Administrative Bank (or its designee) shall promptly distribute to each Bank its respective Percentage of all payments of principal of or interest on the Real Estate Loan or other payments due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document received by it for the account of such Bank with respect to the Real Estate Loan; provided, however, that: (a) Administrative Bank may set off against any amount distributable to any Bank the amount, if any, which such Bank is obligated to pay to Administrative Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (b) if Administrative Bank determines in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable care that any amount received by it or Banks under this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be returned to Borrowers or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Bank will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Bank and each Bank will repay to Administrative Bank, on demand, any portion of such amount that Administrative Bank has distributed to such Bank, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Administrative Bank is required to pay to Borrowers or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. All amounts received by each Bank (whether as a result of payment transmitted by Borrowers or otherwise) on account of payment of interest on or principal of the Notes, or other payments due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, shall be so applied by it to such payment.
Section 1.6 Pro-Rata Sharing with Respect to Real Estate Loan. If any Bank or any holder of any Real Estate Note shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) of the Real Estate Loan or other obligation which is to be shared pro-rata under this Agreement in excess of its Percentage of such payment then or thereafter obtained by all other Banks or other holders of the Real Estate Notes, such Bank or
other holder shall purchase from the other Banks or the other holders of the Real Estate Notes such participations in the relevant obligation as shall be necessary for such purchasing Bank or holder to share the excess payment ratably with the other Banks or holders according to each Bank’s or other holder’s Percentage; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrowers agree that any Bank or holder so purchasing a participation from another Bank or holder pursuant to this Section 1.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank or holder were the direct creditor of a Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 1.7 Fees. In addition to the interest and other consideration to Banks herein, Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative Bank the Fees, as and when due in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. No termination or reduction of a Commitment and no failure of a Borrower to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article II shall entitle Borrowers to a refund of any portion of such Fees. Administrative Bank shall share the Fees with the Banks to the extent and in the manner agreed upon between Administrative Bank and the Banks.
Section 1.8 Revolving Commitment. From and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the Facility Termination Date, each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Revolving Loans to Overstock in and participate in Facility LCs issued upon the request of Overstock, provided that, after giving effect to the making of each such Revolving Loan and the issuance of each such Facility LC, the amount of such Bank’s Revolving Exposure shall not exceed its Revolving Commitment. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Overstock may borrow, repay and reborrow the Revolving Loans at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date. The LC Issuer will issue Facility LCs hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.25.
Section 1.9 Required Payments; Termination. If at any time the amount of (i) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, Overstock shall immediately make a payment on the Revolving Loans or cash collateralize LC Obligations in an account with the Administrative Bank sufficient to eliminate such excess. The Aggregate Revolving Exposure and all other unpaid Obligations with respect to the Revolving Commitments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid in full by Overstock on the Facility Termination Date.
Section 1.10 Ratable Loans; Types of Advances. Each advance on the Revolving Commitments (other than any Swing Line Loan) shall consist of Revolving Loans made by the Banks ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares. The Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Advances or LIBOR Based Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by Overstock in accordance with Sections 1.15 and 1.16, or Swing Line Loans selected by Overstock in accordance with Section 1.11.
Section 1.11 Swing Line Loans.
(a) Amount of Swing Line Loans. Prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Swing Line Bank may, at its option, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
make Swing Line Loans to Overstock from time to time in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, provided that the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not at any time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, and provided further that at no time shall the sum of (i) the Swing Line Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Swing Line Loans, plus (ii) the outstanding Revolving Loans made by the Swing Line Bank, plus (iii) the Swing Line Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations, exceed the Swing Line Bank’s Revolving Commitment at such time. Subject to the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation the discretion of the Swing Line Bank), Overstock may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Line Loans at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date.
(b) Borrowing Notice. In order to borrow a Swing Line Loan, Overstock shall deliver to the Administrative Bank and the Swing Line Bank irrevocable notice (a “Swing Line Borrowing Notice”) not later than 12:00 noon Salt Lake City time on the Borrowing Date of each Swing Line Loan, specifying (i) the applicable Borrowing Date (which date shall be a Business Day), and (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Swing Line Loan which shall be an amount not less than $100,000.00.

(d) Repayment of Swing Line Loans. Each Swing Line Loan shall be paid in full by Overstock on the date selected by the Swing Line Bank. In addition, the Swing Line Bank may at any time in its sole discretion with respect to any outstanding Swing Line Loan, require each Bank to fund the participation acquired by such Bank pursuant to Section 1.11(c) or require each Bank (including the Swing Line Bank) to make a Revolving Loan in the amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan (including, without limitation, any interest accrued and unpaid thereon), for the purpose of repaying such Swing Line Loan. Not later than 12:00 noon Salt Lake City time on the date of any notice received pursuant to this Section 1.11(d), each Bank shall make available its required Revolving Loan, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Bank at its address specified herein. Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section 1.11(d) shall initially be Base Rate Advances and thereafter may be continued as Base Rate Loans or converted into LIBOR Based Advances in the manner provided in Section 1.16 and subject to the other conditions and limitations set forth in this Article I. Such Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 1.11(d) to repay Swing Line Loans or to fund the participation acquired pursuant to Section 1.11(c) shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against Overstock, the Administrative Bank, the Swing Line Bank or any other Person, (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (c) any adverse
change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Overstock, or (d) any other circumstances, happening or event whatsoever.

On the Facility Termination Date, Overstock shall repay in full the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans.
Section 1.12 Revolving Commitment Fee . Overstock agrees to pay to the Administrative Bank for the account of each Bank according to its Pro Rata Share a commitment fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Fee Rate on the average daily Available Aggregate Revolving Commitment from the date hereof to and including the Facility Termination Date, payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Facility Termination Date. Swing Line Loans shall not count as usage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment for the purpose of calculating the commitment fee due hereunder.
Section 1.13 Minimum Amount of Each Revolving Loan. Each LIBOR Based Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 and incremental amounts in integral multiples of $25,000.00, and each Base Rate Advance (other than such Advances to repay Swing Line Loans) shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000.00 and incremental amounts in integral multiples of $25,000.00, provided, however, that any Base Rate Advance may be in the amount of the Available Aggregate Revolving Commitment.
Section 1.14 Reductions in Aggregate Revolving Commitment; Optional Principal Payments. Overstock may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment of the Banks in whole, or in part ratably among the Banks in integral multiples of $1,000,000.00, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Bank in the form of Exhibit A-3 (a “Payment Notice”), which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment of the Banks may not be reduced below the Aggregate Revolving Exposure. All accrued commitment fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment hereunder. Overstock may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000.00 (or the aggregate amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans at such time), any portion of the aggregate outstanding Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) upon same day notice to the Administrative Bank. Overstock may at any time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, with notice to the Administrative Bank and the Swing Line Bank by 11:00 a.m. Salt Lake City time on the date of repayment.

Not later than 12:00 noon Salt Lake City time on each Borrowing Date, each Bank shall make available its Revolving Loan in funds immediately available to the Administrative Bank. The Administrative Bank will make the funds so received from the Banks available to Overstock.
Section 1.16 Conversion of Outstanding Revolving Loans. Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Base Rate Advances unless and until such Base Rate Advances are converted into LIBOR Based Advances pursuant to this Section 1.16 or are repaid in accordance with Section 1.14. Each LIBOR Based Advance shall continue as a LIBOR Based Advance unless (x) such LIBOR Based Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 1.14 or (y) Overstock shall have given the Administrative Bank a Conversion Notice (as defined below) requesting that such LIBOR Based Advance be converted into a Base Rate Advance. Subject to the terms of Section 1.13, Overstock may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) into a LIBOR Based Advance. Overstock shall give the Administrative Bank irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit A-2 (a “Conversion Notice”) of each conversion of a Base Rate Advance into a LIBOR Based Advance or conversion of a LIBOR Based Advance to a Base Rate Advance not later than 12:00 noon Salt Lake City time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion, specifying:

(ii) the Base Rate Advance or LIBOR Based Advance, as applicable, which is to be converted, and
(iii) the amount of such Base Rate Advance or LIBOR Based Advance which is to be converted.
The foregoing rate conversion provisions shall also apply to amounts outstanding under the Real Estate Loan following Conversion.
Section 1.17 Interest Rates. Each Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a LIBOR Based Advance into a Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 1.16, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a
LIBOR Based Advance pursuant to Section 1.16 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Base Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each LIBOR Based Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each day from and including the date such Advance is or is converted from a Base Rate Advance to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Base Rate Advance. Each LIBOR Based Advance shall bear interest at the LIBOR Based Rate as adjusted on each Reprice Date.
