The Borrower has requested the Lenders to extend credit in the form of Loans at any time and from time to time prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $45,000,000. The proceeds of the Loans are to be used solely (i) to refinance all outstanding Indebtedness and other obligations under the Victory Park Revolving Credit Agreement (other than such Indebtedness that is being forgiven, such Indebtedness that is being rolled into this Agreement as described below and such Indebtedness and other obligations (including without limitation, fees, expenses and prepayment premiums) that is being exchanged for no more than $10.0 million of Additional Notes (as defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture described in clause (a) of the definition thereof) on the Closing Date), (ii) to finance Borrower’s existing portfolio of applicable Loan Receivables and future origination of applicable Loan Receivables, (iii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iv) for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and as otherwise permitted by this Agreement (provided that the proceeds of the Loans may not be used to make payments of interest or principal on, or repurchase or redeem, the Senior Secured Notes).
Commitments in the amount of $42,000,000 are held initially by the SPV Lender, and to obtain the funds necessary to make the $42,000,000 of Revolving Loans under such Commitments hereunder, the SPV Lender is issuing notes in the same aggregate principal amount to the New Lenders and is securing those New Lender Notes with a first lien on all of SPV Lender’s right, title and interest in and to the Loan Documents and the Loan Document Obligations hereunder. In recognition that the holders of the New Lender Notes have the sole economic interest in the Revolving Loans and Revolving Notes issued pursuant to the Commitments, the SPV Lender has agreed hereunder that, except as provided in Section 9.07 with respect to VPC, (i) the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall act at the direction of the Bondholder Designee (as defined herein), which will serve as the representative of the New Lenders of the New Lender Notes and the Bondholder Designee will act solely at the direction of the New Lender Noteholder Majority, (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders may exercise any rights or remedies or provide any consents or waivers hereunder without the prior written consent of the Bondholder Designee except as set forth in clause (t) of Article VII and (iii) the Bondholder Designee may directly exercise certain rights and remedies and provide consents and waivers hereunder to the extent expressly provided herein.

(a) Interest on each Loan shall be payable to the Administrative Agent in cash, for the account of the Lenders or Holders monthly, in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. |
(a) In the event Borrower makes any prepayment of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 6.03, the Commitment of each Lender shall, in accordance with Section 6.03, be permanently reduced by the amount of such prepayment received by such Lender; provided, however, that the Total Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time. |
(b) Any reduction in the Commitments resulting from any prepayment of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 6.03, shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. |
2.09 Optional Prepayment; Permitted Redemptions of Revolving Notes. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing (or redeem any corresponding Revolving Note), in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than any applicable Exit Payment) upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent before 10:00 a.m., New York City time; provided, however, that (i) each partial |
prepayment or redemption shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $1,000,000 or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding and each prepayment (other than a prepayment made in connection with a Deleveraging Transaction, in which case, the Loans shall be applied in accordance with the terms of such Deleveraging Transaction) shall be applied at the direction of the Borrower (x) ratably against the Revolving Loans and/or (y) against the VPC Loans (but, subject to the penultimate sentence of clause (t) of Article VII hereof, ratably as to all Loans to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and (ii) for the absence of doubt, any prepayment of Revolving Loans prior to September 6, 2020 shall be accompanied by the payment of the corresponding Exit Payment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender, if applicable, and Holder, as well as the Bondholder Designee, of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s or Holder’s ratable portion of such prepayment (in the case of Revolving Loans, based on such Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage in respect of the Total Commitment or, with respect to any Holder, in an amount to be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Subject to Section 2.15(a), such prepayments shall be paid to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or Holders, as the case may be, in accordance with, its ratable share (in respect of Revolving Loans, based on such Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage in respect of the Total Commitment) or, for a Holder, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable unless conditioned upon a refinancing, in which case it shall still be subject to Section 2.12, and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.09 shall be subject to Section 2.12. All prepayments under this Section 2.09(a) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to the date of payment, as well as any Exit Payment with respect thereto. |
