This
LOAN
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”),
dated
as of September 27, 2007 among ATLANTIC AVIATION FBO INC., a Delaware
corporation (the ”Borrower”);
the
several banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties hereto
as lenders (the “Lenders”),
issuing bank or hedging banks; and DEPFA BANK plc, as Administrative Agent
(in
such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”).
RECITALS
A. The
Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide (i) term loans in connection
with the refinancing of certain indebtedness of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries Mercury Air Centers, Inc. (“Mercury”)
and
SJJC Aviation Services, LLC (“SJJC”),
the
funding of a one-time distribution to the Investor to enable the repayment
of
certain indebtedness incurred by MIC in connection with the acquisition of
indirect ownership of Mercury and SJJC, and certain other purposes permitted
hereunder; (ii) capital expenditure loans to fund certain capital projects
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; and (iii) a revolving credit facility
for general working capital purposes and to issue letters of
credit.
B. The
Lenders are willing to provide such financing to the Borrower subject to and
upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower is willing
to
execute and deliver this Loan Agreement on the terms and conditions provided
herein.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE
I
INTERPRETATION
All
capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the
respective meanings specified in Appendix A. The rules of interpretation
set forth in Appendix A shall apply to this Agreement.
ARTICLE
II
THE
CREDIT FACILITIES
Section
2.1 Term
Loan Facility.
(a) Term
Loan Commitments.
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Loan Lender severally
agrees to make term loans (each, a “Term
Loan”)
to the
Borrower during the Term Loan Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed the amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Each
Term Loan shall be made as part of a single Borrowing consisting of Term Loans
made by the Term Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro
Rata Shares. The Term Loans shall be available in not more than one Borrowing
in
an amount not exceeding $900,000,000 in the aggregate for the purposes specified
in Section 2.7(a).
(b) Term
Loan Borrowing Procedures.
(i) To
request the Term Loan Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an irrevocable Term Loan Borrowing Request in the form
of
Exhibit A,
appropriately completed, which Borrowing Request specifies:
(A)
|
the
aggregate amount of the requested Term Loan
Borrowing;
|
(B)
|
the
proposed date of the Term Loan Borrowing, which shall be a Business
Day;
and
|
(C)
|
the
proposed use of the proceeds
thereof.
|
The
Term
Loan Borrowing Request must be received by the Administrative Agent not later
than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date
of
the proposed Term Loan Borrowing, but in any case not earlier than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, ten (10) Business Days before the date of the proposed
Term
Loan Borrowing.
(ii) Promptly
following receipt of the Term Loan Borrowing Request in accordance with this
Section 2.1,
the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Term Loan Lender of the details thereof
and of the amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the
requested Term Loan Borrowing. Each Term Loan Lender shall make each Term Loan
to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account
of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Term Loan Lenders. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Article IV,
the
Administrative Agent will make such Term Loans available to the Borrower by
2:00
p.m., New York City time, by wire transfer of such funds, in accordance with
instructions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent provided by
the
Borrower.
(iii) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Term Loan
Lender prior to the proposed date of the Term Loan Borrowing that such Term
Loan
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Term Loan
Lender’s share of such Term Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Term Loan Lender will make such amount available to the Administrative
Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(ii)
and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. If a Term Loan Lender has not in fact made its share of the Term Loan
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Term Loan Lender shall
forthwith pay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount
is
made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Term Loan Lender does
not pay such amount within three (3) Business Days after the date of the
Term Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor from
the Borrower, and the Borrower shall, without limitation of the Borrower’s
rights against the defaulting Lender, pay such amount to the Administrative
Agent, together with interest thereon from the date such amount was made
available to the Borrower at the interest rate per annum applicable to the
Term
Loans advanced on the date of the Term Loan Borrowing. A notice of the
Administrative Agent submitted to any Term Loan Lender or the Borrower with
respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.
2
(iv) The
failure of any Term Loan Lender to make any Term Loan required to be made by
it
shall not relieve any other Term Loan Lender of its obligations hereunder;
provided
that the
Term Loan Commitments of the Term Loan Lenders are several and no Term Loan
Lender shall be responsible for any other Term Loan Lender’s failure to make
Term Loans as required herein.
Section
2.2 Capex
Facility
(a) Capex
Loan Commitments.
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Capex Loan Lender severally
agrees to make term loans (each, a “Capex
Loan”)
to the
Borrower from time to time during the Capex Loan Commitment Period in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount of such Capex Loan Lender’s
Capex Loan Commitment. Each Capex Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing
consisting of Capex Loans made by the Capex Loan Lenders ratably in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Capex Loans shall be available in
multiple Borrowings, not to exceed one Borrowing per calendar month, in an
amount not exceeding $50,000,000 in the aggregate, for the purposes specified
in
Section 2.7(b).
(b) Capex
Loan Borrowing Procedures.
(i) To
request a Capex Loan Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an irrevocable Capex Loan Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit B,
appropriately completed, which Borrowing Request specifies:
(A)
|
the
aggregate amount of the requested Capex Loan Borrowing (which shall
be not
less than $250,000 and shall be an integral multiple of
$50,000);
|
(B)
|
the
proposed date of the Capex Loan Borrowing, which shall be a Business
Day;
and
|
(C)
|
the
proposed use of the proceeds
thereof.

Each
Capex Loan Borrowing Request must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the
date of the proposed Capex Loan Borrowing, but in any case not earlier than
10:00 a.m., New York City time, ten (10) Business Days before the date of the
proposed Capex Loan Borrowing.
(ii) Promptly
following receipt of a Capex Loan Borrowing Request in accordance with this
Section 2.2,
the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Capex Loan Lender of the details thereof
and of the amount of such Capex Loan Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the
requested Term Loan Borrowing. Each Capex Loan Lender shall make each Capex
Loan
to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account
of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Capex Loan Lenders. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Article IV,
the
Administrative Agent will make such Capex Loans available to the Borrower by
2:00 p.m., New York City time, by wire transfer of such funds, in accordance
with instructions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent provided
by
the Borrower.

