The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

The Extension Request must specify the new Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date requested by the Borrower with respect thereto (“Extension Date”), which shall be not more than five years after the effective date of the amendment to this Agreement establishing such Extension Date (the “Extension Effective Date”). The Extension Request shall be accompanied by a certificate, signed by the chief financial officer, controller, chief accounting officer or treasurer of the Borrower, stating that on the date of the Extension Request, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing and that all of the representations and warranties in Article VI are true and correct in all material respects (except (i) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date and (ii) to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects). On the Extension Effective
40
Date, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate, signed by the chief financial officer, controller, chief accounting officer or treasurer of the Borrower, stating that on the Extension Effective Date, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing and that all of the representations and warranties in Article VI are true and correct in all material respects (except (i) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date and (ii) to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects). Promptly upon receipt of an Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility of the contents thereof and shall request that each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility approve the Extension Request (which approval may be given or withheld by each Lender in its sole discretion). If an Extension Request requests an extension of the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, a Lender may, at its election, approve or deny an extension of the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date (it being understood that no Lender shall be under any obligation to approve an extension of the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date). Each Lender approving an Extension Request shall deliver its written approval no later than 25 days following such Extension Request (or such longer or shorter period as shall be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such period, the “Extension Period”)). If written approval of the Required Lenders is not received by the Administrative Agent within such Extension Period, the Extension Request shall be denied. If such written approval of the Required Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility is received by the Administrative Agent within such Extension Period, the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date shall be extended to the Extension Date but only with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility that have given such written approval. Except to the extent that a Lender that did not give its written approval to such Extension Request under the Revolving Credit Facility (each a “Revolving Credit Declining Lender”) is replaced prior to its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date as provided in Section 2.20 or such Revolving Credit Declining Lender subsequently elects to extend its Revolving Credit Commitment in accordance with Section 2.1.1(c), (a) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment shall be decreased by the Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Revolving Credit Declining Lender, which Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate on (and the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment shall decrease effective as of) the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, as determined prior to such Extension Request (the “Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date”), or the date that the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Credit Declining Lender is terminated in accordance with Section 2.21, as the case may be and (b) the Loans and all interest, fees and other amounts owed to such Revolving Credit Declining Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to which it is a Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall be paid in full on each such Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date or as otherwise provided in Section 2.21.
2.18 Facility Increase.
(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase (“Facility Increase”) in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment (within the limitations herein provided), which notice shall set forth the amount of such requested Facility Increase. The Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment may be so increased either by having one or more New
41
Revolving Credit Lenders become Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and/or by having any one or more of the then existing Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility (at their respective election in their sole discretion) that have been approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Company (such approval by the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), increase the amount of their Revolving Credit Commitments, provided that (i) each Facility Increase shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, (ii) after giving effect to the Facility Increase, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Facility Limit, (iii) no Unmatured Default or Default exists or would exist after giving effect to the Facility Increase, (iv) all financial covenants set forth in Section 7.28 would be satisfied on a pro forma basis for the most recent determination period, after giving effect to such Facility Increase as if it occurred on the last day of such determination period (and assuming such Facility Increase is fully borrowed) and (v) any Facility Increase shall be on the terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility.
(b) As a condition to a Facility Increase, (i) the Borrower and each Additional Lender shall have executed and delivered a commitment and acceptance (the “Commitment and Acceptance”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have accepted and executed the same (such acceptance and execution by the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) if requested by an Additional Lender, the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent the applicable Note payable to such Additional Lender (or its registered assigns); (iii) the Guarantors shall have consented in writing to the Facility Increase and shall have agreed that their Guaranty Agreements continue in full force and effect; (iv) the Borrower and each Additional Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such Facility Increase; and (v) if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent opinions of counsel (substantially similar to the forms of opinions provided for in Section 5.1 (viii), modified to apply to the Facility Increase and to each Note, Commitment and Acceptance, and other documents executed and delivered in connection with such Facility Increase). The form and substance of the documents required under clauses (i) through (v) above shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide written notice to all of the Lenders hereunder of the Facility Increase.
(c) Upon the effective date of any Facility Increase pursuant to the provisions hereof (the “Increase Date”), which Increase Date shall be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower, each applicable Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent, then: (A) such Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, from the Revolving Credit Lenders party to this Agreement immediately prior to the Increase Date, an undivided interest and participation in any Facility Letter of Credit then outstanding, ratably, such that each Revolving Credit Lender (including each Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility) holds a participation interest in each such Facility Letter of Credit in the amount of its then Revolving Credit Ratable Share thereof; (B) on such Increase Date, the Borrower shall repay all outstanding Floating Rate Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility and reborrow a Floating Rate Advance in a like amount from the Revolving Credit Lenders (including each Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility); (C) except as provided in clause (D), such Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility shall not participate in any then outstanding Eurodollar Ratable
42
Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility; (D) if the Borrower shall at any time on or after such Increase Date convert or continue any Eurodollar Ratable Advance that was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility on such Increase Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to repay such Eurodollar Ratable Advance on the date of the conversion or continuation thereof and then to reborrow as a Revolving Credit Ratable Advance a like amount on such date so that the Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility shall make a Revolving Credit Ratable Loan on such date; and (E) such Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility shall make its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of all Revolving Credit Ratable Advances made on or after such Increase Date (including those referred to in clauses (B) and (D) above) and shall otherwise have all of the rights and obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder on and after such Increase Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Default prior to the date on which such Additional Lender is holding Eurodollar Ratable Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility equal to its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of all Eurodollar Ratable Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility, such Additional Lender shall, upon notice from the Administrative Agent, on or after the date on which the Obligations are accelerated or become due following such Default, pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the other Revolving Credit Lenders, to which the Administrative Agent shall pay their Revolving Credit Ratable Shares thereof upon receipt) a sum equal to such Additional Lender’s Revolving Credit Ratable Share of each Eurodollar Ratable Advance then outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to which such Additional Lender does not then hold a Eurodollar Ratable Loan equal to its Revolving Credit Ratable Share thereof; such payment by such Additional Lender shall constitute an ABR Loan hereunder.
(d) Solely for purposes of clause (i) of the definition of “Required Lenders,” until such time as an Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility holds Revolving Credit Ratable Loans equaling its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of all outstanding Revolving Credit Ratable Advances, the amount of such Additional Lender’s new Revolving Credit Commitment or the increased amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment (as applicable) shall be excluded from the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments and there shall be included in lieu thereof at any time an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding Revolving Credit Ratable Loans and the participation interests in Facility Letters of Credit held by such Additional Lender with respect to its new Revolving Credit Commitment or the increased amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, any Facility Increase pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Additional Lenders. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment or agreement on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder at any time or a commitment or agreement on the part of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to give or grant any Lender the right to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder at any time.
2.19 [Reserved].
2.20 Replacement of a Lender. If a Lender (“Affected Lender”) (a) sustains or incurs a loss or expense or reduction of income and requests reimbursement therefor from the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5, (b) determines that maintenance of any of its Eurodollar
43
Ratable Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable Law or it is otherwise impossible for such Lender (or its Lending Installation) to make, maintain or fund its Eurodollar Ratable Loans and so notifies the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.3, (c) is a Revolving Credit Declining Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or (d) is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may on or after the date on which the Borrower receives such request (in the case of clause (a) above) or after the date on which the Administrative Agent gives the Borrower notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the notice from such Lender under Section 3.3 (in the case of clause (b) above) or at any time prior to such Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date (in the case of clause (c) above) or at any time after the date that it is determined that such Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender (in the case of clause (c) above) or after it is reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower, that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (in the case of clause (d) above) (and such Lender has not ceased to be a Defaulting Lender) notify the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender that a Replacement Lender designated by the Borrower in the notice has agreed to replace such Lender with respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans, provided that (i) any Replacement Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) any Replacement Lender shall not constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement; (iii) any assignment to a Replacement Lender shall be subject to Section 13.3; and (iv) the Borrower shall have paid any amounts due pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 to the Affected Lender to be replaced on or before such replacement. The Affected Lender to be replaced shall assign, as applicable, its Revolving Credit Commitment, Loans and interests in outstanding Facility Letters of Credit hereunder to the Replacement Lender pursuant to the procedures for assignments contained in Section 13.3 (except as to any minimum amount requirements set forth therein) and shall receive, concurrently with such assignments, payment from such Replacement Lender of an amount equal to all outstanding amounts payable to such Affected Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, including without limitation the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans held by such Affected Lender, all interest thereon to the date of the assignment, all accrued fees to the date of such assignment and any amounts payable under Section 3.4 with respect to any payment of any Eurodollar Ratable Loan resulting from such assignment. Such Affected Lender shall not be responsible for the payment to the Administrative Agent of the fee provided for in Section 13.3.2, which fee shall be paid by such Replacement Lender. In the case of an assignment by (i) a Revolving Credit Declining Lender under this Section 2.20, the Replacement Lender that is the assignee of the Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall agree at the time of such assignment to the extension to the Extension Date of the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, which agreement shall be set forth in a written instrument delivered and satisfactory to the Borrower and (in its reasonable discretion) the Administrative Agent or (ii) a Non-Consenting Lender under this Section 2.20, the Replacement Lender that is the assignee of the Non-Consenting Lender shall agree at the time of such assignment to the amendment, consent or waiver which such Non-Consenting Lender has not consented to, which agreement shall be set forth in a written instrument delivered and satisfactory to the Borrower and (in its reasonable discretion) the Administrative Agent.
