required to be paid under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as principal, accrued
interest, fees or other charges, including all reimbursable expenses of the Agents and the
Lenders, shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request for a Revolving Borrowing on the due date of
(provided the Borrowers shall not be deemed to have made any representations under Section
3.2(b) in connection therewith), and in an aggregate amount required to pay, such principal,
accrued interest, fees or other charges, and the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made pursuant
thereto may be dispersed by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligation and shall bear
interest as a Base Rate Borrowing. Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation
to Borrowers to honor any such deemed request for a Revolving Loan, but may do so in their sole
discretion and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any
Default or Event of Default.
Section 2.4 Swingline Commitment.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Loans to the Borrowers, from time to time during the Availability Period, in an
aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Swingline
Commitment then in effect and (ii) the difference between the Aggregate Revolving Commitment
Amount and the lesser of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders or the Borrowing
Base; provided, that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan
to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. The Borrowers shall be entitled to borrow, repay and
reborrow Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
- 40 -
(b) The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of each Swingline Borrowing substantially in the form of
Exhibit 2.4 attached hereto (“
Notice of Swingline Borrowing”) prior to 11:00 a.m.
(Atlanta,
Georgia time) on the requested date of each Swingline Borrowing. Each Notice of
Swingline Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the principal amount of such
Swingline Loan, (ii) the date of such Swingline Loan (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the
account of the Borrowers to which the proceeds of such Swingline Loan should be credited. The
Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of each Notice of Swingline
Borrowing. Each Swingline Loan shall accrue interest at the Swingline Rate. The aggregate
principal amount of each Swingline Loan shall be not less than $100,000 or a larger multiple of
$50,000, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrowers. The
Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of each Swingline Loan available to the Borrowers in
Dollars in immediately available funds at the account specified by the Borrowers in the applicable
Notice of Swingline Borrowing not later than 1:00 p.m. (Atlanta,
Georgia time) on the requested
date of such Swingline Loan.
(c) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, may, on
behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swingline Lender to
act on its behalf), give a Notice of Revolving Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting
the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender) to make Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to the
unpaid principal amount of any Swingline Loan on each Settlement Date or more frequently as the
Swingline Lender may elect. Each Lender will make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in
such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in
accordance with Section 2.7, which will be used solely for the repayment of such Swingline
Loan.
(d) If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole discretion
of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then
each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall purchase an undivided participating interest
in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof on the date that such Base
Rate Borrowing should have occurred. On the date of such required purchase, each Lender shall
promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participating interest to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender. If such Swingline Loan bears
interest at a rate other than the Base Rate,
such Swingline Loan shall automatically become a Base Rate Loan on the effective date of any
such participation and interest shall become payable on demand.
(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make a Base Rate Loan pursuant to
Section 2.4(c) or
to purchase the participating interests pursuant to
Section 2.4(d) shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (i) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any other Person may
have or claim against the Swingline Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of any
Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of any event or
condition which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv)
any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
or any Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening
- 41 -
or event whatsoever, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by
any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof (i) at
the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (ii) at the Base Rate
at all times thereafter. Until such time as such Lender makes its required payment, the Swingline
Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of the unpaid
participation for all purposes of the Loan Documents. In addition, such Lender shall be deemed to
have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans and any other
amounts due to it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund the amount of such Lender’s
participation interest in such Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to fund pursuant to this
Section 2.4, until such amount has been purchased in full.
Section 2.5 Agent Advances.
(a) The Administrative Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to
time in Administrative Agent’s sole credit judgment (and with no obligation to do so), (1) after
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (2) at any time
that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (including
as to Availability) have not been satisfied, or (3) when a Borrower is unable to provide notice of
a Borrowing within the time required by Section 2.3, to make Revolving Loans to Borrowers
on its own behalf that Administrative Agent, in its sole credit judgment deems necessary or
desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the
likelihood of repayment of the Obligations, or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (any of the advances described in this Section 2.5
shall be referred to as “Agent Advances”); provided, however, (w) that the
aggregate amount of Agent Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed $10,000,000, (x) that
after giving effect to any such Agent Advance, the Aggregate Revolver Credit Exposure (including
all Agent Advances) shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount, (y) after giving
effect to each such Agent Advance, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the
Borrowing Base by more than $5,000,000, and (z) at the time of the making of any such Agent
Advance, the Administrative
Agent does not believe, in good faith, that the any Out-of-Formula Condition created by such
Agent Advance will be outstanding for more than 90 days. Each Agent Advance shall be deemed to be
a Borrowing hereunder subject to the terms set forth in this Section 2.5 (provided that
the Borrowers shall not be deemed to have made any representations under Section 3.2(b) in
connection therewith). Each Agent Advance shall be secured by Administrative Agent’s Liens
granted to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, shall constitute Obligations
hereunder, and shall bear interest as Base Rate Borrowings and shall be repayable on demand.
Subject to clauses (b), (c) and (d) below of this Section 2.5, all Agent Advances made by
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, shall be for Administrative Agent’s sole account
and shall be senior in right of payment to all other Loans (as set forth in Section 2.24).
(b) The Administrative Agent may give at any time and from time to time, and in no event
later than 30 days after the making of an Agent Advances the Administrative Agent shall give,
notice to the Lenders requesting the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to the
unpaid principal amount of any Agent Advance on the next following
- 42 -
Business Day. Each Lender will
make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent, which will be used solely for the repayment of
such Agent Advances.
(c) If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole discretion
of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then
each Lender shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such Agent Advances in an amount
equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof on the date that such Base Rate Borrowing should have
occurred. On the date of such required purchase, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in
immediately available funds, the amount of its participating interest to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Administrative Agent. If any such Agent Advance bears interest at a rate
other than the Base Rate, such Agent Advance shall automatically become a Base Rate Loan on the
effective date of any such participation and interest shall become payable on demand.
(d) Each Lender’s obligation to make a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or
to purchase the participating interests pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (i) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any other Person may
have or claim against the Swingline Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or an Out of Formula Condition
or the termination of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged
existence) of any event or condition which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or
event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact
made available to the Administrative Agent in respect of Agent Advances by any Lender, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together
with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof (i) at the Federal
Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (ii) at the Base Rate at all times
thereafter. Until such time as such Lender makes its required payment, the Administrative Agent
shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding
Agent Advances in the amount of the unpaid participation for all purposes of the Loan
Documents. In addition, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of
principal and interest on its Loans and any other amounts due to it hereunder, to the
Administrative Agent to fund the amount of such Lender’s participation interest in such Agent
Advances that such Lender failed to fund pursuant to this Section 2.5, until such amount
has been purchased in full.
Section 2.6 [Reserved].
Section 2.7 Funding of Borrowings.
(a) Each Lender will make available each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer in immediately available funds by noon (Atlanta,
Georgia time) to the
Administrative Agent at the Payment Office;
provided, that the Swingline Loans will be
made as set forth in
Section 2.4. The Administrative Agent will make such
- 43 -
Loans available
to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts that it receives, in like funds by the close of
business on such proposed date, to an account maintained by the Borrowers with the Administrative
Agent or at the Borrowers’ option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts to an account
designated by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to 5:00 p.m.
(Atlanta,
Georgia time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of a Borrowing in which such Lender
is to participate that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent, in
reliance on such assumption, may make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding
amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by
such Lender on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover
such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the Federal Funds
Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such
Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand
therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers, and the Borrowers (to the
extent they received such amount) shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent
within 3 Business Days together with interest at the rate specified for such Borrowing (but
without any amounts being due under
Section 2.20). Nothing in this subsection shall be
deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing
hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result
of any default by such Lender hereunder.
(c) All Revolving Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders on the basis of their respective
Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other
Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make its Loans
provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its
Loans hereunder.
Section 2.8 Interest Elections.
(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such
Borrowing into a different Type or to continue such Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.8. The
Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding
Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be
converted or continued.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this
Section 2.8, the Borrowers shall give the
Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
- 44 -
writing) of
each Borrowing substantially in the form of
Exhibit 2.8 attached hereto (a “
Notice of
Conversion/Continuation”) that is to be converted or continued, as the case may be, (x) prior
to noon (Atlanta,
Georgia time) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of a conversion
into a Base Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) three (3) Business Days
prior to a continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar Borrowing. Each such Notice of
Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which such
Notice of Continuation/Conversion applies and if different options are being elected with respect
to different portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each resulting
Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) shall
be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant
to such Notice of Continuation/Conversion, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) whether the
resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and (iv) if the
resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period applicable thereto after
giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of
“Interest Period”. If any such Notice of Continuation/Conversion requests a Eurodollar Borrowing
but does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month. The principal amount of any resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the
minimum borrowing amount for Eurodollar Borrowings and Base Rate Borrowings set forth in
Section 2.3.
(c) If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Borrowing, the
Borrowers shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/ Continuation, then, unless such
Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert
such Borrowing to a Base Rate Borrowing. No Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a
Eurodollar Borrowing if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have otherwise
consented in writing. No conversion of any Eurodollar Loans shall be permitted except on the
last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.
(d) Upon receipt of any Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting
Borrowing.
Section 2.9 Optional Reduction and Termination of Commitments.
(a) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments, Swingline Commitments and LC
Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
(b) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) at
any time after April 30, 2006, the Borrowers may reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in
part; provided, that (i) any partial reduction shall apply to reduce proportionately and
permanently the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this
Section 2.9 shall be in an amount of at least $20,000,000 and any larger multiple of
$1,000,000, and (iii) no such reduction shall be permitted which would
- 45 -
reduce the Aggregate
Revolving Commitment Amount to an amount less than the outstanding Revolving Credit Exposures of
all Lenders. Any such reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount below the sum of the
principal amount of the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment shall result in a proportionate
reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the Swingline Commitment
and the LC Commitment.
(c) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) the
Borrowers may terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in whole.
Section 2.10 Repayment of Loans.
