(a) Revolving Commitments. (i) Each Revolving Lender severally, and not jointly with the other Revolving Lenders, agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to make revolving credit loans denominated in Dollars (each a “Revolving Loan” and collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, when added to such Revolving Lender’s LC Exposure, the Revolving Commitment of such Lender, which Revolving Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. At no time shall the sum of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans plus the LC Exposure exceed the Total Revolving Commitment.
(ii) Each Borrowing of a Revolving Loan shall be made from the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Revolving Lender to make any Revolving Loan shall not in itself relieve the other Revolving Lenders of their obligations to lend.
(b) Term Loan Commitments. Each Term Lender severally, and not jointly with the other Term Lenders, agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to make a term loan denominated in Dollars (each a “Term Loan” and collectively the “Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Term Loan Commitment of such Term Lender, which Term Loans shall be repaid in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.01(b) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Each Term Lender’s Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding by such Term Lender of the Term Loans to be made by it on such date.
(c) Type of Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Amount of Borrowing. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire Unused Total Revolving Commitment or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.02(e). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time.
(e) Limitation on Interest Period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, (i) any Borrowing of a Revolving Loan if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to the applicable Revolving Commitments or (ii) any
43
Borrowing of a Term Loan if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.02. Letters of Credit. (a) General. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request from any Issuing Lender the issuance of (and, subject to the penultimate sentence of clause (b) below, the applicable Issuing Lender shall issue) Letters of Credit in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in each case, for the Borrower’s own account or the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender and the Borrower. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.
(ii) [Reserved].
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit by any Issuing Lender (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall either hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)) to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender) in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying (1) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), (2) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), (3) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (4) the currency of such Letter of Credit, (5) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and (6) such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit; provided that, to the extent such standard form (and/or any related reimbursement agreement) is inconsistent with the Loan Documents, the Loan Documents shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (x) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit, (y) the aggregate LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Lender shall not exceed such Issuing Lender’s LC Commitment and (z) the aggregate amount of the Unused Total Revolving Commitment shall not be less than zero. No Issuing Lender (other than an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent) shall permit any such issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the
44
date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the earliest Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to the applicable Revolving Commitments (provided that, to the extent that all of the participations in such Letter of Credit held by the holders of such Revolving Commitments have been re-allocated or Cash Collateralized pursuant to the terms of any Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, such Revolving Commitments shall be disregarded for purposes of this clause (ii)).
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, including any amendment increasing the amount thereof), and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender or the Revolving Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Dollar Amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Dollar Amount of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence of an Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such LC Disbursement or (subject to the two immediately succeeding sentences), with respect to any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, an amount equal to the amount of such LC Disbursement in the applicable Alternative Currency not later than the first Business Day following the date the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that, in the case of any LC Disbursement made in Dollars, to the extent not reimbursed and, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, including, without limitation, making a request in accordance with Section 2.03(a) that such payment shall be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing, as the case may be, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing. If the Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender to any stamp, duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, the Borrower shall pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or Lender. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then (i) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Amount of such LC Disbursement and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement and the Dollar Amount thereof.
If the Borrower fails to make any payment due under the preceding paragraph with respect to a Letter of Credit when due (including by a Borrowing), the Administrative Agent shall notify each
45
Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement (as converted to Dollars, if applicable), the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(e) with respect to any LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Revolving Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.02 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.02, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, nor the applicable Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the applicable Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
46
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the applicable Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with the terms herein.