2.21 Termination of Revolving Credit Commitment of Revolving Credit Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender. At any time prior to the replacement of a Revolving Credit Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrower may, upon not less than 15 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as shall be
44
agreed by the Administrative Agent) and such Revolving Credit Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as of a Business Day (in the case of the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Revolving Credit Declining Lender, prior to the Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date) set forth in such notice; provided, however, that if such Revolving Credit Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, is an Issuing Bank with one or more outstanding Facility Letters of Credit, the termination of its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be permitted only upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 4.10. In the event of such termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Revolving Credit Declining Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the date of termination of such Revolving Credit Commitment, for the account of such Revolving Credit Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, all Loans and other sums payable to such Revolving Credit Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, hereunder under the Revolving Credit Facility and all amounts (if any) payable to such Revolving Credit Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, under Section 3.4 under the Revolving Credit Facility by reason of such payment. Such Revolving Credit Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 4.6, 4.9 and 10.6(b) to the extent such Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s or Non-Consenting Lender’s, as the case may be, entitlement to such benefit arose out of its position as a Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility prior to the termination of its Revolving Credit Commitment.
2.22 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment, Etc. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Facility Letter of Credit Exposure:
(i) the Facility Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (a) after giving effect to such reallocation, the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total of the Revolving Credit Exposure may not in any event exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (b) subject to Section 10.15, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; and
(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Exposure cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than two Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of any Issuing Bank), cash collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to such Issuing Bank in respect
45
of such Facility Letter of Credit Exposure (other than Facility Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to Alternative Letters of Credit) of such Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Facility Letter of Credit Exposure (other than Facility Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to Alternative Letters of Credit).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, then prior to any reallocation pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(i) above, the Borrower shall be required to cash collateralize the Facility Letter of Credit Exposure (other than Facility Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to Alternative Letters of Credit) of such Defaulting Lender and such reallocation shall only occur if the Borrower fails to cash collateralize the Facility Letter of Credit Exposure (other than Facility Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to Alternative Letters of Credit) of such Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after written demand to do so by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of any Issuing Bank).
(b) Fees.
(i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any Undrawn Fee accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.4 and the Borrower shall no longer be required to pay the portion of the Undrawn Fee accruing during such period that would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender.
(ii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any Facility Letter of Credit Fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 4.7(a) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees to the extent provided herein); provided that (x) to the extent that all or a portion of the Facility Letter of Credit Exposure of a Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(i), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender on the portion so reallocated will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, and (y) to the extent any portion of such Facility Letter of Credit Exposure cannot be so reallocated, such Facility Letter of Credit Fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Issuing Banks based on their pro rata share of the undrawn face amount of Facility Letters of Credit outstanding; provided that if at any time and so long as the Borrower shall have cash collateralized the Facility Letter of Credit Exposure of a Defaulting Lender as required pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(ii), then the Borrower shall no longer be required to pay Facility Letter of Credit Fees in respect of such cash collateralized amounts in respect of the Facility Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender.
(c) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitment. So long as no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof); provided that (i) prior to any such termination, the Borrower shall have repaid in full all
46
outstanding Revolving Credit Advances (without any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) and all accrued but unpaid interest and fees hereunder owing to such Defaulting Lender and (ii) such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender; provided further that in the case of the termination of a Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, if such Defaulting Lender is an Issuing Bank with one or more outstanding Facility Letters of Credit (other than any Alternative Letters of Credit), then the Borrower shall either (A) be required to fully cash collateralize such Facility Letters of Credit in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 4.10 or (B) if acceptable to such Defaulting Lender, provide other alternatives acceptable to such Defaulting Lender in its sole discretion.
(d) Reallocation of Payments. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, except in connection with a termination of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.22(c) above, any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest-bearing account until (subject to Section 2.22(e)) the earlier of (x) termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and (y) the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date applicable to such Defaulting Lender and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder to all Lenders owing on such Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, and third after the earlier of (x) termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and (y) the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date applicable to such Defaulting Lender and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder to all Lenders owing on such Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. For the sake of clarity, it is understood and agreed that any payment by the Borrower on account of the obligations of a Defaulting Lender shall be and be deemed to be a payment by the Borrower to such Defaulting Lender (and no interest will thereafter accrue on such amount) whether or not such payment is paid to such Defaulting Lender or deposited in the above-referenced non-interest bearing account.
(e) Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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 amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.22(d)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the total Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Advances and Facility Letter of Credit participation obligations pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in
47
accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, 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 such 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 Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
ARTICLE III
INCREASED COSTS; TAXES
3.1 Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Ratable Advance any such requirement included in an applicable Statutory Reserve Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Installation) or Issuing Bank, shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Installation), Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent or on the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting its Eurodollar Ratable Advances or its obligation to make Eurodollar Ratable Advances, or shall subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Installation) or Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Ratable Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Installation), Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto by an amount deemed by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to be material, then, within 30 days after demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such increased cost or reduction; provided, however, that at such time such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.1 shall not apply to Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes.
3.2 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any Lending Installation of such Lender or Issuing Bank regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity, as applicable) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such reduction; provided,
48
however, that at such time such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.2 shall not apply to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 3.1 and Section 3.5.
3.3 Availability of Certain Revolving Credit Advances; Illegality.
(a) (i) If the Required Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility determine that (A) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Ratable Advances are not available or (B) the interest rate applicable to a Rate Option does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining the applicable Revolving Credit Ratable Advance, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Rate Option under the Revolving Credit Facility or (ii) if, after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Official Body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Installation) with any request or directive issued after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Official Body shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Lending Installation) to make, maintain or fund its Eurodollar Ratable Advances hereunder such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make such Eurodollar Ratable Advances shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.3, such Lender shall designate a different Lending Installation if such different Lending Installation is available to the applicable Lender, such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and such designation will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Eurodollar Ratable Advances to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, each such Eurodollar Ratable Advance will automatically, upon such demand, be converted into an ABR Advance.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that it has determined, or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that the Required Lenders have determined, that (x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate (including, without limitation, because the LIBO Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for U.S. dollars and such Interest Period and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (y) the circumstances set forth in clause (x) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rates of loans, or (z) U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities being executed at such time or that include language similar to that contained in this Section are being executed or amended, as applicable, to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark replacement rate to replace the LIBO Rate, and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Required Lenders, as applicable, have elected to declare that an “Early-Opt-in Election” has occurred and the provision, as
49
applicable, by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to the Borrower and the Lenders or by the Borrower or the Required Lenders of written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, then after such determination or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternative rate of interest and may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with an alternate benchmark rate of interest (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of the LIBO Rate (including modifications to clause (b) of the definition of “Federal Funds Euro-Rate”) (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable, including any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.2, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date such proposed amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the first sentence of this 3.3(b), only to the extent the LIBO Rate for U.S. dollars and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (A) any Ratable Borrowing Notice that requests a Eurodollar Ratable Advance or a Federal Funds/Euro-Rate Advance shall be ineffective and (B) any Rate Option Notice that requests the conversion of any Revolving Credit Advance to, or continuation of any Revolving Credit Advance as, a Eurodollar Ratable Advance or a Federal Funds/Euro-Rate Advance shall be ineffective and such Revolving Credit Advance shall be automatically converted at such time into an ABR Advance; provided that, if such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be less than zero, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
3.4 Funding Indemnification. If (a) (i) any payment of a Eurodollar Ratable Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or (ii) a Eurodollar Ratable Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower, or (iii) any Revolving Credit Advance is not continued as or converted into a Eurodollar Ratable Advance, on the date specified by the Borrower, in each case, for any reason other than default by the Lenders or (b) the assignment of any Eurodollar Ratable Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then the Borrower will indemnify each applicable Lender for any loss or cost (including any reasonable internal administrative costs but excluding any loss of margin, any lost profits and any loss, cost or expense resulting from the failure of such Lender to make a Loan as a result of a default by such Lender) incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Ratable Advance. Determination of amounts payable under this Section 3.4 in connection with a Eurodollar Ratable Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Ratable Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.
