make any Advance on behalf of a Lender if the Agent has received
prior notice
from such Lender that it will not make such Revolving Loan).
If the Agent does
not receive payment from such Lender by the next Business Day
after the date of
any Advance, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such Advance,
with interest
thereon at the rate then applicable to the Advance, on demand,
from the
Borrowers, without prejudice to the Agent's and the Borrowers'
rights against
any such non-advancing Lender. If such Lender pays the Agent
the amount herein
required with interest at the overnight Federal Funds Rate before
the Agent has
recovered from the Borrowers, such Lender shall be entitled to
the interest
payable by the Borrowers with respect to the Advance in question
accruing from
the date the Agent made such Advance.
(d) Frequency
and Amount of Borrowings. Until the Business Day immediately prior to the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or thirty (30) Business Days
prior to the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date for a LIBOR Rate Advance), Borrowers
may seek a
disbursement under the Revolving Facility at any time and from
time to time and
in any amount; provided, however, that any request for an Advance
must be in the
minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and in multiples of $100,000
above the
minimum principal amount.
(e) Repayment
of Principal. Borrowers promise to pay to Lenders the outstanding principal
of Advances under the Revolving Line of Credit in full upon the
earliest to
occur of (i) termination of this Agreement, (ii) acceleration
of the time for
payment of the Indebtedness pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii)
the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
any amounts
borrowed under the Revolving Line of Credit may be voluntarily
prepaid and any
amounts so prepaid may be reborrowed, up to the amount available
under Section
2.1(b) above at the time of such borrowing, until the Business
Day immediately
prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or thirty (30) Business
Days prior
to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date for a LIBOR Rate Advance).
Borrowers shall
notify Lender by 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day preceding the
Business Day (or
three (3) Business Days preceding such date for a LIBOR Rate
Advance) of any
prepayment of any amounts under the Revolving Line of
Credit.
15
(f) Overadvances.
During the term of the Revolving Facility, Borrowers shall pay
to Agent such
amounts as are necessary so that the sum of the outstanding principal
balance of
the Revolving Credit Outstandings and the Letter of Credit Outstandings
in the
aggregate at any time does not exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment at
such time. Borrowers shall pay such amounts within two (2) Business
Days after
the earlier of demand by Agent and the date Borrower learns of
any such
excess.
(g) Continuation
and Conversion of Interest Rate. If no Borrowing Notice has been submitted
to Agent not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the end
of any Interest
Period on a LIBOR Rate Advance (which shall set forth the new
Interest Period or
state that the LIBOR Rate Advance is being converted to a Base
Rate Advance),
the LIBOR Rate Advance then maturing shall be automatically continued
at the
then current LIBOR Rate for an additional Interest Period equal
to the expired
Interest Period; provided, however, that if the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date
would fall within such subsequent Interest Period or such Interest
Period is not
available for any other reason, the LIBOR Rate Advance then maturing
shall be
automatically converted to a Base Rate Advance. At any time at
least thirty (30)
days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, Borrowers may
request to
convert a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance upon submission
of a
Borrowing Notice to Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior
to the
effectiveness of such conversion.
(h) Reductions.
The Borrowers shall, by notice from an Authorized Representative,
have the right
from time to time upon not less than three (3) Business Days'
written notice to
the Agent, effective upon receipt, to reduce the Total Revolving
Credit
Commitment. The Agent shall give each Lender, within one (1)
Business Day of
receipt of such notice, telefacsimile notice or telephonic notice
(confirmed in
writing) of such reduction. Each such reduction shall be in the
aggregate amount
of the lesser of (x) at least $1,000,000 or (y) the entire remaining
Total
Revolving Credit Commitment, and shall permanently reduce the
Total Revolving
Credit Commitment. Each reduction of the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment shall
be accompanied by payment to the extent that the principal amount
of Revolving
Credit Outstandings plus Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds
the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment as reduced under this Section
2.1(h).
2.2
|
TERM
LOAN.
|
(a) Amount.
Subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
on the
First Closing Date, the Lenders agree to loan to Borrowers an
aggregate amount
equal to the Pre-Acquisition Term Loan Amount, which shall be
evidenced by
promissory notes in favor of each Lender in the form of Exhibit C ("Term
Note"). Upon consummation of the Acquisition Agreement and subject
to the other
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Second Closing Date,
the Lenders agree to loan to Borrowers an aggregate amount equal
to the
Acquisition Term Loan Amount, which shall be evidenced by Term
Notes in favor of
each Lender. In the event the conditions to funding the Acquisition
Term Loan
Amount are not met prior to December 31, 2007, the Lenders obligation
to fund
the Acquisition Term Loan Amount shall terminate and the Term
Loan shall consist
only of the Pre-Acquisition Term Loan Amount. No amounts repaid
by Borrowers
under the Term Loan may be reborrowed.
16
(b) Commitment.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender
severally agrees to participate on a pro rata basis as to each
Term Loan
determined by
such
Lender's Applicable Commitment Percentage.
(i) Repayment
of Principal. Borrowers promise to pay to Lenders the outstanding principal
of the Term Loan as follows: (A) until the Term Loan Maturity
Date, quarterly
payments in the amount of, if the Second Closing Date occurs,
$1,785,000.00 and,
if the Second Closing Date does not occur, $892,500.00, which
payments shall be
due and payable on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter
with the first
such payment being due on June 30, 2008, and (B) in full upon
the earliest to
occur of (1) termination of this Agreement, (2) acceleration
of the time for
payment of the Indebtedness pursuant to this Agreement or (3)
the Term Loan
Maturity Date. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, any
amounts
outstanding under the Term Loan may be voluntarily prepaid. Borrowers
shall
notify Agent by 1:00 P.M. (Denver, Colorado time) on the Business
Day prior to
the Business Day for such prepayment of any prepayment of any
portion of the
Term Loan.
(ii) Mandatory
Prepayments. No later than 180 days after the receipt of net proceeds
from
the sale or other disposition of any assets of a Borrower constituting
Collateral (other than sale of inventory in the ordinary course
of business),
the Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan in the inverse order
of the maturity
thereof in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds
that remain
after deducting any amount reinvested in replacement assets within
180 days
after receipt of such net proceeds. For purposes of this section,
"net proceeds"
shall mean all proceeds received from the disposition of such
assets less any
applicable taxes and reasonable costs of such disposition.
(c) Interest
Option. On each of the First Closing Date and the Second Closing
Date,
Borrowers shall choose to have the Term Loan accrue interest
as a Base Rate Loan
or a LIBOR Rate Loan (which, if chosen, also requires Borrowers
to choose an
Interest Period). In the case of the LIBOR Rate Loan, upon the
expiration of an
Interest Period, in the absence of a new Interest Period Notice
submitted to
Agent not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the end
of such Interest
Period (which shall set forth the new Interest Period or state
that the LIBOR
Rate Loan is being converted to a Base Rate Loan), the LIBOR
Rate Loan then
maturing shall be automatically continued at the then current
LIBOR Rate for an
additional Interest Period equal to the expired Interest Period;
provided,
however, that if the Term Loan Maturity Date would fall within
such subsequent
Interest Period, the LIBOR Rate Loan then maturing shall be automatically
converted to a Base Rate Loan. At any time prior to the Term
Loan Maturity Date,
Borrowers may request to convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR
Rate Loan upon
submission of a LIBOR Rate Notice to Agent at least three (3)
Business Days
prior to the effectiveness of such conversion.

AMOUNT.
|
As
part
of the Revolving Facility, Borrowers may, subject to the terms
and conditions of
this Agreement, request Letters of Credit to be issued in an
amount not to
exceed the Total Letter of Credit Commitment and in the event
and to the extent
the Issuing Bank issues a Letter of Credit on behalf of a Borrower,
the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment shall be considered utilized by the
amount of such
Letter of Credit. Amounts drawn under any Letter of Credit and
honored by the
Issuing Bank shall become an Advance hereunder in such amount,
at such time and
subject to the terms of this Agreement, whether or not any Event
of Default has
occurred. All Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement shall
reduce the
amount available under the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.