Section 1.18 Rates Applicable After Event of Default. During the continuance of a Default or Event of Default the Required Banks may, at their option, by notice from the Administrative Bank to Overstock (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Banks notwithstanding any provision of Section 10.9 requiring unanimous consent of the Banks to changes in interest rates), declare that no Revolving Loan may be made as a LIBOR Based Loan or converted to a LIBOR Based Advance. During the continuance of an Event of Default the Required Banks may, at their option, by notice from the Administrative Bank to Overstock (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Banks notwithstanding any provision of Section 10.9 requiring unanimous consent of the Banks to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) interest under all of the Loans shall accrue at the Default Rate and (ii) the LC Fee shall be increased by 2.00% per annum, provided that, during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.1(f) or (g), the increase to the Default Rate and the increase in the LC Fee set forth shall be applicable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Bank or any Bank. If an Event of Default has been waived, the interest rate applicable to the Loans and the LC Fee shall revert to the rates applicable prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.
Section 1.19 Method of Payment.
(a) All payments with respect to the Revolving Commitments shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Bank at the Administrative Bank’s address specified herein or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Bank specified in writing by the Administrative Bank to Overstock, by 12:00 noon Salt Lake City time on the date when due and shall (except (i) with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans, (ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Banks, or (iii) as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Administrative Bank among the Banks. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Bank for the account of any Bank shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Bank to such Bank in the same type of funds that the Administrative Bank received at its address specified herein or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Bank from such Bank. Overstock may authorize the Administrative Bank to debit the account of Overstock maintained with U.S. Bank for each payment of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees as it becomes due hereunder. Each reference to the Administrative Bank in this Section 1.19 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by Overstock to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 1.25(f).
(b) (i) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Overstock to such Bank resulting from each Revolving Loan made by such Bank from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Bank shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Revolving Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Overstock to each Bank hereunder, (iii) the original stated amount of each Facility LC and the amount of LC Obligations outstanding at any time, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Bank hereunder from Overstock and each Bank’s share thereof.
(d) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Bank or any Bank to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Overstock to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.
(e) Each Bank’s Revolving Loans (including the Swing Line Bank) will be evidenced by a promissory note representing its Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, respectively, substantially in the forms included in Exhibit F, as applicable (with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans) (each a “Revolving Note”).
Section 1.20 Telephonic Notices. Overstock hereby authorizes the Banks and the Administrative Bank to extend or convert Revolving Loans and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Person or Persons the Administrative Bank or any Bank in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Overstock, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion Notices to be given telephonically. Overstock agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Bank a written confirmation (which may include e-mail) of each telephonic notice authenticated by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Bank and the Banks, the records of the Administrative Bank and the Banks shall govern absent manifest error. The parties agree to prepare appropriate documentation to correct any such error within ten (10) days after discovery by any party to this Agreement.
Section 1.21 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Revolving Loan and each Swing Line Loan shall be payable on the first (1st) day of each month and continuing on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter and at maturity. Interest accrued pursuant to Section 1.18 shall be payable on demand. Interest on all Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day a Revolving Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon Salt Lake City time at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a
Revolving Loan shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 1.22 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Bank will notify each Bank of the contents of each Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. Promptly after notice from the LC Issuer, the Administrative Bank will notify each Bank of the contents of each request for issuance of a Facility LC hereunder. The Administrative Bank will notify each Bank of the interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Based Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Bank prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
Section 1.23 Lending Installations. Each Bank may book its Revolving Loans and its participation in any LC Obligations and the LC Issuer may book the Facility LCs at any Lending Installation selected by such Bank or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time, in each case so long as Borrowers could not reasonably be expected to incur liabilities under Sections 1.28, 1.29 and 1.32 hereof. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Revolving Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Revolving Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Bank or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Bank and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Administrative Bank and Overstock as provided herein, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Revolving Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be issued by it and for whose account Revolving Loan payments or payments with respect to Facility LCs are to be made.
Section 1.24 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Bank. Unless a Bank notifies the Administrative Bank prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Bank in respect of the proceeds of a Revolving Loan that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Bank may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to Overstock in reliance upon such assumption. If such Bank has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Bank, Overstock shall, on demand by the Administrative Bank, repay to the Administrative Bank the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Bank until the date the Administrative Bank recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.
Section 1.25 Facility LCs.
(a) Issuance. The LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue standby and commercial Letters of Credit (each, a “Facility LC”) and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC (“Modify,” and each such action a “Modification”), from time to time from and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the Facility Termination Date upon the request of Overstock; provided that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i) the aggregate amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed $5,000,000.00, (ii) the amount of the Aggregate
Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment.

(b) Participations. Upon the issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 1.25, the LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.
(c) Notice. Overstock shall give the Administrative Bank notice prior to 12:00 noon Salt Lake City time at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC, specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Bank shall promptly notify the LC Issuer and each Bank of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Bank’s participation in such proposed Facility LC. The issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the other conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to the LC Issuer and that Overstock shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as the LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC Application”). The LC Issuer shall have no independent duty to ascertain whether the conditions to issuance have been satisfied; provided, however, that the LC Issuer shall not issue a Facility LC if, on or before the proposed date of issuance, the LC Issuer shall have received notice from the Administrative Bank or the Required Banks that any such condition has not been satisfied or waived. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(d) LC Fees. Overstock shall pay to the Administrative Bank, for the account of the Banks ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, with respect to each Facility LC, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Libor Based Advances in effect from time to time on the original face amount of such Facility LC for the period from the date of issuance to the scheduled expiration date of such Facility LC, such fee to be payable in arrears on each the first day of each fiscal quarter (the “LC Fee”). Overstock shall also pay to the LC Issuer for its own account (x) a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% per annum of the average daily undrawn stated amount under such Facility LC, such fee to be payable in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter and (y) on demand, all amendment, drawing and other fees regularly charged by the LC Issuer to its letter of credit customers and all
reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the LC Issuer in connection with the issuance, Modification, administration or payment of any Facility LC.
(e) Administration; Reimbursement by Banks. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Bank and the Administrative Bank shall promptly notify Overstock and each other Bank as to the amount to be paid by the LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”). The responsibility of the LC Issuer to Overstock and each Bank shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC. The LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Issuer, each Bank shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse the LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by the LC Issuer under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by Overstock pursuant to Section 1.25(f) below and there are not funds available in the Facility LC Collateral Account to cover the same, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Bank, for each day from the date of the LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. Salt Lake City time on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Bank pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances.
(f) Reimbursement by Overstock. Overstock shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither Overstock nor any Bank shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by Overstock or such Bank to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. All such amounts paid by the LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by Overstock shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date. The LC Issuer will pay to each Bank ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from Overstock for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by the LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Bank has made payment to the LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 1.25(e). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section
1.15 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth herein, Overstock may request Revolving Loans hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.
(g) Obligations Absolute. Overstock’s obligations under this Section 1.25 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which Overstock may have or have had against the LC Issuer, any Bank or any beneficiary of a Facility LC. Overstock further agrees with the LC Issuer and the Banks that the LC Issuer and the Banks shall not be responsible for, and Overstock’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among Overstock, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of Overstock or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee. The LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC. Overstock agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Bank under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon Overstock and shall not put the LC Issuer or any Bank under any liability to Overstock. Nothing in this Section 1.25(g) is intended to limit the right of Overstock to make a claim against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 1.25(f).
(h) Actions of LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex, teletype or electronic mail message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.25, the LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Banks, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Banks and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC.
(i) Indemnification. Overstock hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Bank, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Bank, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) which such Bank, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank may incur (or which may be claimed against such Bank, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any
Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) which the LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with the failure of any other Bank to fulfill or comply with its obligations to the LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights Overstock may have against any Defaulting Bank).
(j) Banks’ Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by Overstock) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 1.25 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.
(k) Facility LC Collateral Account. Solely to effectuate the later expiry date of a Facility LC in accordance with Section 1.25(a), Overstock agrees that it will, upon the request of the Administrative Bank or the Required Banks and until the final expiration date of such later-expiring Facility LC and thereafter as long as any amount is payable to the LC Issuer or the Banks in respect of such later-expiring Facility LC, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Bank (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”), in the name of such Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Bank, for the benefit of the Banks and in which such Borrower shall have no interest. Upon the establishment of the Facility LC Collateral Account, Overstock shall pledge, assign and grant to the Administrative Bank, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Banks and the LC Issuer, a security interest in all of Overstock’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations described in Section 1.25(a). The Administrative Bank will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of U.S. Bank having a maturity not exceeding thirty (30) days. Nothing in this Section 1.25(k) shall either obligate the Administrative Bank to require Overstock to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account or limit the right of the Administrative Bank to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account in each case.
