Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 and shall specify whether the Advance is to be made as a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Rate Advance (and in the case of a LIBOR Rate Advance, the duration of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified). Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt written notice of the receipt of any such notification. Administrative Agent is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given by a person who Administrative Agent reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Administrative Agent harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Administrative Agent as a result of such reliance to the extent set forth in Section 13.9. Borrower shall establish a deposit account with Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent will credit the amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1.1 to such deposit account, and any Lender that is not Administrative Agent shall make such Advance by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent for funding into such account. Each written request for an Advance, and each confirmation of a telephone request for such an Advance, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto executed by Borrower.
(d) Interest Payments. The outstanding principal balance of each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest until principal is due, at a floating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; the outstanding principal balance of each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest until principal is due, at a floating rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Interest shall be computed daily on the basis of a year of 360 days based on the actual days elapsed. Borrower shall pay accrued and unpaid interest in arrears on each Advance that constitutes a Base Rate Advance on the first day of each calendar month; Borrower shall pay accrued and unpaid interest in arrears on each Advance that constitutes a LIBOR Rate Advance on the sooner to occur of the last day of the calendar quarter or the last day of the applicable Interest Period. All Advances shall be due and payable on the Revolving Maturity Date.
(e) Prepayment of the Advances. Subject to Section 2.7, Borrower may at any time prepay any Advance without premium or penalty. If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances at any time exceeds the Revolving Line, Borrower will immediately pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, the amount of such excess.
(f) Lenders Disbursement. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to Administrative Agent on the date of such Advance in accordance with this Section and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to Administrative Agent, such Lender and Borrower severally agree to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to such Advance and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender shall repay to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance for purposes of this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to make available its Pro Rata Share of any Advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder, to make available its Pro Rata Share of such Advance on the date of such Advance, and the provisions of Section 13.4 shall govern the Defaulting Lender’s rights and obligations.
(g) Letters of Credit.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, Administrative Agent agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrower (each, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) in an aggregate outstanding face amount not to exceed the Revolving Line minus, in each case, the aggregate principal outstanding amount of the Advances and the Swingline Advances at any time, provided that the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed $5,000,000. Letters of Credit may be requested by Borrower only to support obligations of Borrower
11
incurred in the ordinary course of business. All Letters of Credit shall be, in form and substance, acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Administrative Agent’s form of standard application and letter of credit agreement (the “Application”), which Borrower hereby agrees to execute, including Administrative Agent’s standard fee based on the face amount of each Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.6(e). On any drawn but unreimbursed Letter of Credit, the unreimbursed amount shall be deemed an Advance under Section 2.1.1. On or before the Revolving Maturity Date, Borrower shall secure in cash all obligations under any outstanding Letters of Credit on terms acceptable to Administrative Agent. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Administrative Agent for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Application, and such Letters of Credit, under all circumstances whatsoever. Borrower shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold Administrative Agent harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with any Letters of Credit, except for expenses caused by Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(ii) Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, its Pro Rata Share of the obligations relating to the Letter of Credit. If Administrative Agent makes any payment under a Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Administrative Agent, the Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment. Upon request by a Lender, Administrative Agent shall furnish copies of any Letters of Credit in its possession at such time.
(iii) The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Administrative Agent in connection with Administrative Agent’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Person may have with respect to any Obligations. Administrative Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any Loan Documents.
2.1.2 Term Advance.
(a) Advance Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of the Term Advance to Borrower on the Closing Date. The proceeds of the Term Advance shall be first used to repay in full all amounts outstanding under that certain Loan and Security Agreement by and between Borrower and East West Bank dated as of September 15, 2011, with the remaining amount being transferred to Borrower by wire transfer to such account as Borrower specifies in writing to Administrative Agent.
(b) Payment. Beginning on the first day of the first calendar quarter following the Closing Date, and continuing on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter, for so long as any part of the Term Advance remains outstanding, Borrower shall make quarterly payments of principal equal to $1,250,000 until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, then quarterly payments of principal equal to $1,875,000 until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, then quarterly payments of principal equal to $2,500,000 until the Term Maturity Date. The failure of any Lender to make available its Pro Rata Share of the Term Advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder, to make available its Pro Rata Share of such Term Advance on the date of such Term Advance, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available its Pro Rata Share of the Term Advance on the date of such Term Advance. On the Term Maturity Date, Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Term Advance, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(c) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Advance shall bear interest until principal is due (computed daily on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed) at a rate per annum equal to either the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, as
12
elected by Borrower, subject to Section 2.7. Borrower shall pay accrued and unpaid interest in arrears on the Term Advance on the first day of each calendar month, if such Term Advance constitutes a Base Rate Advance; if such Term Advance constitutes a LIBOR Rate Advance, Borrower shall pay accrued and unpaid interest in arrears on the sooner to occur of the last day of the calendar quarter or the last day of the applicable Interest Period.