At no time shall
the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings exceed
the Total Letter of
Credit Commitment; provided, however, that upon expiration or
termination of any
Letter of Credit, the Total Letter of Credit Outstandings shall
be reduced and
the Issuing Bank may determine to issue, or cause to be issued,
additional
Letters of Credit provided that, in connection with any such
additional Letter
of Credit, the Total Letter of Credit Commitment shall not be
exceeded and the
other terms and conditions set forth herein have been satisfied.
The Issuing
Bank shall not be obligated to issue Letters of Credit with an
expiration date
that extends beyond the earlier of (a) 364 days after the date
of issuance for
standby letters of credit or 180 days after the date of issuance
for trade and
commercial letters of credit, and (b) fifteen (15) days prior
to the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date. All of the Issuing Bank's terms and conditions
for the
issuance of a Letter of Credit must also be complied with by
Borrowers prior to
any such issuance.

INTEREST,
FEES AND PAYMENT CONVENTIONS
4.1
|
PROMISE
TO PAY INTEREST.
|
(a) Interest.
Borrowers agree to pay interest on the Revolving Credit Outstandings
and the
Term Loans from time to time as provided herein. The unpaid principal
balance of
each Base Rate Advance and of each Base Rate Loan will bear interest
at an
annual rate equal to the Base Rate. The unpaid principal balance
of each LIBOR
Rate Advance and of each LIBOR Rate Loan will bear interest at
an annual rate
equal to the LIBOR Rate.
(b) Interest
Payments.
(i) Revolving
Facility. Interest on Base Rate Advances shall be due and payable
monthly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each month. Interest on LIBOR
Rate Advances
shall be due and payable in arrears at the end of the applicable

(ii) Term
Facility. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be due and payable monthly
in
arrears on the last Business Day of each month. Interest on LIBOR
Rate Loans

(c) Default
Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Sections
4.1(a)
and 4.1(b) and the payment dates specified herein, effective
immediately upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
the principal
balance, and accrued interest thereon as of such date, of all
outstanding
Revolving Loans and the Term Loans shall to the extent permitted
by applicable
law bear interest payable at the Default Rate. In addition, all
other amounts
due Agent or the Lenders (whether directly or for reimbursement)
under this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, if not paid
when due or, in
the event no time period is expressed, if not paid within five
(5) days after
written notice from Agent that the same has become due, shall
thereafter bear
interest at the Default Rate. Finally, any amount due (i) on
the Revolving
Facility on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date that is not then
paid and (ii) on
the Term Loans on the Term Loan Maturity Date that are not then
paid shall also
bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate.
(d) Interest
Rate Swaps. Borrowers shall have the right to enter into fixed rate
interest
rate swaps with any Lender or any other financial institution.
Any obligations
of a Borrower to a Lender under an interest rate swap shall be

4.2
|
PROMISE
TO PAY FEES.
|
(a) Commitment
Fee. For the period beginning on the First Closing Date and
ending on the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to
the Agent, for the
pro rata benefit of the Lenders, based on their Applicable Commitment
Percentages, a commitment fee in the amount of the Applicable
Margin on the
average daily unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit.
Usage on the
Revolving Line of Credit will equal the sum of Revolving Credit
Outstandings and
Letter of Credit Outstandings. Such fees shall be due and payable
monthly in
arrears on the first day of each month beginning on the first
day of the first
month following the First Closing Date and shall be based on
the unused
commitments for the immediately preceding month.
(b) Letter
of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the pro rata
benefit of the Lenders based on their Applicable Commitment Percentages,
a fee
equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Advances per annum
on the
aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings. Such fee shall
be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter,
the first
such payment to be made on the first such date occurring after
the date of the
issuance of a Letter of Credit.