50
3.5 Taxes.
(a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) to the extent such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions of Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) have been made, the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(b) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes and any other intangible, recording, filing or any similar excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).
(c) The Borrower agrees unconditionally to indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any or all Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.5), including any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant governmental authority. Such indemnification payments by the Borrower shall be made within 20 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.
(d) (1) Any Lender that is eligible for an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate or withholding. In addition, any Lender, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 3.5(d)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the
51
Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.5(d)(2)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.5, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(2) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two properly completed and duly executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
(B) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement) (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i) two properly completed and duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code;
(ii) two properly completed and duly signed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms);
(iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two properly completed and duly signed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
(iv) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance
52
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this agreement.
(e) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.5(d).
(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such
53
indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.5 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.5(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
3.6 Lender Statements: Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its applicable Eurodollar Ratable Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of the applicable Eurodollar Ratable Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount (which calculations shall be made in good faith) and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Ratable Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Ratable Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable within 30 days after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4 relating to any period of time which is greater than 90 days prior to such Person’s request for additional payment except for retroactive application of any law, rule or regulation, in which case (a) the Borrower is required to make such payments so long as such Person makes a request therefor within 90 days after the public announcement of such retroactive application and (b) the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
ARTICLE IV
THE LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY
4.1 Facility Letters of Credit. At the request of the Borrower, each Issuing Bank shall, within the limits of its Issuing Bank’s L/C Limit and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue from time to time for the account of the Borrower, through such offices or branches as it and the Borrower may jointly agree, one or more Facility Letters of Credit (which, in the case of a Performance Letter of Credit, may be an Escrow Agreement) in accordance with this Article IV, during the period commencing on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and ending on the Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date.
54
4.2 Limitations. No Issuing Bank shall issue, renew, amend or extend, at any time, any Facility Letter of Credit (except, solely in the case of clause (vii), extend, renew or amend an Alternative Letter of Credit):
(i) if, after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit or amendment or extension thereof requested hereunder, (A) the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall exceed any limit imposed by Law upon such Issuing Bank or (B) the outstanding undrawn face amount of all Facility Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Limit;
(ii) if, after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit or amendment or extension thereof requested hereunder, the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances (including Revolving Credit Ratable Advances) plus (ii) the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment;
(iii) [Reserved];
(iv) if such Issuing Bank receives written notice from the Administrative Agent on the proposed Issuance Date of such Facility Letter of Credit that the conditions precedent contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, as applicable, would not on such Issuance Date be satisfied unless such conditions are thereafter satisfied and written notice of such satisfaction is given to such Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent;
(v) that is in a currency other than U.S. Dollars;
(vi) that has a stated maturity date later than the earlier of (A) five years after the Issuance Date and (B) one year after the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that, no Revolving Credit Declining Lender that is an Issuing Bank shall issue or extend a Facility Letter of Credit that has a stated maturity date that is later than its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date. For purposes of this clause (vi), the “stated maturity date” is the expiration date of the Facility Letter of Credit, giving effect to any future extension thereof under an automatic renewal provision, unless such automatic renewal provision permits the Issuing Bank to elect not to extend by giving written notice of cancellation to the beneficiary of such Facility Letter of Credit; provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, only Facility Letters of Credit of up to $500,000,000 in the aggregate at any time outstanding shall be permitted to have actual stated maturities (after giving effect to all automatic renewal provisions actually extended) beyond the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date; or
(vii) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender and after giving effect to the issuance of such Facility Letters of Credit or amendment, renewal or extension thereof, the sum of Revolving Credit Exposures of the Non-Defaulting Lenders would exceed the sum of the
55
Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, unless such excess amount in respect of any such Facility Letter of Credit (other than an Alternative Letter of Credit) and any other outstanding Facility Letters of Credit (other than Alternative Letters of Credit) is cash collateralized by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.10.
4.3 Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, as applicable, the issuance of any Facility Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:
(i) the Borrower shall have delivered to such Issuing Bank at such times and in such manner as the Issuing Bank may reasonably prescribe such documents (including, if requested, an Application) and materials as may be reasonably required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the proposed Facility Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank in form and content; and
(ii) as of the Issuance Date no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority shall enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing the Facility Letter of Credit and no Law applicable to such Issuing Bank and no directive from any Official Body with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit such Issuing Bank from issuing Letters of Credit generally or from issuing that Facility Letter or Credit.
4.4 Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit.
(a) The Borrower shall give such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not less than five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as such Issuing Bank, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree) prior notice (in writing) of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit under this Agreement. Such notice shall specify (i) the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested, (ii) the requested Issuance Date, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to expire, which date shall be in compliance with the requirements of Section 4.2(vi), (iv) the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued, (v) the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued, and (vi) whether such Facility Letter of Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit (and, if so, whether it is an Escrow Agreement) or a Financial Letter of Credit. At the time such request is made, the Borrower shall also provide such Issuing Bank with a copy of the form of the Facility Letter of Credit it is requesting be issued.
(b) As soon as practicable and in no event later than one Business Day prior to the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall confirm by notice (“Facility Letter of Credit Notice”) in writing to the Administrative Agent and to such Issuing Bank the intended Issuance Date and amount of such Facility Letter of Credit. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following its receipt of a Facility Letter of Credit Notice, the Administrative Agent shall determine and shall notify the Issuing Bank and the Borrower (in writing ) whether issuance of the requested Facility Letter of Credit would be permitted under the provisions of Sections 4.2(ii) and (vii) and the second proviso to Section 4.2(vi). If the Administrative Agent notifies such Issuing Bank and the Borrower that such issuance would be so permitted, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IV, and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 have been satisfied, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested Issuance Date, issue the requested Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. Such Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent written notice of the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit.
56
(c) An Issuing Bank shall not extend (other than by operation of an automatic renewal provision) or amend any Facility Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 4.4 are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.
(d) Any Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, issue to the Company or any Subsidiary Letters of Credit (that are not Facility Letters of Credit) for its own account, and at its own risk. None of the provisions of this Article IV shall apply to any Letter of Credit that is not a Facility Letter of Credit.
4.5 Duties of Issuing Bank. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, shall not put such Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Revolving Credit Lender or, provided that such Issuing Bank has complied with the procedures specified in Section 4.4 in all material respects, relieve any Revolving Credit Lender of its obligations hereunder to such Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Facility Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance with the requirements of such Facility Letter of Credit.
4.6 Participation.
(a) Immediately upon issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 4.4 (and, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date), each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, in the amount of its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of, such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto other than amounts owing to such Issuing Bank under Section 3.2 or 4.7(b)).
(b) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Facility Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and the date required for payment of such drawing under such Facility Letter of Credit. In the event that an Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall unconditionally upon notice thereof reimburse the Issuing Bank therefor, whether through a Revolving Credit Advance hereunder or otherwise, such reimbursement by the Borrower to be made (i) on the same Business Day as payment by such Issuing Bank if notice thereof has been received by the Borrower on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such day or (ii) if notice thereof is received by the Borrower after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of payment, on the next Business Day after payment by such Issuing Bank. If the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuing Bank on or before the date of such payment by such
57
Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly so notify each Revolving Credit Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees that it shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent (in same day funds) for the account of such Issuing Bank the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Ratable Share of the payments so made by such Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amount, and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for such Issuing Bank’s account pursuant to this Section 4.6(b), to such Issuing Bank. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Revolving Credit Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Ratable Share of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was first due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Ratable Share of any such payment shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of any payment on the date such payment is to be made.
(c) The payments made by the Revolving Credit Lenders to an Issuing Bank in reimbursement of amounts paid by it under a Facility Letter of Credit shall constitute, and the Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that such payments shall constitute, Revolving Credit Advances hereunder and such payments shall for all purposes be treated as Revolving Credit Advances (notwithstanding that the amounts thereof may not comply with the provisions of Section 2.5). Such Revolving Credit Advances shall be ABR Advances, subject to the Borrower’s rights under Article II hereof.