(iii) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Capex Loan
Lender prior to the proposed date of a Capex Loan Borrowing that such Capex
Loan
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Capex Loan
Lender’s share of such Capex Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Capex Loan Lender will make such amount available to the
Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(ii)
and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. If a Capex Loan Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Capex Loan Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Term Loan
Lender shall forthwith pay to the Administrative Agent on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the
date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date
of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Capex
Loan Lender does not pay such amount within three (3) Business Days after
the date of a Capex Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may make a demand
therefor from the Borrower, and the Borrower shall, without limitation of the
Borrower’s rights against the defaulting Lender, pay such amount to the
Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon from the date such amount
was made available to the Borrower at the interest rate per annum applicable
to
the Capex Loans advanced on the date of such Capex Loan Borrowing. A notice
of
the Administrative Agent submitted to any Capex Loan Lender or the Borrower
with
respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.
(iv) The
failure of any Capex Loan Lender to make any Capex Loan required to be made
by
it shall not relieve any other Capex Loan Lender of its obligations hereunder;
provided
that the
Capex Loan Commitments of the Capex Loan Lenders are several and no Capex Loan
Lender shall be responsible for any other Capex Loan Lender’s failure to make
Capex Loans as required herein.
Section
2.3 Revolving
Loan Facility
(a) Revolving
Loan Commitments.
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Loan Lender
severally agrees to make loans for the purposes specified in Section
2.7(c)
(each, a
“Revolving
Loan”)
to the
Borrower, from time to time during the Revolving Loan Commitment Period in
such
amounts as the Borrower may request under this Section
2.3
(and
thereafter to make additional Revolving Loans to reimburse the Issuing Bank
for
Drawings under Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.14);
provided
that the
sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Revolving
Loans made by a Revolving Loan Lender after giving effect to all prepayment
and
repayments thereof and (B) such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed the Revolving
Loan Commitment of such Revolving Loan Lenders at any given time, which
aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments shall not exceed $20,000,000 at any time.
Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a single Borrowing consisting
of
Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with
their respective Pro Rata Shares. Within the foregoing limits, and subject
to
the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow, repay and
reborrow Revolving Loans until the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination
Date.
4
(b) Revolving
Loan Borrowing Procedures.
(i) To
request a Revolving Loan Borrowing (other than a Borrowing to reimburse the
Issuing Bank in respect of a Drawing), the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an irrevocable Revolving Loan Borrowing Request in the
form
of Exhibit C-1,
appropriately completed and duly signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower, which Revolving Loan Borrowing Request shall specify:
(A)
|
the
aggregate amount of the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing (which,
other
than a Borrowing to reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of a Drawing,
shall be not less than $100,000 and shall be an integral multiple
of
$50,000);
|
(B)
|
the
proposed date of such Revolving Loan Borrowing, which shall be a
Business
Day; and
|
(C)
|
whether
the requested Borrowing is to consist of Base Rate Revolving Loans
or
LIBOR Revolving Loans and, if the requested Borrowing consists of
LIBOR
Revolving Loans, the initial Interest Period selected by the Borrower
for
such LIBOR Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.5
of
this Agreement.
|
Each
Borrowing Request for a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Revolving Loans must
be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of such
proposed Revolving Loan Borrowing, and each Revolving Loan Borrowing Request
for
a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business
Day before the date of (or, if agreed to in writing by the Revolving Loan
Lenders, on the date of) such proposed Revolving Loan Borrowing. Each Revolving
Loan Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Revolving Loans or
LIBOR
Revolving Loans, as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. If no
election as to the Type of Loan is specified in the applicable Revolving Loan
Borrowing Request, then the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing shall consist
of
Base Rate Loans. The procedures specified in this clause (i)
shall
not apply to any Revolving Loan Borrowing with respect to a Drawing under a
Letter of Credit issued pursuant to Section
2.14.
5
(ii) Promptly
following receipt of a Revolving Loan Borrowing Request in accordance with
this
Section 2.3(b),
the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Revolving Loan Lender of the details
thereof and of the amount of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loan to be
made pursuant to the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing. Each Revolving Loan
Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed
date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon,
New
York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently
designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Revolving Loan Lenders.
Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the
Administrative Agent shall make such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower
by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, by wire transfer of such funds in
accordance with instructions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent
provided by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the time of
the
Borrowing of such Revolving Loans, a Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and the Required Lenders have provided notice to the
Administrative Agent and each Revolving Loan Lender that the Revolving Loans
may
not be made while such Default or Event of Default is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall not make such Revolving Loans available to the
Borrower. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall make the sole determination as to
whether the applicable conditions to the obligation of such Revolving Loan
Lender to make Revolving Loans set forth in Article
IV
have
been satisfied.
(iii) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Revolving
Loan
Lender prior to the proposed date of a Revolving Loan Borrowing that such
Revolving Loan Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Loan Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Loan Lender will make such
amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with
Section
2.3(b)(ii)
and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. If a Revolving Loan Lender has not in fact made its Pro Rata Share
of a
Revolving Loan Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving
Loan Lender shall forthwith pay to the Administrative Agent on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the
date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date
of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such
Revolving Loan Lender does not pay such amount within
three (3) Business Days after the date of such Revolving Loan
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor from the
Borrower, and the Borrower shall, without limitation of the Borrower’s rights
against the defaulting Revolving Loan Lender, pay such amount to the
Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon from the date such amount
was made available to the Borrower at the interest rate per annum applicable
to
the Revolving Loans advanced on the date of such Revolving Loan Borrowing.
A
notice of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Revolving Loan Lender or
the
Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this clause
(iii)
shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(iv) The
failure of any Revolving Loan Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to
be
made by it shall not relieve any other Revolving Loan Lender of its obligations
hereunder; provided that the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Revolving Loan
Lenders are several and no Revolving Loan Lender shall be responsible for any
other Revolving Loan Lender’s failure to make Revolving Loans as required
herein.
6
(c) Conversion

Subject
to Section
3.5,
the
Borrower may convert any Revolving Loan Borrowing from one Type of Revolving
Loan Borrowing to the other Type; provided
that no
Base Rate Revolving Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Revolving Loan after
the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Revolver
Event
of Default; provided,
further,
that
any conversion of a LIBOR Revolving Loan on any day other than the last day
of
the Interest Period therefor shall be subject to the payments required under
Section 3.5.
To
request a conversion of a Revolving Loan Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion in the form
of
Exhibit C-2,
appropriately completed and duly executed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower, which Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion shall specify:
(i) the
Revolving Loan Borrowing which is to be converted;
(ii) the
Type

be
converted; and
(iii) the
proposed date of the requested conversion, which shall be a Business