(c) Letter
of Credit Fronting and Administrative Fees. Borrowers agree to pay Agent a
fee equal to 0.125% per annum of the face amount of each Letter
of Credit
requested by Borrowers, if any. Such fee shall be due and payable
quarterly in
arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, the first such
payment to be
made on the first such date occurring after the date of the issuance
of a Letter
of Credit. Borrowers also agree to pay all present and future
expenses, charges, costs and fees of any Letter of Credit application,
including, without limitation, all amendment fees, presentation
fees, wire
charges and attorneys' fees and expenses of the Issuing Bank.
19
(d) Delayed
Draw Fees. Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of
each Lender,
based on its Applicable Commitment Percentage, a commitment
fee equal to 0.75%
per annum times $25,000,000 for the period between the First
Closing Date and
the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Lenders'
obligation to fund
the Acquisition Term Loan Amount, and (ii) the Second Closing
Date. This fee
shall accrue at all times during this period, and shall be
due and payable
monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month,
commencing with the
first such date to occur after the First Closing Date.
(e) Payment
of Fees. The fees described in this Section 4.2 represent compensation
for
services rendered and to be rendered separate and apart from
the lending of
money or the provision of credit and do not constitute compensation
for the use,
detention or forbearance of money. The obligation of Borrowers
to pay the fees
described herein shall be in addition to, and not in lieu
of, the obligation of
Borrowers to pay interest, other fees and expenses otherwise
described in this
Agreement or in any other agreement with the Agent. All fees
shall be payable
when due at Agent's office in Colorado in immediately available
funds and shall
be non-refundable when paid. Such fees shall constitute part
of the Facility,
secured by all of the Collateral.
4.3
|
COMPUTATION
OF INTEREST AND FEES.
|
Interest
and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed in
the period during which interest or fees accrue and a year
of three hundred
sixty (360) days. Notwithstanding any of the terms and conditions
contained in
this section, interest in respect of the Revolving Credit
Outstandings, Letter
of Credit Outstandings and the Term Loan shall not exceed
the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law.
4.4

DEFICIENCY
ADVANCES: FAILURE TO PURCHASE
PARTICIPATIONS.
|
No
Lender
shall be responsible for any default of any other Lender
in respect to such
other Lender's obligation to make any Advance hereunder or
to fund its purchase
of any Participation hereunder nor shall the Applicable Commitment
Percentage,
the Revolving Credit Commitment or Letter of Credit Commitment
of any Lender
hereunder be increased as a result of such default of any
other Lender. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event any
Lender shall fail to
advance funds to the Borrowers as herein provided, the Agent
may in its
discretion, but shall not be obligated to, advance under
the applicable
Revolving Note in its favor as a Lender all or any portion
of such amount or
amounts (each, a "Deficiency Advance") and shall thereafter
be entitled to
payments of principal of and interest on such Deficiency
Advance in the same
manner and at the same interest rate or rates to which such
other Lender would
have been entitled had it made such Advance under its Revolving
Note; provided
that (a) such defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to
receive payments of
principal, interest or fees with respect to such Deficiency
Advance until the
amount of such Deficiency Advance (together with interest
thereon as provided in
clause (b)) shall be paid by such Lender to the Agent, and
(b) upon payment to
the Agent from such other Lender of the entire outstanding
amount of each such
Deficiency Advance, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the
Federal Funds Rate, then such payment shall be credited against
the applicable
Revolving Note of the Agent in full payment of such Deficiency
Advance and such
Borrower shall be deemed to have borrowed the amount of such
Deficiency Advance
from such other Lender as of the most recent date or dates,
as the case may be,
upon which any payments of interest were made by such Borrower
thereon. In the
event any Lender shall fail to fund its purchase of a Participation
after notice
from the Issuing Bank such Lender shall pay to the Issuing
Bank such amount on
demand, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate
on the amount so due
from the date of such notice to the date such purchase price
is received by the
Issuing Bank.