(a) The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable
(together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
(b) The principal amount of each Swingline Borrowing shall be due and payable (together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
Section 2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate records
evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such
Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid
to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain
appropriate records in which shall be recorded (i) the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii)
the amount of each Loan made hereunder by each Lender, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest
Period applicable thereto, (iii) the date of each continuation thereof pursuant to Section
2.8, (iv) the date of each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another Type pursuant to
Section 2.8, (v) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder in respect of such Loans and
(vi) both the date and amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the
Borrowers in respect of the Loans and each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. The entries made in
such records shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the
Borrowers therein recorded; provided, that the failure or delay of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent in maintaining or making entries into any such record or any error therein
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans (both principal
and unpaid accrued interest) of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) At the request of any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) at any time, the Borrowers
agree that they will execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note and, in the case of
the Swingline Lender only, a Swingline Note, payable to the order of such Lender.
Section 2.12 Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from
time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without
- 46 -
premium or penalty, by giving
irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the
Administrative Agent no later than (i) in the case of prepayment of any Eurodollar Borrowing, noon
(Atlanta, Georgia time) not less than three (3) Business Days prior to any such prepayment, (ii)
in the case of any prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing, not less than one Business Day prior to
the date of such prepayment, and (iii) in the case of Swingline Borrowings, prior to noon (Atlanta,
Georgia time) on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such
prepayment. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due
and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on
the amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.14(e); provided, that if a
Eurodollar Borrowing is prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto, no such prepayment shall be in an amount of less than $500,000 and the Borrowers shall
also pay all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.20 with respect thereto. Each partial
prepayment of any Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be in an amount that would be permitted
in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type pursuant to Section 2.2
or in the case of a Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.4. Each prepayment of a Borrowing
shall be applied ratably to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.
Section 2.13 Mandatory Prepayments.
(a) Immediately upon receipt by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries of proceeds of any
sale or disposition by the Borrowers or such Subsidiary of any of its assets (excluding (i) sales
of inventory in the ordinary course of business, including all sales and transfers of Petroleum
Products under the Marketing Agreement, (ii) sales of obsolete equipment, (iii) sales of assets
the proceeds of which are invested into the businesses of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries
within 180 days after such assets are sold and (iv) so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, other sales of assets of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries with an
aggregate book value not to exceed $1,000,000 in any Fiscal Year) the Borrowers shall prepay the
Loans in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of commissions and other reasonable and
customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and
payable by such Borrowers in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates). Any
such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with paragraph (c) below.
(b) If the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries issues any debt or equity securities (other
than Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.1, equity securities issued by a Subsidiary of
a Borrower to another Borrower or another Subsidiary) then no later than the Business Day
following the date of receipt of the proceeds thereof, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an
amount equal to all such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other
reasonable costs paid to non-Affiliates in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be
applied in accordance with Section 2.13(c).
(c) Any prepayments made by the Borrowers pursuant to
Sections 2.13(a) or
(b) above shall be applied as follows:
first, to Administrative Agent’s fees and
reimbursable
- 47 -
expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second,
to all other fees and reimbursable expenses of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank then due and
payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, pro rata to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank based
on their respective Pro Rata Shares of such fees and expenses; third, to interest then due
and payable on the Loans made to Borrowers, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective
Revolving Commitments; fourth, to the principal balance of the Swingline Loans, until the
same shall have been paid in full, to the Swingline Lender; fifth, to the principal
balance of the Revolving Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, pro rata to the
Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitments; sixth, to cash collateralize the
Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.23(g) in an amount in cash equal to the LC
Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon and seventh, to the Cash
Collateral Account. The Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall not be permanently reduced by
the amount of any prepayments made pursuant to clauses fourth and fifth above.
(d) If at any time the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Aggregate
Revolving Commitment Amount, as reduced pursuant to Section 2.9 or otherwise, the
Borrowers shall immediately repay Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such
excess, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such excess amount and any amounts due
under Section 2.20. Each prepayment shall be applied first to the Swingline
Loans to the full extent thereof, second to the Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof,
and finally to Eurodollar Loans to the full extent thereof. If after giving effect to prepayment
of all Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds
the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to such excess plus any accrued and unpaid fees
thereon to be held as collateral for the LC Exposure. Such account shall be administered in
accordance with Section 2.23(g) hereof.
Section 2.14 Interest on Loans.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay interest on each Base Rate Loan at the Base Rate in effect from
time to time and on each Eurodollar Loan at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable Interest
Period in effect for such Loan, plus, in each case, the Applicable Margin in effect from time to
time.
(b) The Borrowers shall pay interest on each Swingline Loan at the Swingline Rate in effect
from time to time.
(c) While an Event of Default exists or after acceleration, at the option of the Required
Lenders, the Borrowers shall pay interest (“Default Interest”) with respect to all
Eurodollar Loans at the rate otherwise applicable for the then-current Interest Period plus an
additional 2% per annum until the last day of such Interest Period, and thereafter, and with
respect to all Base Rate Loans (including all Swingline Loans) and all other Obligations hereunder
(other than Loans), at the rate in effect for Base Rate Loans, plus an additional 2% per annum.
- 48 -
(d) Interest on the principal amount of all Loans shall accrue from and including the date
such Loans are made to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof. Interest on all
outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar
month and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, as the case may be. Interest on all
outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable
thereto, and, in the case of any Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period in excess of three
months or 90 days, respectively, on each day which occurs every three months or 90 days, as the
case may be, after the initial date of such Interest Period, and on the Revolving Commitment
Termination Date. Interest on each Swingline Loan shall be payable on the maturity date of such
Loan, which shall be the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and on the Revolving
Commitment Termination Date. Interest on any Loan which is converted into a Loan of another Type
or which is repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such conversion or on the date of
any such repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. All Default Interest
shall be payable on demand.
(e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans
hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of such rate in
writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(f) The Base Rate on the date hereof is 8.25% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest
in effect hereunder on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 8.50% per annum
with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans bearing interest as a Base Rate Loan. The
Swingline Rate on the date hereof is 8.25% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in
effect hereunder on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 8.50% per annum with
respect to Swingline Loans.
Section 2.15 Fees.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the
amounts and at the times agreed upon in the Fee Letter.
(b) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Percentage per annum (determined daily in
accordance with Schedule I) on the daily amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such
Lender during the Availability Period. For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to
the Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed used to the
extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure, but not Swingline Exposure, of such
Lender.
(c) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each
Lender, a letter of credit fee with respect to its participation in each Letter of Credit, which
shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans then in
effect on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of
Credit during the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but
excluding the date on which such Letter of Credit expires or is drawn in full (including without
limitation any LC Exposure that remains outstanding after the Revolving
- 49 -
Commitment Termination
Date) and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the
rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion
thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the Availability Period (or until
the date that such Letter of Credit is irrevocably cancelled, whichever is later), as well as the
Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Required Lenders elect to increase the interest rate on the Loans to the Default Interest pursuant
to Section 2.14(c), the rate per annum used to calculate the letter of credit fee pursuant
to clause (i) above shall automatically be increased by an additional 2% per annum.
(d) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each
Lender, the upfront fee previously agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent,
which shall be due and payable on the Closing Date.
(e) Accrued fees under paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on December 31, 2006 and on
the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (and if later, the date the Loans and LC Exposure shall
be repaid in their entirety); provided further, that any such fees accruing after
the Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall be payable on demand.
(f) The Borrowers shall pay audit, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges as follows (each
of which shall be for the sole benefit of the applicable Agent relating thereto): (i) a fee of
$850 per day, per auditor, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for each financial audit of
Borrowers performed by personnel employed by the Administrative Agent, (ii) if implemented, a fee
of $850 per day, per applicable individual, plus out-of-pocket expenses for the establishment of
electronic collateral reporting systems, (iii) a fee of $850 per day per appraiser, plus
out-of-pocket expenses, for each appraisal or field audit of the Collateral, or any portion
thereof, performed by personnel employed by the Collateral Agent, and (iv) the actual reasonable
charges paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable (for the
sole benefit of such Agents) if it elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons to
perform financial audits of Borrowers or a Subsidiary, to establish electronic collateral
reporting systems, to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or to assess a Borrower’s
or its Subsidiaries’ business valuation; provided, however, that so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall only be obligated to pay for fees
and expenses incurred for financial and/or field audits conducted no more frequently than three
(3) times per calendar year in the aggregate (it being understood that simultaneously conducted
financial and field audits shall be considered as a single audit for purposes of the foregoing
limitation).
Section 2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees.
All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360
days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring
in the period for which such interest or fees are payable (to the extent computed on the basis of
days elapsed). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest amount or
- 50 -
fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final,
conclusive and binding for all purposes.
Section 2.17 Inability to Determine Interest Rates. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing,
(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the
relevant interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such
Interest Period, or
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that
the Adjusted LIBO Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or
Lender, as the case may be) of making, funding or maintaining their (or its, as the case may
be) Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in
writing) to the Borrowers and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. In the case of
Eurodollar Loans, until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that
the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to
make Eurodollar Revolving Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar
Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans
on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrowers prepay
such Loans in accordance with this Agreement. Unless the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent
at least one Business Day before the date of any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing for which a Notice
of Revolving Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, then
such Revolving Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.
Section 2.18 Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any
Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan and such Lender shall so notify the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrowers
and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of
such Lender to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or
into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, such Lender’s Revolving Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same
Revolving Borrowing for the same Interest Period and if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then
outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the
then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that
it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such date (provided that no amount
shall be due under Section 2.20 in connection therewith). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a
different Applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice
and if such designation would not
- 51 -
otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its
discretion.
Section 2.19 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate
hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any
Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the
Issuing Bank; or
(ii) impose on any Lender or on the Issuing Bank or the Eurodollar interbank market any
other condition affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any
Letter of Credit or any participation therein;
and the result of either of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making,
converting into, continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender
or the Issuing Bank of participating in or issuing any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount
received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or any other amount), then the Borrowers shall promptly pay, upon written notice from and demand
by such Lender on the Borrowers (with a copy of such notice and demand to the Administrative
Agent), to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, within 20 calendar days after
the date of such notice and demand, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.