(d) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, an Issuing Bank shall furnish to the requesting Administrative Agent or Revolving Credit Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit or Application to which such Issuing Bank is party.
(e) The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of Facility Letters of Credit hereunder shall be irrevocable, not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with, but not subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;
58
(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the beneficiary named in any Facility Letter of Credit);
(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;
(v) any failure by the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank to make any reports required pursuant to Section 4.8; or
(vi) the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default.
(f) The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of Facility Letters of Credit hereunder shall continue until all Facility Letters of Credit of such Issuing Bank have expired (regardless of whether (i) such Facility Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.10 or (ii) the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date has occurred).
(g) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations under clause (a) above to purchase an undivided interest and participation in any Facility Letter of Credit, and its reimbursement obligations in respect of any Facility Letter of Credit under clause (b) above, shall in each case terminate (i) if an Unmatured Default or Default resulting from the Borrower’s failure to provide cash collateralization (or to provide other alternatives to cash collateralization acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank) in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the stated maturity date of such Facility Letter of Credit or (ii) so long as no Unmatured Default or Default resulting from the Borrower’s failure to provide cash collateralization (or to provide other alternatives to cash collateralization acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank) in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the earlier of (w) the stated maturity date of such Facility Letter of Credit, (x) the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, (y) in the case of a Facility Letter of Credit that is issued by an Issuing Bank that is a Revolving Credit Declining Lender, a Defaulting Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or an Affected Lender, the replacement or termination, as applicable, of such Issuing Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Sections 2.20, 2.21 or 2.22 hereof, as applicable and (z) prior to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, the replacement or termination of a Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that, in the case of this clause (z), immediately upon the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender (such Revolving Credit Lender, an “Exiting Revolving Credit Lender”), each other Revolving Credit Lender (including any Additional Lender or Replacement Lender) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
59
unconditionally purchased and received from such Exiting Revolving Credit Lender, without recourse or warranty, a portion of each such Exiting Revolving Credit Lender’s undivided interest and participation in all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit (in the proportion of the Revolving Credit Ratable Shares of such purchasing Lenders determined immediately following the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Exiting Revolving Credit Lender) such that, upon such purchase, each Revolving Credit Lender holds an undivided interest and participation in all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit in the amount of its then Revolving Credit Ratable Share thereof.
4.7 Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (except to the extent that the Borrower shall be required to pay directly to the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided in Section 4.7(c)), in the case of each outstanding Facility Letter of Credit, the Facility Letter of Credit Fee therefor, payable quarterly in arrears as hereinafter provided on the daily average face amount (net of permanent reductions) of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding calendar quarter (but excluding any period prior to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date during which an Existing Letter of Credit was outstanding, with respect to which period fees shall be payable as provided in the Existing Credit Agreement). The Facility Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears (A) not later than five (5) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s delivery to Borrower of the quarterly statement of Facility Letter of Credit Fees, (B) on the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date and (C) if any Facility Letter of Credit remains outstanding after the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter until the first day of the calendar quarter after the date on which the last outstanding Facility Letter of Credit ceases to be outstanding (each such date specified in clause (A), (B) or (C), a “Quarterly Payment Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when received by it, to the Revolving Credit Lenders in their Revolving Credit Ratable Shares thereof.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank for its own account an issuance fee of 0.10% per annum payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date (including, if any Facility Letter of Credit remains outstanding after the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, each Quarterly Payment Date thereafter until the first Quarterly Payment Date after the date on which the last outstanding Facility Letter of Credit ceases to be outstanding) on the daily average face amount (net of permanent reductions) of each Facility Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and that was outstanding at any time during the preceding calendar quarter (but excluding any period prior to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date during which an Existing Letter of Credit was outstanding, with respect to which period fees shall be payable as provided in the Existing Credit Agreement).
(c) After the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date and the payment in full of all other Obligations, the Borrower shall make on each Quarterly Payment Date (i) payments of Facility Letter of Credit Fees under Section 4.7(a) directly to the Lenders in the amounts of their respective Revolving Credit Ratable Shares thereof and (ii) payments of issuance fees under Section 4.7(b) directly to each Issuing Bank that issued a Facility Letter of Credit that was outstanding at any time during the prior calendar quarter.
60
(d) Facility Letter of Credit Fees and issuance fees payable to the Issuing Bank shall be calculated, on a pro rata basis for the period to which such payment applies, for actual days elapsed during such period, on the basis of a 360-day year.
4.8 Issuing Bank Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Bank shall, no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to the Administrative Agent a schedule of the Facility Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the Issuance Date, account party, original face amount, amount (if any) paid thereunder or any other permanent reductions thereof, expiration date and the reference number of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month (and whether such Facility Letter of Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit or Financial Letter of Credit) and the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to such Issuing Bank during the month pursuant to Section 3.2 and which Facility Letters of Credit are Standard Letters of Credit or Alternative Letters of Credit.

4.9 Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Bank’s Duties.
(a) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article IV, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender and Issuing Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the claims of third parties against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Credit Lender as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Facility Letter of Credit other than, in the case of an Issuing Bank, as a result of its willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of an Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority.
(b) As among the Borrower, the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of Facility Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Facility Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Revolving Credit Lender nor (subject to the provisions of Section 4.9(d)) an Issuing Bank shall be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Facility Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Facility Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Facility Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Facility Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Facility Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the
61
misapplication by the beneficiary of a Facility Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Facility Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders including, without limitation, any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of an Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this Section 4.9.
(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Facility Letters of Credit or any related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.9, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Issuing Bank under this Section 4.9 in respect of any liability incurred by such Issuing Bank arising primarily out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Issuing Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, or out of the wrongful dishonor by an Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under the Facility Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, unless such dishonor was made at the request of the Borrower.
4.10 Cash Collateralization. If the expiration date of any Facility Letter of Credit is (i) later than the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, (ii) in the case of a Facility Letter of Credit issued by a Revolving Credit Declining Lender, later than its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date or such date on which such Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment is replaced pursuant to Section 2.20 or is terminated pursuant to Section 2.21, (iii) in the case of a Facility Letter of Credit issued by a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, which Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, is either replaced pursuant to Section 2.20 or whose Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated pursuant to Section 2.22(c), or (iv) in the case of a Facility Letter of Credit otherwise issued by an Affected Lender that is replaced pursuant to Section 2.20, later than the date of such replacement, the Borrower shall, or shall cause one or more of the other Loan Parties to, (x) in the case of clause (i) above, either, (A) cash collateralize such Facility Letter of Credit not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date or (B) if acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, provide collateral or other alternatives acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion (in the case of clause (B), “Non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit”) (provided that the obligation of the Borrower to pay Facility Letter of Credit Fees and the fees required under Section 4.7(b) hereof in respect of Non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date and the Non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit shall cease to be Facility Letters of Credit hereunder) or (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, either (A) cash collateralize such Facility Letter of Credit no later than the date of replacement of such Revolving Credit Declining Lender or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Declining Lender or, if not so replaced or terminated, cash collateralize such Facility Letter of Credit no later than 30 days prior to such Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date or (B) if acceptable to the applicable Revolving Credit Declining Lender in its sole discretion, provide other alternatives acceptable to such Revolving Credit
62
Declining Lender or (z) in the case of clause (iii) or (iv) above, either (A) cash collateralize such Facility Letter of Credit no later than the date of replacement of a Defaulting Lender, Affected Lender or Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 2.21 or the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 2.22 or (B) if acceptable to the applicable Defaulting Lender, Affected Lender or Non-Consenting Lender in its sole discretion, provide other alternatives acceptable to such Defaulting Lender, Affected Lender or Non-Consenting Lender. In addition, the Borrower shall cash collateralize Facility Letters of Credit when required by and in accordance with Section 2.22(a), Section 2.22(c) and Section 4.2(vii). For purposes of this Agreement, “cash collateralize” means, with respect to any Facility Letter of Credit, that the Borrower or another Loan Party shall provide, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount equal to the undrawn face amount of such Facility Letter of Credit and “cash collateral” means the cash so provided and shall include the proceeds of such cash, in each case pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the applicable Issuing Bank (and “cash collateralization” shall have a corresponding meaning).
4.11 No Obligation. No Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to accept or approve any request for, or to issue, amend or extend, any Facility Letter of Credit hereunder except for the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this Article IV.