(l) Rights as a Bank. In its capacity as a Bank, the LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Bank.
Section 1.26 Limitation of Interest. Borrowers, the Administrative Bank and the Banks intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 1.26 shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 1.26, even if such provision declares that it controls. As used in this Section 1.26, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as
compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of this Agreement. In no event shall Borrowers or any other Person be obligated to pay, or any Bank have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (a) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted under the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of any applicable state, or (b) total interest in excess of the amount which such Bank could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of this Agreement at the highest lawful rate. On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceeds the highest lawful rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the highest lawful rate for that day, and shall remain fixed at the highest lawful rate for each day thereafter until the total amount of interest accrued equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if there were no such ceiling rate as is imposed by this sentence. Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the highest lawful rate when the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate. The daily interest rates to be used in calculating interest at the highest lawful rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable highest lawful rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made. None of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 1.26, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the highest lawful rate. If the term of any Loan or any other Obligation outstanding hereunder or under the other Loan Documents is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason any Bank at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the highest lawful rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such Bank, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrowers’ Obligations to such Bank, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.
Section 1.27 Defaulting Banks.
(a) Defaulting Bank Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as such Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Banks.
(ii) Defaulting Bank Waterfall. With respect to the Revolving Exposures, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Bank for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to the exercise of remedies or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Bank from a Defaulting Bank shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Bank as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Bank hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the LC Issuer and Swing Line Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the LC Issuer’s fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with Section 1.25(e); fourth, as a Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Bank; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Bank and Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account (including the Facility LC Collateral Account) and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the LC Issuer’s future fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Facility LCs issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, the LC Issuer or Swing Line Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, the LC Issuer or Swing Line Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; eighth, if so determined by the Administrative Bank, distributed to the Banks other than the Defaulting Bank until the ratio of the outstanding credit exposures of such Banks to the aggregate outstanding exposures of all Banks equals such ratio immediately prior to the Defaulting Bank’s failure to fund any portion of any Loans or participations in Facility LCs or Swing Line Loans; and ninth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Facility LC issuances in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the credit extensions of all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any credit extensions of such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 1.27(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees. (a) No Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank (and Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Bank).
(B) Each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive LC Fees for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to the extent allocable to its
ratable share of the stated amount of Facility LCs for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 1.27(d).
(C) With respect to any commitment fee or LC Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Bank that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s participation in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the LC Issuer and Swing Line Bank, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank to the extent allocable to the LC Issuer’s or Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Bank, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Bank’s participation in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Bank’s Commitments) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate outstanding credit exposure of any Non-Defaulting Bank to exceed such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Commitments. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such Non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Overstock shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.27(d).
(b) Defaulting Bank Cure. If Borrowers, the Administrative Bank, the Swing Line Bank and the LC Issuer agree in writing that a Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Bank will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Administrative Bank may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Facility LCs and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Banks in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 1.27(a)(iv)), whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; 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 Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.
(c) New Swing Line Loans/Facility LCs. So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, (i) the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no fronting exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Facility LC unless it is satisfied that it will have no fronting exposure after giving effect thereto.
(d) Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Bank, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Bank or the LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Bank) Overstock shall cash collateralize the LC Issuer’s fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank (determined after giving effect to Section 1.27(a)(iv).
(i) Grant of Security Interest. Overstock, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Bank, such Defaulting Bank, hereby grants to the Administrative Bank, for the benefit of the LC Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash collateral as security for the Defaulting Bank’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Bank determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Bank and the LC Issuer as herein provided or other than Permitted Encumbrances, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is inadequate in amount, Overstock will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Bank, pay or provide to the Administrative Bank additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Bank).
(ii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section 1.27 in respect of Facility LCs shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Bank’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Bank, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(iii) Termination of Requirement. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the LC Issuer’s fronting exposure shall no longer be required to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 1.27(d) following (i) the elimination of the applicable fronting exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Bank status of the applicable Bank), or (ii) the reasonable determination by the Administrative Bank and the LC Issuer that there exists excess cash collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 1.27 the Person providing cash collateral and the LC Issuer may agree that cash collateral shall be held to support future anticipated fronting exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such cash collateral was provided by Overstock, such cash collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.
Section 1.28 Yield Protection. If, after the date of this Agreement, there occurs any Change in Law which:
(a) subjects any Bank or any applicable Lending Installation, the LC Issuer, or the Administrative Bank to any Taxes (other than with respect to Indemnified Taxes, Excluded
Taxes, and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or
(b) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate), or
(c) imposes any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans and, in each case, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate, or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer in connection with its Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires any Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of the Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate, Facility LCs or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Bank or the LC Issuer as the case may be, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Person of making or maintaining its Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs or to reduce the amount received by such Person in connection with such Loans or Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein,
(d) then such Person may notify Overstock that events or conditions have occurred that may result in such increased costs or reduction in amounts to be received (the “Event Notice”). Once the amount of the increased costs or reductions in amounts to be received is determined, such Person may give notice thereof (a “Payment Notice”), and within thirty (30) days of the Payment Notice, Overstock shall pay such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for the such increased costs or reductions in amounts to be received. Overstock shall not be required to compensate such Person pursuant to this Section 1.28 for any increased costs or reductions suffered prior to the date that such Person sends the Event Notice. The method of determining any amount payable to such Person under this Section 1.28 shall be substantially similar to the method used by such Person in implementing similar provisions for similarly situated borrowers and extensions of credit. Such Person shall provide to Overstock a statement of the amount and basis of calculation of any such increased costs or reduction in return.
Section 1.29 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Bank or the LC Issuer determines reasonably that the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or the LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Bank or the LC Issuer, or any corporation or holding company controlling such Bank or the LC Issuer is increased as a result of (i) a Change in Law that occurs after the date of this Agreement or (ii) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, then, such Bank or the LC Issuer may notify Overstock that such events or conditions have occurred that may result in a shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital or liquidity which such Bank or the LC Issuer determines reasonably is attributable to this Agreement, its Revolving Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Facility LCs,
as the case may, after taking into account such Bank’s or the LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy or liquidity (the “Event Notice”). Once the amount necessary to compensate such Bank or the LC Issuer for the shortfall in the rate of return is determined, such Bank or the LC Issuer may give notice thereof (a “Payment Notice”), and within thirty (30) days of the Payment Notice, Overstock shall pay such Bank or the LC Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for the such shortfall in the rate of return. Overstock shall not be required to compensate Banks pursuant to this Section 1.29 for any shortfall in the rate of return suffered prior to the date that the Bank or the LC Issuer sends the Event Notice. The method of determining any amount payable to a Bank under this Section 1.29 shall be substantially similar to the method used by such Bank or the LC Issuer in implementing similar provisions for similarly situated borrowers and extensions of credit. The Bank or the LC Issuer shall provide to Overstock a statement of the amount and basis of calculation of any such shortfall in the rate of return.
Section 1.30 Availability of Types of Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate. If the Administrative Bank or the Required Banks determine reasonably that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund the Revolving Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate are not available to such Banks in the relevant market or the Administrative Bank, in consultation with the Banks, determines reasonably that the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate is not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining the Revolving Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate, then the Administrative Bank shall suspend the availability of Revolving Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate and require any affected Revolving Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate to be repaid or converted to Revolving Loans at the Base Rate, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 1.31.
Section 1.31 Funding Indemnification. If (a) any payment of a Loan at the LIBOR Based Rate occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable interest period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, (b) a Loan at the LIBOR Based Rate is not made on the date specified by a Borrower for any reason other than default by the Banks, (c) a Loan at the LIBOR Based Rate is converted other than on the last day of the interest period applicable thereto, (d) a Borrower fails to borrow, convert, or prepay any Loan at the LIBOR Based Rate on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (e) any Loan at the LIBOR Based Rate is assigned other than on the last day of the interest period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower, the Borrowers will indemnify each Bank for such Bank’s costs, expenses and Interest Differential (as determined reasonably by such Bank) incurred as a result of such prepayment. The term “Interest Differential” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Bank resulting from prepayment, calculated as the difference between the amount of interest such Bank would have earned (from the investments in Money Markets as of the Borrowing Date of such advance) had prepayment not occurred and the interest such Bank will actually earn (from like investments in Money Markets as of the date of prepayment) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrowers agree that Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value.
Section 1.32 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 1.32) the applicable Bank, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Bank timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Banks, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 1.32) payable or paid by such Bank, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Bank, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Bank or LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Bank), or by the Administrative Bank on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank or LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Bank, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Bank for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Bank in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Bank to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Bank to such Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Bank under this paragraph (d).