(h) Interim Interest. If the applicable Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse (including by a Borrowing) such LC Disbursement in full not later than the first Business Day following the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.08 shall apply; provided further that, in the case of an LC Disbursement made under a Letter of Credit in an Alternative Currency, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement that is reimbursed on the Business Day immediately succeeding such LC Disbursement, (A) be payable in the applicable Alternative Currency and (B) if not reimbursed on the date of such LC Disbursement, bear interest at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Lender to be the cost to such Issuing Lender of funding such LC Disbursement plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans at such time and (ii) in the case of any LC Disbursement that is reimbursed after the Business Day immediately succeeding such LC Disbursement (A) be payable in Dollars, (B) accrue on the Dollar Amount of such LC Disbursement and (C) bear interest as provided above. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.02 to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement of the Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.21. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j) Replacement of Letters of Credit; Cash Collateralization. The Borrower shall (i) upon or prior to the occurrence of the earlier of (A) the Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to all Revolving Commitments and (B) the acceleration of the Loans (if any) and the termination of the Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof, (x) cause all Letters of Credit which expire after the earlier to occur of (A) the Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect to all Revolving Commitments
47
and (B) the acceleration of the Loans (if any) and the termination of the Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Outstanding Letters of Credit”) to be returned to the applicable Issuing Lender undrawn and marked “cancelled” or (y) if the Borrower does not do so in whole or in part either (A) provide one or more “back-to-back” letters of credit to each applicable Issuing Lender with respect to any such Outstanding Letters of Credit in a form reasonably satisfactory to each such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, issued by a bank reasonably satisfactory to each such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, and/or (B) deposit cash in the Letter of Credit Account, as collateral security for the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in connection with any such Outstanding Letters of Credit, such cash (or any applicable portion thereof) to be promptly remitted to the Borrower (provided no Event of Default or event which upon notice or lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing) upon the expiration, cancellation or other termination or satisfaction of the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect to such Outstanding Letters of Credit, in whole or in part; in an aggregate principal amount for all such “back-to-back” letters of credit and any such Cash Collateralization equal to 103% of the then outstanding amount of all LC Exposure (less the amount, if any, on deposit in the Letter of Credit Account prior to taking any action pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above), and (ii) if required pursuant to Section 2.02(m), 2.12(c), 2.12(d), 2.26(d)(ii), 2.26(e)(ii), 2.26(f), 2.27(b) or 7.01 or pursuant to any Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, deposit in the Letter of Credit Account an amount required pursuant to Section 2.02(m), 2.12(c), 2.12(d), 2.26(d)(ii), 2.26(e)(ii), 2.26(f), 2.27(b) or 7.01, or pursuant to any such Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable; provided that the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements in an Alternative Currency that the Borrower is not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Alternative Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements (any such deposit described in the preceding clause (i) or clause (ii), “Cash Collateralization” (it being understood that any LC Exposure shall only be deemed to be “Cash Collateralized” to the extent a deposit as described above is made in an amount equal to 103% of the amount of such LC Exposure)). The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Letter of Credit Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent (in accordance with its usual and customary practices for investments of this type) and at the Borrower’s risk and reasonable expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time. If the Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateralization hereunder pursuant to Section 2.02(m), 2.12(c), 2.12(d), 2.26(d)(ii), 2.26(e)(ii), 2.26(f) or 2.27(b), or the terms of any Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, such Cash Collateralization (to the extent not applied as contemplated by the applicable section) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after the applicable section (or Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable) no longer requires the provision of such Cash Collateralization.
(k) Issuing Lender Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding week, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed, or extended by it (and whether, subject to Section 2.02(b), the face amount
48
of any such Letter of Credit was changed thereby) and the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Lender on such day, the date of such failure, and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
(l) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Section 7.01, all amounts (i) that the Borrower is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which such Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.02(j), if such cash collateral is deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Revolving Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(e) in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) of each Revolving Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Amount of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender in respect of the Obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.
(m) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Commitments and Commitments in Respect of Refinancing Revolving Facilities. If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit with respect to which Lenders holding such Revolving Commitments hold participation interests, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.02(d) or (e) and for any reallocations required pursuant to Section 2.26(d)(i)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.02(j). For the avoidance of doubt, commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit under any tranche of Revolving Commitments that has not so then matured shall be as agreed in the relevant Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable, with such Revolving Lenders (to the extent such Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment so provides).

Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01(a):

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03(a), the Administrative Agent shall advise each Revolving Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
(b) Term Loans. To request the Term Loans on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time one (1) Business Day before the Closing Date. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01(b):
(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing (which shall comply with Section 2.01(d));
(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03(b), the Administrative
50
Agent shall advise each Term Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Term Lender’s Term Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Revolving Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, or such earlier time as may be reasonably practicable, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.02(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender.