(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that on or after the date of this
Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital (or on the capital of
such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender
or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation could have achieved
but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies
or the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation with respect to capital
adequacy) then, from time to time, within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt by the Borrowers
of written demand by such Lender (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers
shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
parent corporation, as the case may be, specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section
2.19 shall be delivered to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay any such Lender or the
- 52 -
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such amount or amounts within twenty (20) calendar days
after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided Borrowers shall have no obligation to
pay any such amounts with respect to any period which was more than 120 days prior to the date of
such notice.
Section 2.20 Funding Indemnity. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as
a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan other
than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by the Borrowers
to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any applicable
notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, the
Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from
such Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar
Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to
be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal
amount of such Eurodollar Loan if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable
to such Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then
current Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for
the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over (B) the amount
of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period
if the Adjusted LIBO Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid or converted or the
date on which the Borrowers failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar Loan. A
certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section 2.20 submitted to the
Borrowers by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.
Section 2.21 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;
provided, that if the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.21) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (as the
case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
- 53 -
(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing
Bank, within five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of
the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.21) and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers
by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of
a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 2.21(c), the Borrowers shall not be obligated to
indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank for any portion of such
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses to the extent such liability is attributable to a
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, in
making demand for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the Code or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to payments under
this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the
time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Foreign Lender agrees that it will deliver to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation
shall have been purchased), as appropriate, two (2) duly completed copies of (i) Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the payments received from
the Borrowers hereunder are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a trade
or business in the United States; or (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor
form thereto, certifying that such Foreign Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments
of interest; or (iii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by
the Internal Revenue Service, together with a certificate (A) establishing that the payment to the
Foreign Lender qualifies as “portfolio interest” exempt from U.S. withholding tax under Code
section 871(h) or 881(c), and (B) stating that (1) the Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes
of Code section 881(c)(3)(A), or the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder is not, with
respect to such Foreign Lender, a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade
or business, within the meaning of that section; (2) the Foreign Lender is not a 10% shareholder
of any Borrower within the meaning of Code section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B); and (3) the Foreign
Lender is
- 54 -
not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to a Borrower within the meaning of Code
section 881(c)(3)(C); or (iv) such other Internal Revenue Service forms as may be applicable to
the Foreign Lender, including Forms W-8 IMY or W-8 EXP. Each such Foreign Lender shall deliver to
the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent such forms on or before the date that it becomes a
party to this Agreement (or in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant
purchases the related participation). In addition, each such Foreign Lender shall deliver such
forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such
Foreign Lender. Each such Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent at any time that it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide
any previously delivered certificate to the Borrowers (or any other form of certification adopted
by the Internal Revenue Service for such purpose).
(f) Upon the Borrowers’ reasonable request, each Lender that is a “United States person” as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor
form) to establish that such Lender is entitled to receive all payments from the Borrowers
hereunder free and clear from withholding of United States federal income Tax.
(g) If the Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.21(a) or required to indemnify the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.21(c) and if
the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank may be entitled to a refund which is
attributable to the imposition of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to the payment of
additional amounts or an indemnification payment, then the Administrative Agent, such Lender or
the Issuing Bank shall use its best effort to obtain the refund by filing any forms, certificates,
documents, applications or returns in a timely fashion. In the event that the Administrative
Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank receives a refund in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as
to which it has been paid additional amounts by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.21(a)
or been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the Issuing Bank shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such refund.
Section 2.22 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of
principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under
Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon (Atlanta,
Georgia time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of any
defenses, rights of set-off, counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of taxes. Any amounts
received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed
to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office,
except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided
herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21
and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent
shall
- 55 -
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due
on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made
payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then
due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then
due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such
parties.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans that would result in such Lender receiving
payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations
in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received
by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline Loans; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or
any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the
Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment
obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of
its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant,
other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of
this paragraph shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it
may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to
the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the
Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or
the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent
may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, the amount or amounts due. In such event,
- 56 -
if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.4(d), 2.7(b), 2.22(d), 2.23(d) or (e) or
10.3(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.23 Letters of Credit.
(a) During the Availability Period, the Issuing Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of the
other Lenders pursuant to Section 2.23(d), agrees to issue, at the request of the
Borrowers, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth; provided, that (i) each Letter of Credit shall expire on the
earlier of (A) the stated expiry date of such Letter of Credit (or in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof, the expiry date of any such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five
(5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; (ii) each Letter of Credit
shall be in a stated amount of at least $1,000,000; and (iii) the Borrowers may not request any
Letter of Credit, if, after giving effect to such issuance (A) the aggregate LC Exposure would
exceed the LC Commitment or (B) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders would
exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount or the Borrowing Base. Upon the
issuance of each Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank without recourse a participation in such
Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize
the Revolving Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation.
(b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or any amendment, renewal or extension of
an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrowers shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative
Agent irrevocable written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of
such issuance specifying the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of Credit is to be
issued (or amended, extended or renewed, as the case may be), the expiration date of such Letter
of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof
and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of
Credit. In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions in Article III, the issuance of
such Letter of Credit (or any amendment which increases the amount of such Letter of Credit) will
be subject to the further conditions that such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain
such terms as the Issuing Bank shall approve and that the Borrowers shall have executed and
delivered any additional applications, agreements and instruments
- 57 -
relating to such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require;
provided, that in the event of any conflict between such applications, agreements or
instruments and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(c) At least two Business Days prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing
Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received such notice and if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the
Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the
Administrative Agent on or before 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date the
Issuing Bank is to issue the requested Letter of Credit (1) directing the Issuing Bank not to
issue the Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted hereunder because of the
limitations set forth in Section 2.23(a) or that one or more conditions specified in
Article III are not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue such Letter of Credit in accordance with the
Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices.
(d) The Issuing Bank shall examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment
under a Letter of Credit promptly following its receipt thereof. The Issuing Bank shall notify
the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank
has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to give or
delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to such LC Disbursement. The Borrowers shall be
irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursements
paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such drawing, without presentment, demand or other
formalities of any kind. Unless the Borrowers shall have notified the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the Business Day immediately
prior to the date on which such drawing is honored that the Borrowers intend to reimburse the
Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing in funds other than from the proceeds of Revolving
Loans, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Revolving Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make a Base Rate Borrowing on the date on which
such drawing is honored in an exact amount due to the Issuing Bank; provided, that for
purposes solely of such Borrowing, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2
hereof shall not be applicable. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3, and each Lender shall make the proceeds of its
Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.7. The proceeds of such Borrowing shall be
applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such LC
Disbursement.
(e) If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole discretion
of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then
each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) shall be obligated to fund the participation that such
Lender purchased pursuant to subsection (a) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such LC
Disbursement on and as of the date which such Base Rate Borrowing should have occurred. Each
Lender’s obligation to fund its participation shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or
- 58 -
any other Person may have against the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries , (iv) any breach of this Agreement by
the Borrowers or any other Lender, (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing. On the date that such participation is required to be funded, each Lender shall
promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank. Whenever, at any time after the Issuing
Bank has received from any such Lender the funds for its participation in a LC Disbursement, the
Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) receives any payment on account thereof,
the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, will distribute to such Lender
its Pro Rata Share of such payment; provided, that if such payment is required to be
returned for any reason to the Borrowers or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or
similar official in any bankruptcy proceeding, such Lender will return to the Administrative Agent
or the Issuing Bank any portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Bank to it.
(f) To the extent that any Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant
to paragraph (d) above on the due date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest to the Issuing
Bank (through the Administrative Agent) on such amount from such due date to the date such payment
is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate; provided, that if such Lender
shall fail to make such payment to the Issuing Bank within three (3) Business Days of such due
date, then, retroactively to the due date, such Lender shall be obligated to pay interest on such
amount at the rate set forth in Section 2.14(d).
(g) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the
Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the
deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account
with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date
plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon; provided, that the obligation to deposit such
cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due
and payable, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 8.1. Such deposit
shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Borrowers
agree to execute any documents and/or certificates to effectuate the intent of this paragraph.
Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made
at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and
expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments
shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative
Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it had not been reimbursed and
to the extent so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of
the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, with the consent of
- 59 -
the Required Lenders, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of
cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to
the extent not so applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business
Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
(h) Promptly following the end of each calendar quarter, the Issuing Bank shall deliver
(through the Administrative Agent) to each Lender and the Borrowers a report describing the
aggregate Letters of Credit outstanding at the end of such Fiscal Quarter. Upon the request of
any Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Lender any other information
reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding.
(i) The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements hereunder shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any of the following
circumstances:
(i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement;
(ii) The existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrowers or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary or
any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such
beneficiary or transferee may be acting), any Lender (including the Issuing Bank) or any
other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any
document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) Any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect;
(iv) Payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or other document to the Issuing Bank that does not comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit;
(v) Any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.23, constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder; or
(vi) The existence of a Default or an Event of Default.
Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders nor any Related Party of any of the
foregoing shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the
issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment
thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to above), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication
- 60 -
under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing
thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes
beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed
to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any actual direct
damages (as opposed to special, indirect (including claims for lost profits or other consequential
damages), or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the
extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s
failure to exercise due care when determining whether drafts or other documents presented under a
Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree, that in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have
exercised due care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that
appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the
contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in
strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(j) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for
Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, as the
same may be amended from time to time, or to ISP 98 (International Standby Practices), as the same
may be amended from time to time, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the governing law
of this Agreement set forth in Section 10.5.
Section 2.24 Application of Payments.