(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 1.32, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Bank 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 Bank.
(f) (i) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Bank, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Bank, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Bank as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Bank, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Bank as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Bank to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any Bank that is a United States Person for U.S. federal income Tax purposes shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Bank on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Bank), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
(B) any Non-U.S. Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Bank (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Bank), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Bank claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such Tax treaty;
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(a) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of either Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(b) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(c) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
(4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Bank is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form
W-8BEN or W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8IMY or IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.
(C) any Non-U.S. Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Bank (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Bank), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Bank to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Bank at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Bank 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 Bank as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Bank to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Bank in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.32), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 1.32 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “In Balance” means that (a) X.Xxx has paid, in cash, costs of the Project shown in the Budget, equal to at least the amount of item (i) under X.Xxx’s Equity (not including any payments to a Related Party that Administrative Bank does not permit to be included as a portion of X.Xxx’s Equity); (b) as to any line item in the Budget, all remaining unpaid costs of completing such line item, as determined by Administrative Bank , do not exceed the amount of the Real Estate Loan proceeds allocated to such line item, as reflected in the Budget, and not yet advanced by Banks (plus any unused contingency amount in the Budget that may be applied by X.Xxx at its discretion); (c) as to the Project, all remaining unpaid cost of construction of the Project, as reasonably determined by Administrative Bank do not exceed the amount of the Real Estate Loan proceeds not yet advanced by Banks plus item (ii) under X.Xxx’s Equity; and (d) X.Xxx is in compliance with the Loan to Value Requirement as established by the most recent Bank Approved Appraisal required by this Agreement.

Administrative Bank may request the Inspecting Architect, before any Advance on the Real Estate Loan proceeds is made, to inspect all work and materials for which payment is requested and all other work upon the Project, review the current Draw Request, approve such work and Draw Request and/or submit to Administrative Bank a progress inspections report. Administrative Bank may also retain such other Consultants as Administrative Bank deems necessary or convenient to perform such services as may, from time to time, be required by Administrative Bank in connection with the Loan, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Project.
Neither X.Xxx, nor General Contractor, nor any third party shall have the right to use or rely upon the reports of the Inspecting Architect or any other reports generated by Administrative Bank, any Bank or any Consultant for any purpose whatsoever, whether made prior to or after commencement of construction work with respect to the Improvements.

Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Administrative Bank shall determine reasonably as a result of such inspections that the actual quality or value of the work performed or the materials furnished does not correspond in a material respect with the quality or value of the work required by the Plans, Administrative Bank shall notify X.Xxx of its objections thereto, and, upon demand, X.Xxx shall correct the conditions to which Administrative Bank reasonably objects.

Any request by X.Xxx for an Advance on the Real Estate Loan shall be made at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the requested advance and within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, Administrative Bank shall provide a complete copy of such request for advance to the Banks.
(b) All Advances. Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date of any Advance on the Real Estate Loan pursuant to a request by X.Xxx, Administrative Bank shall give prompt written notice, by facsimile, electronic mail or other means, to each Bank of the anticipated advance, the date of the advance and each Bank’s Percentage thereof. Each Bank, by not later than 12:00 p.m. (Salt Lake City time) on the date of such advance, shall make available to Administrative Bank, in immediately available funds, such Bank’s Percentage of such advance. If Administrative Bank receives each Bank’s portion of the advance on or before 12:00 p.m. (Salt Lake City time) and unless any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied (in which case Administrative Bank will promptly notify X.Xxx in writing of such failure to meet a condition), Administrative Bank will make the amount of the requested advance available to X.Xxx by 1:00 p.m. (Salt Lake City time) on such date.
Unless Administrative Bank shall have been notified by any Bank in writing, prior to the date of an Advance on the Real Estate Loan, that such Bank does not intend to make available to Administrative Bank its Percentage of such Advance, Administrative Bank may (but is not required to) assume that each Bank has made such amount available to Administrative Bank on such date, and Administrative Bank may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to X.Xxx a corresponding amount. Should any Bank fail to make available to Administrative Bank its Percentage of any Advance on the Real Estate Loan required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof (such Bank in such case being a Defaulting Bank), the other Banks shall nevertheless be obligated to make available to Administrative Bank their respective Percentages of the advance, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make available to Administrative Bank such other Bank’s Percentage of any such payment. X.Xxx and any Defaulting Bank jointly and severally agree to repay to Administrative Bank on demand the amount payable by any Defaulting Bank, together with interest thereon at the Loan Rate if paid by X.Xxx and at the rate specified below, if repaid by Defaulting Bank; provided, however, if such Defaulting Bank shall pay to Administrative Bank its Percentage of any Advance on the Real Estate Loan together with interest thereon as provided in this Section, the amount paid shall constitute such Defaulting Bank’s Advance for purposes of this Agreement, and, after such repayment, Defaulting Bank shall again be a Bank for the purposes of this Agreement. So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Bank hereunder, (i) the Defaulting Bank shall pay to Administrative Bank interest (and interest shall accrue and be payable thereon) on Defaulting Bank’s Percentage of such Advance on the Real Estate Loan until such advance is paid to Administrative Bank at a rate equal to the Loan Rate commencing on the date such Advance was to have been made to Administrative Bank, and (ii) it shall not be deemed to be a Bank for the purposes of determining whether all Banks have approved or given their consent to any action, inaction or other matter under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Defaulting Bank be entitled to receive any repayment of its Percentage of any Advances on the Real Estate Loan (or any interest earned thereon) until such time as all Banks which are not Defaulting Banks have received repayment in full of their Real Estate Notes,
together with all interest thereon and other amounts due to such Banks hereunder. In addition to the remedies set forth in this Section 3.8, X.Xxx and Administrative Bank shall be entitled to pursue all other remedies available at law or in equity against any Defaulting Bank.

In consideration of the Commitments, Borrowers further agree jointly and severally to indemnify and defend each Bank (including Administrative Bank) and its directors, officers, agents and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, deficiencies, interest, judgments, costs or expenses incurred by them or any of them, including, but without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any investigation, litigation or other proceeding, arising out of or by reason of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding brought or threatened, arising out of or by reason of their execution of any Loan Document and the transaction contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, any use effected or proposed to be effected by a Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans, but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, deficiencies, interest, judgment, costs or expenses determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Indemnified Party. Any Indemnified Party
seeking indemnification under this Section will notify Borrowers of any event requiring indemnification within thirty (30) Business Days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of notice of commencement of any action or proceeding, or such Indemnified Party’s obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any other event, giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Borrowers will be entitled (but not obligated) to assume the defense or settlement of any such action or proceeding or to participate in any negotiations to settle or otherwise resolve any claim using counsel of its choice; provided that:
(i) Borrowers notify such Indemnified Party in writing that Borrowers will indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against the relevant claim in accordance with the foregoing paragraph;
(ii) such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party;
(iii) such claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief;
(iv) if such Indemnified Party is a Bank or Administrative Bank, settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, such claim is not, in the good faith judgment of such Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of such Indemnified Party;
(v) Borrowers conduct the defense of such claim actively and diligently (to be determined using customary standards for like defenses);
(vi) no conflict of interest has arisen which would prevent counsel for Borrowers from also representing such Indemnified Party because the defendants in any action include both such Indemnified Party and Borrowers; and
(vii) Borrowers will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such claim without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
So long as Borrowers have assumed the defense of such claim and is conducting such defense in accordance with the foregoing, such Indemnified Party: (x) may retain separate co-counsel at their sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such claim; (y) will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such claim without the prior written consent of Borrowers with respect to such claim (not to be withheld unreasonably).
If Borrowers fail to assume such defense in accordance with the foregoing or, after doing so, Borrowers fail to satisfy any of the above conditions to Borrowers’ defense, such Indemnified Party (and its counsel) may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, such claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate (and such Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Borrower in connection therewith) and Borrowers will reimburse such Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the out-of-pocket costs of defending against such claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and Borrowers will remain responsible for any loss which such
Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by such claim to the fullest extent provided for and required by this Agreement.

Notices shall be deemed effective if delivered by counsel to either party, as if given directly by such party. To the extent the Loan Documents require notice or information from one or both of the Borrowers to the Banks, notice or information provided to the Administrative Bank alone shall satisfy such requirements, with Administrative Bank hereby agreeing to forward promptly such notice and information to the Banks.
Any party may change the address to which any such Notice is to be delivered by furnishing ten (10) days prior written notice of such change to the other parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.8. Notices shall be deemed to have been given on the date as set forth above, even if there is an inability to actually deliver any such Notice because of a
changed address of which no Notice was given, or there is a rejection or refusal to accept any Notice offered for delivery.