4.12 Alternative Letters of Credit. So long as no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall have the right to cash collateralize any Facility Letter of Credit Obligation with respect to any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 4.12. In order to designate a Facility Letter of Credit as an Alternative Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) prior written notice of its election to so designate and deposit cash collateral in a deposit account with or designate account balances at the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank as collateral in an aggregate amount equal to the undrawn face amount of such Facility Letter of Credit. So long as such cash collateral remains in place in an amount at least equal to the undrawn face amount of such Facility Letter of Credit at such time, such Facility Letter of Credit shall be an “Alternative Letter of Credit” hereunder; provided that, at the Borrower’s election, upon at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, such Issuing Bank in their sole discretion), the cash collateral for such Alternative Letter of Credit shall be released and, together with any interest accrued thereon, remitted back to the Borrower, at which time such Facility Letter of Credit shall cease to be “Alternative Letter of Credit” hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may cause a Facility Letter of Credit that is fully cash collateralized pursuant to Section 4.10 to be designated an Alternative Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 4.12. Any interest on any such accounts collateralizing an Alternative Letter of Credit shall be for the account of the Borrower.
4.13 Governing Rules. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Facility Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Facility Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary
63
Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each commercial Facility Letter of Credit.

Following the first to occur of (A) completion of all appraisals requested at any one time by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower under this Section 7.19, and (B) a date specified by the Administrative Agent no earlier than 45 days after the last request for an appraisal has (or could have) been made by the Borrower in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the appraised values of all Borrowing Base Assets which have been appraised (rather than their book value) shall be used for purposes of applying the covenant contained in Section 7.28.2.

7.19.3 Appraisers. Any appraisals requested at any one time pursuant to this Section 7.19 shall be made by one or more appraisers for all properties (there shall be no more than one appraiser for each property) located in each state selected by the Borrower from a list of at least three appraisers submitted by the Administrative Agent with respect to such state at the time it makes its request. All appraisers submitted by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.19 shall be appraisers who have been approved by the Required Lenders and the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and in either event have committed to prepare appraisals within 45 days following the date such appraisals are requested.

ARTICLE IX
ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 8.5 or 8.6 occurs and is continuing with respect to the Borrower or the Company, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligations of the Lenders to issue, amend or extend any Facility Letter of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs and is continuing, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the written consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation of any Lender to issue, amend or extend any Facility Letter of Credit hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.
If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Bank(s) to issue, amend or extend Facility Letters of Credit hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 8.5 or 8.6 with respect to the Borrower or the Company) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.
9.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX and Section 3.3(b), the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders), the Borrower and the Company may enter into agreements for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such agreement or any waiver shall,
(a) without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby:
(i) Extend the final maturity of any Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate, whether by modification of the Pricing Schedule or otherwise (it being understood that any change to the definition of Leverage Ratio or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause), or extend the time for payment of or forgive interest or fees thereon; or
(ii) Extend the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date under the Revolving Credit Facility (except as agreed to by such Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.17), or increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility (except as agreed by such Lender);
89
or (b) without the consent of all Lenders:
(i) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement; or
(ii) [Reserved]; or
(iii) Change, directly or indirectly, the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders,” or change any provision that calls for consent, approval or other action by the Required Lenders, all Lenders or any particular affected Lender; or
(iv) Amend Section 2.10(b), this Section 9.2 or Section 12.2; or
(v) Release any Guarantor (except for the release of a Designated Guarantor as provided in Section 10.13).
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without its written consent, and no amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to any outstanding Facility Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall be effective without its written consent. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 13.3.2 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (including amendments, supplements or waivers to any of the Loan Documents or related documents executed by any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to cause such Loan Documents or related documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment and (ii) with respect to amendments under Section 9.2(a)(i) or requiring the approval of all of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility directly and adversely affected thereby, if all such Lenders other than one or more Defaulting Lenders approve such amendment, the failure of such Defaulting Lenders to approve such amendment shall not prevent such amendment from becoming effective with respect to such Lenders approving such amendment (it being understood that such amendment will not be effective with respect to such Defaulting Lenders that do not approve such amendment).
9.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Facility Letter of Credit notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of such Facility Letter of Credit shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further
90
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall, subject to the terms hereof, be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. This Section 10.6(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any obligation of a Person under a lease (whether existing now or entered into in the future) that is not (or would not be) required to be classified and accounted for as a capital lease on the balance sheet of such Person under GAAP as in effect on the Closing Date shall not be treated as a capital lease solely as a result of the adoption of any changes in, or changes in the application of, GAAP after the Closing Date and, as a result, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with their treatment on the Closing Date, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto, unless the Company, the Borrower and the Required Lenders shall enter into a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes, as provided for above.
10.9 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

Neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender or Issuing Bank undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party to review or inform the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s, the Company’s or any other Loan Party’s business or operations. The Borrower and the Company agree that neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender or Issuing Bank shall have liability to the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender or Issuing Bank shall have any liability (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) with respect to, and the Borrower, the Company and each other Loan Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party (or suffered by any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives) in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

10.12 Nonreliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) for the repayment of the Loans provided for herein.
10.13 Conversion and Non-Designation of Designated Guarantors.
(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that a Designated Guarantor be released from its Guaranty Agreement and thereby be converted to a Non-Loan Party (a “Conversion”) or that a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company not be required to be designated as a Designated Guarantor (a “Non-Designation”), on and subject to the following conditions:
(i) No Default or Unmatured Default shall exist (except any Default or Unmatured Default that will be cured as a result of such Conversion or Non-Designation) and no other Default or Unmatured Default will exist as a result of such Conversion or Non-Designation.
(ii) In the case of a Conversion, the stockholders’ equity in such Designated Guarantor and in the case of a Non-Designation, the stockholders’ equity in such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the total consolidated stockholders’ equity in all Loan Parties before giving effect to such Conversion or Non-Designation. Determination of such percentages of stockholders’ equity shall be made as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Company for which the financial statements required under Sections 7.1(i) or (ii) (as applicable) are available at the time of such request for Conversion or Non-Designation.
(iii) The stockholders’ equity in all Designated Guarantors that the Borrower requests to be converted into Non-Loan Parties in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and in all Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Company that the Borrower requests not to be designated as Designated Guarantors during such four-quarter period shall not in the aggregate exceed ten percent (10%) (or fifteen percent (15%) if and to the extent necessary to permit the Borrower to cure a Default by Conversion of a Designated Guarantor) of the lowest total consolidated stockholders’ equity in all Loan Parties at the end of any fiscal quarter during such four-quarter period. Determination of such aggregate amounts of stockholders’ equity of such applicable Designated Guarantors or Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries shall be made by adding the amounts of stockholders’ equity of each such applicable Designated Guarantor and Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (as determined at the time of request for Conversion of such Designated Guarantor or Non-Designation of such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary in accordance with clause (ii) above).
(iv) The stockholders’ equity in all Designated Guarantors that the Borrower requests to be converted into Non-Loan Parties after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and in all Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Company that the Borrower requests not to be designated as Designated Guarantors after the Amendment and
95
Restatement Effective Date (in each case excluding Non-Loan Parties as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date) shall not in the aggregate exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total consolidated stockholders’ equity in all Loan Parties. Determination of such aggregate amounts of stockholders’ equity of such applicable Designated Guarantors or Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries shall be made by adding the amounts of stockholders’ equity of each such applicable Designated Guarantor and Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. Determinations of such stockholders’ equity shall be made as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Company for which financial statements required under Section 7.1(i) or (ii) (as applicable) are available at the time of the last such request for Conversion or Non-Designation.
(v) The disposition by the Company of such Designated Guarantor (in the case of a Conversion) or Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (in the case of a Non-Designation) would not have a material effect on the homebuilding business of the other Loan Parties, operationally or otherwise.
(vi) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, together with the Borrower’s notice requesting the Conversion of a Designated Guarantor or Non-Designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, a certificate of the Borrower and the Company, certifying that the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above are satisfied with respect to such Conversion or Non-Designation, together with (A) in the case of a Conversion, a Compliance Certificate, as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available, prepared taking into account such Conversion and (B) in any case, such other evidence in support of the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
(vii) Such Conversion or Non-Designation shall comply with the provisions of Section 10.13(d).
Upon the Administrative Agent’s determination (which may be made solely by relying on the certificate delivered pursuant to clause (vi) above) that the foregoing conditions with respect to the Conversion of a Designated Guarantor have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.13(b)) promptly (1) execute and deliver, for and on behalf of itself and the Lenders, a release of such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty Agreement, whereupon such Designated Guarantor shall cease to be a Designated Guarantor and Loan Party and shall be a Non-Loan Party, and (2) give notice to the Lenders of the Conversion of such Designated Guarantor. Upon the Administrative Agent’s determination (which may be made solely by relying on the certificate delivered pursuant to clause (vi) above) that the foregoing conditions with respect to the Non-Designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of such Non-Designation to the Borrower and the Lenders.