(d) Optional Prepayment of the Term Advance. Borrower may at any time prepay all or any part of the Term Advance without penalty or premium (other than amounts due and payable under Section 2.7), but may not reborrow any part of the Term Advance, once repaid. Each partial prepayment shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000. Each prepayment shall be made upon the irrevocable written or telephone notice of Borrower received by Administrative Agent not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the prepayment. The notice of prepayment shall specify the date of the prepayment and the amount of the prepayment. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid and any amount required by Section 2.7.
(e) Mandatory Prepayment of the Term Advance. Immediately upon Borrower’s receipt of Net Cash Proceeds, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Advance in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. Within 120 days of the end of each fiscal year, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Advance in an amount equal to 25% of Excess Cash Flow, provided that the Leverage Ratio is greater than 1.50 to 1.00 on the last day of such fiscal year.
2.2 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rates. Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), the Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at the rates specified in Section 2.1.1, and the Term Advance shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at the rates specified in Section 2.1.2.
(b) Default Rate. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to two percent (2.0%) per annum above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default. Any such increase in the interest rate shall cease and no longer be effective if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(c) Payments. Administrative Agent shall, at its option, charge interest, all Lender Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. All payments shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes or other charges imposed by any jurisdiction.
(d) Computation. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased effective as of the day the Base Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.
(e) Withholding. Payments received by Administrative Agent or Lenders from Borrower hereunder will be made free and clear of any withholding taxes, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes. Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires Borrower to make any such withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Lenders, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, each Lender receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required and Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower will not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any taxes that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to deliver Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECL, to the extent applicable. Borrower will, upon request, furnish Lenders with proof reasonably satisfactory to Lenders indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount
13
or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower. The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(f) Promissory Notes. Any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that Credit Extensions made by it be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D hereto. In such event, Borrower shall promptly (and, in all events, within five Business Days of receipt of such request) execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, such Lender and Administrative Agent).
(g) Swap Fixed Rate. At Borrower’s request, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall enter into such agreements as are mutually acceptable to effect a fixed rate swap arrangement in respect of the Obligations under this Agreement.
2.3 Crediting Payments. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the receipt by Administrative Agent of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon Pacific Time shall be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Administrative Agent or Lenders under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.
2.4 Payments to Lenders. Borrower shall make payments owing under Section 2.1 and 2.2 to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, as applicable. Promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of Borrower in respect of any Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to Lenders pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received. Administrative Agent shall make such distribution on the same Business Day if received from Borrower by 12:00 noon, Pacific Time, and on the next Business Day if received after 12:00 noon.
2.5 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Credit Extensions owing to it in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments on account of the Credit Extensions obtained by all the Lenders, then such Lender shall immediately purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Credit Extensions owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section or any other provision of this Agreement may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right to set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
2.6 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the following:
(a) Unused Facility Fee. Within 5 days of the last day of each calendar quarter, (i) a fee equal to 0.20% per annum of the difference between the Revolving Line and the average daily balance of outstanding Advances during such quarter for pro rata distribution to the Lenders if Borrower’s Debt Service Coverage Ratio for such quarter is at least 1.75 to 1:00; or (ii) a fee equal to 0.25% per annum of the difference between the Revolving Line and the average daily balance of outstanding Advances during such quarter for pro rata distribution to the Lenders if Borrower’s Debt Service Coverage Ratio for such quarter is less than 1.75 to 1:00;
14
(b) Letter of Credit Fees. As a condition to the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit; and at the end of each quarter during which any Letters of Credit are outstanding a fee equal to 2.25% of the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit when the Debt Service Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00, (ii) 2.50% of the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit when the Debt Service Ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00, or (iii) 2.75% of the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit at all other times;
(c) Other Fees. Fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and
(d) Lender Expenses. On the Closing Date, all Lender Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses; and, after the Closing Date, all Lender Expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, as and when they become due.