Section 9.9 Bank’s Sign. Administrative Bank may, if it so desires, place a sign of reasonable size on the Land, and in accordance with Governmental Regulations, at its discretion or otherwise publicize that the Banks are providing financing for the Project.
Section 9.10 No Third Party Reliance. No third party shall be entitled to rely upon this Agreement or to have any of the benefits of Banks’ interest hereunder, unless such third party is an express assignee of all or a portion of Banks’ interest hereunder.
Section 9.11 Sale of Loan or Participations.
The Banks reserve the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, the Banks’ rights and obligations under the Loan Documents subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9.11. In that connection, the Banks may disclose to any potential participant permitted under Section 9.11(b) or any potential assignee permitted under Section 9.11(c) all documents and information the Banks now or hereafter may have relating to the Loan, Borrowers, or their respective businesses, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, any potential participant or assignee has been approved in writing by Administrative Bank in accordance with this Section 9.11.
(a) Any Bank may at any time, after notice to and written consent from Administrative Bank and Borrowers (which respective consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) grant to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitments, in an amount not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and multiples of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) in excess thereof, and any or all of its advances made under the Loans; provided, that the written consent of Administrative Bank shall not be required if said Person is an Eligible Assignee and provided further that Borrowers shall have deemed to have given its consent in the event Borrowers have not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days after receiving a written request for such consent. In addition to the participations permitted by the preceding sentence, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may, after notice to and written consent from Administrative Bank (which consent may be granted or withheld by Administrative Bank in its sole and absolute discretion), but, to avoid all doubt, without any notice to or consent from Borrowers, grant participating interests in the Bank’s Commitments to any Person. In the event of any grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, such Bank will remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower and Administrative Bank will continue to deal solely and directly with that Bank in connection with that Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest must provide that Bank will retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, other than amendments, modifications or waivers that require the consent of all Banks pursuant to Section 10.9 hereof. An assignment or other transfer not permitted by Section 9.11(c) below will be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance
with this subsection, and then only to the extent that such assignment or other transfer satisfies the requirements of this subsection.
(b) Any Bank may at any time, after notice to and written consent from Administrative Bank and Borrowers (which respective consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) assign to one or more Persons (each an “Assignee”) all or a proportionate part of its rights and obligations under the Commitments, this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents which, unless all of such rights are assigned, shall be in an amount not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and multiples of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) in excess thereof, on condition that the Assignee assumes the transferor Bank’s rights and obligations to the extent assigned, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (when fully executed, an “Assignment”) executed by the Assignee and the transferor Bank and acknowledged by Administrative Bank; provided, that the written consent of Administrative Bank shall not be required if said Person is an Eligible Assignee, and provided further that Borrowers shall have deemed to have given its consent in the event Borrowers have not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days after receiving a written request for such consent. In addition to any assignments permitted by the preceding sentence, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may, after notice to and written consent from Administrative Bank (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but, to avoid all doubt, without any notice to or consent from Borrowers, assign all or a proportionate part of its rights and obligations under the Commitments, this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents to any other Person, on condition that the Assignee assumes the transferor Bank’s rights and obligations to the extent assigned pursuant to an Assignment executed by the Assignee and the transferor Bank and acknowledged by Administrative Bank. Borrowers and Banks hereby agree to execute and deliver any documents reasonably requested by Administrative Bank in connection with the sale or assignment contemplated hereby (including one or more replacement Notes).
Upon execution and delivery of the Assignment and payment by the Assignee to the transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between the transferor Bank and the Assignee, the Assignee will be a Bank party to this Agreement and have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with Commitments as set forth in the Assignment, and the transferor Bank will be released from its obligation hereunder to a corresponding extent (except with respect to pre-existing liabilities and obligations), and no further consent or action by any party will be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.11(c), the transferor Bank, Administrative Bank and Borrowers will make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, one or more replacement Notes are issued. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank must pay to Administrative Bank an administrative fee in the amount of $3,500.
(c) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment will release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.
(d) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights will be entitled to receive any greater payment than the transferor Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred.
(e) Except for a participation or assignment by Administrative Bank (whose costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be paid by Borrowers), unless an Event of Default shall exist, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Bank’s expenses in connection with any such participation or assignment.
Section 9.12 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence hereof with respect to the dates, terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 9.13 No Oral Modifications. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
Section 9.14 Captions. The headings or captions of the Articles and Sections set forth herein are for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement and are not to be considered in interpreting this Agreement.
Section 9.15 Borrower-Bank Relationship. The relationship between Borrowers and Banks created hereby and by the other Loan Documents shall be that of a borrower and a lender only, and in no event shall Banks and Administrative Bank be deemed to be a partner of, or a joint venturer with, Borrower.
Section 9.16 Joint and Several Liability. To the extent that any obligation, covenant or representation under any of the Loan Documents is undertaken or made by Borrowers collectively, the obligations of Borrowers with respect to such collective obligation, covenant or representation shall be joint and several.
Section 9.17 Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with GAAP; provided, however that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards Codification Section 000-00-00 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein, or (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Bank or the Required Banks shall so request, the Administrative Bank, the Banks and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (with any such agreement subject to the approval of the Required Banks as well as the approval of the Administrative Bank and the Borrowers), provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and the Borrowers shall provide to the Administrative Bank and the Banks reconciliation statements showing the difference in such calculation,
together with the delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements required hereunder.
ARTICLE X
ADMINISTRATIVE BANK
Section 10.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Bank to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Bank by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Bank shall be a party to each of the Loan Documents (other than the Notes) as secured party, beneficiary, indemnitee, and such other applicable capacities, on behalf of and for the benefit of Banks (and each Bank hereby ratifies and reaffirms the Loan Documents so executed and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof) and hold all collateral covered thereby for the benefit of the Banks, and receive all payments or proceeds received in connection therewith for the undivided benefit and protection of the Banks in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. As soon as practicable after each such receipt of proceeds by Administrative Bank, Administrative Bank shall determine the respective amounts to be distributed in accordance with the Loan Documents and promptly thereafter shall credit to itself the amount to which it is entitled (as Administrative Bank, Bank or otherwise) and wire the amounts to which the other Banks are entitled in accordance with such written instruction as each Bank from time to time may deliver to Administrative Bank. Each Bank shall hold its own Note and shall receive a copy of each Loan Document. Administrative Bank (which term as used in this Section 10.1 shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents) shall not:
(a) have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a fiduciary or trustee for any Bank except to the extent that Administrative Bank acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds, nor shall Administrative Bank have any fiduciary duty to the Borrowers nor shall any Bank have any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or any other Bank;
(b) be responsible to the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by a Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its Obligations hereunder or thereunder;
(c) be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct;
(d) except to the extent expressly instructed in writing by the Required Banks with respect to collateral security under the Loan Documents, be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and
(e) be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Governmental Requirement.
The relationship between and among Administrative Bank and each Bank is a contractual relationship only, and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on Administrative Bank any obligations other than those for which express provision is made herein or in the other Loan Documents. Administrative Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. Administrative Bank may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Bank pursuant to Section 9.11. Except to the extent expressly provided in Sections 10.8, 10.10, 10.11(g), 10.14 and 10.18, the provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of Administrative Bank and the Banks, and the Borrowers shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof and the Administrative Bank and Banks may, pursuant to a written agreement executed by all such Persons, modify or waive such provisions of this Article X in their sole and absolute discretion
Section 10.2 Reliance by Administrative Bank. Administrative Bank shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, document or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Bank. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Bank shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Banks, and such instructions of the Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks.
Section 10.3 Borrower Defaults.
(a) Administrative Bank shall give the Banks notice of any Default of which Administrative Bank has knowledge or notice. Except with respect to (i) the nonpayment of principal, interest or any fees that are due and payable under any of the Loan Documents, (ii) Defaults with respect to which Administrative Bank has actually sent written notice of to the Borrower and (iii) Defaults with respect to which Administrative Bank has entered into discussions with a Borrower, Administrative Bank shall be deemed to not have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default unless Administrative Bank has received notice from a Bank or a Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. If Administrative Bank has such knowledge or receives such a notice from a Borrower or a Bank in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence with respect to the occurrence of a Default, Administrative Bank shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks. Within ten (10) days of delivery of such notice of Default from Administrative Bank to the Banks (or such shorter period of time as Administrative Bank determines is necessary), in the event
Administrative Bank wishes to take any action requiring the consent of Required Banks or all of the Banks (as provided in this Agreement), Administrative Bank and the Banks shall consult with each other to determine a proposed course of action. Administrative Bank shall (subject to Section 10.7) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required Banks or the Banks, as applicable; provided that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 10.9 hereof, Administrative Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action (including decisions (a) to make Protective Advances (subject to the limitation set forth in the definition thereof) that Administrative Bank determines reasonably are necessary to protect or maintain the Project and (b) to foreclose on the Project or exercise any other remedy), with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the interest of the Banks and (ii) no actions approved by the Required Banks shall violate the Loan Documents or any Governmental Requirements.