(a) The Borrower may, at its option, refinance and repay all of the outstanding Obligations (including Loan Document Obligations) in respect of the Loans (or any corresponding Revolving Notes issued in connection therewith) by electing to pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders (or Holders, as the case may be), the Permitted Redemption Amount on the Permitted Redemption Date, by repaying such Obligations in full (and by redeeming the Revolving Notes in whole) and upon a repayment of such Obligations in full (and a redemption of all then outstanding Revolving Notes in whole), the Commitment of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be terminated (a “Permitted Redemption”). On or prior to the date which is the fifth (5th) calendar day prior to a proposed Permitted Redemption Date, the Borrower shall deliver written notice (the “Permitted Redemption Notice”) to the Administrative Agent stating (i) that the Borrower elects to repay all of the outstanding Obligations (including Loan Document Obligations) in respect of the Loans (and redeem the Revolving Notes in whole) pursuant to a Permitted Redemption and (ii) the proposed Permitted Redemption Date. A Permitted Redemption Notice delivered pursuant to this subsection shall be irrevocable unless conditioned upon a refinancing, in which case it shall still be subject to Section 2.12, and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. If the Borrower elects to repay the Obligations in respect of the Loans in full and redeem Revolving Notes in whole pursuant to a Permitted Redemption under this Section 2.09(b), then the applicable Permitted Redemption Amount which is to be paid to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders (and Holders, as the case may be), on the applicable Permitted Redemption Date shall be paid (and redeemed, as the case may be) by the Borrower on such Permitted Redemption Date, and the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders (and the Holders, as the case may be), on such Permitted Redemption Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the applicable Permitted Redemption Amount. |
termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Borrowings, which shall include the principal of the Loans (including any Revolving Notes issued in connection therewith) outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees, accrued and unpaid Late Charges, the accrued and unpaid Exit Payment, if applicable, and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, provided, that for the purposes of this clause (i), the Exit Payment shall be calculated immediately prior to the applicable redemption or prepayment of all Loans or outstanding Revolving Notes as the product of (a) the applicable Exit Payment rate as set forth herein multiplied by (b) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans or Revolving Notes in respect of the Revolving Loans being repaid or prepaid or redeemed, provided, further, that in the event of a redemption or prepayment where the outstanding principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans or unredeemed Revolving Notes at the time of such calculation is less than the Total Commitment then in effect, the outstanding principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans or unredeemed Revolving Notes shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the Total Commitment then in effect (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall be the amount of the Total Commitment without giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Commitments associated with any such prepayment or redemption), (ii) if, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Commitments in accordance with Section 2.09(b) or at any other time, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Commitment, then the Borrower shall, no later than three (3) Business Days after the date of such reduction or after such other time, repay or prepay Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess and (iii) the Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use all proceeds from loans under the SPV II Notes that are in excess of $63,500,000 to prepay the VPC Loan to the extent of such excess. For avoidance of doubt, there shall be an Exit Payment payable on the amount of the Revolving Loans repaid (or Revolving Notes redeemed) in accordance with this Section 2.10(a) or Section 6.03. |
(a) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.10, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of such prepayment (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree, in its reasonable discretion). Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. Except as provided in Section 2.10(a) and the penultimate sentence of clause (t) of Article VII hereof, all prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.10 shall be applied ratably against all Loans (based on the outstanding principal amount thereof) subject to Section 2.12, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to the date of payment and, for avoidance of doubt, shall additionally include any applicable Exit Payment in respect of Revolving Loans only. |
(b) [reserved]. |
(c) All mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or Holders, and applied to the Loans (or Revolving Notes issued in connection therewith) in accordance with Section 2.10(b). Concurrently with each mandatory prepayment of a Revolving Loan made pursuant to Section 2.10(b) or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Article VII(g) or (h), the Commitment of each Lender shall permanently be reduced by the amount of such prepayment and the Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or Holders the Exit Payment in respect of the Revolving Loans or Revolving Notes repaid or redeemed in connection with such mandatory prepayment. |
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets or liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; |
(ii) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.16 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or |
(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; |
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.16 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender).