2.7 Additional Provisions Regarding LIBOR Advances.
(a) Borrower may from time to time submit in writing a request that any existing LIBOR Rate Advances continue for an additional Interest Period with the same or different duration. Such request shall specify the Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advances. Each written request for a continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be substantially in the form of a Libor Rate Continuation Certificate as set forth on Exhibit B-2, which shall be duly executed by a Responsible Officer. Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt written notice of the receipt of any such request. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s receipt of such a request from Borrower, such LIBOR Rate Advances shall continue, as the case may be provided that:
(i) no Event of Default or event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default exists;
(ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of the Agreement;
(iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Administrative Agent has established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for LIBOR Rate Advances;
(iv) the amount of a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be $1,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000; and
(v) Administrative Agent shall have determined that the Interest Period or LIBOR Rate is available to Lenders as of the date of the request for such LIBOR Rate Advance.
Any request by Borrower to continue any existing LIBOR Rate Advances shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender shall be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR Rate market to fund any LIBOR Rate Advances, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Lenders had purchased such deposits to fund the LIBOR Rate Advances.
(b) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subsections (i) through (v) of Section 2.7(a), any LIBOR Rate Advances shall automatically continue for the same Interest Period upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Administrative Agent has received and approved a complete and proper request to continue such LIBOR Rate Advance for a different Interest Period at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof or to convert such LIBOR Rate Advances to Base Rate Advances, provided that principal payments shall in all cases be paid on the 15th day of each month. Any LIBOR Rate
15
Advances shall, at Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s option, convert to Base Rate Advances in the event that an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing; provided that Administrative Agent will use its reasonable efforts to mitigate LIBOR break-funding costs by effecting such conversion on the last day of an Interest Period. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent and any affected Lender, within five Business Days’ of receipt by Borrower of written demand by Administrative Agent or such Lender(s), any amounts required to compensate Administrative Agent or such Lender for any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits but including customary LIBOR break-funding costs actually incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender), cost or expense incurred by such Person, as a result of the conversion of LIBOR Rate Advances to Base Rate Advances on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period pursuant to any of the foregoing.
(c) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Administrative Agent receives all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Rate Advance prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Advance, Borrower shall, within five Business Days’ of receipt by Borrower of written demand by Administrative Agent, pay Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period or term exceeds (ii) the interest that would have been recoverable by Administrative Agent by placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets or the offshore currency interbank markets or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such Interest Period or term at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
(d) If (i) Administrative Agent shall have determined that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or (ii) Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such a determination, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any LIBOR Advances requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Advances, and (y) any outstanding LIBOR Advances shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Advances. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further LIBOR Advances shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Credit Extensions to LIBOR Advances.
2.8 Yield Protection. In case any law, regulation, treaty or official directive or the interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof by any court or any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other governmental authority:
(a) subjects Administrative Agent or a Lender to any tax with respect to payments of principal or interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by Borrower or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (except for franchise taxes and taxes on the overall net income of Administrative Agent or such Lender);
(b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, Administrative Agent or a Lender; or
(c) imposes upon Administrative Agent or a Lender any other condition with respect to its performance under this Agreement,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Administrative Agent or any Lender, reduce the income receivable by Administrative Agent or any Lender or impose any expense upon Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case with respect to the Obligations, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent or the affected Lender(s) the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense as and when such cost, reduction or expense is incurred or determined, upon presentation by Administrative Agent or the affected Lender(s) of a statement of the amount and setting forth
16
Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s calculation thereof, all in reasonable detail, within five Business Days of Borrower’s receipt of such statement. For purposes of this Section, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L. 111-203, H.R. 4173), and any rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on the Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a “change in law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or promulgated, whether before or after the Closing Date.
2.9 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as issuer of a Letter of Credit, determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or Administrative Agent, or the office, branch, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any corporation or holding company controlling such Lender or the Administrative Agent, is increased as a result of (i) a change in law or (ii) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (such changes in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) referred to as a “Change in Law”), then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Administrative Agent the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Credit Extensions made hereunder or its commitment to make Credit Extensions and issue or participate in Letters of Credit, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s (and their respective holding company’s) policies as to capital adequacy or liquidity), in each case that is attributable to such change in law or change in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, as applicable; provided, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
2.10 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 13.14, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity Obligations) remain outstanding or Administrative Agent or any Lender has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent and each Lender may terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding termination, the Lien granted under this Agreement shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity Obligations) are outstanding.