(b) Each of the Banks acknowledges and agrees that no individual Bank may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Notes) other than through Administrative Bank. Administrative Bank shall advise the Banks of all actions which Administrative Bank takes in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Banks shall at any time direct that a different or additional remedial action be taken from that already undertaken by Administrative Bank, including the commencement of foreclosure proceedings, such different or additional remedial action shall be taken in lieu of or in addition to, the prosecution of such action taken by Administrative Bank; provided that all actions already taken by Administrative Bank pursuant to Section 10.3(a) shall be valid and binding on each Bank.
(c) All money received from any enforcement actions, including the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the Project, shall be applied: first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Bank for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10.3(d), (e) and (f) and 10.5 and to the payment of any fees and charges then due to Administrative Bank to the extent not paid by Borrowers; second, to the Banks for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3(d), (e) and (f) and 10.5; third, to the payment or reimbursement of the Banks for any advances made pursuant to Section 10.3(d); fourth, pari passu to the Banks in accordance with their pro rata percentage of Obligations held by them (excluding those items set forth in first through third and fifth of this subsection (c)), unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 10.11, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Bank and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Bank; and Fifth to repayment of amounts due under any Bank-Provided Hedging Transaction.
(d) All losses with respect to interest (including interest at the Default Rate) and other sums payable pursuant to the Notes or incurred in connection with the Loans, the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor, shall be borne by the Banks in accordance with their respective Percentage. The Banks shall promptly, upon request, remit to Administrative Bank their respective Percentage of (i) any expenses incurred by Administrative Bank in connection with any Default to the extent any expenses have not been paid by the Borrower, (ii) any advances made to pay taxes or insurance or otherwise to preserve the lien of the Loan Documents or to preserve and protect the Project whether or not the amount necessary to be advanced for such purposes exceeds the amount of the respective Commitments of the
Banks, (iii) any other expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, and (iv) any expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the Loans not paid or provided for by the Borrowers. To the extent any such advances are recovered in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, each Bank shall be paid its Percentage of such recovery after deduction of the expenses of Administrative Bank.
(e) If any action is brought to collect on the Notes, foreclose under the Mortgage, or enforce any of the Loan Documents, such action shall (to the extent permitted under applicable law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Bank and the Banks, collectively, to collect on all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Loan Documents, and counsel selected by Administrative Bank shall prosecute any such action on behalf of Administrative Bank and the Banks, and Administrative Bank and the Banks shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. The costs and expenses of foreclosure, to the extent not paid by Borrowers (in accordance with Section 9.2) within ten (10) days after Administrative Bank’s demand therefor, will be borne by the Banks in accordance with their respective Percentages.
(f) If title is acquired to the Project after a foreclosure sale, nonjudicial foreclosure or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, title shall be held by Administrative Bank in its own name in trust for the Banks or, at Administrative Bank’s election, in the name of a wholly owned subsidiary of Administrative Bank on behalf of the Banks.
(g) If Administrative Bank (or its subsidiary) acquires title to the Project or is entitled to possession of the Project during or after the foreclosure, all material decisions with respect to the possession, ownership, development, construction, control, operation, leasing, management and sale of the Project shall be made by Required Banks. All income or other money received after so acquiring title to or taking possession of the Project with respect to the Project, including income from the operation and management of the Project and the proceeds of a sale of the Project, shall be applied: First, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Bank for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10 and to the payment of any fees and charges then due agent to the extent not paid by the Borrowers (in accordance with Section 9.2); Second, to the payment of operating expenses with respect to the Project; Third, to the establishment of reasonable reserves for the operation of the Project as determined by Administrative Bank; Fourth, to the payment or reimbursement of the Banks for any advances made pursuant to Section 10.3(d); Fifth to fund any capital improvement, leasing and other reserves established at the discretion of Administrative Bank; and Sixth, pari passu to the Banks in accordance with their pro rata percentage of Obligations held by them (excluding those items set forth in First through Fifth and Seventh of this subsection (g), unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 10.11, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Bank and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Bank (as defined in Section 10.11), and Seventh to repayment of amounts due under any Bank-Provided Hedge Transaction.
Section 10.4 Rights as a Bank. With respect to its Commitments and the Loans made by it, U.S. Bank (and any successor acting as “Administrative Bank” hereunder) in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Bank, and the term “Bank” or
“Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Bank in its individual capacity as Bank. U.S. Bank (and any successor acting as “Administrative Bank” hereunder) and any of its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any other Bank) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with the Borrowers (and any of their respective Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Administrative Bank, and U.S. Bank (and any such successor) and any of its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from a Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks.
Section 10.5 Indemnification. Each Bank agrees to indemnify Administrative Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower in accordance with Section 9.2, but without limiting the Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder) ratably in accordance with their Percentage, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Bank in its capacity as Administrative Bank (including by any Bank) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein (including the costs and expenses that Borrowers are obligated to pay hereunder in accordance with Section 9.2) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Bank.
Section 10.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Bank and Other Banks. Each Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Bank or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrowers and its decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Bank or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Except as otherwise provided herein, Administrative Bank shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by Administrative Bank hereunder, Administrative Bank shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrowers (or any of their Affiliates) that may come into the possession of Administrative Bank or any of its Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Bank shall not be responsible in any manner to any Bank (or any permitted successor or assign of any Bank), and each Bank represents and warrants that it has not relied upon Administrative Bank for or in respect of, (a) the creditworthiness of Borrowers and the risks involved to such Bank, (b) the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity, or the due execution of any Loan Document, (c) any representation, warranty, document, certificate, report, or statement made therein or furnished thereunder or in connection therewith, (d) the existence, priority, or perfection of any lien granted or purported to be granted under any Loan Document, or (e) the
observation of or compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of Borrowers.
Section 10.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Administrative Bank shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Banks of their indemnification obligations under Section 10.5 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Section 10.8 Resignation of Administrative Bank. It is agreed by the Banks that Administrative Bank shall remain Administrative Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents throughout the term of the Loans; provided, however, Administrative Bank may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days prior notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Bank that shall be a Person that (a) meets the qualifications of an Eligible Assignee and (b) and if such successor Administrative Bank is not a Bank, as long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall have the right to approve such successor Administrative Bank, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If no successor Administrative Bank shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Bank’s giving of notice of resignation of the retiring Administrative Bank, then the retiring Administrative Bank may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Bank, that shall be a Person that meets the requirements of clauses (a) and (b) above, and if such successor Administrative Bank is not a Bank, Borrowers, as long as no Event of Default exists, shall have the right to approve such successor Administrative Bank, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Bank hereunder by a successor Administrative Bank, such successor Administrative Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Bank, and the retiring Administrative Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the retiring Administrative Bank shall not be discharged from any liabilities which existed prior to the effective date of such resignation. After any retiring Administrative Bank’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Bank, the provisions of this Section 10.8 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Bank.
Section 10.9 Consents and Certain Actions under, and Modifications of, Loan Documents. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective unless in writing signed by Required Banks and the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by Administrative Bank (or signed by Administrative Bank with the consent of Required Banks), and such amendment, modification or waiver that would result in any of the following shall not be effective or made without the consent of all Banks if it would result in any of the following: (a) a waiver of any provision regarding the scheduled payment of principal of or interest on a Loan; (b) the postponement of maturity date under a Loan; (c) the reduction or forgiveness of the principal amount of a Loan; (d) a decrease in a Loan Rate under a Loan or the waiver of any interest
(including interest at the Default Rate) thereon, except to the extent permitted in the Loan Documents; (e) a release of a Borrower or a Subsidiary from its obligations under the Loan Documents, or a release of Overstock or other guarantor under the Guaranty from any of its obligations with respect to the Loans (except upon payment in full of the Loan and all other sums due under the Loan Documents); (f) a release of any material portion of the Collateral from the lien of the applicable Loan Documents, except to the extent permitted in the Loan Documents; (g) a waiver of any interest at the Default Rate; (h) a consent to any waiver of the prohibitions on transfer or encumbrance of the Project or ownership interests in X.Xxx; and (i) a modification of the definition of “Required Banks” or the provisions of Article X, or alters the several nature of the Banks’ obligations under the Loan Documents.