(b) Each Term Lender shall make each Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, or such earlier time as may be reasonably practicable, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (or, with respect to any ABR Borrowing made on same-day notice, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraphs (a) and/or (b) of this Section 2.04 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith upon written demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to (i) convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans, (ii) convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (iii) continue any Eurodollar Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.
(b) To make an Interest Election Request pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03(a) or Section 2.03(b) if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
51
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.
(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:
(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and upon the request of the Required Lenders, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.06. Limitation on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a)after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than twenty Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.
SECTION 2.07. Interest on Loans.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, each ABR Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, when the
52
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, a year with 365 days or 366 days in a leap year) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, to the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) Accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, on the Termination Date with respect to such Loans or the related Commitments and thereafter on written demand and (with respect to Eurodollar Loans) upon any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount repaid or prepaid); provided that in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
SECTION 2.08. Default Interest. If the Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or in the payment of any other amount becoming due hereunder (including, without limitation, the reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.02(e) of any LC Disbursements), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall on written demand of the Administrative Agent from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on all overdue amounts up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, when the Alternate Base Rate is applicable and is based on the Prime Rate, a year of 365 days or 366 days in a leap year) equal to (a) with respect to the principal amount of any Loan, the rate then applicable for such Borrowings plus 2.0%, and (b) in the case of all other amounts, the rate applicable for ABR Loans plus 2.0%.
SECTION 2.09. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent manifest error) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written, facsimile or telegraphic notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders and, until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans hereunder (including pursuant to a refinancing with Eurodollar Loans and including any request to continue, or to convert to, Eurodollar Loans) shall be deemed a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans.
SECTION 2.10. Amortization of Term Loans; Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan then outstanding on the Revolving Facility Termination Date applicable to such Revolving Loan.
(b) The principal amount of the Term Loans borrowed on the Closing Date shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments (each, an “Installment”) of 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount thereof, each on the last day of each calendar quarter of each year commencing on December 31, 2015. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) such Installments shall be reduced in connection
53
with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with Sections 2.12 and 2.13, as applicable; and (2) the Term Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Term Loan Termination Date.
(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The Borrower shall have the right, upon reasonable notice, to request information regarding the accounts referred to in the preceding sentence.
(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.02) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
SECTION 2.11. Optional Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. Upon at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Unused Total Revolving Commitment; provided that each such notice shall be revocable to the extent such termination or reduction would have resulted from a refinancing of the Obligations, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. Each such reduction of the Unused Total Revolving Commitment shall be in the principal amount not less than $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the Commitment Fee accrued and unpaid on the amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender so terminated or reduced through the date thereof. Any reduction of the Total Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender on a pro rata basis.
SECTION 2.12. Mandatory Prepayment of Loans and Mandatory Commitment Reductions; Commitment Termination.
(a) Within three (3) Business Days of the Borrower or any other Grantor receiving any Net Cash Proceeds as a result of an Asset Sale or a Recovery Event in respect of Collateral
54
(including, without limitation, an Event of Loss concerning an Airframe, Engine, Spare Engine or, if applicable, Spare Parts), the Borrower or such other Grantor shall, if the Borrower shall not be in compliance with Section 6.06(a) on the date such Net Cash Proceeds are received, deposit cash in an amount (the “Net Cash Proceeds Amount”) equal to the amount of such received Net Cash Proceeds (solely to the extent necessary to maintain compliance with Section 6.06(a)) into an account that is maintained with the Administrative Agent for such purpose and subject to an Account Control Agreement and thereafter such Net Cash Proceeds Amount shall be applied (to the extent not otherwise applied pursuant to the immediately succeeding proviso and solely to the extent the Borrower is not in compliance with Section 6.06(a)) in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.12(c); provided that (i) in the case of any Net Cash Proceeds Amount in respect of any Event of Loss so deposited and involving an Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, the Borrower shall be