3. | CONDITIONS OF CREDIT EXTENSIONS. |
3.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension. The obligation of a Lender to make the initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that Administrative Agent shall have received, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Lenders, the following:

(b) the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Payment/Advance Form and on the effective date of each Credit Extension as though made at and as of each such date, and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would exist after giving effect to such Credit Extension (provided, however, that those representations and warranties expressly referring to another date shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such date). The making of each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2(b).
4. | CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. |
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens. If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim (as defined in the Code) with a value exceeding $250,000, Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof (and further details as may be required by Administrative Agent) and grant to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. If this Agreement is terminated, Administrative Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as Lenders’ obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release their Liens in the Collateral.
4.2 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, at the request of Administrative Agent, all Negotiable Collateral exceeding $250,000 in aggregate value, all financing statements and other documents that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, to perfect and continue perfected the security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.
4.3 Right to Inspect. Each of Administrative Agent and Syndication Administrative Agent (through any of their respective officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right from time to time, but no more than once a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to audit Borrower’s Accounts, inspect Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s
18
financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral, during normal business hours and (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) with reasonable prior notice to Borrower.
4.4 Pledge of Shares. Borrower pledges and grants to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a security interest in (a) all shares of stock in any Subsidiary incorporated in any state of the United States, and (b) all of the shares of stock of all Foreign Subsidiaries (including Ubiquiti Networks International Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Ubiquiti Hong Kong”)), in each case, owned by Borrower (the shares described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), collectively, the “Shares”), together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations; provided however that the “Shares” shall not include a pledge of more than sixty five percent (65%) of the Shares of a Subsidiary that is a CFC if such pledge creates a present and existing adverse tax consequence to Borrower under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. For avoidance of doubt, the Shares shall exclude 35% of the shares of stock in Ubiquiti Networks International Limited, a Hong Kong company, owned by Borrower. Borrower represents that the Shares are not evidenced by any certificates or, if they are represented by one or more certificates, Borrower shall deliver such certificate(s) to Administrative Agent, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Borrower, and Borrower shall cause the books of each such Subsidiary and any transfer agent to reflect such pledge. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may effect the transfer of the Shares to the name of Administrative Agent and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Administrative Agent or its transferee. Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of the security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Borrower represents to Administrative Agent and Lenders that the Shares are not held in a brokerage or similar securities account.

8.5 Insolvency. If Borrower or Ubiquiti Hong Kong generally fails to pay its debts as they become due, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by Borrower or Ubiquiti Hong Kong, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced against Borrower or Ubiquiti Hong Kong and is not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding);
8.6 Other Agreements. If there is a default in any material agreement to which Borrower or Ubiquiti Hong Kong is a party with a third party or parties resulting in the right by such third party or parties whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000);

8.9 Misrepresentations.

If any guaranty by a Subsidiary of all or a portion of the Obligations (a “Guaranty”) ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, other than due to the act or omission of Bank, or any such Subsidiary fails to perform any material obligation under any Guaranty or a security agreement securing any Guaranty (collectively, the “Guaranty Documents”), or any event of default occurs under any Guaranty Document or any such Subsidiary guarantor revokes or purports to revoke a Guaranty, or any representation or warranty by such Subsidiary guarantor set forth in any Guaranty Document or in any certificate delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with any Guaranty Document is incorrect in any material respect when made, or if any of the circumstances described in Sections 8.3 through 8.8 occurs with respect to any such Subsidiary guarantor.
9. | ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. |
9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default when any Obligations are outstanding, Administrative Agent may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Administrative Agent);
27
(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Administrative Agent;
(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Administrative Agent reasonably considers advisable;
(d) Make such payments and do such acts as Administrative Agent considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral;
(e) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Administrative Agent, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Administrative Agent;
(f) Ship, store, finish, repair, prepare for disposition, and dispose of the Collateral in accordance with the Code, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Administrative Agent deems appropriate, including without limitation the application of such proceeds to all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such disposition;
(g) Administrative Agent may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and
(h) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent (and any of Administrative Agent’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Administrative Agent’s possession; (c) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Administrative Agent determines to be reasonable; (g) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where permitted by law; and (h) to dispose of the Collateral to the extent permitted under the Code; provided Administrative Agent may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4 regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Administrative Agent as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Administrative Agent’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Administrative Agent’s obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.