If Administrative Bank solicits any consents or approvals from the Banks under any of the Loan Documents, each Bank shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give Administrative Bank written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof (or such shorter time as may be required under the applicable Loan Document for Administrative Bank to respond, in which case Banks shall have the same time period minus one (1) Business Day); provided that if any Bank does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, such Bank shall be deemed to have authorized Administrative Bank to vote such Bank’s interest with respect to the matter which was the subject of Administrative Bank’s solicitation as Administrative Bank elects. Any such solicitation by Administrative Bank for a consent or approval shall be in writing and shall include a description of the matter or thing as to which such consent or approval is requested and shall include Administrative Bank’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.
Section 10.10 Authorization. Administrative Bank is hereby authorized by the Banks to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which Administrative Bank is or is intended to be a party and each Bank agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Bank contained in such Loan Documents.
Section 10.11 Defaulting Banks with Respect to Real Estate Loan.
(a) In addition to the provisions of Section 1.27, if any Defaulting Bank shall for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Advance on the Real Estate Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its Percentage of an Advance on the Real Estate Loan or disbursement to protect the Project or the lien of the Loan Documents on the Project, Administrative Bank and any of the Non-Defaulting Banks may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or a portion of the Defaulting Bank’s Percentage of such advance; provided, however, that Administrative Bank or such Non-Defaulting Bank gives the Defaulting Bank and Administrative Bank three (3) Business Days prior notice of its intention to do so. The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Bank shall be exercisable first by Administrative Bank, and then by the Non-Defaulting Bank holding the greatest Percentage, and thereafter to each of the Non-Defaulting Banks in descending order of their respective Percentage or in such other manner as the Required Banks (excluding the Defaulting Bank) may agree on. Any Bank making all or any portion of a Defaulting Bank’s Percentage of the applicable Advance on the Real Estate Loan in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a “Special Advance Bank”. Subject to a Defaulting Bank’s right to cure as provided in subsection (f), but notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Defaulting Bank’s interest in, and any amounts due to a Defaulting Bank under, the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all principal, interest, fees and expenses) shall be subordinate in lien priority and to the repayment of all amounts (including, without limitation, interest) then or thereafter due or to become due to the other Banks under the Loan Documents, and the Defaulting Bank thereafter shall have no right to participate in any discussions among and/or decisions by the Banks hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents. Further, subject to subsection (f) below, any Defaulting Bank shall be bound by any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Bank and/or the other Banks under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to the Defaulting Bank becoming a Defaulting Bank and, during such period, the Commitments of and outstanding principal amount held by such Defaulting Bank shall be disregarded in any determination requiring the approval of the Banks or the Required Banks hereunder.
(b) In any case where a Non-Defaulting Bank becomes a Special Advance Bank (i) the Special Advance Bank shall, at the election of such Special Advance Bank, be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Bank shall be deemed to have sold, a senior participation in the Defaulting Bank’s Individual Real Estate Commitment to the extent of the amount so advanced or disbursed (the “Advanced Amount”) bearing interest at the applicable Loan Rate (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) and (ii) the Defaulting Bank shall have no voting rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (and its Percentage shall be disregarded in determining whether any act or decision requiring the approval of the Required Banks shall have been approved) so long as it is a Defaulting Bank. It is expressly understood and agreed that each of the respective obligations of the Banks under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including to make Advances on the Real Estate Loan, to share losses incurred in connection with the Real Estate Loan, including costs and expenses of enforcement of the Real Estate Loan, to make advances to preserve the lien of the Mortgage or to preserve and protect the Project or to effect completion of the Improvements to be constructed pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the Percentage occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Bank. The Special Advance Bank shall be entitled to an amount (the “Unpaid Amount”) equal to the applicable Advanced Amount, plus any unpaid interest due and owing with respect thereto, less any repayments thereof made by the Defaulting Bank immediately upon demand. The Defaulting Bank shall have the right to repurchase the senior participation in its Individual Real Estate Commitment from the Special Advance Bank pursuant to subsection (f) below by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.
(c) A Special Advance Bank shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Bank, Administrative Bank and each of the other Banks (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Bank shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advance Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Bank’s senior participation in the Defaulting Bank’s Individual Real Estate Commitment and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Bank, give notice to the Defaulting Bank, Administrative Bank and each of the other Banks of the fact that the Unpaid Amount has been repaid (in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if applicable, the revised percentage of the Special Advance Bank’s senior participation. Provided that Administrative Bank has received notice of such participation, Administrative Bank shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other sums received by Administrative Bank with
respect to a Special Advance Bank’s senior participation as Administrative Bank has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions to the Banks, shall make payments to the Special Advance Bank with respect to a Special Advance Bank’s senior participation in the Defaulting Bank’s Individual Real Estate Commitment out of the Defaulting Bank’s share of any such distributions.
(d) A Defaulting Bank shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Bank all sums of any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Bank from the Borrowers, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the realization of the security therefor until the Unpaid Amount is fully repaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting Bank may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Bank shall be deemed to hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Bank, it being the express intention of the Banks that the Special Advance Bank shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid Amount.
(e) Nothing contained in Section 10.11(a), (f) or (h) shall release or in any way limit a Defaulting Bank’s obligations as a Bank hereunder and/or under any other of the Loan Documents or impair the Borrowers’ right to exercise their remedies against such Defaulting Bank which remedies shall include, without limitation, the recovery of any losses, costs and expenses incurred as a result thereof. Each Defaulting Bank shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Bank and each of the other Banks harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and interest at the Default Rate) which they may sustain or incur by reason of the Defaulting Bank’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent a Defaulting Bank became a Defaulting Bank due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Bank and/or any Bank. Administrative Bank shall, after payment of any amounts due to any Special Advance Bank pursuant to the terms of subsection (c) above, set-off against any payments due to such Defaulting Bank for the claims of Administrative Bank and the other Non-Defaulting Banks pursuant to this indemnity.
(f) A Defaulting Bank may cure a default arising out its failure to fund its Percentage of an Advance on the Real Estate Loan, and subject to the following, upon such cure shall no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank as a result thereof, if, within five (5) days (the “Default Cure Period”) of such default, it pays the full amount of the Unpaid Amount, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such Advanced Amount was so paid by the Special Advance Bank until the date the Special Advance Bank recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in the event such cure is made within three (3) Business Days of such default; provided, however, if such Defaulting Bank fails to cure such default within such three (3) Business Days, the Special Advance Bank shall be entitled to recover, and such Defaulting Bank shall pay, such amount, on demand from Administrative Bank, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on such third (3rd) Business Day until the date the Special Advance Bank recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate for each such day. If a Defaulting Bank pays the Unpaid Amount and interest due thereon within the Default Cure Period (or thereafter with the consent of Administrative Bank), such Defaulting Bank nonetheless shall be bound by any amendment to or waiver of any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Bank and/or the other Banks under, any Loan
Document which is made subsequent to the Bank’s becoming a Defaulting Bank and prior to its curing the default as provided in this Section 10.11(f); provided that such amendment or waiver of action was taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. A Defaulting Bank shall have absolutely no right to cure any default after the expiration of the Default Cure Period unless Administrative Bank, in its sole discretion, elects to permit such cure.
(g) If any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank and none of the other Banks becomes a Special Advance Bank pursuant to Section 10.11(a), the Borrowers shall have the right, provided there exists no Default or Event of Default that has not arisen as a result of the Defaulting Bank’s failure to fund, to cause another financial institution acceptable to Administrative Bank to assume the Defaulting Bank’s obligations with respect to the Advance Amount on the then-existing terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (such replacement institution, a “Replacement Bank”). It shall be a condition to such assumption that the Replacement Bank concurrently assumes the obligations of the Defaulting Bank with respect to the unfunded portion of the Individual Real Estate Commitment of such Defaulting Bank. Such assumption shall be pursuant to a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Bank. Upon such assumption, the Replacement Bank shall become a “Bank” for all purposes hereunder, with an Individual Real Estate Commitment in an amount equal to the Advance Amount, and the Defaulting Bank’s Individual Real Estate Commitment shall automatically be reduced by the Advance Amount. In connection with the foregoing, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Replacement Bank and the Defaulting Bank replacement notes (the “Replacement Notes”). Such Replacement Notes shall be in amounts equal to, in the case of the Replacement Bank’s note, the Advance Amount and, in the case of the Defaulting Bank’s note, its Individual Real Estate Commitment, as reduced as aforesaid. Such Replacement Notes shall constitute “Note” or “Notes” and the obligations evidenced thereby shall be secured by the Mortgage. In connection with the Borrowers’ execution of Replacement Notes as aforesaid, the Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Bank such evidence of the due authorization, execution and delivery of the replacement notes and any related documents as Administrative Bank may reasonably request. The execution and delivery of Replacement Notes as required above shall be a condition precedent to any further Advances. Upon receipt of its Replacement Note, the Defaulting Bank will return to the Borrowers its Note(s) that was replaced; provided that the delivery of a Replacement Note to the Defaulting Bank pursuant to this Section 10.11(g) shall operate to void and replace the Note previously held by the Defaulting Bank regardless of whether or not the Defaulting Bank returns same as required hereby.