(d) Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.16 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender). |
(e) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.11 and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. |
(f) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). |
payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. |
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and |
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender or Holder as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). |
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or Holder were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation, but only to the extent that such consent does not increase the aggregate liability of the Borrower.
but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after such payment has been made, subject to Section 2.11(c), Administrative Agent will cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees (other than amounts payable to Administrative Agent to reimburse Administrative Agent for fees and expenses payable solely to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or expenses payable to Administrative Agent, Holders and Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in like funds relating to the payment of any such other amounts payable to Lenders or Holders. Borrowers’ obligations to Lenders and Holders with respect to such payment shall be discharged by making such payments to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) or, if not timely paid or any Event of Default or Default then exists, may be added to the principal amount of the Loans outstanding. Any amount due under the Loan Documents (other than principal and interest, if the same are already accruing interest at the Default Rate), which is not paid within three (3) Business Days after such amounts are due shall result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Borrower in an amount equal to accrued interest at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due until the same is paid in full in cash (“Late Charge”). Such Late Charge shall continue to accrue post-petition in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. |
(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make a Lender’s ratable share pursuant to Section 2.02 available to the Borrower on a proposed date of any Borrowing unless the Administrative Agent has received such Lender’s funds for such full share amount at least two (2) Business Days prior to such date of Borrowing or, in the case of the Borrowing on the Closing Date, on the Closing Date. |
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary herein, if the Lenders shall fail to purchase an additional issuance of Revolving Notes by the Borrower after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 2.02 and provided that all conditions of such funding set forth in Article IV shall have been satisfied at the time thereof (a “Qualified Funding Failure”), then the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable upon at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to consummate a Permitted Redemption of the Revolving Notes (in whole and not in part) at a price equal to the applicable Permitted Redemption Amount excluding the Exit Payment, which Permitted Redemption shall otherwise be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.09(b) hereof; provided, that such right to consummate a Permitted Redemption of the Revolving Notes (in whole and not in part) at a price equal to the Permitted Redemption Amount excluding the Exit Payment shall expire upon (x) written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, given no later than ten (10) calendar days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Borrower’s notice of redemption under this Section 2.15(b)(ii) stating that the Lenders are thereafter willing and able to purchase additional Revolving Notes issued by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.02 and (y) provided that all conditions of such purchases set forth in Article IV shall be satisfied at the time of such purchase, the purchase by the applicable Lenders within such ten (10) calendar day period of such additional Revolving Notes the Lenders initially failed to purchase. For purposes of clarification, prior to the expiration of the ten (10) calendar day notice of purchase pursuant to this Section 2.15(b)(ii), (x) the Administrative Agent may deliver notice to the Borrower that the Lenders are willing and able to purchase such Revolving Notes and (y) provided that all conditions of such purchases set forth in Article 4 shall have been satisfied at the time of such purchase, the applicable Lenders will purchase such Revolving Notes, whereupon such right to consummate a Permitted Redemption of the Revolving Notes at a price equal to the Permitted Redemption Amount excluding the Exit Payment shall automatically terminate, but the Borrower shall at all times thereafter retain the right to consummate a Permitted Redemption of the Revolving Notes at a price equal to the applicable Permitted Redemption Amount including the Exit Payment (if applicable), which Permitted Redemption of the Revolving Notes shall otherwise be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15(b) hereof. The provisions of this Section |
2.15(b)(ii) set forth the exclusive rights and remedies of the Loan Parties to seek or obtain damages or any other remedy or relief from the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any Qualified Funding Failure. |
(b) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. With respect to any payment due from Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make payment to the account of the Lenders unless the Administrative Agent has received funds from the Borrower for such amounts due and such amounts shall be disbursed to the Lenders within two (2) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s receipt of such amounts due. |
(a) Payments of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. |
(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Holder, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Holder, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, which fees, charges and disbursements of counsel shall be on the same terms and subject to the same limitations as provided in Section 9.04(b), provided that successful recovery of such fees, charges and disbursements of counsel pursuant to this Section 2.16(c) by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Holder shall preclude such Administrative Agent or such Lender or Holder from receiving duplicative indemnification for these same fees, charges or disbursements of counsel under Section 9.04(b) of this Agreement) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than penalties, interest and expenses to the extent solely and directly attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, of such Administrative Agent or Lender or Holder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or Holder (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Holder, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. |
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower or |
such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. |
(d) Status of Lenders and Holders. Any Lender or Holder that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender or Holder, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Holder is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s or Holder’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Holder to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Holder; provided, however, that if any Lender or Holder fails to comply with the documentation requirements of this Section 2.16(e), any Taxes or increase in Taxes resulting solely and directly from such failure shall be considered Excluded Taxes, but only to the extent that such resulting Taxes would not constitute Indemnified Taxes but for the operation of this sentence. |