FUNDING
LOSSES AND LIBOR ISSUES.
|
(a) Basis
Unavailable or Inadequate for LIBOR. If, on or before any date when a LIBOR
Rate is to be determined, Agent determines that the basis
for determining the
LIBOR Rate is not available or that the resulting rate does
not accurately
reflect the cost to Lenders of making or converting Advances
or Term Loans at
that rate for the applicable Interest Period, then Agent
shall promptly notify,
in writing, Borrowers and Lenders of that determination (which
is conclusive and
binding on Borrowers absent manifest error) and the applicable
Advance or Term
Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate. Until Agent notifies
Borrowers that
those circumstances no longer exist, Lenders' commitments
under this Agreement
to make, or to convert to, LIBOR Rate Advances and LIBOR
Rate Loans shall be
suspended.
(b)
|
Additional
Costs.
|
(i) With
respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance or LIBOR Rate Loan, if
(A)
any
present or future law imposes, modifies, or deems applicable
(or if compliance
by any Lender with any requirement of any court or authority
results in) any
reserve requirement, and if (B)
those
reserves reduce any sums receivable by Lenders under this
Agreement or increase
the costs incurred by Lenders in advancing or maintaining
any portion of any
LIBOR Rate Advance or LIBOR Rate Loan, then (C) Lenders (through
Agent) shall
deliver to Borrowers a certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail the
calculation of the amount necessary to compensate it for
its reduction or
increase, as the case may be (which certificate is conclusive
and binding absent
manifest error), and (D) Borrowers shall promptly pay that
amount to Agent upon
demand. This paragraph shall survive the satisfaction and
payment of all
Indebtedness and termination of this Agreement. This paragraph
may be invoked by
Lenders only if Lenders are generally invoking similar provisions
against other
Persons to which Lenders lend funds pursuant to facilities
similar to the
Facility.
(ii) With
respect to the Term Loan or the Revolving Line of Credit,
if any present or
future law regarding capital adequacy or compliance by any
Lender with any
request, directive or requirement now existing or hereafter
imposed by any court
or authority regarding capital adequacy, or any change in
its written policies
or in the risk category of this transaction, reduces the
rate of return on its
capital as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement
to a level
below that which it otherwise could have achieved (taking
into consideration its
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed
by it to be
material (and it may, in determining the amount, utilize
reasonable assumptions
and allocations of costs and expenses and use any reasonable
averaging or
attribution method), then (unless the effect is already reflected
in the rate of
interest then applicable under this Agreement) Agent shall
notify Borrowers and
deliver to Borrowers a certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail the
calculation of the amount necessary to compensate it (which
certificate is
conclusive and binding absent manifest error), and Borrowers
shall promptly pay
that amount to Agent upon demand. This paragraph shall survive
the satisfaction
and payment of all Indebtedness and termination of this Agreement.
This
paragraph may be invoked by Lenders only if Lenders are generally
invoking
similar provisions against other Persons to which Lenders
lend funds pursuant to
facilities similar to the Facility.
21
(c) Change
in Law. If any law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make
or maintain
LIBOR Rate Advances or LIBOR Rate Loans, then that Lender
shall promptly notify
Borrowers and Agent, and (i) as to undisbursed funds, that
requested Advance
shall be made as a Base Rate Advance, (ii) as to any outstanding
LIBOR Rate Loan
or LIBOR Rate Advance, (A) if maintaining the LIBOR Rate
Loan or LIBOR Rate
Advance until the last day of the applicable Interest Period
is unlawful, the
LIBOR Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Advance shall be converted
to a Base Rate Loan or
Base Rate Advance as of the date of notice, and Borrowers
shall pay any related
Funding Loss, or (B) if not prohibited by law, the LIBOR
Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate
Advance shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan or Base Rate
Advance as of the
last day of the applicable Interest Period, or (C) if any
conversion will not
resolve the unlawfulness, Borrowers shall promptly pay the
LIBOR Rate Loan or
LIBOR Rate Advance, without penalty, together with any related
Funding Loss.
This paragraph may be invoked by Lenders only if Lenders
are generally invoking
similar provisions against other Persons to which Lenders
lend funds pursuant to
facilities similar to the Facility.