9.3 Accounts Collection. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Administrative Agent’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Administrative Agent, receive in trust all payments as Administrative Agent’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Administrative Agent in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Right of Set-off. Subject to Section 2.6, in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Lender is authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against and on account of
28
the Obligations and liabilities of Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.
9.5 Administrative Agent and Lender Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Administrative Agent may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Facility as Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect Administrative Agent from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Administrative Agent deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Administrative Agent shall constitute Lender Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Administrative Agent shall not constitute an agreement by Administrative Agent to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Administrative Agent of any Event of Default under this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower shall reimburse each Lender, upon demand, for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with any of the Loan Documents.
9.6 [Reserved].
9.7 Administrative Agent’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Administrative Agent complies with reasonable banking practices, Administrative Agent shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
9.8 Shares. Borrower recognizes that Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Shares, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in federal securities laws and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under federal securities laws or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which continues, Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise all such rights as a secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code as it, in its sole judgment, shall deem necessary or appropriate, including without limitation the right to liquidate the Shares and apply the proceeds thereof to reduce the Obligations. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent (and any of Administrative Agent’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to enforce Borrower’s rights against any Subsidiary, including the right to compel any Subsidiary to make payments or distributions owing to Borrower.
9.9 Remedies Cumulative. Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Administrative Agent shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Administrative Agent of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Administrative Agent of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Administrative Agent shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Administrative Agent shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Administrative Agent and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
29
9.10 Demand; Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Administrative Agent on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

11. | JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE. |
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER, LENDERS AND AGENT EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Xxxxx County, California; and the parties
30
hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Xxxxx County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.
12. | THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. |
12.1 Authorization and Action. Each Lender appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including enforcement or collection of the Notes), Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, no Lender shall take any action to collect amounts due hereunder, enforce any obligations of Borrower or exercise any remedies against Borrower arising out of this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of (a) each notice or report given to it by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including but not limited to those set forth in Section 6.3 hereof), and (b) any Event of Default hereunder. The provisions of this Article 12 are solely for the benefit of Lenders and Administrative Agent and Borrower has no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof.
12.2 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent: (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
12.3 East West Bank and Affiliates. With respect to its obligations hereunder, the Advances made by it, and the Note issued to it, East West Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any
31
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include East West Bank in its individual capacity. East West Bank and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, any of its subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower or any such subsidiary, all as if East West Bank were not Administrative Agent, and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.
12.4 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.
12.5 Indemnification. Lenders shall indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Obligations then held by each of them (or if no Obligations are at the time outstanding, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Credit Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under this Agreement in its capacity as Administrative Agent, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that both Lenders and Borrower have indemnification obligations with respect to any matter, the indemnification obligations of Borrower shall be primary and the indemnification obligations of Lenders shall be secondary with respect to such matter, and if Administrative Agent shall recover any amount from Borrower with respect to Borrower’s indemnification obligation for which the Administrative Agent has received any payment from Lenders, Administrative Agent shall return to such contributing Lenders on a pro rata basis any amount in excess of the amount necessary to fully indemnify Administrative Agent
12.6 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the prior consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that such consent of the Borrower shall not be required at any time an Event of Default exists. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial Lender organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
32
13. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
13.1 Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders affected thereby, do any of the following: (a) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (b) postpone any date fixed for, or amount of, any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (c) increase the Credit Commitment of any Lender or subject such Lender to any additional obligations, (d) change the percentage of the Credit Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Obligations, or the number of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, (e) amend the definition of “Required Lenders” set forth in Section 1.1, or (f) release any material portion of any Collateral (other than in connection with a Transfer permitted under Section 7.1), or (g) amend this Section 13.1; and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. With the consent of the Required Lenders, additional Lenders may execute this Agreement, and, as a consequence of such additions, the aggregate Credit Commitments hereunder may be increased.
13.2 Notices, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile communication) and mailed or sent by facsimile or delivered, if to the Borrower, at its address set forth on the signature page hereof; and if to any Lender, or an Administrative Agent, at its address set forth on the signature page hereof; or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties. All such notices and communications shall be effective three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, when sent by facsimile, or when delivered, respectively.