(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, each Lender or Holder shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender or Holder becomes a Lender or Holder, respectively, under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Lender or Holder is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable and to the extent such Lender or Holder is legally entitled to do so: |
(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9,
(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,
(iii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(iv) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,
(v) in the case of a payment made to a Lender or Holder under this Agreement or any Loan Document that would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Holder were to fail to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable, or any successor provisions thereof), such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender or Holder has or has not complied with such Lender’s or Holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment,
(vi) in the case of a Foreign Lender or Foreign Holder claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender or Foreign Holder is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or
(vii) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Holder shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.16(e). Each Lender and Holder agrees that if any form or certification previously delivered by such Lender or Holder pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender or Holder shall, on or before the date on which such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate, update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s or Holder’s legal inability to do so.
(e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or a Holder determines, in its sole discretion and good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Holder, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Holder, as applicable, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Holder, as applicable, in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Holder, as applicable, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Holder to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. |
(f) Cooperation. If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid under this Section 2.16, the relevant Lender or Holder or the Administrative Agent, if reasonably requested by the Borrower in writing, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower at the Borrower’s expense in challenging such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. Nothing in this Section 2.16(g) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to promptly pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16. |
(a) Replacement of Lenders or Holders. If any Lender or Holder requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or Holder or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Holder pursuant to Section 2.16 and, in each case, such Lender or Holder has declined or is unable to designate a different lending or funding office in accordance with Section 2.17(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or Holder and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or Holder to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.03), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: |
(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.03; |
(ii) such Lender or Holder shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans or Revolving Notes, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.12) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); |
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; |
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and |
(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. |
A Lender or Holder shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or Holder or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted. |
(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.05 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Revolving Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. |
(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). |
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the Closing Date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. |
The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Bondholder Designee, each of the Lenders with a Commitment and Holders of Revolving Loans and, until the VPC Loan Termination Date, VPC, that:

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.01: |
(i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (i) through (xvii) of the preceding paragraph or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6.01, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, will classify, and may later reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 6.01; provided that (x) all Indebtedness outstanding under this Agreement will be treated as incurred under clause (i) of the preceding paragraph and (y) the |
Borrower shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (i) ; and |
(ii) at the time of incurrence, the Borrower will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Sections 6.01(a) and 6.01(b). |
(c) Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 6.01. |
(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of accrued interest, fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing. |
(e) The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. |
(f) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Secured Obligations or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be. |
(g) For the purposes of this Section 6.01, (i) unsecured Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured and (ii) Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral. |
(i) in the case of Subject Liens on any Collateral, any Subject Lien, if such Subject Lien expressly has Junior Lien Priority on the Collateral relative to the Secured Obligations; or |
(ii) in the case of Subject Liens on any other asset or property, any Subject Lien, if the Secured Obligations are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case |
such Subject Lien secures any Subordinated Indebtedness) the Obligations secured by such Subject Lien. |
(h) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 6.02(a) may provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Subject Lien that gave rise to the obligation to so secure the Bank Obligations (which release and discharge in the case of any sale of any such asset or property shall not affect any Lien that the Collateral Agent may otherwise have on the proceeds from such sale). |
(i) Any reference to a “Permitted Lien” is not intended to subordinate or postpone, and shall not be interpreted as subordinating or postponing, or as any agreement to subordinate or postpone, any Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral. |
6.03 Asset Sales. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate, directly or indirectly, an Asset Sale, unless: |
(i) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (measured at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; |
(ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; and |
(iii) to the extent that any consideration received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale (including, for avoidance of doubt, any Designated Non-cash Consideration and any assets received in a Permitted Asset Swap) consists of assets of the type that would constitute Collateral, such assets, including the assets of any Person that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor as a result of such transaction, are as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 90 days) after their acquisition added to the Collateral. |
Within five Business Days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale to prepay Loans (or any corresponding Revolving Notes) and correspondingly reduce any outstanding Commitments in accordance with Sections 2.08 and 2.10, provided that, to the extent such Net Proceeds are not from Asset Sales of Collateral, the Borrower may, alternatively, at its option, permanently reduce Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Borrower, a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary.