(h) In addition to the foregoing, in the event the Defaulting Bank has not cured such default within the Default Cure Period, Administrative Bank (unless the Bank serving in the capacity of Administrative Bank is the Defaulting Bank) and the Non-Defaulting Banks, shall, in accordance with the priority established pursuant to Section 10.11(a) above, be entitled to purchase such Defaulting Bank’s entire Individual Real Estate Commitment, excluding accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal balance of all Advances which have been funded by such Defaulting Bank as of the date of such purchase.
(i) Each Borrower, the Administrative Bank and Banks shall, at the Borrowers’ expense with respect to each Bank’s reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith, execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall, in
the reasonable judgment of Administrative Bank, be necessary in order to effect the substitution of Banks in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.11. The Banks shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrowers’ attempts to obtain a Replacement Bank, but they shall not be obligated to modify the Loan Documents in connection therewith, other than modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.
Section 10.12 Amendments Concerning Agency Functions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Administrative Bank shall not be bound by any modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which affects its duties, rights, and/or functions hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.
Section 10.13 Liability of Administrative Bank. Administrative Bank shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrowers on account of the failure of any Bank (other than Administrative Bank in its capacity as a Bank) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Bank on account of the failure of a Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
Section 10.14 Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of Borrowers or any Bank, Administrative Bank may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Bank hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States so long as such transfer could not reasonably be expected to result in an increased liability of Borrowers under Section 1.28, Section 1.29 or Section 1.32; provided that Administrative Bank shall promptly notify Borrowers and the Banks thereof.
Section 10.15 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain from a Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Bank as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Bank shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by such Borrower to such Bank than the percentage received by any other Bank, it shall promptly purchase from such other Banks participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Bank, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Banks (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Bank in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Banks. To such end, all the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Each Bank agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Bank (for distribution by Administrative Bank to the other Banks in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Banks. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits
of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Bank receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which Section 10.15 applies, then such Bank shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Banks entitled under Section 10.15 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
Section 10.16 Bankruptcy of a Borrower. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to a Borrower, Administrative Bank (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loans shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Bank shall have made any demand on such Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, and shall have the sole and exclusive right, on behalf of the Banks, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks and Administrative Bank (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Banks and Administrative Bank and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due Banks and Administrative Bank under the Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same to Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank to make such payments to Administrative Bank and, in the event that Administrative Bank shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to Administrative Bank any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and Advances of Administrative Bank and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Bank under the Loan Documents.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Bank to authorize or consent to a accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank or the LC Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank or the LC Issuer or authorize Administrative Bank to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank or the LC Issuer in any such proceeding.
Section 10.17 Termination. The rights and obligations of Administrative Bank and the Banks shall terminate when the Obligations (other than contingent obligations) of Borrowers hereunder have been paid and finally discharged in full and the obligations of the Banks to advance funds to the Borrowers under this Agreement are fully terminated. All indemnification provisions in favor of Administrative Bank and Banks herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the termination hereof.
Section 10.18 Confidentiality. The Administrative Bank and each Bank agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from the Borrowers in connection with this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates and to the Administrative Bank and any other Bank and their respective Affiliates, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to the Administrative Bank or such Bank provided such parties have
been notified of the confidential nature of such information, (iii) as provided in Section 9.11 (subject to a written undertaking by each prospective Participant or Assignee to maintain information on terms substantially similar to this Section 10.18), (iv) to regulatory officials, (v) to any Person as requested pursuant to or as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (vi) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which it is a party, (vii) to its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties provided such parties have been notified of the confidential nature of such information, (viii) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Advances hereunder, (ix) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, and (x) to the extent such information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.18 or (2) becomes available to the Administrative Bank, the LC Issuer, the Swing Line Bank or any other Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. The Borrowers agree that the terms of this Section 10.18 shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrowers and the Administrative Bank and each Bank with respect to any confidential information previously or hereafter received by the Administrative Bank or such Bank in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 10.18 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by the Administrative Bank or any Bank with respect to such confidential information.
Section 10.19 No Agency. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Bank shall act solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for a Borrower or any other Person.
Section 10.20 Funds Not Legally Restricted. Except with respect to (a) any cash or deposits that Borrowers may pledge to secure Facility LCs and (b) the rights and remedies of Administrative Bank upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (a) granting Administrative Bank or the Banks a security interest or other collateral interest in or to or a right of offset against (and providing such rights shall only be exercised upon the occurrence of an Event of Default), any cash or cash equivalents or account in which any such cash may be deposited, or (b) requiring Borrowers to maintain Minimum Liquidity of a specified amount, no funds of Borrowers or either of them, whether held by or in any account with Administrative Bank or any Bank or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall be subject to any restriction on any Borrower’s access to or use of any such cash or cash equivalents or account in which any such cash may be deposited.
Section 10.21 Certain Timing Requirements. Unless (a) the provisions of this Agreement indicate a time period for performance or (b) in an instance in which Borrowers or a Borrower are obligated to provide notice of circumstances that would constitute a Default or an Event of Default, in those instances in which a provision of this Agreement requires Borrowers or either Borrower to take action as soon as a Borrower acquires Knowledge of a fact or circumstance, or otherwise purports to require Borrower to take action immediately under circumstances in which it would be impossible for Borrower or Borrowers to do so, such
requirement shall be deemed to require Borrower or Borrowers to take the specified action as promptly as may be practicable under the circumstances.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
Overstock hereby gives to the Administrative Bank a request for borrowing pursuant to Section 1.15 of the Loan Agreement, and Overstock hereby requests to borrow on [ ], 20[ ] (the “Borrowing Date”):

The Project, if constructed substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, will likewise comply with all applicable federal, state and municipal laws, rules and regulations and ordinances of every nature and description relating to the construction and intended use thereof, will not have a negative environmental impact and will meet all current environmental requirements of the City of Midvale, the State of Utah, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
3. I am familiar with the on-the-ground conditions of the Site and the building location, and the condition of the Site are such that all provisions of law relating to the filling, dredging, excavation or other usage of lands classified as wetlands or lands which are subject to periodic flooding or have thereon standing or moving bodies of water are not applicable to the construction of the Project. I have also reviewed the soils report with respect to the Site prepared by dated , and have taken the findings and recommendations contained in said report into consideration in preparing the Plans and Specifications.

Satisfactory methods of access to and egress from the Project and adjoining or nearby public ways are available, sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of the Project and all applicable requirements of public authorities. Sanitary water supply and storm sewer and sanitary sewer facilities and other required utilities (gas, electricity, telephone, etc.) are likewise available, sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of the Projects and all applicable requirements of public authorities, at or within the lot lines of the Site. No easements over land or others are required for such means of access and egress or for any such utilities or if any such easements are required that they have been obtained or will be obtained by Owner or Owner’s representatives; and design conditions are such that no drainage of surface or other water across lands of others is called for or indicated by the Plans and Specifications, except (if none, so state).
5. I have reviewed and am familiar with the locations of all easements, use restrictions, rights-of-way, subsurface rights and the like as shown on the Boundary survey prepared by for dated as to the project and the Plans and Specifications have been so prepared that the Project will not violate or encroach over, across or upon any such easements, use restrictions, rights-of-way or subsurface rights and the like, and the Site is not located in a 100-year Flood Plain or in an identified “flood prone area,” as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.
6. The Project has been designed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the American with Disabilities Act and all other provisions of applicable Utah law relating to the elimination of architectural barriers for the handicapped.

All permits, licenses, certificates and approvals required for the construction and intended use of the Project, including, without limitation, building permits, curb-cut permits, permits relating to the use of utilities, and permits required under the Federal Clean Air Act, as amended, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, and by state laws and regulations consistent with the requirements of said Acts, have been validly issued by the appropriate authorities and are now in full force and effect, except as follows:
In my opinion, the foregoing excepted certificates, permits and approvals will be issued during the ordinary course of construction.
8. Attached hereto, as Schedule “B” is a true, correct and complete copy of our errors and omissions insurance policy, or a certificate thereof, which insurance coverage is in full form and effect.