Each
Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion must be received by the Administrative
Agent
not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days
before the date of the requested conversion, in the case of a conversion to
a
LIBOR Revolving Loan, and one (1) Business Day before the date of the
requested conversion, in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Revolving
Loan.
Section
2.4 Interest.
(a) Each
LIBOR Loan shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum
equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. Each Base
Rate Revolving Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other
amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated

interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2%
plus
the highest interest rate otherwise applicable to the Loans as provided in
the
above paragraph
(a)
of this
Section
2.4
or, if
no Loans are then outstanding, 4% plus the Base Rate. Accrued and unpaid
interest on past due amounts shall be due and payable on demand.
(c) Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date
for such Loan and at such other times as may be specified herein.
(d) All
interest under this Section 2.4
shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed
by
reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime
Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a
leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable
Base Rate or LIBOR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

above,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1)
month’s duration.
(f) Promptly
following receipt of a notice from the Borrower selecting an Interest Period,

insurance proceeds in respect of business interruption or anticipated loss
in
revenue) or Net Condemnation Proceeds, or (y) if applicable, the end of the
180-day period described in the proviso below), the Borrower shall prepay the
Loans in accordance with clause (vii)
below in
an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the sum of such Net Insurance
Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds in such fiscal year (excluding any
amounts used to repair, restore or replace assets in accordance with the
immediately following proviso); provided
that the
Borrower shall not be obligated to make a prepayment under this clause
(iii)
if and
to the extent that (X) the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent in
writing at the time the applicable Loan Party receives such proceeds that such
Loan Party intends to repair, restore or replace the assets from which such
Net
Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds derived, and does so within
180
days of receipt thereof (or such longer period as is reasonably required to
complete such repair, restoration or replacement if so elected by the Borrower;
provided
that the
applicable Loan Party shall have commenced such repair, restoration or
replacement during such 180-day period and thereafter proceeds with all due
diligence to complete such repair, restoration or replacement within a
reasonable period of time acceptable to the Administrative Agent), it being
understood that any Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds retained
by such Loan Party but not actually expended within such time period to repair,
restore or replace the assets from which such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net
Condemnation Proceeds derived shall at that time immediately be used to prepay
the Loans in accordance with clause
(vii)
below,
or (Y) the aggregate amount of all such Net Insurance Proceeds and Net
Condemnation Proceeds received by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the
immediately preceding twelve-month period does not exceed

deposit in the Special Reserve Account for a period of two (2) consecutive
fiscal quarters or longer shall be applied to prepay the Loans in accordance
with clause
(vii)
below.
(v) The
proceeds of any termination payment or similar compensation received by any
Subsidiary of the Borrower from an Airport Authority or any other party in
respect of the termination of any FBO Lease shall be applied, immediately upon
receipt of such payment, to prepay the Loans in accordance with clause

(vii)
below in
an aggregate principal amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Excess

(vii) All
mandatory prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.9
shall be
applied (A) first, to prepay ratably any outstanding Term Loans together
with any Hedging Termination Obligations payable under the Hedging Agreements
as
a result of the reduction of the notional amounts under any such Hedging
Agreements due to such prepayment in accordance with Section
11.3(c)
hereof,
and (B) if the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, to prepay ratably