permitted to use such Net Cash Proceeds Amount to replace such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, as the case may be, with a Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine, as the case may be, in accordance with the requirements of the Aircraft Mortgage, with such Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine to be subject to the Lien of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Aircraft Mortgage and otherwise satisfying the requirements of the Aircraft Mortgage at the time of (or substantially simultaneously with) the release of such Net Cash Proceeds Amount, (ii) in the case of any Net Cash Proceeds Amount in respect of any Recovery Event (other than any such Net Cash Proceeds Amount covered by clause (i) above) so deposited, the Borrower may use such Net Cash Proceeds Amount to repair or replace the assets which are the subject of such Recovery Event with comparable assets which shall be subject to a first priority (subject to Specified Permitted Collateral Liens) Lien of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (iii) in the case of any Net Cash Proceeds Amount in respect of any Asset Sale so deposited, the Borrower may use such Net Cash Proceeds Amount to replace the assets which are the subject of such Asset Sale with comparable assets within 365 days after such deposit is made, (iv) all such Net Cash Proceeds Amounts shall be subject to release as provided in Section 6.06(c) or, at the option of the Borrower at any time, may be applied in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.12(c), and (v) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the amount of any such deposit may be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.12(c); provided that any release of any Net Cash Proceeds Amount pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section shall be conditioned on the Borrower being in compliance with Section 6.06(a) after giving effect thereto (it being understood that the failure to be in compliance with Section 6.06(a) shall not prevent the release of any Net Cash Proceeds Amount in connection with any repair or replacement of assets permitted hereunder so long as no decrease in the Collateral Coverage Ratio will result therefrom).
(b) The Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans and/or the Revolving Loans (without any corresponding reduction in Revolving Commitments) in an amount necessary to comply with Section 6.06, in each case as directed by the Borrower.
(c) Amounts required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a) shall be applied to prepay (i) first, the outstanding Term Loans and (ii) second, the outstanding Revolving Loans (and to provide Cash Collateralization for the outstanding LC Exposure following the repayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans). All such prepayments of Term Loans shall be accompanied by any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13(d), if any, and shall be applied to the remaining scheduled Installments as directed by the Borrower, and all such prepayments of Revolving Loans (and Cash Collateralization of the outstanding LC Exposure) shall be accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in the Revolving Commitments. Any Cash Collateralization of outstanding LC Exposure shall be consummated in accordance with Section 2.02(j). The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Term Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.12 may not be reborrowed.
55
(d) If at any time the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit for any reason exceed the Total Revolving Commitment at such time (taking into account any permanent reductions of Revolving Commitments required pursuant to Section 2.12(c)), the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Revolving Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent of such excess.
(e) Upon the Revolving Facility Termination Date applicable to any Revolving Commitment, such Revolving Commitment shall be terminated in full and the Borrower shall repay the applicable Revolving Loans in full and, except as the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree in writing, if any Letter of Credit remains outstanding, comply with Section 2.02(j) in accordance therewith.
(f) All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to (but not including) the date of prepayment, plus any Fees and any losses, costs and expenses, as more fully described in Section 2.15 and 2.19 hereof.
SECTION 2.13. Optional Prepayment of Loans.
(a) The Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time subject to clause (d) below, to prepay any Loans, in whole or in part, (i) with respect to Eurodollar Loans, upon (A) telephonic notice followed promptly by written or facsimile notice or (B) written or facsimile notice received by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of prepayment and (ii) with respect to ABR Loans, upon written or facsimile notice received by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the proposed date of prepayment; provided that ABR Loans may be prepaid on the same day notice is given if such notice is received by the Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon, New York City time; provided further, however, that (A) each such partial prepayment shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, (B) no prepayment of Eurodollar Loans shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is accompanied by the payment of the amounts described in Section 2.15, and (C) no partial prepayment of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $10,000,000.
(b) Any prepayments under Section 2.13(a) shall be applied, at the Borrower’s option, to (i) repay the outstanding Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lenders (without any reduction in the Total Revolving Commitment) and Cash Collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.02(j) until all Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full (plus any accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon) and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, or, if outstanding, then backed by such Cash Collateralization and/or (ii) prepay the Term Loans of the Term Lenders. All such prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining scheduled Installments in the manner directed by the Borrower. All prepayments under Section 2.13(a) shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to (but not including) the date of prepayment, plus any Fees and any losses, costs and expenses, as more fully described in Sections 2.15 and 2.19 hereof. Term Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.13(a) may not be reborrowed.