(a) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24(b) below, all payments and any other
amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrowers shall be
applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the
Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on
behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such
Lender or the Borrowers, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and third, as
the Borrowers so designate. Payments in respect of Swingline Loans received by the Administrative
Agent shall be distributed to the Swingline Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans
received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with its
Pro Rata Share; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation
shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuing Bank as are entitled thereto and, for
such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and
all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding Section 2.24(a)
above, the Administrative Agent may and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Required
Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations, shall apply
- 61 -
all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral
Account and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:
(i) first, to pay interest on and the principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans
that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may have advanced on behalf of any
Lender for which the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has not then been reimbursed
by such Lender or the Borrowers;
(ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities
(except with respect to Banking Relationship Debt) then due to the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent;
(iii) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities
(except with respect to Banking Relationship Debt) then due to the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank;
(iv) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees (except with respect to Banking
Relationship Debt) then due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
Issuing Bank;
(v) fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and LC Exposure
and fees due to any Lender;
(vi) sixth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans and LC Exposure, to provide
cash collateral for the LC Exposure in the manner described in Section 2.23(g)
(provided, however, that upon the expiration or termination of a Letter of Credit that has
been cash collateralized such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2.24(b)), ratably to the aggregate principal amount of
such Loans and LC Exposure;
(vii) seventh, to the ratable payment of Obligations owing with respect to Banking
Relationship Debt; and
(viii) eighth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations;
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in
respect of any Secured Obligation described in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi),
(vii) and (viii) above the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligations
(unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations
ratably, based on the proportion of the Agents’ and each Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s interest in the
aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses; provided, however, that payments that
would otherwise be allocated to the Lenders shall be allocated first to repay Agent Advances and
Swingline Loans pro rata and then to the Lenders.
Section 2.25 Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.19, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21, then
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office
- 62 -
for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.19
or Section 2.21, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender
to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The
Borrowers hereby agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such
designation or assignment.
Section 2.26 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
2.19, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority of the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21, or if any
Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrowers may, at their sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent delivered within 30
days after the request for compensation or payment or the default by such Lender, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
set forth in Section 10.4(b) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement
to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender); provided,
that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) within 60 days after receipt of such notice,
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of
all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and
from the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of a claim for
compensation under Section 2.19 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section
2.21, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender
shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of
a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 2.27 Agent Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Delek Refining, and
Delek Refining agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of itself and
each other Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement (in such capacity, “Borrower Agent”),
including requesting Borrowings, selecting whether any Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest
as a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, and receiving account statements and other
notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from an Agent. The Agents may rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, on any request for a Borrowing, Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, disbursement instructions, reports, information, Borrowing Base
Certificate or any other notice or communication made or given by Borrower Agent, whether in its
own name, on behalf of any Borrower or on behalf of “Borrowers,” and no Agent shall have any
obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower
as to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such request for a Borrowing, Notice of Conversion
Continuation, instruction, report, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or other notice or
communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers’ liability for the
Obligations be affected, provided that the provisions of this Section 2.27 shall not be
construed so as to preclude any Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other
actions
- 63 -
permitted to be taken by “a Borrower” hereunder. The Administrative Agent may maintain a single
Loan Account in the name of “Delek Refining” hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees to such
arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several
character of such Borrower’s liability for the Obligations.
Section 2.28 Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.
(a) Each Borrower shall be liable for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees
the timely payment by all other Borrowers of, all of the Loans and other Obligations, regardless
of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Loans or other extensions of
credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which Administrative Agent
or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, it
being acknowledged and agreed that Loans to any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all
Borrowers and that the Agents and the Lenders are relying on the joint and several liability of
Borrowers in extending the Loans and other financial accommodations hereunder. Each Borrower
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that upon default in the payment when due (whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest owed on, any of
the Loans or other Obligations, such Borrower shall forthwith pay the same, without notice or
demand.
(b) Each Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of,
the Loans and other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be
unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any
of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the
Obligations, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Loan
Party or any Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce
the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by an
Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing or securing the
payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other
Borrower and delivered to an Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure by an Agent to take any steps
to perfect or maintain the perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to
preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of
any of the Obligations or an Agent’s release of any Collateral or of its Liens upon any
Collateral, (v) an Agent’s or Lenders’ election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy
Code, for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or
grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of
the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the liability of any
Loan Party for the payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any amendment or modification of any
of the Loan Documents or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, (ix) any increase in the
amount of the Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees
or other charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the same, (x) the
disallowance of all or any portion of an Agent’s or any Lender’s claims against any other Loan
Party for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or
(xi) any other circumstance that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any
Borrower. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice to any Loan Party, against
any or all of the Loan
- 64 -
Parties to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding
against any other Loan Party or against any Collateral or other security for the payment or
performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any provision under applicable law
that might otherwise require an Agent to pursue or exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or
a Loan Party before pursuing another Loan Party . Each Borrower consents and agrees that no Agent
shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or against or in
payment of any or all of the Obligations.
(c) No payment or payments made by a Loan Party or received or collected by an Agent from a
Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation
or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations
shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower under
this Agreement, each of whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and
performance of all Loans and other Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full and this
Agreement is terminated.
(d) Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and
several obligor under this Agreement. If, as of any date, the aggregate amount of payments made
by a Borrower on account of the Obligations and proceeds of such Borrower’s Collateral that are
applied to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Loan proceeds actually used by such
Borrower in its business (such excess amount being referred to as an “Accommodation Payment”),
then each of the other Borrowers (each such Borrower being referred to as a “Contributing
Borrower”) shall be obligated to make contribution to such Borrower (the “Paying Borrower”) in an
amount equal to (A) the product derived by multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of
each Borrower by the Allocable Percentage of the Borrower from whom contribution is sought
less (B) the amount, if any, of the then outstanding Accommodation Payment of such
Contributing Borrower (such last mentioned amount which is to be subtracted from the aforesaid
product to be increased by any amounts theretofore paid by such Contributing Borrower by way of
contribution hereunder, and to be decreased by any amounts theretofore received by such
Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder); provided, however, that a
Paying Borrower’s recovery of contribution hereunder from the other Borrowers shall be limited to
that amount paid by the Paying Borrower in excess of its Allocable Percentage of all Accommodation
Payments then outstanding of all Borrowers. As used herein, the term “Allocable Percentage” shall
mean, on any date of determination thereof, a fraction the denominator of which shall be equal to
the number of Borrowers who are parties to this Agreement on such date and the numerator of which
shall be 1; provided, however, that such percentages shall be modified in the
event that contribution from a Borrower is not possible by reason of insolvency, bankruptcy or
otherwise by reducing such Borrower’s Allocable Percentage equitably and by adjusting the
Allocable Percentage of the other Borrowers proportionately so that the Allocable Percentages of
all Borrowers at all times equals 100%.
(e) Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment,
subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any other Loan Party ,
and any successor or assign of any other Loan Party , including any trustee, receiver or
debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter
existing, to the full and indefeasible payment of all of the Obligations.

hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by any other information so furnished)
contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, taken as a whole, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.

Section 4.13 Labor Relations. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. There are no strikes, lockouts or other material labor disputes or
grievances against the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries , or, to the Borrower’s knowledge,
threatened against or affecting the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries , and no significant
unfair labor practice, charges or grievances are pending against the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries , or to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against any of them before any
Governmental Authority. All payments due from the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries pursuant
to the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement have been paid or accrued as a liability
on the books of the Borrowers or any such Subsidiary, except where the failure to do so would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 4.14 Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.14 sets forth the name of, the ownership
interest of the Borrowers in, the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of, and the type
of, each Subsidiary and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case as
of the Closing Date.
Section 4.15 Insolvency. After giving effect to the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents and the making of the Loans under this Agreement, neither the Borrowers nor any of their
Subsidiaries will be “insolvent,” within the meaning of such term as defined in § 101 of Title 11
of the United States Code, as amended from time to time, or be unable to pay its debts generally as
such debts become due, or have an unreasonably small capital to engage in any business or
transaction, whether current or contemplated.
Section 4.16 Subordination of Subordinated Debt.
This Agreement, and all amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals, refinancings and
refundings hereof, constitute the “Senior Credit Agreement” within the meaning of the applicable
Subordinated Debt Document; this Agreement, together with each of the other Loan Documents and all
amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals, refinancings and refundings hereof and thereof,
constitute “Senior Loan Documents” within the meaning the applicable Subordinated Debt Document;
and the Revolving Loans and all other Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Notes and all other Loan Documents, and all
amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals, refundings or refinancings of any of the foregoing
constitute “Senior Indebtedness” of the Borrowers within the meaning of the applicable Subordinated
Debt Document, and the holders thereof from time to time shall be entitled to all of the rights of
a holder of “Senior Indebtedness” pursuant to the applicable Subordinated Debt Document.
Section 4.17 Accounts Agents may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible
Accounts, on all statements and representations made by Borrowers with respect to any Account.
Unless otherwise indicated in writing to Agents or excluded by Borrowers in their calculation of
the Borrowing Base in any Borrowing Base Certificate, with respect to each Account, each Borrower
warrants that:
(a) It is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be, and it is not evidenced by a
judgment;
- 71 -
(b) It arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of goods by a Borrower in the
Ordinary Course of Business and substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions of all
purchase orders, contracts or other documents relating thereto and forming a part of the contract
between a Borrower and the Account Debtor;
(c) It is for a sum certain maturing as stated in the duplicate invoice covering such sale, a
copy of which has been furnished or is available to Administrative Agent on request;
(d) Such Account, and Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, is not, and will not
(by voluntary act or omission of a Borrower or Delek Marketing) be in the future, subject to any
offset, Lien, deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim or any other adverse condition except for
disputes resulting in returned goods where the amount in controversy is immaterial, and each such
Account is absolutely owing to a Borrower and is not contingent in any respect or for any reason;
(e) Neither Borrower nor Delek Marketing has made any agreement with any Account Debtor
thereunder for any extension, compromise, settlement or modification of any such Account or any
deduction therefrom, except discounts or allowances which are granted by a Borrower in the
Ordinary Course of Business for prompt payment and which are reflected in the calculation of the
net amount of each respective invoice related thereto and are reflected in the Schedules of
Accounts submitted to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.6(a) hereof;
(f) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences which
are reasonably likely to impair the validity or enforceability of such Account or reduce in any
material respect the amount payable thereunder from the face amount of the invoice and statements
delivered to Administrative Agent with respect thereto; and
(g) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, the Account Debtor thereunder (1) had the
capacity to contract at the time any contract or other document giving rise to the Account was
executed and (2) is solvent.

blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001

payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party,
candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain,
retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
ARTICLE V
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Each Borrower covenants and agrees that so long as any Lender has a Commitment hereunder or
any Obligation remains unpaid or outstanding:
Section 5.1 Financial Statements and Other Information. The Borrower will deliver to the
Agents and each Lender:
(a) as soon as available and in any event within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of
Borrowers, (i) the annual audited report for such Fiscal Year for the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries, containing a consolidated balance sheet of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as
of the end of such Fiscal Year and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows (together with all footnotes thereto) of the
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year, setting forth in each case in comparative
form the figures for the previous Fiscal Year, all in reasonable detail and reported on by Ernst&
Young or other independent public accountants reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent
(without a “going concern” or like qualification, exception or explanation and without any
qualification or exception as to scope of such audit) to the effect that such financial statements
present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and the results of operations of
the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year on a consolidated and consolidating
basis in accordance with GAAP and that the examination by such accountants in connection with such
consolidated financial statements has been made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards; provided, however, that so long as Delek US Holdings is required to file and has timely
filed a 10-K with the SEC, such filing will be deemed to satisfy the foregoing covenant (unless
such filings contain a “going concern” or like qualification, exception or explanation and unless
such filings contain a qualification or exception as to scope of such audit), and (ii) the
unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as of the end of such
Fiscal Year and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows
of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year, setting forth in each case in
comparative form the figures for the previous Fiscal Year, and certified by a Responsible Officer.
(b) as soon as available and in any event within 60 days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter
of the Borrowers, an unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheet of the Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter and the related unaudited consolidated and
consolidating statements of income and cash flows of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for such
Fiscal Quarter and the then elapsed portion of such
- 73 -
Fiscal Year, setting forth in each case in
comparative form the figures for the corresponding quarter and the corresponding portion of
Borrowers’ previous Fiscal Year;
(c) as soon as available and in any event within 30 days after the end of each month, an
unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheet of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as
of the end of such month and the related unaudited consolidated and consolidating statements of
income and cash flows of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for such month and the then elapsed
portion of such Fiscal Year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the
corresponding month and the corresponding portion of Borrowers’ previous Fiscal Year, when
applicable;
(d) concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in clauses (a),
(b) and (c) above, a Compliance Certificate signed by (x) one of the principal executive officer,
the principal financial officer or treasurer and (y) any other Responsible Officer of the
Borrowers;
(e) concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in clause (a)
above, any management letters issued by the accounting firm in connection with such financial
statements;
(f) no later than 30 days after the commencement of each Fiscal Year, deliver to the Agents
Projections for such Fiscal Year; and
(g) promptly following any request therefor, such other information regarding the results of
operations, business affairs and financial condition of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary as the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may reasonably request.
Section 5.2 Lien Perfection. Promptly upon the request of an Agent, the Borrowers will
execute all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, and amendments and continuation
statements thereto, provided for by applicable law together with any and all other instruments,
assignments or documents and shall take such other action as may be required to perfect or continue
the perfection of the Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks) security interest in the Collateral. The Borrowers hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent to execute and file any such financing statement on the Borrowers’ behalf to
the extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 5.3 Location of Collateral; Consignment of Inventory. All Collateral, other than
Inventory in transit and Inventory sold in the Ordinary Course of Business, will at all times be
kept by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries at one or more of the business locations of Borrowers
or their Subsidiaries set forth in Schedule 5.3. The Inventory shall not, without the
prior written approval of the Agents, be moved therefrom except as permitted in the immediately
preceding sentence and so long as no Event of Default exists, (i) sales or other dispositions of
assets permitted pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof and (ii) the storage of Inventory at
locations within the continental United States other than those specified in the first sentence of
this Section 5.3 if (A) Borrowers give the Agents written notice of the new storage
location outside of (x) the state, or (y) if the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in such state
has a county filing requirement, the county, in which it is currently stored at least
- 74 -
thirty (30)
days prior to storing Inventory at such location, (B) the Administrative Agent’s security interest
in such Inventory is and continues to be a duly perfected, first priority Lien thereon, and (C)
neither the Borrowers’ nor an Agent’s right of entry upon the premises where such Inventory is
stored or its right to remove the Inventory therefrom, is more restricted than at the prior
location of such Inventory.
Section 5.4 Protection of Collateral. All insurance expenses and expenses of protecting,
storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the Collateral (including,
without limitation, all rent payable by Borrowers to any landlord of any premises where any of the
Collateral may be located), and any and all excise, property, sales, and use taxes imposed by any
state, federal, or local authority on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof,
shall be borne and paid by Borrowers. If Borrowers fail to promptly pay any portion thereof when
due, the Lenders may, at their option, after notice to the Borrowers, but shall not be required to,
make a Base Rate Revolving Loan for such purpose and pay the same directly to the appropriate
Person; provided that Borrowers shall not be deemed to have made any representations under
Section 3.2(a) in connection therewith. Borrowers agree to reimburse the Lenders promptly
therefor with interest accruing thereon daily at the Default Interest rate provided in this
Agreement. All sums so paid or incurred by the
Lenders for any of the foregoing and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, reasonable legal expenses, and court costs) which the Lenders may incur in
enforcing or protecting the Lien on or rights and interest in the Collateral or any of their rights
or remedies under this or any other agreement between the parties hereto or in respect of any of
the transactions to be had hereunder until paid by Borrowers to the Lenders with interest at the
Default Interest rate, shall be considered Obligations owing by Borrowers to the Lenders hereunder.
Such Obligations shall be secured by all Collateral and by any and all other collateral, security,
assets, reserves, or funds of Borrowers in or coming into the hands or inuring to the benefit of
the Lenders. Neither the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be liable
or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage
thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in the Lenders’
actual possession) or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any
warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever, but the same shall be at the
Borrowers’ sole risk.
Section 5.5 Assignments and Records of Accounts. If so requested by an Agent following an
Event of Default and for so long as the same shall be continuing, the Borrowers shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent formal written assignments of all of the Accounts weekly
(unless the Collateral Agent requests that such assignments be executed and delivered more
frequently), which shall include all Accounts that have been created since the date of the last
assignment, together with copies of invoices or invoice registers related thereto. Borrowers shall
keep accurate and complete records of the Accounts and all payments and collections thereon.
Section 5.6 Administration of Accounts.
(a) Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and
complete records of its Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit to the
Collateral Agent on such periodic basis as the Collateral Agent shall request a sales and
- 75 -
collections report for the preceding period, in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;
provided that Collateral Agent shall not request such report more than once during any 30 day
period for so long as no Event of Default exists. Each Borrower shall also provide to the
Collateral Agent on or before the 20th day of each month, (i) a detailed aged trial balance of all
Accounts existing as of the last day of the preceding month, specifying the names, addresses, face
value, dates of invoices and due dates for each Account Debtor obligated on an Account so listed
(“Schedule of Accounts”), (ii) upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, copies of proof of
delivery and a copy of all documents, including repayment histories and present status reports
relating to the Accounts so scheduled, (iii) a reconciliation of the Borrowers’ Accounts aging
report to the Borrowers’ general ledger and applicable Borrowing Base Certificates delivered to
the Collateral Agent and (iv) such other matters and information relating to the status of then
existing Accounts as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request. In addition, if Accounts in
an aggregate face amount in excess of $1,500,000 cease to be Eligible Accounts in whole or in
part, Borrowers shall notify the Collateral Agent of such occurrence promptly (and
in any event within 2 Business Days) after any Borrower’s having obtained knowledge of such
occurrence and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence.
(b) Discounts, Disputes and Returns. If any Borrower grants any discounts,
allowances or credits that are not shown on the face of the invoice for the Account involved, such
Borrower shall report such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be to the Collateral
Agent as part of the next required Schedule of Accounts. If any amounts due and owing in excess
of $1,500,000 are in dispute between any Borrower and any Account Debtor, or if any returns are
made in excess of $1,500,000 with respect to any Accounts owing from an Account Debtor, such
Borrower shall provide the Collateral Agent with written notice thereof at the time of submission
of the next Schedule of Accounts, explaining in reasonable detail the reason for the dispute or
return, all claims related thereto and the amount in controversy. At any time an Event of Default
exists, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to settle or adjust all disputes and claims
directly with the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of
any Accounts comprising a part of the Collateral upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral
Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs and expenses thereof, including
attorneys’ fees, to Borrowers. Borrowers shall not permit Delek Marketing to grant any discounts,
allowances or credits as to any Account which Borrowers would not otherwise be permitted to grant
under this Section 5.6(b), provided that such discounts, allowances or credits are either shown on
the face of the invoice for the Account involved or such discounts, allowances or credits, as the
case may be, are reported by the Borrowers to the Collateral Agent as part of the next required
Schedule of Accounts.
(c) Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes payable to
any Governmental Authority, and unless the Borrowers are diligently contesting the payment of such
Taxes in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been set
aside on Borrowers’ books, the Administrative Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, upon
notice to the Borrowers and after the Borrowers’ failure or inability to pay such Tax, to pay such
Tax (without duplication of other payments made with respect to any such Tax), the amount thereof
to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor;
provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes
that may be due by Borrowers.