to occur after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section
2.14,
and
(ii) on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.
(c) Documentary
And Processing Charges Payable To Issuing Bank.
The
Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank for its own account the
customary and reasonable issuance, presentation, amendment, negotiation and
other processing fees, and other standard and reasonable costs and charges,
of
the Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.
Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand and once paid, are
nonrefundable.
(d) Other
Fees.
The
Borrower agrees to pay to DEPFA, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent for their own respective accounts fees payable
in
the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and
such parties, which fees shall be deemed to be payable hereunder.
(e) Fees
Fully Earned When Paid.
All
fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable under any
circumstances.
Section
2.11 Evidence
of Indebtedness; Notes.
The
Loans
made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records
maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course
of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent
and
each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Loans
made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.
Any
failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount
owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between
the
accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records
of
the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records
of
the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon
the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
a
Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or
records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the
date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto.
13
Section
2.12 Payments
Generally.
(a) Each
payment by the Borrower hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or
any
other amount) shall be made prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
date when due, in Dollars in immediately available funds, without condition
or
deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Any amounts
received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent or other applicable payee, be deemed to have been received
on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon. All payments to be made to the Administrative Agent shall be made
to
the account of the Administrative Agent at Citibank New York (XXXXXX00); credit
to account number 00000000; account name: DEPFA BANK PLC, New York Branch
(DPFAUS33); Reference: Atlantic Aviation FBO, or such other account as may
hereafter be designated by the Administrative Agent in writing. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for
the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly upon receipt
thereof, in like funds as received.
(b) Except
to
the extent herein specifically provided otherwise, if any payment to be made
by
the Borrower under any Loan Document becomes due and payable on a day other
than
a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing
interest or fees.
(c) If
at any
time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, 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 then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
then due to such parties.
Section
2.13 Sharing
of Payments.
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 its Term Loans,
Capex Loans or Revolving Loans or participation in the Letter of Credit
Facility, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion
of
the aggregate amount of such Loans or such participation in the Letter of Credit
Facility 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 Term Loans, Capex Loans, Revolving
Loans and participations in the Letter of Credit Facility of the 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 Term Loans, Capex Loans, Revolving
Loans and participations in the Letter of Credit Facility; 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 Borrower 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 to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or Affiliate
thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable Legal Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower all
its
rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation.
14
Section
2.14 Letter
of Credit Facility.
(a) Letter
of Credit Commitment.
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue
standby Letters of Credit under the Letter of Credit Facility for the account
of
the Borrower from time to time prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date
or,
at any time when the Revolving Loan facility is in effect, during the Revolving
Loan Commitment Period; provided
that
(i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to this Section
2.14
or be
entitled to the benefits hereunder prior to the Borrowing of the Term Loans,
(ii) the face amount of any such requested Letter of Credit shall not, at
the time of issuance, exceed the aggregate Available Revolving Loan Commitments
of all Revolving Loan Lenders at any time when the Revolving Loan facility
is in
effect; (iii) the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Usage shall not
exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit at any time; and (iv) each such Letter
of Credit shall have an expiration date that is no later than the date that
is
one (1) year from the date of issue, unless otherwise agreed to by the Issuing
Bank; provided
that no
such Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date. The obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters
of
Credit shall expire on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or, if the Revolving
Loan facility is in effect, the last day of the Revolving Loan Commitment
Period. Each Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.14
shall be
in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank.
(b) Procedure
For Issuance of Letter of Credit.
To
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit) pursuant to this Section
2.14,
the
Borrower shall deliver to the Issuing Bank (with a copy thereof to the
Administrative Agent) (which request must be received by the Issuing Bank and
the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City
time, three (3) Business Days before the requested date of issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension) an irrevocable written request for the issuance of a
Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed
or
extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension
(which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is
to
expire (which shall comply with paragraph (a)
of this
Section
2.14),
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. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower
also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard
form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.
15
(c) Revolving
Loan Lenders’ Participation.
Immediately upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with this
Section 2.14,
the
Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving
Loan
Lender, and each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and
received from the Issuing Bank, in each case irrevocably and without any further
action by any party, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter
of
Credit, each Drawing and other Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower in
respect thereof in an amount equal to the respective Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the applicable Outstanding Amount then in effect. The Issuing
Bank
shall promptly advise each Revolving Loan Lender of the changes in the
applicable Outstanding Amount or Letter of Credit Expiration Date and any
Drawing therefrom; provided
that the
failure to give such notice shall not limit or impair the rights of the Issuing
Bank hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
(d) Payment
of Drawing.
Upon a
Drawing, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Issuing Bank a
Reimbursement Obligation in the amount of the Drawing not later than 12:00
noon,
New York City time, on the same Business Day that the Drawing is made, if the
Borrower shall have received notice of such Drawing prior to 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on such date, or, if such notice was received by the Borrower
after such time, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time on the
immediately following Business Day unless the reimbursement is made by a
Revolving Loan (and in the latter case such payment shall include interest
on
the Reimbursement Obligation from the date of the Drawing to such payment date).
Unless the Borrower shall notify the Issuing Bank, the Revolving Loan Lenders
and the Administrative Agent that such Reimbursement Obligation will be paid
by
the Borrower without using a Revolving Loan, the payment by the Issuing Bank
of
such Drawing shall be deemed automatically to be a request for the making by
the
Revolving Loan Lenders of Revolving Loans to the Borrower in the amount of
the
respective Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Drawing on the date of
such Drawing, and the Issuing Bank shall promptly so notify each Revolving
Loan
Lender. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall, on the Business Day of the Drawing,
make a Base Rate Revolving Loan for the account of the Borrower in an amount
equal to the respective Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Drawing,
the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank. The
obligation of each Revolving Loan Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Bank by
making a Revolving Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by the occurrence of an Event of Default or any other occurrence or
event. In the event that a Revolving Loan Lender fails to make available for
the
account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Revolving Loan, the Issuing
Bank
shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together
with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds
Rate.
(e) Conditions
To Issuance of Letters of Credit.
The
obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit pursuant to this
Section 2.14
is
subject to the satisfaction, on the proposed issuance date, of the following
conditions precedent: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and (ii) all representations and warranties of each
Loan Party contained in the Loan Documents (as the same may have been modified
through supplements or amendments to the related disclosure schedules in
accordance with Section
5.31
hereof)
shall be true, correct and accurate in all material respects on and as of such
issuance date (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate
to an earlier date).
16
(f) Replacement
of Issuing Bank.
The
Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Loan Lenders, the replaced
Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank, and upon replacement of any
outstanding Letters of Credit with replacements issued by the successor Issuing
Bank; provided
that any
successor Issuing Bank shall have a credit rating for its Reference Debt that
is
reasonably acceptable to the beneficiaries of the replacement Letters of Credit.
The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of
the
Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section
2.10.
From
and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing
Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii)
references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such
successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous
Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.
ARTICLE
III
TAXES
AND
YIELD PROTECTION
Section
3.1 Taxes.
(a) Any
and
all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided
that if
the Borrower 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
3.1)
the
Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives
an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made,
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.
(b) In
addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.
(c) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing
Bank, within ten (10) 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 Borrower hereunder or under
any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed
or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section
3.1)
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
Borrower by the Issuing Bank, by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on
its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
17
(d) As
soon
as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority in accordance with clause
(a)
or
(b)
above,
the Borrower 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) Each
Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt
of
any payment subject to withholding under the IRC (or upon accepting an
assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either
IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and
entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all
payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments
to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement)
or
such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of,
U.S.
withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the
IRC.
Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly
submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed
copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from
time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then
be
available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or
such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
of
any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes
in
respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent
of
any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction.
(f) If
any
Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly
withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from
payments made to or for the account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank, such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent
under this Section
3.1,
and
costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank under this Section
3.1
shall
survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations
hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.
(g) If
a
Lender assigns a Loan to a United States Person that is not an “exempt
recipient” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii), such assignee
shall provide two duly signed and completed copies of IRS form W-9 (or any
successor form thereto) to the Administrative Agent.
18
Section
3.2 Alternate
Rate of Interest.
If
prior
to the commencement of any Interest Period or the borrowing of any LIBOR Loan,
(a) the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders, as applicable,
determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such
Interest Period or (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required
Lenders, or, in the case of LIBOR Revolving Loans, the Revolving Loan Lenders
determine, that LIBOR determined or to be determined for such Interest Period
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders or Revolving
Loan Lenders, as applicable, of making or maintaining such Loans for such
Interest Period, the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders, as
applicable, shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and, if
applicable, the Required Lenders, by telephone or telecopy as promptly as
practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent or the Revolving
Loan
Lenders, as applicable, notify the Borrower and, if applicable, such Required
Lenders, that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
the
Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders, as applicable, shall
promptly give written notice thereof to the Borrower and, if applicable, such
Required Lenders. If such notice is given with respect to Term Loans, the rate
of interest on each applicable Lender’s Loans for each Interest Period
thereafter will be the average cost of funds for the Required Lenders, as
reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, plus the Applicable Margin.
If such notice is given with respect to Revolving Loans, all LIBOR Revolving
Loans shall be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Revolving Loans
effective upon the giving of such notice, and LIBOR Revolving Loans shall
thereafter not be available until the Revolving Loan Lenders advise the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist.
Section
3.3 Illegality.
If
any
Lender determines that any Legal Requirement has made it unlawful, or that
any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or
its
applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine
or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by such
Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent, in the case of any
Term Loans), any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans
or to
convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), prepay, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if
such
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or
immediately, if such Lender is a Revolving Loan Lender or such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans; provided
that (i)
in the case of Term Loans or Capex Loans, if prior to such prepayment date
the
affected Lender and the Borrower can agree upon an alternative mutually
acceptable basis for determining the interest rate from time to time applicable
to the Term Loans or Capex Loans owing to such Lender that will avoid such
illegality (it being understood and agreed that the Base Rate shall be an
acceptable substitute rate if the Borrower so elects and it shall be legal
for
such Lender to maintain its Loans as Base Rate Loans), such interest rate shall
take effect from the date of such agreement in lieu of such required prepayment;
and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Revolving Loans, if conversion of such Revolving
Loans into Base Rate Loans will avoid such illegality, all LIBOR Revolving
Loans
shall be converted to Base Rate Revolving Loans. Upon any such prepayment or
conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid or converted.
19
Section
3.4 Increased
Costs.
(a) If
any
Change in Law shall:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
by,
any Lender or the Issuing Bank (including any reserve established by the Federal
Reserve Board); or
(ii) impose
on
any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter
of
Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section
2.14;
and
the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender
or
the Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Loan or such Letter of Credit
(or
of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or Letter of Credit) or
to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the
Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then
the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Bank,
as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.
(b) If
any
Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that 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 holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Loans made by such Lender or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing
Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such
Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company
with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will
pay
to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or
the Issuing Bank’s holding company 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 its holding company,
as the case may be, as specified in paragraph
(a)
or
(b)
of this
Section
3.4
shall be
delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) 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
3.4
shall
not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand
such compensation; provided
that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section
3.4
for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date
that
such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower
of
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of
such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and
provided,
further,
that if
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
20
Section
3.5 Funding
Losses.
The
Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from
any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence
of
(i) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the wrongful
failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to borrow or prepay any Loan on the
date
or in the amount notified by the Borrower, or (ii) any payment or
prepayment of any Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period
with respect thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, by reason of acceleration,
or otherwise), including the amount (if any) determined by the relevant Lender
by which (x) the interest at the LIBOR which such Lender would have
received for the period from the date of receipt of funds to repay or prepay
a
Loan to the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan if the
principal received had been paid on the last day of such Interest Period
exceeds
(y) the amount which such Lender would be able to obtain by placing an
amount equal to the amount received by it on deposit with a leading bank in
the
appropriate interbank market for a period starting on the Business Day following
receipt and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Any Lender
demanding indemnification for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by
it
pursuant to this Section 3.5
shall,
at the time of such demand, deliver to the Borrower a certificate specifying
in
reasonable detail the additional amount to be paid to it for any such loss
or
expense. Each determination by a Lender of the amounts owing to it pursuant
to
this Section 3.5
shall be
conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.
Section
3.6 Duty
to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If
the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1,
or if
any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4,
or if
the Borrower would be required to prepay the Loans of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.3,
then
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office
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 judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1
or
3.4
or avoid
the prepayment under Section 3.3,
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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.
(b) If
the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1,
or if
any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4,
or if
the Borrower would be required to prepay the Loans of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.3,
or if
any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 12.4),
all
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided
that
(i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or
delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to
the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees
and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent
of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower
(in
the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.1
or a
claim for compensation under Section 3.4,
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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to
apply.