(b) Notwithstanding the satisfaction of the conditions for Conversion of a Designated Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.13(a), if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, not to release such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty, in which event such Designated Guarantor shall remain a Guarantor but shall not constitute a Loan Party hereunder for purposes of compliance with the representations,
96
warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the covenants contained in Section 7.28) and the provisions of Article VIII. If the Administrative Agent so elects not to release such Designated Guarantor, it shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, and the Required Lenders may at any time direct the Administrative Agent to release such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty.
(c) If prior to the release of a Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty, the Borrower determines and certifies to the Administrative Agent that the inclusion of such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party hereunder for all purposes (including, without limitation, compliance with the covenants contained in Section 7.28) would not result in a Default or Unmatured Default, the Borrower may request the Administrative Agent to reinstate such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party hereunder for all purposes. As a condition of any such reinstatement, the Administrative Agent may request the Borrower to deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence in support of the Borrower’s certification, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate with respect to the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements of the Company are available, reflecting the inclusion of such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party and evidencing compliance with the covenants hereunder. Upon the Administrative Agent’s approval of the Borrower’s certification and supporting evidence (which approval may be made solely by relying on such certification and supporting evidence), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that such Designated Guarantor has been so reinstated, and from and after the delivery of such notice, such Designated Guarantor shall again be a Loan Party hereunder for all purposes.
(d) At all times after the Borrower has satisfied the conditions of Conversion of a Designated Guarantor as provided in Section 10.13(a) but prior to the release of such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty, all reports required to be furnished under Section 7.1 hereof or any other provisions of this Agreement shall exclude such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party hereunder unless and until such Designated Guarantor is reinstated as a Loan Party as provided in this Section 10.13.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.13 to the contrary, if, after a Subsidiary has been converted into a Non-Loan Party or, at the request of the Borrower, has not been designated as a Designated Guarantor (in each case in accordance with the above provisions of this Section 10.13), the Borrower thereafter designates such Subsidiary as a Designated Guarantor (and such Subsidiary becomes a Designated Guarantor), such Subsidiary shall not, so long as such Subsidiary is a Designated Guarantor, be considered a Non-Loan Party for purposes of the above calculations.
10.14 USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Act.
97
10.15 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-in of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution;
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable;
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
10.16 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights
98
could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
ARTICLE XI
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
11.1 Appointment and Authority.
(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, other than as expressly set forth herein, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party hereto shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
(b) Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Facility Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article XI with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Facility Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Facility Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article XI and in the definition of “Related Parties” included each Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to each Issuing Bank.
11.2 Administrative Agent Individually.
(a) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
(b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 11.2 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities
99
with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.
(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.
11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
100
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Laws including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; and
(d) nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.1 and 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
11.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
101
sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or an Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or an Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and in the case of a Revolving Credit Advance, such Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Revolving Credit Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
11.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
11.6 Resignation of Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, an Issuing Bank and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Lenders or the Borrower may, upon ten (10) days’ notice remove the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of removal or resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if any Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in any state in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in any state in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after receipt of such removal notice or the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if any Default has occurred and is continuing, on behalf of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or each Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to
102
each Lender and Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
11.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
(a) Each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any other Lender Party or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is suitable and appropriate for it.
(b) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender Party or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:
(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower and each other Loan Party;
(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document;
103
(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;
(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document.
11.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, syndication agents, documentation agents, the Administrative Agent or any other Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.
11.9 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.
(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).
(b) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such reasonably requested instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, at no cost to the Borrower. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

11.10 Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as such, ratably, in their respective Revolving Credit Ratable Shares, (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (b) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (c) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.10 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
11.11 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder (other than a Default under Section 8.2) unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” or that such notice is delivered pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
11.12 Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Fee Letter with Citigroup or as otherwise agreed by them from time to time.
11.13 Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower, the Company and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles X and XI.
11.14 Agent’s Responsibilities and Duties. None of the Agents shall have any responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as an Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Agents or the Administrative Agent shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or any Lender.
105
11.15 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Loan Party may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax with respect to such Lender. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.5, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within 10 days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other governmental authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.15. The agreements in this Section 11.15 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
11.16 Certain ERISA Matters.
(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Facility Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments or this Agreement,
(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Facility Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement,
106
(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Facility Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Facility Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Facility Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Facility Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
ARTICLE XII
SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
12.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower or the Company becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower or the Company may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due. In the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22(a) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
107
12.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Revolving Credit Ratable Loans held by the other Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility so that after such purchase each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility will hold its ratable proportion of Revolving Credit Ratable Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. If any Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
ARTICLE XIII
BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
13.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Company and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) neither the Borrower nor the Company shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (b) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3 (such assignee, an “Eligible Assignee”). Notwithstanding clause (b) of this Section, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, the Company, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank transfer its rights or obligations by, assigning, pledging or granting a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, any Note, any Guaranty Agreement or any other Loan Document to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank (or its foreign equivalent); provided, however, that no such assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank (or its foreign equivalent) shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. Any assignee or transferee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such transfer or assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of the rights to such Loan.
13.2 Participations.
13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect.
(a) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, the Company, Borrower or any Affiliate thereof)) (“Participant”) participating interests in any Ratable Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Revolving Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. The consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to a sale of a participating interest becoming effective with respect to a Participant (except a sale of a participating interest by a Lender to its Affiliate or in the case of the consent of the Borrower only,
108
a participating interest to another Lender or an Affiliate thereof); provided, however, that if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any consents of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent under this Section 13.2.1 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within eight (8) calendar days after having received written notice thereof.
(b) The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1 and 3.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or Section 3.5, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the sale of the participation takes place.
(c) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans (the “Participant Register”). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary in connection with a tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing shall not limit or expand the rights of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to consent to such participation under clause (a) above to the extent provided in such clause. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation such person is shown as owning, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
13.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents except that any participation agreement may provide that the applicable Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, approve any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment (except as provided in Section 3.3(b)),
109
extends the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date under the Revolving Credit Facility (including as provided in Section 2.17), postpones any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment, releases any Guarantor (except for a release of a Designated Guarantor as provided in Section 10.13) of any such Loan or releases all or substantially all of the collateral, if any, securing any such Loan.
13.2.3 Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 12.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.
13.3 Assignments.
13.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, subject to any consent required below, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to a Qualified Bank (or, while a Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 has occurred and is continuing, to any Person (other than a natural person, the Company, Borrower or any Affiliate thereof)) (“Purchaser”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto (an “Assignment and Assumption”). Except as otherwise hereinafter provided, the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser (except, but subject to clause (b) of the immediately succeeding sentence, an assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender, another Lender or an Affiliate of such other Lender thereof); provided, however, that if a Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required. Unless each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise consents (except that, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required), (a) each such assignment shall (unless it is an assignment of a Lender’s entire interest in the Revolving Credit Facility) be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, and (b) except as otherwise provided below in this Section 13.3.1, no assignment shall be made that would reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender and its Affiliates (in the aggregate) to an amount less than the greater of (i) $10,000,000 or (ii) thirty-five percent (35%) of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date or as of any later date on which it first became a Lender hereunder (or, in the case of this clause (b), such lesser amount to which the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, agree in writing); provided that while a Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 has occurred and is continuing, clause (b) of this sentence shall not apply. Any consents of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent under this Section 13.3.1 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any consent of the Borrower under Section (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, which consent may be withheld by the Borrower in its sole discretion); provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within eight (8) calendar days after having received written notice thereof.
110
13.3.2 Effect, Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption, together with any consents required by Section 13.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its discretion) for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Revolving Credit Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by any Loan Party, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. Such transferor Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 4.9 and 10.6(b) (to the extent such Lender’s entitlement to such benefit arose out of its position as a Lender prior to the applicable assignment except in respect of a Change in Law after the applicable assignment). The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the Lender with respect to the Loans shown in the Register as owing to such person, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon prior reasonable notice.
13.4 Dissemination of Information. The Borrower and the Company authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by Section 10.11 of this Agreement.