(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which made, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Loan by the
56
amount and on the date stated therein; provided that the Borrower may revoke any notice of prepayment under this Section 2.13 if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of any or all of the Obligations hereunder, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrower hereunder, notify each Lender of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment.
(d) In the event that, prior to the date that is six months following the Closing Date, there shall occur any Repricing Event, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Term Lenders holding Term Loans subject to such Repricing Event, (x) in the case of a Repricing Event of the type described in clause (b) of the definition thereof, a prepayment premium of 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans subject to such Repricing Event and (y) in the case of a Repricing Event of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans subject to such Repricing Event outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness thereof, in each case, unless such fee is waived by the applicable Term Lender. Any Term Lender that is a non-consenting Lender in respect of a Repricing Event may be replaced in accordance with Section 10.08(d) to the extent permitted thereby; provided that any such Term Lender so replaced shall be entitled to the prepayment premium set forth in clause (y) of the preceding sentence with respect to its Term Loans so assigned unless such fee is waived by such Term Lender.
SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement subject to Section 2.14(c)) or Issuing Lender; or
(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of converting any ABR Loan to a Eurodollar Loan or making, maintaining or continuing any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or Issuing Lender reasonably determines in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to
57
such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts, in each case as documented by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; it being understood that to the extent duplicative of the provisions in Section 2.16, this Section 2.14(b) shall not apply to Taxes.
(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, and which notice shall specify the Statutory Reserve Rate, if any, applicable to such Lender) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.
(d) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention as to the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.
(f) Any determination by a Lender or Issuing Lender of amounts owed pursuant to this Section 2.14 to such Lender or Issuing Lender due to any Change in Law, pursuant to the proviso in the definition thereof shall be made in good faith in a manner generally consistent with such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s standard practice.
58
SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 10.08(d), then, in any such event, at the request of such Lender, the Borrower shall compensate such Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event; provided that in no case shall this Section 2.15 apply in connection with any Installment paid pursuant to Section 2.10(b). Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined in good faith by such Lender or Issuing Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan (excluding, however the Applicable Margin included therein, if any), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrower or applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16), the Administrative Agent, Lender, Issuing Lender or any other recipient of such payments (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.
(b) In addition, the Borrower or any Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. After an Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender learns of the imposition of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, such party will act in good faith to notify the Borrower
59
promptly of its obligations thereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or Issuing Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, 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 to the extent available, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. 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.
(f) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax , with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or requested by the Borrower as will (i) enable the Borrower to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements, and (ii) permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.16(f) that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(g) (1) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (who shall deliver to the Borrower, if requested) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when the previously delivered certificates and/or forms expire, or upon request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable: (i) two (2) duly executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (ii) two (2) duly executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, (iii) two (2) duly executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, together with applicable attachments, (iv) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (D) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected and (y) two (2) duly executed originals of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax and reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or required deduction to be made. Any Lender that is a “United States Person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (who shall deliver to the Borrower, if requested), on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when the previously delivered certificates and/or forms expire, or upon request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (2) properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form
60
W-9 (or any successor form), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. A Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or statement pursuant to this Section 2.16(g) that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.
If the Administrative Agent is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent (and from time to time thereafter when the previously delivered forms expire, or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
The Administrative Agent and 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) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or 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 or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
(h) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender 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 by the Borrower or a Guarantor or with respect to which the Borrower or a Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over an amount equal to such refund to the Borrower or such Guarantor (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or such Guarantor under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund (including Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) if, and then only to the extent, the payment of such amount would place the Administrative Agent or Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
61
SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment.
(a) The Borrower shall make each payment or prepayment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set‑off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, pursuant to wire instructions to be provided by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 10.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in the applicable currency.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all Obligations then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of Fees and expenses then due under Sections 2.19 and 10.04 payable to the Administrative Agent, (ii) second, towards payment of Fees and expenses then due under Sections 2.20, 2.21 and 10.04 payable to the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders and towards payment of interest then due on account of the Revolving Loans, the Term Loans and Letters of Credit, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such Fees and expenses and interest then due to such parties and (iii) third, towards payment of (A) principal of the Revolving Loans and Term Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, (B) any Designated Banking Product Obligations then due, to the extent such Designated Banking Product Obligations constitute “Obligations” hereunder, and (C) any Designated Hedging Obligations then due, to the extent such Designated Hedging Obligations constitute “Obligations” hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, Designated Banking Product Obligations constituting Obligations and Designated Hedging Obligations constituting Obligations then due to such parties (provided that no amounts received from any Guarantor shall be applied to Excluded Hedging Obligations of such Guarantor).