assets described in section 4204 of ERISA, which liability could reasonably
be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Borrower or any of
its
Subsidiaries or the ERISA Affiliates has been notified that any Multiemployer
Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of section
4241 or section 4245 of ERISA or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to
terminate or has been terminated under section 4041A of ERISA, except to the

under
the Material Contract;
(i) as
soon
as possible and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any of
the

following:
(a) carry
and
maintain insurance during the term of this Agreement of the types, in the
amounts and subject to such deductibles and other terms customarily carried
from
time to time by others engaged in substantially the same business as such Person
and operating in the same geographic area as such Person, including fire, public

that the
Borrower shall be permitted to consolidate the insurance policies carried as
of
the Closing Date by each of Mercury and SJJC and their respective Subsidiaries
with the insurance policies carried by the Borrower without violating this
paragraph (b)
if the
amounts of the Borrower’s insurance policies have first been adjusted in
accordance with the recommendations of the Insurance Consultant, and
provided further
that
promptly following such consolidation, the Borrower shall submit to the

satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(c) furnish
to the Administrative Agent, upon written request, certificates of insurance
in
a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to the insurance
carried;
(d) carry
and
maintain each policy for such insurance with (i) a company which is rated
A- or better by A.M. Best and Company, with unimpaired policyholders’ surplus of
$50 million or more, at the time such policy is placed and at the time of each

in the insurance industry with respect to airport services businesses) the
Collateral Agent as first loss payee; provided
that, at
any time the Collateral Agent receives proceeds of any such insurance as first
loss payee, the Administrative Agent shall promptly instruct the Collateral
Agent to apply such proceeds in accordance with Section

45
provided;
with
respect to paragraphs
(a)
through
(e)
above,
that if
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to maintain insurance in
accordance with this Section
6.5,
or if
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to provide the required
endorsements with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall have the
right
(but shall be under no obligation) to procure such insurance and the Borrower
agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable costs and
expenses of procuring such insurance. All such policies as to which the
Collateral Agent is named as an additional insured or loss payee, as the case
may be, shall (i) provide that the same shall not be cancelled, materially
modified or terminated for non-payment of any premium without at least
ten (10) days’ prior written notice to each insured and each loss
payee named therein (for war risks coverage, seven (7) days or such lesser
period as is customarily available), (ii) where commercially available,

the Collateral Agent or any other additional insured or loss payee shall not
be
invalidated by any action or inaction of the Collateral Agent, the Lenders,
the
Administrative Agent or any other Person, (iii) insure the Collateral Agent
and any other additional insured or loss payee regardless of any breach or
violation by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person of
any
warranties, declarations, or conditions contained in the policies related to
such insurance, (iv) provide that the insurer thereunder waives all right
of subrogation against the Collateral Agent and waives any right of set-off
or
counterclaim against the Collateral Agent and any other right of deduction
against the Collateral Agent, whether by attachment or otherwise; provided,
that
the insurer may proceed against third parties at any time and against the
Borrower at such time as the Obligations are paid in full, (v) be primary
without right of contribution from any other insurance carried by or on behalf
of the Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Hedging Bank or the Administrative
Agent with respect to any interest in the Collateral, (vi) provide that no
Person other than the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or, to the extent an Airport
Authority is required under a Material Contract to pay premiums on behalf of
the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, such Airport Authority) shall have any
liability for any premiums with respect thereto, and (vii) provide that
inasmuch as the policies are written to cover more than one insured, all terms
and conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements, with the exception of
limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a
separate policy covering each insured. The Administrative Agent shall not,
by
reason of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance incur any
liability for the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof,
the solvency of any insurer, or the payment of any losses.
(f) All
proceeds of insurance policies provided or obtained by the Borrower or any
of
its Subsidiaries (whether or not required to be carried under the Loan
Documents) other than with respect to coverage for business interruption,
anticipated loss in revenue, workers’ compensation, employees’ liability and
general liability, in respect of any Material Loss shall be paid by the
respective insurers directly to the Loss Proceeds Account or, if received by
the
Borrower or any such Subsidiary, shall promptly be transferred to the Loss
Proceeds Account and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.7.