13.5 Defaulting Lenders. No such assignment will be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause.
111
In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions hereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Facility Letters of Credit in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
ARTICLE XIV

(b) So long as Citibank or any of its Affiliates is the Administrative Agent, such materials as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree in their sole discretion shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by e-mail at XXXxxxxXxxxxxXxx@xxxx.xxx (for Ratable Borrowing Notices) and, otherwise, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any Notice of Borrowing, Facility Letter of Credit Notice, Ratable
112
Borrowing Notice, Rate Option Notice, request for Conversion or continuation of any Revolving Credit Advance, Revolving Credit Ratable Advances or notices constituting service of process or relating to legal process) (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on DebtDomain or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) no Agent Party (as defined below) warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, indirect or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Loan Party hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(c) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that, if requested by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by e-mail or facsimile. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address(es) to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address(es) as such Lender shall instruct. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will, upon any Lender’s reasonable request, furnish materials posted on the Platform to such Lender in hard copy to such Lender’s address set forth on the signature pages hereof.
(d) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
113
(e) Each of the Lenders and each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.
14.2 Change of Address. The Borrower, the Company, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto.

Re: | Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, among First Huntingdon Finance Corp. (the “Borrower”), Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company”), the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other agent(s) party thereto |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am the General Counsel of the Borrower, the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company identified on the signature pages to the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement referred to herein (such subsidiaries, the “Designated Guarantors”; together with the Borrower and the Company, the “Loan Parties”), and have acted in that capacity in connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 5.1(ix) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this opinion, capitalized terms are used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement.
In so acting, I, or people under my supervision, have examined executed originals or counterparts of the following documents, each dated the date hereof (the “Loan Documents”):
(a) the Credit Agreement;
(b) the Notes executed in connection with the closing of the Credit Agreement; and
(c) the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement (“Guaranty Agreement”) made by the Company and the Designated Guarantors.
I, or people under my supervision, have also examined, and relied upon without independent verification the accuracy of factual matters contained in, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, such corporate, limited liability company and partnership records, agreements and other documents, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Loan Parties and have made such examinations of law and reviewed such documents as I have deemed necessary in connection with the opinions set forth below.
October 31, 2019
Page 2
When the phrase “to my knowledge” or an equivalent phrase is used in this opinion, its purpose is to limit the statements it qualifies to my actual knowledge after such inquiry as I deemed appropriate. I have not examined any records of any court, administrative tribunal or other similar entity in connection with my opinion.
I have assumed the legal capacity and competence of natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of documents submitted to me as certified, conformed, photostatic, electronic or facsimile copies and the completeness of all documents reviewed by me.
I have also assumed, without verification, that each of the Designated Guarantors is validly subsisting and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or formation.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:
1. Each of the Designated Guarantors organized under the laws of the State of Delaware is an entity validly formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, power to carry on its business as such business is known to me.
2. Each of the Designated Guarantors organized under the laws of the State of Delaware has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement and to incur the obligations provided therein, and has taken all corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Guaranty Agreement.
3. The Guaranty Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Designated Guarantor party thereto that is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.
4. None of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the consummation of any of the transactions therein contemplated, nor the fulfillment of the terms thereof, by any Loan Party will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under the terms of (i) any agreement or instrument filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Company’s annual report or Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2018 and any subsequent current or periodic reports filed by the Company under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, from November 1, 2018 through the date of this opinion or (ii) any other material indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other material agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which any of the Loan Parties is a party or bound and is known to me.
To my knowledge, there is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending or overtly threatened in writing against any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect except as may be described in the public filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
October 31, 2019

I express no opinion as to the law of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the United States, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.
A copy of this opinion may be delivered by you to each financial institution that may become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, and such persons may rely on this opinion to the same extent as – but to no greater extent than – the addressees and on the condition and understanding that any such reliance by such person must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of assignment, including any changes in law, facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by such person at such time. This opinion may be relied upon by you and such persons to whom you may deliver copies as provided in the preceding sentence only in connection with the consummation of the transactions described herein and may not be used or relied upon by you or any other person for any other purpose, without in each instance my prior written consent.
This opinion is limited to the matters expressly stated herein. No implied opinion may be inferred to extend this opinion beyond the matters expressly stated herein. I do not undertake to advise you or anyone else of any changes in the opinions expressed herein resulting from changes in law, changes in facts or any other matters that hereafter might occur or be brought to my attention.

We have reviewed such documents and made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate to give the opinions set forth below. We have relied, without independent verification, on certificates of public officials, and, as to matters of fact material to our opinions also without independent verification, on representations made in the Loan Documents and certificates and other inquiries of officers of the Loan Parties. We have assumed the factual matters contained in certificates obtained from public officials remain true and correct as of the date hereof.
When the phrase “to our knowledge” or an equivalent phrase is used in this opinion, its purpose is to limit the statements it qualifies to the actual knowledge of lawyers in this firm responsible for preparing this opinion after such inquiry as they deemed appropriate.

We have also assumed, without independent verification (i) that each of the Designated Guarantors, other than the Nevada Guarantors and the Virginia Guarantors, is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or formation, (ii) that the execution, delivery and performance of the Guaranty Agreement by each of the Designated Guarantors party thereto, other than the Nevada Guarantors and the Virginia Guarantors, does not violate its organizational or formation documents (including, as applicable, its certificate or articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, by-laws, limited liability company agreement and/or partnership agreement), (iii) that the parties to the Loan Documents and the other agreements, instruments and documents executed in connection therewith, other than the Borrower, the Company, the Nevada Guarantors and the Virginia Guarantors, have the power (including, without limitation, corporate power where applicable) and authority to enter into and perform the Loan Documents and such other agreements, instruments and documents, (iv) the due authorization, execution and delivery by such parties other than the Borrower, the Company, the Nevada Guarantors and the Virginia Guarantors, of each Loan Document and such other agreements, instruments and documents, and (v) that the Loan Documents and such other agreements, instruments and documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each such party, other than the Loan Parties, enforceable against each such other party in accordance with their respective terms.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

[See attached]
EXECUTION VERSION
AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY
This AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY (the “Guaranty”) is made as of October 31, 2019 by the undersigned (the “Guarantors”), in favor of the “Lenders” under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 31, 2019 among First Huntingdon Finance Corp. (the “Borrower”), Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company”), the Lenders from time to time parties thereto and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent. Such Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as it may be amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Credit Agreement.” Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrower, the Company and the Guarantors are party to that certain Guaranty, dated as of May 19, 2016 (as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “Original Guaranty”).
The parties hereto wish to completely amend and restate the Original Guaranty through the execution of this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall not constitute a novation of the Original Guaranty.
1. Guaranty. (i) For value received and in consideration of any loan, advance or financial accommodation of any kind whatsoever heretofore, now or hereafter made, given or granted to the Borrower by the Lenders, the Guarantors unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantee for the benefit of each of the Lenders the full and prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, interest accruing following the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against any Loan Party, at the applicable rate specified in the Credit Agreement, whether or not such interest is allowed as a claim in bankruptcy).
(ii) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Guarantors shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on written demand and in immediately available funds, the full amount of the Obligations then due.
(iii) The Guarantors further agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and reimburse the Administrative Agent for, on demand and in immediately available funds, all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, costs and expenses) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in: (1) endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any one or more of the Guarantors relating to this Guaranty; (2) taking any action with respect to any security or collateral securing any of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder; and (3) preserving, protecting or defending the enforceability of, or enforcing, this Guaranty or their respective rights hereunder; provided, that the legal fees and legal expenses for which the Guarantors are liable under this clause (iii) shall be limited to the fees and expenses of one legal counsel plus, if necessary, one special counsel for each relevant specialty and one local counsel per jurisdiction; provided, further, that, in the event of any actual or potential conflict of interest, the Guarantors shall be liable for the fees and expenses of one additional counsel for each person or group of persons subject to such conflict (all such costs and expenses are hereinafter referred to as the “Expenses”). The Guarantors hereby agree that this Guaranty is an absolute guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of collection.
2. Obligations Unconditional. Subject to Sections 11 and 12 hereof the Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations under this Guaranty shall be unconditional, irrespective of: (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance, novation or subordination of any of the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents; (ii) the absence of any attempt by, or on behalf of, any Lender or the Administrative Agent to collect, or to take any other action to enforce, all or any part of the Obligations whether from or against the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other person; (iii) the election of any remedy by, or on behalf of, any Lender or the Administrative Agent with respect to all or any part of the Obligations; (iv) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by, or on behalf of, any Lender or the Administrative Agent with respect to any provision of any of the Loan Documents; (v) the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Lenders, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vii) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims of any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Obligations or any Expenses; or (viii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Borrower or any one or more of the Guarantors.