(j) For purposes of this Section 6.03, the following are deemed to be cash or Cash Equivalents: |
(i) any liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto or, if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Borrower) of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets (or are otherwise extinguished in connection with the transactions relating to such Asset Sale) and for which the Borrower and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing; |
(ii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale; and |
(iii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $15,000,000 at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value. |
(a) No Subsidiary Guarantor will, and the Borrower will not permit any such Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions other than where such consolidation, amalgamation or merger with or into or winding up into, or sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposal of all or substantially all of its properties or assets is with or to, as applicable, another Subsidiary Guarantor. |
6.05 Restricted Payments. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: |

(a)dividends, payments or distributions by the Borrower payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower; or

(a)Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under clause (vii) or (viii) of Section 6.01(b);
(b)the purchase, repurchase or other acquisition of any Senior Secured Notes, unsecured Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within three business days of the date of purchase, repurchase or acquisition; or

(IV)make any Restricted Investment

(s) any “Event of Default” under (i) the New Lender Notes, or any transaction or event shall have occurred that has caused the issuer of the New Lender Notes to be different from the SPV Lender hereunder or (ii) the SPV II Notes; or |
(t) then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) of this Article VII), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Bondholder Designee, shall, in each case by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans (including any Revolving Notes issued in connection therewith) so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees, accrued and unpaid Late Charges, accrued and unpaid Exit Payment (if any), and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event with respect to an Event of Default described in paragraph (g) or (h) of this Article VII, the Exit Payment will be due and payable with respect to the entire principal amount of the Loans then outstanding (regardless of whether the Loans are subsequently repaid, restructured or otherwise treated), the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees, accrued and unpaid Late Charges, accrued and unpaid Exit Payment (if any), and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding. The parties hereto agree that no party may exercise rights and remedies during an Event of Default except for the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Bondholder Designee or the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Agreement acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent which direction shall come from, or shall be at the direction of, the Bondholder Designee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on or before December 15, 2018, (x) no Deleveraging Transaction has been consummated, (y) the VPC Loan and all related Bank Obligations owing to VPC have not been paid in full in cash, and (z) the Administrative Agent or the |
Bondholder Designee has not directed the Collateral Agent to take enforcement action with respect to all or a material portion of the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Agreement, then the VPC Loan and all related Bank Obligations owing to VPC shall be afforded the waterfall priority set forth in category “SECOND” in Section 9.16. For avoidance of doubt, in all circumstances, (A) VPC shall have no right or ability to exercise, or direct the exercise of, any default-related rights and remedies, and (B) other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the VPC Loan and all related Bank Obligations owing to VPC shall remain pari passu with all other Bank Obligations set forth in category “THIRD in Section 9.16. |
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Revolving Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to the Maturity Date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law or pursuant to the preceding provisions)), the Exit Payment applicable with respect to voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans will also be due and payable as though the Revolving Loans were voluntarily prepaid and shall constitute part of the Loan Document Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Exit Payment above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by the Lender (other than VPC) as the result of such acceleration and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Exit Payment shall also be payable in the event the Revolving Loans are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE EXIT PAYMENT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Exit Payment is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Exit Payment shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lender (other than VPC) and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Exit Payment; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Article. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Exit Payment to the Lenders (other than VPC) as herein described is a material inducement to such Lenders entering into this Agreement and the Loan Documents and providing the Revolving Loans.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Bondholder Designee) shall have the right to require the Borrower or any other Loan Party to replace the existing Servicer of the applicable Loan Receivables with the Backup Servicer, including, without limitation, to exercise any rights under the Backup Servicing Agreement with respect thereto.