penalties accrue thereon, (b) all Indebtedness which, if unpaid, could
become a Lien upon the Property of such Loan Party and (c) subject to any
subordination provisions applicable thereto, all other Indebtedness which in
each case, if unpaid, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, except such Indebtedness, Taxes or Governmental Charges as may in good
faith be contested or disputed, or for which arrangements for deferred payment
have been made; provided
that in
each such case appropriate reserves are maintained to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and no material Property of any such
Loan Party is at impending risk of being seized, levied upon or forfeited (the
conditions in this proviso, the “Permitted
Contest Provisions”).

set forth in Section

The
Borrower shall not use any part of the proceeds of any Loan, directly or

preserve and protect all of its rights to enjoy and use material trademarks,
trade names, service marks, patents, copyrights, licenses, leases, franchise

Governmental Authorizations that are required of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for the validity and enforceability of the Loan Documents and
the
operation of the airport services businesses pursuant to the Material Contracts,
except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have
a
Material Adverse Effect, and (f) conduct its business in an orderly manner
without voluntary interruption. The Borrower shall maintain its chief executive
office and principal place of business in the United States.

6.9 Compliance
with Legal Requirements and Contractual Obligations; Enforcement of Material

in a lease for an FBO, such deed of trust or mortgage shall not be required
under this Section
6.10.
Section

and recording of a leasehold deed of trust or mortgage relating to such FBO
Lease, and deliver to the Collateral Agent any and all agreements, documents,
instruments, filings and writings deemed necessary by the Collateral Agent,
or
as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time in its sole
discretion, to evidence, perfect or protect the Secured Parties’ rights and
security interests in and to such FBO Leases provided
that the
Administrative Agent may waive the requirement to record such mortgage or deed

such consent within thirty (30) days after such request was or should have
been
made, the Borrower shall, if not prohibited by the applicable FBO Lease,
promptly establish, at Borrower’s sole cost, a new single purpose holding
company Subsidiary of the Borrower that will directly own only the stock of
such
Subsidiary that is a party to such FBO Lease for which consent could not be
obtained. The Equity Securities of each such newly-established holding company
Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be pledged in favor of the Collateral Agent
to
secure the Obligations.
Section

of Aviation Maintenance Services Business.
The
Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell, assign, convey

and assets, if any, relating to aircraft management, aviation maintenance
services or aircraft charter businesses that may currently be provided by,
or at
the FBO facilities operated by, the Borrower’s Subsidiaries (the “Maintenance
Services Businesses”),
in
accordance with the terms of the management contracts or relevant FBO Leases
and
the terms of all applicable law and Governmental Authorizations, to a reputable
entity or entities possessing reasonably sufficient experience operating similar
services in accordance with prudent industry standards for work of similar
scope
and scale, and under arrangements whereby the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
are
not responsible or liable for such services following such sale. Without
limiting the foregoing, if such sale is not consummated within the Maintenance
Services Businesses Disposition Period, the Borrower shall arrange for the
transfer of the Maintenance Services Businesses and related assets, together
with capitalization sufficient for the operations and conduct of such
businesses, including the carrying and maintenance of insurance of the types,
in
the amounts and subject to such deductibles and other terms customarily carried
from time to time by others engaged in substantially the same business as the
Maintenance Services Business and in accordance with prevailing prudent industry
standards, so as to cause such services to be held and provided by a new
Subsidiary or group of Subsidiaries in a manner that reasonably minimizes the
exposure of the Borrower or any of its other Subsidiaries to liability resulting
from the conduct of such businesses.

Upon Event of Default.

Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and

forthwith terminate (except that any such termination shall not affect the
obligation of each Revolving Loan Lender to reimburse the Issuing Bank in
respect of any Drawing under a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.14
prior to
such termination); (ii) by notice to the Borrower, declare the entire
unpaid principal amount of the Loans (together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and any other amount then due under the Loan Documents) and
all
other Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall
become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest,
or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;
and/or (iii) instruct the Collateral Agent to foreclose on any or all of
the Collateral and/or proceed to enforce all remedies available to the
Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent) pursuant to the Loan Documents or
otherwise as a matter of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of
Default referred to in Section 8.1(i)
or
(j)
shall
occur with respect to the Borrower, automatically and without notice the actions
described in clauses (i)
and
(ii) above
shall be deemed to have occurred.
(b) Without
limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent set forth in paragraph
(a)
above or
elsewhere in this Agreement, if any Event of Default or Revolver Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Revolving Loan Lenders (with respect
to
the Revolving Loans only and irrespective of any action or inaction taken with
respect to the Term Loans) may, by notice to the Borrower (in the case of a
Revolver Event of Default which is not otherwise an Event of Default), given
not
later than fifteen (15) days of the Revolving Loan Lenders receiving written
notice of the occurrence of such Revolver Event of Default, (i) declare the
Revolving Loan Commitments to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith
terminate (except that any such termination shall not affect the obligation
of
the Revolving Loan Lenders to reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of any
Drawing under a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.14
prior to
such termination); and/or (ii) declare the entire unpaid principal amount
of the Revolving Loans (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon
and any other amount then due under the Loan Documents) and all other
Obligations owing to the Revolving Loan Lenders to be forthwith due and payable,
whereupon such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower. Any such acceleration of the Obligations
owed
to the Revolving Loan Lenders shall not alter or affect the limitations on
remedies specified in paragraph
(c)
below.
62
(c) Subject
to paragraph
(d)
below,
no Financing Party may, except with the prior consent of the Required Lenders
(i) enforce any security interest created or evidenced by any Security
Document or require the Administrative Agent to enforce any such security
interest (provided that the foregoing shall not limit any right of setoff by
a
Lender permitted hereunder); (ii) xxx for or institute any creditor’s
process (including an injunction, garnishment, execution or levy, whether before
or after judgment) in respect of any Obligation (whether or not for the payment
of money) owing to it under or in respect of any Loan Document; (iii) take
any step for the winding-up, administration of or dissolution of, or any
insolvency proceeding in relation to, the Borrower, or for a voluntary
arrangement, scheme of arrangement or other analogous step in relation to the
Borrower, or (iv) apply for any order for an injunction or specific
performance in respect of the Borrower in relation to any of the Loan Documents;
provided that nothing herein shall limit any netting or right of set-off by
the
Hedging Bank in accordance with the Hedging Agreements.
(d) If
the
Revolving Loans and interest thereon are not repaid in full on the Maturity
Date, the Revolving Loan Lenders may bring any action or proceeding (i) for
collection of such unpaid amounts and other amounts due and owing to the
Revolving Loan Lenders with respect thereto and (ii) for the recognition or
enforcement of any judgment with respect to such unpaid amounts and such other
amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as any real property is included
in the Collateral, the Revolving Loan Lenders shall not exercise any rights
or
remedies that could reasonably be expected to result in the loss of the
Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the California “one
action” rule or any similar rule of any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding
anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Revolving Loans shall at all
times be secured by the Lien pursuant to the Security Documents, subject to
the
direction of the Required Lenders.
Section
8.3 Waiver
of Event of Default.
Any
Event
of Default may be waived as provided in Section
12.1.