13.3 Additional Lenders; Assignments; Participations.
(a) None of the Loan Documents nor any rights thereunder may be assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of all the Lenders, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Lenders’ sole discretion. Upon prior written notice to Borrower, any Lender may assign, from time to time, all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Credit Commitments in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) $5,000,000 or (2) one hundred percent (100%) of such Lender’s interest in the Credit Commitments and Obligations to (i) an Affiliate of that Lender, without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent or Borrower, or (ii) any other financial institution acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that an assignee may not assign its interest without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and Borrower, which consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided further that the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower an assignment and assumption agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (each, an “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”). Upon (A) such execution and delivery and (B) except in the case of an assignment pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, payment of a fee in the amount of $3,500 to Administrative Agent to cover administrative costs, from and after the effective date of such assignment (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 13.3(f)), and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto, subject to its continuing obligations under Section 13.3(f). Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 13.3(a) or Section 13.3(b) below shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent to any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as contemplated by Section 13.1, the consent of the
33
Required Lenders is required but cannot be obtained for the lack of consent by a Lender, then the Administrative Agent or Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause any such non-accepting or non-consenting Lender (each, a “Replaced Lender”) to assign (a “Forced Assignment”) all of the Credit Commitments and other rights and obligations of the Replaced Lender under the Loan Documents to another Person (which may be a Lender or shall be any other Person reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (such Lender or other Person, a “Replacement Lender”)) identified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the Replaced Lender, provided that such Replacement Lender is willing to consent to the proposed amendment, waiver or consent.
If a Forced Assignment occurs, the Replaced Lender and the Replacement Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the outstanding Credit Commitments of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (a) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Credit Commitments of the Replaced Lender, and (b) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees, expenses and other reimbursable costs owing to the Replaced Lender under the Loan Documents. Upon (i) the execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in connection with a Forced Assignment by the Replaced Lender and the Replacement Lender; (ii) delivery of a copy of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Replacement Lender; (iii) the payment to the Replaced Lender by the Replacement Lender of the amounts referred to in the preceding sentence; (iv) the payment to the Replaced Lender by the Borrower all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in the preceding sentence); and (v) the payment to the Administrative Agent by the Replacement Lender of a $3,500 processing fee; the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 13.10), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender with respect to any liabilities incurred by such Replaced Lender relating to periods prior to the date such Replaced Lender ceased to be a Lender hereunder. A Replacement Lender shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.2(e) and Section 2.8 with respect to any participation than the Replaced Lender would have been entitled to receive.
(c) Each Lender may sell, negotiate or grant participations to other parties in all or part of the obligations of the Borrower outstanding under the Loan Documents, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided that any such sale, negotiation or participation shall be in compliance with the applicable federal and state securities laws and the other requirements of this Section. No participant shall constitute a “Lender” under any Loan Document, and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Administrative Agent and the Lenders. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.2(e) and Section 2.8 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive.
(d) Each Lender may disclose to any proposed assignee or participant any information relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that prior to such disclosure such proposed assignee or participant shall have agreed in writing to keep any such information confidential substantially on the terms of Section 13.3(f).
(e) The grant of a participation interest shall be on such terms as the granting Lender determines are appropriate, provided only that (i) the holder of such a participation interest shall not have any of the rights of a Lender under this Agreement, (ii) the consent of the holder of such a participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents, provided that the granting Lender may agree in its participation agreement with its participant that such granting Lender will not (without the consent of the holder of such participation interest) vote to (A) extend the term of the Credit Commitments, (B) decrease the rate of interest or the amount of any fee or any other amount payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, (C) reduce the principal amount payable under the Loan Documents, or (D) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents, which would require the consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 hereof, and (iii) the holder may not transfer or participate any of its interest without the consent of the Administrative Agent.