party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. |
(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; |
(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Bondholder Designee (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Holders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and |
(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. |
(u) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Bondholder Designee (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Holders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.07), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender or Holder. |
(v) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. |
(a) The Bondholder Designee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and the Person serving as Administrative Agent remove such Person as Administrative Agent and appoint a successor only in the event Administrative Agent or its assets are taken over by any state or federal agency having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent or its assets. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Bondholder Designee and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Bondholder Designee) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. |
(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender or Holder directly, until such time, if any, as the Bondholder Designee appoints a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. |
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and Revolving Notes and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Holders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, Holders and the Administrative |
Agent and their respective agents, sub-agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, Holders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 9.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and |
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; |
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender or Holder to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or Holders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 9.04.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Bondholder Designee will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.09(a).
No Bank Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Bank Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) on behalf of the Bank Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof
(a) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or Holders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. |
For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contrary in any Loan Document with respect to the responsibilities of the Administrative Agent, in the event of inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms in this Agreement shall prevail. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for the preparation, filing or recording of any instrument, document or financing statement or for the perfection or maintenance of any security interest created hereunder. None of the provisions in any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefore; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.
(c) Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. |
(d) Platform. |
(i) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting |
the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar and industry recognized electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). |
(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” shall mean, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that any Loan Party provides to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent, any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section 9.01, including through the Platform. |
The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the e-mail address referred to in this paragraph below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, that it will, or will cause the Subsidiaries to, provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an e-mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause the Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner otherwise specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.13); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor” and shall post the same only on such portion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (A) the Loan Documents and (B) notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Facilities.
Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.
The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
(a) Assignments by Lenders and Holders. Any Lender or Holder may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans or Revolving Notes at the time owing to it); provided that (1) no such assignment may be made without the prior written consent of the Bondholder Designee (other than an assignment made pursuant to clauses (b)(iii)(A)(z)(i)-(iii) hereof) and (2) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: |
(i) Minimum Amounts. |
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans or Revolving Notes at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 9.03 in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or Holder, an Affiliate of a Lender or Holder or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and |
(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section 9.03, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Note or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans or Revolving Notes of the assigning Lender or Holder, as the case may be, subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default of the type described in paragraph (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). |
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s or Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment or Revolving Note assigned. |
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.03 and, in addition: |
(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (y) the assignment is to a Person approved in writing by the Bondholder Designee or (z) the assignment is by (i) a Lender to a Person that is an Affiliate of such Lender, (ii) a Holder to a Person that is an Affiliate of such Holder or (iii) a Lender or Holder to a Person that is an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or Holder; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof. Such permitted assignee shall be deemed to be the Lender (or, as provided below, a Holder) hereunder with respect to such assigned rights and obligations, and the Loan Parties shall ensure that such transferee is registered as a Lender or Holder, as applicable, and that any Liens on the Collateral provided for in the Collateral Agreement shall be for the benefit of such Lender or such Holder (as well as the other Holders of Revolving Notes and Lenders); and |
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for any assignment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Person approved in writing by the Bondholder Designee, a Lender or Holder, is by a Lender to a Person that is not an Affiliate of such Lender, is by a Holder to a Person that is not an Affiliate of such Holder, or is to a Person that is not an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or Holder. |