waiver of any Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any other or any
succeeding Event of Default except to the extent specifically provided in such
waiver.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or

any Financing Party or Participant, and no implied covenants, functions,

Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the

the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with
reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary
or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of
any
applicable Legal Requirement. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter

market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties.

or
any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. None of the Administrative Agent and any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates shall be under any
obligation to any Financing Party or participant to ascertain or to inquire

conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements
of
legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants
and
other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent

Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first
be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Financing Parties against any and
all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the

hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to
act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults
in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Financing Parties, unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Financing Party
or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating
that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify
the Financing Parties of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative

deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent

it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates
and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its
own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties
and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory
Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision
to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder.
Each Financing Party also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its
own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action

investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Financing Parties by the
Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
or
responsibility to provide any Financing Party with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial

and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting
or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates
as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder
and without notice to or consent of the Financing Parties. The Financing Parties
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or
its
Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates

favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the
Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information

Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ prior

for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to
by
the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default
(which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date
of
the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent
may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor
administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its

such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers
and
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent”

hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X
and
Section 12.3
shall

it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative
agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is
30
days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation or
removal, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of

deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action
hereunder.

hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without
the
written consent of each Lender; (vi) release any Guarantor from the
Subsidiary Guaranty, or (vii) release all or any material part of the
Collateral without the written consent of each Lender and Hedging Bank (except
that (A) any release in connection with a sale or other disposition of
Collateral authorized by Section
7.3
shall
not require the approval of any Lender or Hedging Bank and (B) any amendment,
waiver or consent which modifies the terms of Section 7.3
(including any modification relating to the prepayment of proceeds from any
such
sale or other disposition) shall require the consent of the Required Lenders);
and provided,
further,
that
(A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the written consent of
the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect
the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the written
consent of the Issuing Bank in addition to the Lenders required above, affect
the rights or duties of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other
Loan
Document (C) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the written consent
of each Hedging Bank directly affected thereby in addition to the Lenders
required above, affect the rights or duties of such Hedging Bank under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (D) any separate fee agreement between
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such or between
the
Borrower and the Lead Arrangers in their capacities as such may be amended
or
modified by such parties; and provided,
further,
that
any waiver of conditions precedent set forth in Section
4.1(g)
which
relate to the perfection of a security interest in Collateral can be waived
by
the Administrative Agent in its discretion, (provided
that
such condition shall instead be satisfied after the Closing Date, and within
time periods established by the Administrative Agent in its discretion); and
provided,
further,
that
(X) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the written consent of
the Revolving Loan Lenders, in addition to the Lenders required above, be

Lenders to make Revolving Loans or the existence or non-existence of a Revolver
Event of Default, or the rights of the Revolving Loan Lenders specified in
Section 8.2(b),
and (Y)
no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the written consent of the
Issuing Bank, in addition to the Lenders required above, be effective for
purposes of determining the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters

Credit.
74
(b) No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right or power hereunder 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 a right or power, preclude any other
or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to
any
departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless
the
same shall be permitted by paragraph
(a)
of this
Section
12.1,
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 shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures
be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided
that the
failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of
any
facsimile document or signature.
(c) Electronic
mail and internet and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine
communications, such as Financial Statements and other information as provided
in Section 6.1,
and to

