiary Companies or any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking even though Recipient (or its assigns) might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the payment Obligations of such Subsidiary Company, or to amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking; (g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which Performance Guarantor may have at any time against any of the Subsidiary Companies in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of any of the Subsidiary Companies to perform or comply with any term of the Agreements or any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder, all whether or not Performance Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 4.

Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of any of the Subsidiary Companies or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any of the Subsidiary Companies; (b) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the failure of any of the Subsidiary Companies or Performance Guarantor to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations or this Undertaking; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Guaranteed Obligations have become irrecoverable from any of the Subsidiary Companies for any other reason other than final payment in full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Performance Guarantor. This Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the
VII-4
Subsidiary Companies or for any other reason with respect to any of the Subsidiary Companies, all such amounts then due and owing with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations under the terms of the Agreements, or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by Performance Guarantor.
Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Performance Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Recipient that:
(a) Existence and Standing. Performance Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation. Performance Guarantor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, and has and holds all corporate power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted except where the failure to so qualify or so hold would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the ability of the Performance Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder.
(b) Authorization, Execution and Delivery; Binding Effect. The execution and delivery by Performance Guarantor of this Undertaking, and the performance of its obligations hereunder, are within its corporate powers and authority and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part. This Undertaking has been duly executed and delivered by Performance Guarantor. This Undertaking constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Performance Guarantor enforceable against Performance Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(c) No Conflict; Government Consent. The execution and delivery by Performance Guarantor of this Undertaking, and the performance of its obligations hereunder do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on assets of Performance Guarantor or its Subsidiaries (except as created hereunder) except, in any case, where such contravention or violation would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the ability of the Performance Guarantor to perform is obligations hereunder.
(d) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of Performance Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries dated as of December 31, 2006 heretofore delivered to Recipient have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Performance Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for the periods ended on such dates. Since the later of (i) December 31, 2006 and (ii) the last time this representation was made or deemed
VII-5
made, no event has occurred which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the ability of the Performance Guarantor to perform is obligations hereunder.
(e) Taxes. Performance Guarantor has filed all United States federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by Performance Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. No federal or state tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Performance Guarantor in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.
(f) Litigation and Contingent Obligations. Except as disclosed in the filings made by Performance Guarantor with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of Performance Guarantor’s knowledge threatened against or affecting Performance Guarantor or any of its properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other body, that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of Performance Guarantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of Performance Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Undertaking, or (iii) the validity or enforceability of any of this Undertaking or the rights or remedies of Recipient hereunder. Performance Guarantor does not have any material Contingent Obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6(d).
Section 7. Subrogation; Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full Performance Guarantor: (a) will not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of Recipient, the Agents or any Lender against any of the Subsidiary Companies, (b) hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity or otherwise) to the claims of Recipient, the Agents and the Lenders against any of the Subsidiary Companies and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and “claims” (as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which Performance Guarantor might now have or hereafter acquire against any of the Subsidiary Companies that arise from the existence or performance of Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (c) will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against any of the Subsidiary Companies in respect of any liability of Performance Guarantor to such Subsidiary Company and (d) waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by Recipient, the Agents or the Lenders.

Performance Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Performance Guarantor will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any of the Subsidiary Companies to Performance Guarantor until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Performance Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such
VII-6
amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by Performance Guarantor as trustee for Recipient (and its assigns) and be paid over to Recipient (or its assigns) on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of Performance Guarantor under the other provisions of this Undertaking.

Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations are finally paid and satisfied in full and the Credit and Security Agreement is terminated, provided that this Undertaking shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of any of the Subsidiary Companies or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not Recipient (or its assigns) is in possession of this Undertaking. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the Bankruptcy Code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Guaranteed Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.

This Performance Undertaking shall survive the insolvency of any of the Subsidiary Companies and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against any of the Subsidiary Companies under the Bankruptcy Code or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes.

Regardless of the other means of obtaining payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Recipient (and its assigns) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Performance Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Performance Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any deposits and other sums against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking, whether or not Recipient (or any such assign) shall have made any demand under this Undertaking and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured.
Section 11. Taxes. All payments to be made by Performance Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding. If Performance Guarantor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of tax or otherwise from any such payment, the sum due from it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Recipient receive a net sum equal to the sum which they would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.
VII-7