- 76 -
(d) Account Verifications. For so long as an Event of Default exists, the Collateral
Agent shall have the right, in the name of the Collateral Agent, any designee of the Collateral
Agent or any Borrower to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts
of such Borrower by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise, provided that from and after
any date on which the Excess Availability Conditions are not satisfied (and thereafter until the
Reinstatement Conditions are satisfied), Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time or
times, in the name of the Collateral Agent, any designee of the Collateral Agent or any Borrower,
to conduct such verifications whether or not an Event of Default exists, provided,
further, that the Collateral Agent will endeavor in good faith to notify the Borrowers
after any such request for verification, but the Collateral Agent shall have no liability, nor
shall the Borrowers have any recourse against the Collateral Agent, in the event the Collateral
Agent fails to so notify the Borrowers. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with the Collateral Agent
in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.
(e) Maintenance of Dominion Account. The Borrowers shall maintain a Dominion Account
at SunTrust (or such other bank acceptable to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to arrangements
acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall issue to SunTrust an irrevocable
letter of instruction directing such bank to deposit all payments or other remittances received in
the Dominion Account. Borrowers shall enter into agreements, in form satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, with each bank at which a Dominion Account is maintained by which such bank
shall immediately transfer to the Cash Collateral Account all monies deposited to the Dominion
Account. All funds deposited in each Dominion Account shall be subject to the Administrative
Agent’s Lien. Borrowers shall obtain the agreement (in favor of and in form and content
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) by each bank at which a Dominion Account is maintained
to waive any offset rights against the funds deposited into such Dominion Account, except offset
rights in respect of charges incurred in the administration of such Dominion Account. Neither
Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility to Borrowers for such Dominion Account, including
any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank
thereunder.
(f) Collection of Accounts and Proceeds of Collateral. To expedite collection, each
Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection of such Borrower’s Accounts for
the Administrative Agent and Lenders. Borrowers shall request in writing and otherwise take such
reasonable steps to ensure that all Account Debtors forward payment directly to such Dominion
Account (or other collection arrangements related to the Dominion Account), and deposit and cause
its Subsidiaries to deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the
first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all cash, checks, drafts or other similar
items of payment relating to or constituting payments made in respect of any and all Collateral
(whether or not otherwise delivered to pursuant to such collection arrangements) into the Dominion
Account. Borrowers shall issue to each bank servicing such collection arrangements an irrevocable
letter of instruction directing such bank to deposit all payments or other remittances received by
it to the Dominion Account. All Payment Items received by any Borrower in respect of its
Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held by such Borrower as
trustee of an express trust for the Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ benefit; such Borrower
shall immediately deposit same in kind in the Dominion Account.
- 77 -
(g) Application of Proceeds; Cash Collateral Account. The balance in each Dominion
Account shall be swept at least once on each Business Day to a Cash Collateral Account maintained
at SunTrust. If at any time there are any Loans outstanding, or any other Obligations which are
then due and payable, (i) for so long as no Event of Default exists the Administrative Agent shall
apply the balance of any Cash Collateral Account as the Borrowers may direct to the repayment of
such Loans or other Obligations or (ii) if the Borrowers have not so directed the Administrative
Agent or at any time an Event of Default exists, the Borrowers authorize the Administrative Agent
to apply the balance in a Cash Collateral Account as the Administrative Agent may elect, in
repayment of such Loan or other Obligation; provided, however, that in the event
that the Administrative Agent elects to apply such amount (or a portion thereof) in repayment of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, such amount shall at the Borrowers’ option, in lieu of being applied in
repayment of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, be held by the Administrative Agent for application to
such Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or otherwise applied to
Borrowers’ obligations under Section 2.20. The
Borrowers agree that each Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, funds on deposit in any Cash
Collateral Account, after application to any outstanding Loans or other Obligations shall be
invested only in cash and Permitted Investments, which shall be made at any time when no Event of
Default exists at the direction of the Borrowers. At any time when an Event of Default exists
each Lender maintaining a Cash Collateral Account, at the direction of the Administrative Agent,
shall promptly remit all funds in the Cash Collateral Account maintained by such Lender to a Cash
Collateral Account maintained at SunTrust as the Administrative Agent shall designate. Without
limiting the foregoing, for so long as an Event of Default exists, all sums held in a Cash
Collateral Account may be held in cash or may be invested in such Permitted Investments as the
Administrative Agent alone may elect. Neither of the Borrowers nor any Person claiming on behalf
of or through a Borrower shall have any right to demand payment of any funds held in any Cash
Collateral Account at any time prior to the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the
payment in full of all then outstanding and payable monetary Obligations and termination of the
Revolving Credit Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall be
authorized to apply all funds and Permitted Investments in a Cash Collateral Account as provided
in Section 2.24(b) and the Loan Documents.
(h) Notification of Account Debtors. The Administrative Agent retains the right at
all times after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to notify Account Debtors of
any Borrower that Accounts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent and to collect Accounts
directly in its own name and to charge to Borrowers the collection costs and expenses incurred by
the Agents, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
(i) Limitations on Bank Accounts. Except as otherwise disclosed in this Agreement,
the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall not open any deposit account unless the depository bank
for such deposit account is a Lender that has entered into a Deposit Account Control Agreement
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. As of the Closing Date, all bank accounts of
any nature of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries are listed on Schedule 5.6 and such
Schedule designates which such accounts are deposit accounts.
Section 5.7 Administration of Inventory.
- 78 -
(a) Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete
records of its Inventory (including records showing the cost thereof and daily withdrawals
therefrom and additions thereto) and shall furnish the Collateral Agent inventory reports
respecting such Inventory in form and detail satisfactory to the Collateral Agent at such times as
the Collateral Agent may request, but so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, no more frequently than once each week unless the Collateral Agent shall elect to
receive such reports on a more frequent basis (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
certain items noted in Schedule IV, shall only be updated on a weekly basis). Each
Borrower shall, at its own expense, conduct a physical inventory no less frequently than annually
(and on a more frequent basis if requested by the Collateral Agent when an Event of Default
exists) and periodic cycle counts consistent with such Borrower’s historical practices and shall
provide to
the Collateral Agent a report based on each such physical inventory and cycle count promptly
after completion thereof, together with such supporting information as the Collateral Agent shall
request. The Agents may participate in and observe each physical count or inventory, which
participation shall be at Borrowers’ expense at any time that an Event of Default exists.
(b) Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any of its Inventory to a
supplier or vendor thereof, or any other Person, whether for cash, credit against future purchases
or then existing payables, or otherwise, unless (i) such return is in the Ordinary Course of
Business of such Borrower and such Person; (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
or would result therefrom; (iii) the return of such Inventory will not result in an Out-of-Formula
Condition; (iv) such Borrower promptly notifies the Collateral Agent thereof if the aggregate
value of all Inventory returned in any month exceeds $1,500,000; and (v) any payments received by
such Borrower in connection with any such return are promptly turned over to the Administrative
Agent for application to the Obligations.
(c) Acquisitions and Sale of Inventory. No Borrower shall acquire or accept any
Inventory on consignment or approval. No Borrower shall sell any Inventory to any customer on
approval or any other basis upon which the customer has a right to return (except if
non-conforming) or obligates any Borrower to repurchase such Inventory.
(d) Maintenance of Inventory. Borrowers shall produce, use, store and maintain all
Inventory with all reasonable care and caution in accordance with applicable standards of any
insurance and in conformity with Applicable Law (including the requirements of the FLSA) and will
maintain current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided for in leases) at all
locations at which any Inventory is maintained or stored.
- 79 -
Section 5.8 Marketing Agreement; Etc. The Administrative Agent hereby consents to Delek
Refining entering into the Marketing Agreement and the Services Agreement, provided that such
consent shall not be deemed to modify in any respect the obligations of Borrowers under this
Section 5 or elsewhere in this Agreement with respect to the Accounts or any other
Collateral. Borrowers shall comply in all material respects with the terms and provisions of the
Qualified Marketing Documents having application to Borrowers and notify the Administrative Agent
promptly of any material non-compliance, unreasonable delay or other default of which written
notice was issued or received by a Borrower at any time occurring under any of such documents.
Section 5.9 Borrowing Base Certificates. For so long as the Excess Availability Conditions
are satisfied Borrowers shall deliver to the Collateral Agent (and the Collateral Agent shall, on
request from a Lender, promptly deliver to such Lender) a Borrowing Base Certificate as of the
18th day and the last Business Day of each month, in each case for the semi-monthly
period ending not more than two (2) Business Days earlier. At any date after the Excess
Availability Conditions are not satisfied (and thereafter until the Reinstatement Conditions are
satisfied), Borrowers shall deliver to the Collateral Agent (and the Collateral Agent shall, on
request from a Lender, promptly deliver to such Lender) a
Borrowing Base Certificate weekly as of each Wednesday (or the next Business Day) in respect of the
prior week, or at such more frequent intervals as the Collateral Agent may request (provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, certain items as noted in Schedule IV, shall only be updated
on a weekly basis). All calculations of Availability in connection with any Borrowing Base
Certificate shall originally be made by the Borrowers and certified by a Responsible Officer to the
Agents, provided that the Agents shall have the right to review and adjust, in the exercise of
their credit judgment, any such calculation (i) to reflect their reasonable estimate of declines in
value of any of the Collateral described therein and (ii) to the extent that such calculation is
not in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the amount of the Availability
Reserve. No less frequently than bi-weekly, a Borrowing Base Certificate shall indicate, without
limitation, the Account Debtors of a Borrower who are also creditors of Mapco and the availability
on any applicable date of Mapco under its working capital credit facility for purposes of the
Agents’ determination of the applicability and extent of the Mapco Reserve.