Section
12.3 Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) The
Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, including the reasonable
fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and
the
Collateral Agent, in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, modification
or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein, and the administration of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including any outside appraisal,
audit, environmental and similar services), and (ii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in connection
with
the enforcement, attempted enforcement or protection of its rights in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under
this
Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring
or
negotiations in respect of the Obligations; provided
that the
Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of separate counsel to any
Lender.
77
(b) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing
Bank, and each of the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
and Affiliates 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 reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated 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
Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.14
or the
use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to
honor a demand for payment under any such 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 any Loan
Party, or liability under any Environmental Laws related in any way to any
Loan
Party, 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 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 are determined
by
a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment (or a
settlement tantamount to such a judgment) to have resulted from the bad faith,
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Affiliate,
officer, director, employee or agent of such Indemnitee. As used in this clause
(b), the term “fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee” shall include reasonable costs and expenses of not more than one
counsel (and, if necessary, one local counsel), which may include allocable
costs and expenses of such Indemnitees’s in-house legal counsel and staff (to
the extent in substitution for, and not duplicative of, outside
counsel).
(c) To
the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or arising out of the activities in connection herewith or
therewith.
(d) All
amounts due under this Section
12.3
shall be
payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after written demand
therefor.
(e) The
agreements in this Section
12.3
shall
survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other
Obligations.
Section
12.4 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 (i) the Borrower may not 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 the Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this
Section
12.4.
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, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph
(c)
of this
Section
12.4)
and, to
the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy
or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
78
(b) (i)
Any
Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees approved by the
Administrative Agent and (so long as no Event of Default is continuing) the
Borrower (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) 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
(A) no approval of the Administrative Agent shall be required for any
assignment to an assignee that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender
immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, (B) each assignee
Lender shall provide appropriate assurances and indemnities to the Issuing
Bank
as it may reasonably require with respect to any continuing obligation to
purchase participation interests in any Drawing or other Reimbursement
Obligation, (C) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitment, the amount of the Loans and Commitment
of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered
to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each
of
the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is
continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents; (D) 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; (E) the parties to
each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500 and any required tax forms; and (F) the assignee, if it shall not be
a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire.
(ii) Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph
(b)(iv)
of this
Section
12.4,
from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment
and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1,
3.3,
3.4
and
12.3).
Upon
request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to
the
assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.4
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
(c)
of this
Section
12.4.
79
(iii) The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names
and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment 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, and the Borrower, 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. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender,
at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.
(iv) Upon
its
receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and required tax forms
executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be
a
Lender hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in
paragraph (b)(i)
of this
Section
12.4,
the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record
the
information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective
for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register
as
provided in this paragraph.
(c) (i)
Any
Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities
(each, a “Participant”)
in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided
that
(A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent 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
described in the first proviso to Section 12.1(a)
that
affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii)
of this
Section
12.4,
the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.1,
3.3
and
3.4 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b)
of this
Section
12.4.
(ii) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.1,
3.4
or
3.5
than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant. Without limitation of the preceding
sentence, (A) a Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1
unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.1(e)
as
though it were a Lender and (B) a Participant that is a United States
resident individual shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section
3.1
as if it
were a Lender unless the Participant agrees to comply with Section 3.1(g)
as
though it were a Lender.
80
(d) 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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank, and this Section
12.4
shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; 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
12.5 Confidentiality.
Each
of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality
of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed
(a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents,
including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood
that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority
(provided
that the
Administrative Agent or affected Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent
reasonably practical, give the Borrower reasonable notice prior to any such
required disclosure and an opportunity to contest such order, and the
Administrative Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable shall comply with
any
applicable protective order or equivalent imposed by any Governmental Authority
as a condition of such disclosure), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder,
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section
12.5,
to
(i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or its
advisers, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors)
to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its
obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent
such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of this Section
12.5.
For the
purposes of this Section, “Information”
means
all information received from the Borrower relating to any Loan Party or its
business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is not prohibited from
transmitting the information to the Administrative Agent or such Lender by
a
contractual or legal obligation. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section
12.5
shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information.
Section
12.6 Limitation
on Interest.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest and fees
paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum
rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Legal Requirement (the
“Maximum
Rate”).
If
the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest or a fee in an
amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excessive interest or fee shall be
applied to the principal of the outstanding Obligations or, if it exceeds the
unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest
or a fee contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or
a
Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Legal Requirement, (a) characterize any payment that is not
principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate,
allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.
81
Section
12.7 Right
of Setoff.
If
an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each
of
its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
and
other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations
of
the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under
this
Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided
that if
any such set off is effected prior to acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
Section
8.2
and all
Events of Default are cured prior to any such acceleration, such set off (other
than any portion thereof that has been applied against matured Obligations)
shall be rescinded and the deposits and other amounts so set off (other than
such portion) shall be restored to the Borrower, without interest, not later
than three (3) Business Days after the Administrative Agent has notified the
Lenders in writing that no Event of Default is continuing or, if the benefit
of
such set off has been shared by the Lenders in accordance with Section
2.13,
promptly after such Lender receives the corresponding payments from other
Lenders. The rights of each Lender under this Section
12.7
are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which
such Lender may have.
Section
12.8 Nonliability
of Financing Parties.
The
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Any
inspections of any property of the Borrower made by or through the
Administrative Agent or any other Financing Party are for purposes of
administration of the Loan Documents only, and the Borrower is not entitled
to
rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of the
Borrower);
(b) The
relationship between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the other
Financing Parties is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower
and
financing parties; neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Financing
Party shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint
venturers of any Loan Party or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent
nor any other Financing Party shall under any circumstance be deemed to be
in a
relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with any Loan
Party or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to any Loan Party or
its
Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the other Financing Parties
undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to any Loan Party or its
Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform
any such Person of any matter in connection with the operations of such Person;
each Loan Party and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment
with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise
of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection
of the Administrative Agent and each other Financing Party and neither any
Loan
Party nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon.
82
Section
12.9 Limitation
of Recourse.
There
shall be full recourse to the Borrower and all of its assets and properties
for
the liabilities of the Borrower under this Agreement, any Notes and the other
Loan Documents. Subject to clauses (i) and (iv) of the following sentence,
in no
event shall the Investor or any of its Affiliates (other than any Loan Party)
(collectively, the “Non-Recourse
Parties”),
or
any officer or director of the Borrower, be personally liable or obligated
for
such liabilities and obligations of the Borrower, except as may be specifically
provided in any Loan Document to which such Non-Recourse Party is a party.
Nothing herein contained shall limit or be construed to (i) release any
Non-Recourse Party from liability for its fraudulent actions or misappropriation
of funds by it or willful misconduct or for reimbursement of any Distribution
made to it in violation of Section
9.6,
or from
any of its obligations or liabilities under any agreement executed by such
Non-Recourse Party in its individual capacity in connection with any Loan
Document, (ii) limit or impair the exercise of remedies with respect to any
Collateral, (iii) limit the liability of any Person who is a party to a
Loan Document with respect to such liability as may arise by reason of the
terms
and conditions of such Loan Document (but subject to any limitation of liability
contained in such Loan Document), or (iv) require the Financing Parties to
indemnify the Non-Recourse Parties for liabilities or claims that may be
independently asserted against them. The provisions of this Section 12.9
shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section
12.10 Integration.
This
Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and
integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof
and
supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In
the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of
any
other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control;
provided
that the
inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict
with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation
of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor
in
favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning
thereof.
Section
12.11 Survival
of Representations and Warranties.
All
representations and warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate
or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Notes.
83
Section
12.12 Governing
Law.
This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of
the
State of New York.
Section
12.13 Submission
To Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) The
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State
of
New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court
of
the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof,
solely for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to
this Agreement (and not as a general submission to New York law), 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 New York State
or,
to the extent permitted by law, in 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 shall affect
any
right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring
any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or
its
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) The
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it
may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
or
relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph
(a)
of this
Section
12.13.
Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by