4.6
|
FUNDING
LOSS.
|
Borrowers
agree to indemnify each Lender against, and pay to it upon
demand, any Funding
Loss of that Lender. When any Lender demands that Borrowers
pay any Funding
Loss, that Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent a
certificate setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for imposing a Funding
Loss and the
calculation of the amount, which calculation is conclusive
and binding absent
manifest error. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification
set forth
in this paragraph shall survive the satisfaction and payment
of the Indebtedness
and termination of this Agreement.
4.7
|
ACCOUNT
STATED.
|
Borrowers
agree that each monthly or other statement of account mailed
or delivered by
Agent to Borrowers pertaining to the outstanding balance
of Advances or Letters
of Credit under the Revolving Line of Credit, the outstanding
balance of the
Term Loan, the amount of interest due thereon, fees, and
costs and expenses
shall be final, conclusive, and binding on Borrowers and
shall constitute an
"account stated" with respect to the matters contained therein
unless, within
sixty (60) calendar days after such statement is mailed or,
if not mailed,
delivered to Borrowers, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent
written notice of any
objections which they may have as to such statement of account,
and in such
event, only the items to which objection is expressly made
in such notice shall
be considered to be disputed by Borrowers.

any direct or indirect
contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty
(or such contractual
counterparty's or prospective counterparty's professional
advisor) to any credit
derivative transaction relating to obligations of the
Borrowers; (g) with the
consent of the Borrowers; (h) to the extent such Information
(i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of this section, or (ii)
becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis from a
source other than the Borrowers; or (i) if the applicable
Lender is an insurance
company, to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
or any other
similar organization to the extent requested in connection
with a review of such
Lender. In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose
the existence of
this Agreement and information about this Agreement (but
not about the
Borrowers) to market data collectors, similar service
providers to the lending
industry, and service providers to the Agent and the
Lenders in connection with
the administration and management of this Agreement and
the other Transaction
Documents. For the purposes of this section, "Information"
means all information
received from Borrowers or any Consolidated Subsidiary
relating to Borrowers or
any Consolidated Subsidiary or its respective business,
other than any such
information that is available to Agent or any Lender
on a nonconfidential basis
prior to disclosure by Borrowers or any Consolidated
Subsidiary. Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
as provided in this
section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if
such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would
accord to its own
confidential information.

13.23 USA
PATRIOT ACT NOTICE.
Each
Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined)
and the Agent (for
itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies
the Borrowers that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title
III of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into Law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is
required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers,
which information
includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other
information that will
allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify
the Borrowers in
accordance with the Act.
13.24 JOINT
AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS.
(a) Each
Borrower agrees that its obligations and liabilities
(including the
Indebtedness) under this Agreement and all other Transaction
Documents are joint
and several obligations regardless of which Borrower
receives the proceeds of
the Transactions or the manner in which the Borrowers,
the Agent or the Lenders
account therefor in their respective records. Each Borrower
acknowledges and
agrees that, for purposes of the Transaction Documents,
the Borrowers constitute
a single integrated financial enterprise and that each
receives a benefit from
the availability of credit under this Agreement to each
other
Borrower.
(b) Each
Borrower acknowledges that it will enjoy significant
benefits from the business
conducted by the other Borrowers because of, inter alia, their combined
ability to bargain with other Persons including without
limitation, their
ability to receive the credit extensions under this Agreement
and the other
Transaction Documents, which would not have been available
to an individual
Borrower acting alone. Each Borrower has determined that
it is in its best
interest to procure the credit facilities contemplated
hereunder, with the
credit support of the other Borrowers as contemplated
by this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents.