(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
62
(d) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(d), 2.02(e), 2.04(a), 2.04(b), 8.04 or 10.04(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
(e) Pro Rata Treatment. (i) Each payment by the Borrower of interest in respect of the Loans of any Class shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders of such Class pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.
(ii) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders (except that (i) an optional prepayment pursuant to Section 2.13 need only be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans of the applicable tranche being prepaid then held by the Term Lenders, (ii) any prepayment of Term Loans with the proceeds of Refinancing Debt shall be applied solely to each applicable tranche of the Indebtedness being refinanced and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, assignments to the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.02(g) shall not be subject to this Section). Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrrowed.
(iii) each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.
SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount or indemnification payment to any Lender under Section 2.14 or to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder, to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates or to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation, assignment or filing (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If, after the date hereof, any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.02), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts due, owing and payable to it hereunder at such time, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
63
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.19. Certain Fees. The Borrower shall pay (a) to the Lenders (or their affiliates) party thereto the fees set forth in that certain Arrangement Fee Letter dated as of July 2, 2015 among such Lenders (or their affiliates) and the Borrower at the times set forth therein and (b) to the Administrative Agent the fees set forth in that certain Administrative Agent Fee Letter dated as of July 2, 2015 between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in each case at the times set forth therein.
SECTION 2.20. Commitment Fee and Upfront Term Loan Fee.
(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Revolving Lenders a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the period commencing on the Closing Date to the Revolving Facility Termination Date with respect to the applicable Revolving Commitments or the earlier date of termination of the applicable Revolving Commitment, computed (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily Unused Total Revolving Commitment. Such Commitment Fee, to the extent then accrued, shall be payable (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) on the Revolving Facility Termination Date with respect to the applicable Revolving Commitments, and (iii) as provided in Section 2.11 hereof, upon any reduction or termination in whole or in part of the Total Revolving Commitment.
(b) The Borrower shall pay on the Closing Date to each Term Lender as of such date, as compensation for the funding of such Term Lender’s Term Loans, an upfront fee (the “Upfront Term Loan Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.50% of the amount of such Term Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, payable to such Term Lender from the proceeds of its Term Loan as and when funded on the Closing Date. The Upfront Term Loan Fees shall be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter.
SECTION 2.21. Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay with respect to each Letter of Credit (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders a fee calculated (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at the per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility on the daily average LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), to be shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and (ii) to each Issuing Lender (with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it), such Issuing Lender’s customary fees for issuance, amendments and processing referred to in Section 2.02. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay each Issuing Lender for its account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination of such Letter of Credit. Accrued fees described in this paragraph in respect of each Letter of Credit shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Facility Termination Date with respect to the applicable Revolving Commitments.
SECTION 2.22. Nature of Fees. All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers, as applicable, as provided herein and in the fee letters described in Section 2.19. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.
64
SECTION 2.23. Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(b), the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and their respective banking Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding deposits in the Escrow Accounts, Payroll Accounts and other accounts, in each case, held in trust for an identified beneficiary) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent and each such Lender (or any of such banking Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor against any and all of any such overdue amounts owing to such Lender (or any of such banking Affiliates) or the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under any Loan Document; provided that no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Hedging Obligations of such Guarantor; provided, further, that each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application; provided, further, that 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 2.26(g) 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 Issuing Lenders and the Revolving 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. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree promptly to notify the Borrower and Guarantors after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (or any of such banking Affiliates), as the case may be, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.23 are in addition to other rights and remedies which such Lender and the Administrative Agent may have upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
SECTION 2.24. Security Interest in Letter of Credit Account. The Borrower and the Guarantors hereby pledge to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, and hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, a first priority security interest, senior to all other Liens, if any, in all of the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit Account, any direct investment of the funds contained therein and any proceeds thereof. Cash held in the Letter of Credit Account shall not be available for use by the Borrower, and shall be released to the Borrower only as described in clause (i)(B) of Section 2.02(j).