Section 5.10 Notices of Material Events. The Borrowers will furnish to each Agent prompt
written notice, upon a Responsible Officer’s obtaining actual knowledge, of any of the following:
(a) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;
(b) the filing or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by or before any arbitrator
or Governmental Authority against or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, affecting the Borrowers
or any Subsidiary which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect;
(c) the occurrence of any event or any other development by which the Borrowers or any of
their Subsidiaries (i) fails to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply
with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) becomes
subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) receives notice of
- 80 -
any claim with respect to any
Environmental Liability, or (iv) becomes aware of any basis for any Environmental Liability and in
each of the preceding clauses, which individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(d) the occurrence of any ERISA Event that alone, or together with any other ERISA Events
that have occurred, would reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding $100,000;
(e) the occurrence of any default or event of default, or the receipt by Borrowers or any of
their Subsidiaries of any written notice of an alleged default or event of default, in respect of
any Material Indebtedness of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries;
(f) the entering into by a Borrower of any Exchange Agreement and the material terms of such
agreement;
(g) any material transaction with an Affiliate of a Borrower, whether or not in the Ordinary
Course of Business;
(h) any material claim made or asserted by a Borrower against the Seller or by the Seller
against a Borrower in connection with the Acquisition;
(i) the receipt by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries of any notice of material
non-compliance with or violation of any applicable federal, state or local law, statute or

Subsidiaries to, pay and discharge at or before maturity, all of their obligations and liabilities
(including without limitation all tax liabilities and claims that could result in a statutory Lien)

thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) the Borrowers or such
Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with

the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause that the interest of the Administrative Agent
shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of the Borrowers or owner of the
Collateral nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by
said policy. If Borrowers fail to provide and pay for such insurance, the Administrative Agent may,
at Borrowers’ expense, procure the same, but shall not be required to
do so. The Borrowers agree to deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly as rendered, true
copies of all reports made in any reporting forms to insurance companies at the Administrative
Agent’s request.

Business Days preceding any repayment date, (ii) after giving effect to such repayments there will
be not less than $2,000,000 of Availability for five (5) consecutive Business Days thereafter,
(iii) the aggregate amount of such repayments do not exceed the amount of the Subordinated Working
Capital Indebtedness plus interest and other fees at a rate not to exceed 10 % per annum in the
aggregate, and (iv) no Default or Event of Default exists. Amounts repaid in respect of
Subordinated Working Capital Indebtedness, to the extent

permitted under the provisions of this
Section 5.19, shall be deemed applied first to that portion of the Subordinated Working
Capital Indebtedness voluntarily incurred by the Borrowers, to the extent thereof, and next to
Subordinated Working Capital Indebtedness incurred to satisfy the requirements of this Section

agreement or instrument evidencing or governing such Indebtedness; or any other event shall occur
or condition shall exist under any agreement or instrument relating to such Indebtedness and shall
continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreement or instrument, if
the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate, or permit the acceleration of, the
maturity of such Indebtedness; or any such Indebtedness shall be declared to be due and payable,
or required to be prepaid or redeemed (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment or
- 91 -

Indebtedness shall be required to be made, in each case prior to the stated maturity thereof; or

ARTICLE IX
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 9.1 Appointment of Agents.
(a) Each Lender irrevocably appoints SunTrust Bank as the Administrative Agent and as the
Collateral Agent and authorizes each to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all such actions and powers that are
reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any
of their duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through any one or more
sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the either. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of their duties and
exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions set forth in this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact and the
Related Parties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, any such sub-agent and any
such attorney-in-fact and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent.
(b) The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit
issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as the
Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the Issuing Bank
with respect thereto; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall have all the benefits and immunities
(i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or
proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to
the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article
included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided
in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Bank.
- 93 -
Section 9.2 Nature of Duties. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent
shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b)
neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except those discretionary rights and
powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that either Agent is required to exercise in
writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2), and (c) except as expressly
set forth in the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by an
Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the
Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its sub-agents or
attorneys-in-fact with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 10.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither
the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or
Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express
reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of Default” hereunder) is given to an Agent by
the Borrowers or any Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection
with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document,
(iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to an Agent. The Agents may consult with legal counsel
(including counsel for the Borrower) concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
Section 9.3 Lack of Reliance on the Agents. Each of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and
the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or
any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders, the Swingline
Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking of any action under or
based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 9.4 Certain Rights of the Agents. If an Agent shall request instructions from the
Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including
- 94 -
the failure to act) in connection
with this Agreement, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act,
unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders; and such Agent shall not
incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no
Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against either Agent as a result of such Agent
acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required
Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.
Section 9.5 Reliance by Agents. The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement,
instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
made by the proper Person. The Agents may also rely upon any statement made to them orally or by
telephone and believed by them to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. The Agents may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the
Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by them and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by them in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts.
Section 9.6 The Agents in their Individual Capacity. Any bank or other financial
institution serving as an Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any
other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain
from exercising the same as though it were not an Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required
Lenders”, “holders of Notes”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise
indicates, include each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in their individual
capacities. Any bank acting as an Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
of the Borrowers as if it were not an Agent hereunder.
Section 9.7 Successor Agents.
(a) An Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the
Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent, subject to the approval by the Borrowers provided that no Event of Default shall
exist at such time. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the
retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent,
which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any
state thereof or a bank or a commercial finance lender which maintains an office in the United
States, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.
(b) Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If within 45 days after
written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation under this
Section 9.7 no
successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such
45
th day (i) the retiring Agent’s resignation shall become effective,
- 95 -
(ii) the retiring
Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and
(iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the
Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided
above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and its representatives and agents in
respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as an Agent.
Section 9.8 Authorization to Execute other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes
each Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents other than this Agreement.
Section 9.9 Documentation Agent; Syndication Agent. Each Lender hereby designates The CIT
Group/Business Credit, Inc. and National City Business Credit, Inc. as Co-Documentation Agents and
agrees that the Co-Documentation Agents shall have no duties or obligations, as such, under any
Loan Documents to any Lender or any Loan Party. Each Lender hereby designates Bank of America,
N.A. and PNC Bank, National Association as Co-Syndication Agents and agrees that the Co-Syndication
Agents shall have no duties or obligations, as such, under any Loan Documents to any Lender or any
Loan Party.
Section 9.10 BSI Report; Reconciliation to Borrowing Base. Upon the Agents’ receipt of the
BSI Report, they shall promptly reconcile such report to the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate
and deliver such reconciliation to the Lenders.

- 97 -
Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and
other communications to any Person shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery, or
faxed, be effective the next day after presentation to an overnight courier for
overnight (next-day) delivery, or transmitted in legible form by facsimile machine,
respectively, or if mailed, upon the fifth Business Day after the date on which the same
is deposited with the US Postal Service by certified or registered mail or if delivered,
upon delivery; provided, that notices delivered to the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank shall not be effective until
actually received by such Person at its address specified in this Section 10.1.
(b) Any agreement of the Agents and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by
telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrowers. The
Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a
Person authorized by the Borrowers to give such notice and the Agents and Lenders shall not have
any liability to the Borrowers or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the
Agents or the Lenders in good faith reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The
obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans and all other Obligations hereunder shall not be
affected in any way or to any extent by any failure of the Agents and the Lenders to receive
written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by an Agent and the
Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the such Agent and the
Lenders to be contained in any such telephonic or facsimile notice.
Section 10.2 Waiver; Amendments; Out-of-Formula Loans.
(a) No failure or delay by an Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right
or power hereunder or any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and
the Agents or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right or power or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such
right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right
or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.2, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of
Default, regardless of whether an Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.
(b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
nor consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless
the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or the Borrowers
and the Agents with the consent of the Required Lenders and then
- 98 -
such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided, that no amendment or waiver shall: (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without
the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment
of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or interest thereon or any fees
hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled
date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the written consent of each
Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.22(b) or (c) in a manner that would
alter the pro rata sharing of payments required
thereby , without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of
this Section 10.2, Section 2.24, Section 5.19 or the definitions of
“Availability Reserve”, “Borrowing Base”, Pro Rata Share” or “Required Lenders” (or other defined
terms used in such definitions) in a manner more favorable to the Borrowers or any other
provisions hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive,
amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder,
without the consent of each Lender; (vi) release any guarantor or limit the liability of any such
guarantor under any guaranty agreement, without the written consent of each Lender; (vii) enforce
the Administrative Agent’s rights under the Pledge Agreement, without the consent of each Lender;
(viii) release a material portion of the Collateral except as provided in this Agreement or agree
to subordinate any Lien in the Collateral to any other creditor of a Borrower or any Subsidiary,
without the written consent of each Lender; or (ix) consent or agree to any material amendment to
the Subordination Agreement without the consent of each Lender; provided further, that no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of an
Agent, the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Person.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended and
restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrowers and the Agents)
if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party
to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have
terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 10.3), such Lender shall no other commitment or
other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other
amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.
(c) Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
may require the Lenders to honor requests by the Borrowers for Out-of-Formula Loans (in which
event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
Section 2.1 or elsewhere
in this Agreement, the Lenders shall continue to make Revolving Loans up to their respective
Revolving Commitment) and to forbear from requiring the Borrowers to cure an Out-of-Formula
Condition, (1) when no Default exists (or if a Default exists, when the existence of such Default
is not known by the Administrative Agent), if and for so long as (i) such Out-of-Formula Condition
does not continue for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, following which no Out-of-Formula
Condition exists for at least 15 consecutive days before another Out-of-Formula Condition exists,
(ii) the amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at any time does not exceed the
aggregate of the Revolving Commitments at such time, and (iii) the Out-of-Formula Condition is not
known by the Administrative Agent at the time in question to exceed $10,000,000; and (2)
regardless of
- 99 -
whether or not an Event of Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers the
existence of an Out-of-Formula Condition not previously known by it to exist or if any
Out-of-Formula Condition exists by reason of the making of any Agent Advance, the Lenders shall be
obligated to continue making such Revolving Loans as directed by the Administrative Agent only (A)
if the amount of the Out-of-Formula Condition is not increased by more than $7,500,000 above the
amount determined by the Administrative Agent to exist on the date of discovery thereof and (B)
for a period not to exceed 5 Business Days; provided that at no time shall the aggregate
amount of all such Out-of-Formula Loans exceed $15,000,000. In no event shall the Borrowers or
any other Loan Party be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Section 10.2(c) or authorized
to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 10.2(c).