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption. The assignee, if it is not a Lender or Holder, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to support such assignee’s position that no withholding is required in respect of amount received hereunder. Promptly (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days) after demand by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent in exchange for any surrendered Revolving Note or Revolving Notes (which the assigning Lender or Holder agrees to promptly deliver to Borrower) a new Revolving Note or Revolving Notes to the assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and, if the assigning Lender or Holder has retained a Commitment hereunder, a new Revolving Note or Revolving Notes to the assigning Lender or Holder in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Revolving Note or Revolving Notes shall re-evidence the indebtedness outstanding under the old Revolving Notes or Revolving Notes and shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Revolving Note or Revolving Notes and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the Revolving Note or Revolving Notes subject to such assignments. For purposes of clarification, a Lender may assign (i) all or a portion of such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Notes (and its corresponding rights and obligations hereunder in connection therewith) with or without an assignment of all or a portion of such Lender’s portion of the Total Commitment or (ii) any current or future commitment, right or obligation to make any additional Loans under such Revolving Notes or this Agreement or to purchase any Revolving Notes or to lend or relend any amount (collectively, the “Excluded Rights and Obligations”). Any assignee of all or a portion of a Lender’s or a Holder’s outstanding Revolving Notes (and its corresponding rights and obligations hereunder in connection therewith) who shall not have also been assigned all or a portion of such Lender’s Commitment and other Excluded Rights and Obligations (such assignment, a “Principal Only Assignment”), shall be deemed a “Holder” and not a “Lender” hereunder, and all or such portion of the Revolving Notes held by such Lender that shall have been assigned to such Holder pursuant to the Principal Only Assignment shall be evidenced by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and, if requested by such Holder, a Revolving Note payable to such Holder in an amount equal to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Notes as shall have been assigned to such Holder pursuant to such Principal Only Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, any assignee of a Principal Only Assignment shall have no obligation to purchase any additional Revolving Notes. For purposes of determining whether the Borrower has reached the Total Commitment hereunder, any principal amount of Revolving Notes outstanding with respect to a Principal Only Assignment shall be included in such determination. In connection with any permitted assignment by a Holder of some or all of its rights and obligations hereunder, upon the request of such Holder, the Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the assignee thereof either (i) a letter from outside legal counsel to the Borrower indicating that it may rely upon the opinion letter delivered by it on the Closing Date or (ii) an opinion from other legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the assignee to the effect of such opinion letter, in either case dated on or before the effective date of such assignment. |
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) VPC (other than an |
assignment made to Affiliates and Approved Funds of VPC pursuant to clauses (b)(iii)(A)(z)(i)-(iii) hereof), or (C) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (C). |
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person). |
(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Revolving Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. |
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 9.03, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Holder under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender or Holder thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s or Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.16 (subject to the requirements of Section 2.16) and 9.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender or Holder of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender or Holder of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 9.03.
(b) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and/or Holders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (including stated interest) of the Loans and Revolving Notes owing to, each Lender and/or Holder pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Holders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender or Holder hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. |
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender or Holder, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 9.03(c). |
(c) Participations. Any Lender or Holder may at any time, with the prior written consent of each of the Administrative Agent and the Bondholder Designee and without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s or Holder’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including, to the extent applicable, all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it and all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Note or Revolving Notes held by it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s or Holder’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender or Holder shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender or Holder shall remain the holder of any such Revolving Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender or Holder in connection with such Lender’s or Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) such Lender or Holder shall not transfer, grant, assign or sell any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 2.15(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). |
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender or Holder sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender or Holder shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, except as may otherwise be provided in the operative documentation governing such participation, the consent of such Participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s or Holder’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender or Holder may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations (including the Loan Document Obligations. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11(a) to the same extent as if it were a Lender or Holder and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.03; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.11(b), 2.11(c) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.03 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender or Holder would have been entitled to receive except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.05 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender or Holder that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans, Revolving Notes or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender or Holder shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(d) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 and 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless (if no Default or Event of Default |
is outstanding) the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the grant of such participation and then only to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender. |
(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender or Holder (other than VPC) may, upon receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Bondholder Designee, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender or Holder, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender or Holder from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender or Holder as a party hereto. The Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Bondholder Designee) and the Bondholder Designee each consents to any pledge or assignment of a security interest by the SPV Lender (and its successors and assigns) of its interests and rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. |
(f) Any Lender, Holder or Participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.03, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender or Holder by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders and Holders pursuant to Section 9.13. |