(c) The
Agent and the Lenders have advised the Borrowers that
they are unwilling to
enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
and make available
the credit facilities extended hereby or thereby to a
Borrower unless the other
Borrowers agree, among other things, to be jointly and
severally liable for the
due and proper payment of the Indebtedness of the other
Borrowers under this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each Borrower
has determined that
it is in its best interest and in pursuit of its purposes
that it so induce the
Agent and the Lenders to extend credit pursuant to this
Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents (i) because of the desirability
to each Borrower of the
credit facilities hereunder and the interest rates and
the modes of borrowing
available hereunder; (ii) because a Borrower may engage
in transactions jointly
with other Borrowers; and (iii) because a Borrower may
require, from time to
time, access to funds under this Agreement for the purposes
herein set forth.
Each Borrower, individually, expressly understands, agrees
and acknowledges,
that the credit facilities contemplated hereunder would
not be made available on
the terms herein in the absence of the collective credit
of the Borrowers and
the joint and several liability of all such Persons.
Accordingly, each Borrower
individually acknowledges that the benefit of the accommodations
made under this
Agreement to the Borrowers as a whole constitutes reasonably
equivalent value,
regardless of the amount of the indebtedness actually
borrowed by, advanced to,
or the amount of credit provided to, any individual
Borrower.
56
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein, in the Notes or in any other Transaction
Document to the
contrary, in any action or proceeding involving any state
corporate law, or any
state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other law affecting
the rights of creditors generally, if, as a result of
applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, including
Section 548 of the
Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable
state law
(collectively, "Fraudulent Transfer Laws"), the obligations
of a Borrower under
this Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document
would, after giving
effect to (i) all other liabilities of such Borrower,
contingent or otherwise,
that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Laws
(specifically excluding,
however, any liabilities of such Borrower in respect
of intercompany Debt to
another Borrower); and (ii) the value as assets of such
Borrower (as determined
under the applicable provisions of such Fraudulent Transfer
Laws) and of any
rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity
or similar rights
held by such Borrower, be held or determined to be void,
invalid or
unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other
creditors, on account
of the amount of its liability under this Agreement,
the Notes or any other
Transaction Document, then the amount of such liability
shall, without any
further action by such Borrower, any Lender, the Agent
or any other Person, be
automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount
that is valid and
enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other
creditors as determined
in such action or proceeding.
(e) Subject
to the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, the Agent is
hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without
affecting the liability
of any Borrower hereunder, to, at any time and from time
to time, (i) renew,
extend or otherwise increase the time for payment of
the Indebtedness; (ii) with
the written agreement of Borrowers, accelerate or otherwise
change the terms
relating to the Indebtedness or otherwise modify, amend
or change the terms of
any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument
now or hereafter
executed by any Borrower and delivered to Agent; (iii)
accept partial payments
of the Indebtedness; (iv) take and hold security or collateral
for the payment
of the Indebtedness or for the payment of any guaranties
of the Indebtedness and
exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security
or collateral; (v) apply
such security or collateral and direct the order or manner
of sale thereof as
Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine; (vi) settle,
release, compromise,
collect or otherwise liquidate the Indebtedness and any
security or collateral
therefor in any manner; and (vii) exercise, in its sole
discretion, any right,
remedy or combination thereof that may then be available
to Agent, without
affecting or impairing the Indebtedness of any Borrower.
Except as specifically
provided in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents, Agent
shall have the exclusive right to determine the time
and manner of application
of any payments or credits, whether received from any
Borrower or any other
source, and such determination shall be binding on all
Borrowers. All such
payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied,
in whole or in
part, to any of the Indebtedness as Agent shall determine
in its sole discretion
without affecting the validity or enforceability of the
Indebtedness of any
other Borrower.
(f) Each
Borrower hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided,
its liability with
respect to the Indebtedness hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of
(i) the absence of any attempt to collect the Indebtedness
from any obligor or
other action to enforce the same; (ii) the waiver or
consent by Agent with
respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing
the Indebtedness, or any
part thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now
or hereafter executed by a
Borrower (other than the Borrower with respect to which
such waiver or consent
is granted) and delivered to Agent; (iii) the failure
by Agent to take any steps
to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or
to preserve its rights to,
any security or collateral for the Indebtedness; (iv)
the institution of any
proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or
any similar proceeding,
by or against a Borrower or Agent's election in any such
proceeding of the
application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code; (v) any
borrowing or grant of a security interest by a Borrower
as debtor-in-possession,
under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code;
(vi) the disallowance,
under Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code,
of all or any portion of
Agent's claim(s) for repayment of any of the Indebtedness;
or (vii) any other
circumstance other than payment in full of the Indebtedness
which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a guarantor or
surety.