3. Enforcement; Application of Payments. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any one or more of the Guarantors to obtain performance of and to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion, of the Obligations then due, without first proceeding against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Subject only to the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the application of payments and credits, if any, from the Guarantors, the Borrower or from any other Person on account of the Obligations or any other liability of the Guarantors to any Lender.
4. Waivers. (a) The Guarantors hereby waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership or bankruptcy of the Borrower or the Company, protest or notice with respect to the Obligations, all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and all other demands whatsoever (and shall not require that the same be made on the Borrower or the Company as a condition precedent to the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder), and covenants that this Guaranty will not be discharged, except by complete payment (in cash) and performance of the Obligations and any other obligations contained herein. The Guarantors further waive all notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, arising either from additional loans extended to the Borrower or otherwise, and also waive all notices that the principal amount, or any portion thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations is due, notices of any and all proceedings to collect from the maker, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, or from any other Person, and, to the extent permitted by law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any security or collateral given to the Agent to secure payment of all or any part of the Obligations.
2
(b) The Guarantors understand that they shall be liable for the full amount of their liability under this Guaranty, notwithstanding the occurrence of any event impairing the rights of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor (including without limitation any Guarantor hereunder) or the Borrower’s or such guarantor’s property. The Guarantors agree that all of their obligations under this Guaranty (including their obligation to pay in full all indebtedness evidenced by or arising under the Credit Agreement) shall remain in full force and effect without defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind, notwithstanding that the Guarantors’ rights against the Borrower may be impaired, destroyed or otherwise affected by reason of any action or inaction on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(c) The Lenders, either themselves or acting through the Administrative Agent, are hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, from time to time, (i) to renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, all or any part of the Obligations, or to otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (ii) to accept partial payments on all or any part of the Obligations; (iii) to take and hold security or collateral for the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, this Guaranty, or any other guaranties of all or any part of the Obligations or other liabilities of the Borrower, (iv) to exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral; (v) to apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as in their discretion they may determine; and (vi) to settle, release, exchange, enforce, waive, compromise or collect or otherwise liquidate all or any part of the Obligations, this Guaranty, any other guaranty of all or any part of the Obligations, and any security or collateral for the Obligations or for any such guaranty. Any of the foregoing may be done in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder.
5. Setoff. At any time when all or any part of the Obligations have become due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, each Lender and the Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Guarantors and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of all or any part of the Obligations (i) any indebtedness due or to become due from such Lender or the Administrative Agent to any one or more of the Guarantors, and (ii) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to any one or more of the Guarantors, at any time held by or coming into the possession of such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates.
6. Financial Information. The Guarantors hereby assume responsibility for keeping themselves informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and the Guarantors hereby agree that none of the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall have any duty to advise the Guarantors of information known to any of them regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time
3
or from time to time to provide any such information to any one or more of the Guarantors, such Lender shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Lender, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to any one or more of the Guarantors.
7. No Marshalling; Reinstatement. The Guarantors consent and agree that none of the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent nor any Person acting for or on behalf of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantors or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. The Guarantors further agree that, to the extent that the Borrower, any one or more of the Guarantors or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations makes a payment or payments to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to the Borrower, any one or more of the Guarantors, such other guarantor or any other Person, or their respective estates, trustees, receivers or any other party, including, without limitation, the Guarantors, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the part of the Obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction.
8. Subrogation. Until the Obligations have been paid in full and the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated, the Guarantors (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such Obligations, (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which the Lenders or the Administrative Agent (or any of them) now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations or any other Person, and (iii) waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (or any of them) to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Lenders.
9. Subordination. (a) Subordinated Debt. The payment and performance of all indebtedness, fees, expenses, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower (or any other Person for the benefit of Borrower) to the Guarantors whether now existing or hereafter incurred or created, in each case, whether such amounts are due or not due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent (the “Subordinated Debt”) are hereby subordinated to the Obligations and, except as set forth in subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 9 the Guarantors will not accelerate, ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive from the Borrower, by setoff or in any other manner, the whole or any part of the Subordinated Debt, including, without limitation, the taking of any negotiable instruments evidencing such amounts, nor any security for any of the Subordinated Debt, unless and until all of the Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied in cash and all financing arrangements among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have been terminated.
(b) Permitted Payments. Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Section 9, in the absence of a “Default” and provided that the payment described below, if made, would not otherwise give rise to the occurrence of a Default, the Borrower may pay to the Guarantors, and the Guarantors may accept from the Borrower, any and all payments of the Subordinated Debt (“Permitted Payments”).
4
(c) Enforcement Rights. The Guarantors, prior to the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of all financing arrangements among the Borrower and the Lenders, shall have no right to enforce any claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt, including, without limitation, any Permitted Payment, or otherwise to take any action against the borrower or the Borrower’s Property without the Administrative Agent’s prior written approval.
10. Enforcement; Amendments; Waivers. No delay on the part of any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any right or remedy arising under this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to all or any part of the Obligations or any other guaranty of or security for all or any part of the Obligations shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any such Person of any such right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by the party making such modification or waiver. Failure by any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by the Borrower, the Guarantors, any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations or any other Person of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents now or at any time or times hereafter executed by such Persons and delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of the Administrative Agent or such Lender at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or their respective agents, officers or employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing, directed and delivered to the Borrower or the Guarantors, as applicable, specifying such waiver, and is signed by the party or parties necessary to give such waiver under the Credit Agreement. No waiver of any Default by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or the same Default on a future occasion, and no action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights and remedies or the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty. Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any principal and/or interest owing by the Borrower to any of the Lenders shall be conclusive and binding on the Guarantors irrespective of whether any of the Guarantors was party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.
11. Limitation on Obligations. The following provisions of this Guaranty apply with respect to all Guarantors other than Toll Brothers, Inc.:
(a) The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to
5
the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 11(a) with respect to the Maximum Liability of the Guarantors, is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither the Guarantors nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 11(a) with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.
(b) Each of the Guarantors agrees that the Obligations which each Guarantor, jointly and severally, guarantees pursuant to this Guaranty (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor, and may exceed the aggregate Maximum Liability of all other Guarantors, without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder. Nothing in this Section 9(b) shall be construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.
(c) In the event any Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Guaranty, each other Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Guarantors, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Guarantors from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this Section 11(c) shall affect any Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of this Section 11(c) are for the benefit of both the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.
6
12. Effectiveness; Termination. This Guaranty shall become effective upon its execution by the Guarantors and shall continue in full force and effect and may not be terminated or otherwise revoked until the Obligations shall have been fully paid (in cash) and discharged and the Credit Agreement and all financing arrangements between the Borrower and the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall have been terminated (including all Commitments thereunder). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantors shall have any right under applicable law to terminate or revoke this Guaranty, the Guarantors agree that such termination or revocation shall not be effective until a written notice of such revocation or termination, specifically referring hereto, signed by the Guarantors, is actually received by the Administrative Agent. Such notice shall not affect the right and power of any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to enforce rights arising prior to receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender grants loans or takes other action after any of the Guarantors terminates or revokes its obligations under this Guaranty but before the Administrative Agent receives such written notice, the rights of such Lender with respect thereto shall be the same as if such termination or revocation had not occurred.
13. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantors and upon their successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns; all references herein to the Borrower and to the Guarantors shall be deemed to include their respective successors and assigns. The successors and assigns of the Guarantors and the Borrower shall include, without limitation, their respective receivers, trustees or debtors-in-possession. All references to the singular shall be deemed to include the plural where the context so requires.
14. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS GUARANTY AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY AND THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.
15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (OR THE STATE COURTS SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE EVENT THE FEDERAL COURTS LACK SUBJECT JURISDICTION) IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
7
16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE GUARANTORS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN THE GUARANTORS AND THE LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. EITHER THE GUARANTORS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS GUARANTY WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
17. Advice of Counsel. The Guarantors represent and warrant that they have consulted with their legal counsel regarding all waivers under this Guaranty, including without limitation those under Section 4 and Sections 14 through 16 hereof, that they believe that they fully understand all rights that they are waiving and the effect of such waivers, that they assume the risk of any misunderstanding that they may have regarding any of the foregoing, and that they intend that such waivers shall be a material inducement to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to extend the indebtedness guaranteed hereby.