13.4 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Definition. For the purposes of this Agreement a “Defaulting Lender” shall be defined as follows: any Lender that (i) has failed to (A) fund all or any portion of its Credit Commitments within two (2) Business Days of the date such Credit Commitments were required to be funded hereunder, or (B) pay to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder (including in respect of its participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Advances) within two (2) Business Days of the date when due, (ii) has notified the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in writing that it does not intend to comply with its funding obligations hereunder, or has made a public statement to that effect, (iii) has failed, within three (3) Business Days after written request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, to confirm in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that it will comply with its prospective funding obligations hereunder (provided that such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause (iii) upon receipt of such written confirmation by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), or (iv) has, or has a direct or indirect parent company that has, (Y) become the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy insolvency or debtor relief law, or (Z) had appointed for it a receiver, custodian, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of its business or assets (other than in connection with a supervisory action where applicable law requires that such supervisory appointment not be publicly disclosed), including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other state or federal regulatory authority acting in such a capacity; provided that a Lender shall not be a Defaulting Lender solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any equity interest in that Lender or any direct or indirect parent company thereof by a governmental authority so long as such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Lender with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Lender (or such governmental authority) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made with such Lender. Any determination by the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender under any one or more of clauses (i) through (iv) above shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender (subject to Section 13.4(c)) upon delivery of written notice of such determination to the Borrower and each Lender.
(b) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.4, shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to
35
the Administrative Agent hereunder in connection with its role as Administrative Agent; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent in connection with fronting exposure for Swingline Advances or Letters of Credit; third, to cash collateralize the Administrative Agent’s exposure in connection with the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any issued Letters of Credit with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 13.4(e); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Credit Extension in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Credit Extensions under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Administrative Agent’s Letter of Credit fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of Letters of Credit to be issued in the future under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 13.4(e); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Administrative Agent against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; eighth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, distributed to the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lender until the ratio of the Pro Rata Share of outstanding Credit Extensions of such Lenders to the aggregate outstanding Credit Extensions equals such ratio immediately prior to the Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund any portion of any Credit Extensions or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Advances; and ninth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Credit Extensions or Letter of Credit issuances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Credit Extensions were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Credit Extensions of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Credit Extensions of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Credit Extensions and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Credit Commitments without giving effect to Section 13.4(b)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.4(b)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any unused facility fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). (B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit fronting fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash Collateral pursuant to Section 13.4(e). (C) With respect to any unused facility or letter of credit fronting fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (y) pay to each non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and other Credit Extensions that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Advances shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Credit Commitment) but only (x) if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, and (y) to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate outstanding aggregate Credit Extensions of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
36
(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Advances. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Advances in an amount equal to the applicable Lender’s fronting exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the applicable Lender’s Letter of Credit fronting exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.4(e).
(c) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Credit Extensions of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Credit Extensions and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Credit Commitments (without giving effect to Section 13.4(b)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(d) New Swingline Advances and Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to fund any Swingline Advances unless it is satisfied that it will have no fronting exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Advance and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letters of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no fronting exposure after giving effect thereto.
(e) Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall cash collateralize the full amount of the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of issued Letters of Credit (determined after giving effect to Section 13.4(b)(iv) and any cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).
(i) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, in connection with issued Letters of Credit, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash Collateral is less than the full amount of Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate face amount of all issued Letters of Credit, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(ii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash Collateral provided under this Section 13.4 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(iii) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations shall no longer be required to be held as cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.4(e) following (i) the elimination of the applicable fronting exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent that there exists excess cash Collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 13.4 the Person providing cash Collateral and the Administrative Agent may agree that cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated fronting exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.
37
13.5 Effectiveness; Binding Effect; Governing Law. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and all the Lenders. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW DOCTRINE.

Borrower irrevocably waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to venue to the extent any proceeding is brought in accordance with this Section. Borrower designates and appoints each Responsible Officer, from time to time, and such other Persons as may hereafter be selected by Borrower irrevocably agreeing in writing to so serve as its agent to receive on its behalf service of all process in any such proceedings in any such court, such service being hereby acknowledged by Borrower to be effective and binding service in every respect. A copy of any such process so served shall be mailed by registered mail to Borrower at its address provided in the applicable signature page hereto, except that unless otherwise provided by applicable law, any failure to mail such copy shall not affect the validity of service of process. If any agent appointed by Borrower refuses to accept service, Borrower hereby agrees that service upon it by mail shall constitute sufficient notice. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against Borrower in courts of any jurisdiction.
13.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement with Exhibits and Schedules and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, provided that any financing statements previously filed for the benefit of Administrative Agent and/or any Lender shall continue to perfect Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral.
13.8 Separability of Provisions.

The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent and Lenders with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 13.9 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against any of them have run.