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and in accordance with 9.03(a), any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may, only upon receiving the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Bondholder Designee, grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Bondholder Designee and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement, and no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.03, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Bondholder Designee and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower, |
Administrative Agent and the Bondholder Designee) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. |
(h) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Bondholder Designee and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. |
(i) Each Lender and each Holder agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower, the Bondholder Designee and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment or sell a participation hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Borrowing, Revolving Note or other Obligation under the securities laws of the United States of America or of any jurisdiction. |
(a) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent, the Bondholder Designee, each Lender, each Holder and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel to the Indemnitees, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, one special counsel in each relevant specialty and, in the event of any actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for each Person subject to such conflict), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower or any other Loan Party) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or |
delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions, the Concurrent Debt Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) are Taxes and reasonable expenses for which the Borrower or any Loan Party has indemnified an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 2.16(c). |
(b) Reimbursement by Lenders and Holders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.04 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender and Holder severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent, or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s or Holder’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender or Holder); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Collateral Agent in connection with such capacity. |
(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. |
(d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 9.04 shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. |
(e) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.04 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder. |
Holder and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, Holder or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or Holder or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Holder or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or Holder different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Holder and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, Holder or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Holder agrees to notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Bondholder Designee promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. |
9.06 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York (without regard to principles of conflict of laws). |
(a) Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, the Bondholder Designee, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. |
(b) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.06. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably |
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. |
(c) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. |
(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Bondholder Designee and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that, subject to the last sentence of this clause (b), no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest or Exit Payment on any Loan or Revolving Note (it being agreed that mandatory prepayments or redemptions pursuant to Section 2.10 may be postponed, delayed, reduced, waived or modified with the consent of the Bondholder Designee), or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or Revolving Note (it being agreed that waiver of the Default Rate shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Bondholder Designee), without the prior written consent of each Lender or Holder directly affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.03(h) without the written consent of such SPC and (iv) amend any provision hereof requiring the Bondholder Designee or a specific number or percentage of Lenders to amend or consent to any action, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender or the Bondholder Designee, as applicable; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Bondholder Designee or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Bondholder Designee, if applicable the Lenders, or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including this clause (b)) to the contrary, the Lenders agree that the Bondholder Designee may agree, on behalf of all Lenders (other than VPC), to any waiver, amendment or modification to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that modifies the Loan Document Obligations (other than the VPC Loan) in any manner (including, without limitation, the manner of satisfaction of such Loan Document Obligations) determined by the Bondholder Designee so long as such treatment is ratable as to all such Lenders (other than VPC). |
(b) The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative or manifest errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender or the Bondholder Designee; provided, however, that no such amendment shall become |
effective until the fifth Business Day after it has been delivered to the Bondholder Designee and the Lenders or otherwise posted for their attention on the Platform, and then only if the Bondholder Designee or, if applicable, the Lenders, have not objected in writing thereto within such five Business Day period. |
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender hereunder hereby irrevocably appoints the Bondholder Designee and any successor as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to take any action, exercise any right or remedy or provide any consent or waiver under the Loan Documents; provided, that VPC shall retain consent rights over any action that directly and adversely affects VPC expressly described in Section 9.07(b)(i) or that directly and adversely affects VPC with respect to (x) the waterfall treatment of the VPC Loan under Section 9.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the penultimate sentence of clause (t) of Article VII hereof), (y) any provision or definition herein that provides for, contemplates or requires the payment of the VPC Loan and any other related Bank Obligations owing to VPC to be paid in cash and/or in full and (z) the provisions of Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 2.13 relating to the treatment, application and allocation of prepayments, or prepayments required to be made thereunder, in each case, in respect of the VPC Loan. It is further agreed that no Lender may take any action, exercise any right or remedy or provide any consent or waiver under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Bondholder Designee except as set forth with respect to VPC in clause (t) of Article VII herein. |
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. |
(a) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. |
For purposes of this Section 9.13, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.13 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under any other Loan Document) and the Bondholder Designee in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent or the Bondholder Designee hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the VPC Loan and all related Bank Obligations owing to VPC solely to the extent required under the penultimate sentence of clause (t) of Article VII hereof; and

The Administrative Agent shall apply any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement promptly after receipt thereof.