57
(g) Each
Borrower hereby waives (i) any right of redemption with
respect to the
Collateral after the sale hereunder, and all rights,
if any, of marshalling of
the Collateral or other collateral or security for the
Indebtedness; and (ii)
any right (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be
waived) to require the Agent or any Lender to (A) proceed
against any other
Borrower or any other Person, (B) proceed against or
exhaust any other
collateral or security for any of the Indebtedness, or
(C) pursue any remedy in
the Agent's or any Lender's power whatsoever. Each Borrower
hereby waives any
defense based on or arising out of any defense of any
other Borrower or any
other Person other than payment in full of the Indebtedness,
including, without
limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the
disability of any other
Borrower or any other Person, or the unenforceability
of the Indebtedness or any
part thereof for any reason, or the cessation for any
reason of the liability of
any other Borrower other than payment in full of the
Indebtedness. The Agent
may, at its election, foreclose on any security held
by the Agent by one or more
judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every
aspect of any such sale is
commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted
by applicable
law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Agent
may have against any other
Borrower or any other Person, or any security, without
affecting or impairing in
any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder except
to the extent the
Indebtedness has been paid in full. Each Borrower waives
all rights and defenses
arising out of an election of remedies by the Agent,
even though that election
of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect
to security for a
guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Borrower's
rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against any other Borrower.
(h) Until
all Indebtedness has been paid and satisfied in full
and all Revolving Credit
Commitments hereunder are terminated, no payment made
by or for the account of a
Borrower including, without limitation, (i) a payment
made by such Borrower on
behalf of the liabilities of any other Borrower; or (ii)
a payment by any other
person under any guaranty, shall entitle such Borrower,
by subrogation or
otherwise, to any payment from any other Borrower or
from or out of any other
Borrower's property and such Borrower shall not exercise
any right or remedy
against any other Borrower or any property of any other
Borrower by reason of
any performance of such Borrower of its joint and several
liability
hereunder.
(i) Any
notice given by one Borrower hereunder shall constitute
and be deemed to be
notice given by all Borrowers, jointly and severally.
Notice given by Agent or
Lenders to AMC hereunder or pursuant to any other Transaction
Documents in
accordance with the terms hereof shall constitute notice
to each and every
Borrower. The knowledge of one Borrower shall be imputed
to all Borrowers and
any consent by one Borrower shall constitute the consent
of and shall bind all
Borrowers.
58
(j) This
Section 13.24 is intended to define the relative rights
of Borrowers and nothing
set forth in this section is intended to or shall impair
the Indebtedness of
Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts
as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement or any
other Transaction Documents. Nothing contained in this
section shall limit the
liability of any Borrower to pay the credit facilities
made directly or
indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, fees
and expenses with respect
thereto or for which such Borrower shall be primarily
liable.
(k) The
parties hereto acknowledge that any rights of contribution
and indemnification
of a Borrower against another Borrower shall constitute
assets of each Borrower
to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.
The rights of any
indemnifying Borrower against the other Borrowers shall
be exercisable upon the
full and indefeasible payment of the Indebtedness and
the termination of the
credit facilities hereunder.
(1) This
Agreement is a primary and original obligation of each
of the Borrowers and each
of the Borrowers shall be liable for all existing and
future Indebtedness of any
other Borrower as fully as if such Indebtedness were
directly incurred by such
Borrower.
(m) Each
Borrower further agrees that its Indebtedness hereunder
shall not be impaired in
any manner whatsoever by any bankruptcy, extensions,
moratoria or other relief
granted to any other Borrower pursuant to any statute
presently in force or
hereafter enacted.