(d) Each Lender grants to the Administrative Agent the right to purchase all (but not less
than all) of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, LC Commitment, the Loans and LC Exposure owing to
it and the Notes held by it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents at a price equal to the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans and LC Exposure owed
to such Lender (together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees owed to such Lender), which
right may be exercised by the Administrative Agent if such Lender refuses to execute any
amendment, waiver or consent which requires the written consent of all Lenders and to which the
Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrowers have agreed. Each Lender agrees that
if the Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder, it shall promptly execute and deliver
an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and other agreements and documentation necessary to
effectuate such assignment. The Administrative Agent may assign its purchase rights hereunder to
any assignee if such assignment complies with the requirements of Section 10.4(b).
Section 10.3 Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel
for the Agents and their Affiliates, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities
provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments,
modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement
or any other Loan Document shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside
counsel and the allocated cost of inside counsel) incurred by the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this
Agreement, including its rights under this Section 10.3, or in connection with the Loans
made or any Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred
during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
(b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the
Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being
called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the
- 100 -
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all reasonable fees and time charges and
disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or
asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby,
the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing
Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii)
any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or
operated by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries , or (iv) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrowers or any
other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrowers or any
other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrowers or such Loan Party has obtained a
final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(c) The Borrowers shall pay, and hold the Agents and each of the Lenders harmless from and
against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes with respect
to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any collateral described therein, or any payments
due thereunder, and save the Agents and each Lender harmless from and against any and all
liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.
(d) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid to an Agent,
the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under clauses (a), (b) or (c) hereof, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may
be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed
expense or indemnified payment, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be,
was incurred by or asserted against such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such.
(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in
connection with or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
- 101 -
contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated therein, any Loan or any Letter of Credit
or the use of proceeds thereof.
(f) All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable promptly after written
demand therefor.
Section 10.4 Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no
Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans
at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it
or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of
the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment of a
Revolving Loan or reimbursement obligation of outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the
Administrative Agent shall consent thereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or
the Commitment assigned and (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee
of $1,000, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Upon (i) the execution and delivery of the
Assignment and Acceptance by the assigning Lender and assignee Lender, (ii) acceptance and
recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section
10.4, (iii) consent thereof from the Borrowers to the extent required pursuant to this clause
(b) and (iv) compliance by such assignee with Section 2.21(e) or Section 2.21(f),
as applicable, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the
Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of
- 102 -
Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 10.3). Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section
10.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Assignee will be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 than the applicable Assignor
would have been entitled to receive had such assignment not occurred.
(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers,
shall maintain at one of its offices in Atlanta, Georgia a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, an Agent, the
Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance
of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Swingline Bank, the Issuing Bank and
the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant
to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver with respect to the following to the extent affecting such Participant: (i) increase the
Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal
amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the
date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or
interest thereon or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment,
or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the
written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.22(b) or
(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby,
without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section
10.4 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the
number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder
or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender; (vi)
release any guarantor or limit the liability of any such guarantor under any guaranty agreement
without the written consent of each Lender except to the extent such release is expressly provided
under the terms of the Guaranty
- 103 -
Agreement; or (vii) release all or substantially all collateral (if any) securing any of the
Obligations. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.4, the Borrowers agree that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, and
2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4, provided that such Participant agrees to
be bound by and subject to the provisions of each such section as though it were a Lender. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
10.7 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
10.7 as though it were a Lender.
(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.19 and Section 2.21 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive
with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.21 unless the Borrowers are notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.21(e) or Section 2.21(f), as applicable, as
though it were a Lender.
(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no
such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.
Section 10.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and be
governed by the law (without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State
of Georgia.
(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Northern
District of Georgia, and of any state court of the State of Georgia located in Xxxxxx County and
any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or
for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be
heard and determined in such Georgia state court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
- 104 -
(c) Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding described in
paragraph (b) of this Section 10.5 and brought in any court referred to in paragraph (b)
of this Section 10.5. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.
Section 10.6 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO
HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Section 10.7 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Lender and the Issuing Bank
shall have the right, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply
against all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of the Borrowers at
any time held or other obligations at any time owing by such Lender and the Issuing Bank to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any and all Obligations held by such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, irrespective of whether such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall
have made demand hereunder and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender and the
Issuing Bank agree promptly to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers after any such
set-off and any application made by such Lender and the Issuing Bank, as the case may be; provided,
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 10.8 Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of
the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and
all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
This Agreement, the Fee Letter, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreement(s)
relating to any fees payable to the
- 105 -
Administrative Agent constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto regarding
the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral
or written, regarding such subject matters.
Section 10.9 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by
the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto
and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and
issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or
on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may
have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any
credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal
of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement
is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments
have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.19, 2.20,
2.21, and 10.3 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and
effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. All representations and warranties made
herein, in the certificates, reports, notices, and other documents delivered pursuant to this
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.
Section 10.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting
the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the
illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each
Lender agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of any
information designated in writing as confidential and provided to it by the Borrowers or any
Subsidiary, except that such information may be disclosed (i) subject to provisions substantially
similar to this Section 10.11, to any Related Party of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any such Lender, including without limitation accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors, (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority, (iv) to
the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section 10.11, or which becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank, any Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a
source other than the Borrowers, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, and
(vi) subject to provisions substantially similar to this Section 10.11, to any actual or
prospective assignee or Participant, or (vii) with the consent of the Borrower. Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for in this Section
- 106 -
10.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such information as such
Person would accord its own confidential information.
Section 10.12 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other
amounts which may be treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a Lender holding such Loan in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.12 shall be cumulated and the
interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such
Lender.
Section 10.13 Waiver of Effect of Corporate Seal. Each Borrower represents and warrants
that neither it nor any other Loan Party is required to affix its corporate seal to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document pursuant to any requirement of law or regulation, agrees that this
Agreement is delivered by Borrowers under seal and waives any shortening of the statute of
limitations that may result from not affixing the corporate seal to this Agreement or such other
Loan Documents.
Section 10.14 Posting of Electronic Communications; Viewing of Accounts.
(a) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers agree that the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic
Communications available to the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank by
posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar
electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission
system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured
with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the
Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall
and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured
through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the
Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-to-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuing
Bank and the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an
electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other
risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other
benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Borrowers hereby approves
- 107 -
distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic
Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(C) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM ARE
PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS
AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR
REPRESENTATIVES (THE “AGENT AFFILIATES”) WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF
THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC
COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS,
IMPLIED OR STATUTORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM
VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS) IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ITS AFFILIATES IN
CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
(d) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers agree that the
Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be
obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic
Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document
retention procedures and policies.
(e) The Borrowers hereby grant to the Collateral Agent access to the Borrowers’ Cash
Collateral and Dominion Accounts maintained at SunTrust through SunTrust’s on-line platforms
for the sole purpose of viewing the account balance reporting and other transactions
affecting such accounts. If the Collateral Agent shall at any time notify the
Administrative Agent that such access has been denied, terminated or limited, SunTrust shall
be authorized to grant such access to the Collateral Agent, but SunTrust shall have no
liability to the Borrowers for granting such access nor any liability for the Collateral
Agent’s misuse, mistakes or misconduct in connection therewith.
Section 10.15 Transitional Provisions.(f)
(a) On the Closing Date, this Agreement shall supersede the Existing Credit Agreement
in its entirety, except as provided in this Section 10.15. On the Closing Date, the
rights and obligations of the parties evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement shall be
evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the “Loans” as defined in the
Existing Credit Agreement shall be converted to Loans as defined herein and the Letters of
Credit issued by the Issuing Bank for the account of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit
Agreement shall be converted into Letters of Credit under this
- 108 -
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent
necessary, the Existing Lenders and the Agents reserve all their rights under the Existing
Credit Agreement and each of the Borrowers hereby obligates itself again in respect of all
present and future Obligations under, inter alia, the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended
and restated by this Agreement.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, the Existing Lenders
under the Existing Credit Agreement will promptly return to the Borrowers, marked
“Substituted” or “Cancelled”, as the case may be, any notes held by the Existing Lenders
pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement.
(c) The credit extensions and commitments made by the Existing Lenders and outstanding
pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be assigned without recourse and
re-allocated among the Lenders so that, and credit extensions and commitments shall be made
by the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement so that, from and after the Closing Date, the
respective commitments and credit extensions of the Lenders shall be in accordance with
Schedule II. Credit extensions made by Existing Lenders shall, effective as of the
Closing Date, be evidenced and governed by this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(d) All interest and fees and expenses, if any, owing or accruing under or in respect
of the Existing Credit Agreement through the Closing Date shall be calculated as of the
Closing Date (pro rated in the case of any fractional periods), and shall be paid on the
Closing Date. Unless sooner paid on the Original Closing Date, on the Closing Date the fees
hereunder shall be payable by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety
and is entitled to the benefit of all existing Loan Documents. Any reference in any other
Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, the “
Revolving Credit Agreement, the “Agreement,”
“thereunder,” “therein,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Existing Credit
Agreement shall mean and refer to this Agreement. Any reference in any other Loan Document
to the “Obligations” or any similar term including or referencing obligations under the
Existing Credit Agreement shall include and reference the Obligations as defined in this
Agreement. All Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall continue to be outstanding except as expressly modified by this Agreement and shall be
governed in all respects by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, it being agreed and
understood by the parties hereto that this Agreement does not constitute a novation,
satisfaction, payment or reborrowing of any Obligation under the Existing Credit Agreement
or any other Loan Document except as expressly modified by this Agreement, nor, except as
expressly provided herein, does it operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender under any Loan Document. The security interests
granted pursuant to any Loan Documents shall, as modified hereby, continue in full force and
effect, and are hereby affirmed, with respect to this Agreement and the Obligations as
defined herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this
- 109 -
Agreement and the terms and provisions of any other Loan Document, the terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
(remainder of page left intentionally blank)