SECTION 2.25. Payment of Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, upon the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of any of the Obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents of the Borrower and the Guarantors, the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Obligations.
SECTION 2.26. Defaulting Lenders. (a) If at any time any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.02(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance and subject to any consents required by such Section) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative
65
Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person.
(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.26(a) shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender’s outstanding Commitments, Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, and (ii) deliver any documentation evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s outstanding Commitments, Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Commitments, Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance (including, without limitation, any amounts owed under Section 2.15 due to such replacement occurring on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period), and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate documentation executed by the Borrower in connection with previous Borrowings, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Commitments, Loans and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender; provided that an assignment contemplated by this Section 2.26(b) shall become effective notwithstanding the failure by the Lender being replaced to deliver the Assignment and Acceptance contemplated by this Section 2.26(b), so long as the other actions specified in this Section 2.26(b) shall have been taken.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Revolving Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, during such period, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.20(a) and 2.21 (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that (i) to the extent that all or a portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.26(d)(i), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender shall instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, and (ii) to the extent that all or any portion of such LC Exposure cannot be so reallocated and is not Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.26(d)(ii), such fees shall instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Issuing Lenders as their interests appear (and the applicable pro rata payment provisions under this Agreement shall automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section).
(d) If any LC Exposure exists at the time a Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i) the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, upon notice by the Administrative Agent, and subject in any event 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 Commitments; provided that (A) the Revolving Extensions of Credit of each such Non-Defaulting Lender may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (B) such reallocation will not constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender and (C) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result thereof will cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; and
66
(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than three (3) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent, (A) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders in respect of such LC Exposure in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such LC Exposure or (B) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.
(e) In addition to the other conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, if any Revolving Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit or to amend any outstanding Letter of Credit, unless:
(i) in the case of a Defaulting Lender, the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated, as to outstanding and future Letters of Credit, to the Non-Defaulting Lenders as provided in Section 2.26(d)(i), and
(ii) to the extent full reallocation does not occur as provided in clause (i) above, without limiting the provisions of Section 2.26(f), the Borrower Cash Collateralizes the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit, or makes other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lenders in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender, or
(iii) to the extent that neither reallocation nor Cash Collateralization occurs pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii), then in the case of a proposed issuance of a Letter of Credit, by an instrument or instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, (A) the Borrower agrees that the face amount of such requested Letter of Credit will be reduced by an amount equal to the portion thereof as to which such Defaulting Lender would otherwise be liable, and (B) the Non-Defaulting Lenders confirm, in their discretion, that their obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and that the applicable pro rata payment provisions under this Agreement will be deemed adjusted to reflect this provision (provided that nothing in this clause (iii) will be deemed to increase the Revolving Commitments of any Lender, nor to constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender, nor to cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender).
(f) If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender and if any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding, the applicable Issuing Lender may (except to the extent the Revolving Commitments of such Defaulting Lender have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.26(d)(i)), by notice to the Borrower and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to such Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.
(g) Any amount paid by the Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal,
67
interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but shall instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account until (subject to Section 2.26(i)) the termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder 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, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders under this Agreement, third to the payment of the default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Revolving Lenders which are Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(h) The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.26(g) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
(i) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders agree in writing that a Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Revolving Lenders, 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 2.26(g)), such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such portions of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders, and/or make such other adjustments, as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Lenders to hold Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, whereupon such Revolving Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and the LC Exposure of each Revolving Lender shall automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued while such Revolving 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 shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Revolving Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) any Lender that is an Issuing Lender hereunder may not be replaced in its capacity as an Issuing Lender at any time that it has a Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit and (y) the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 8.05.
68
SECTION 2.27. Currency Equivalents.
(a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of (x) the LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency based on the Exchange Rate (i) as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower and (ii) on or about the date of the related notice requesting the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (y) any other amount to be converted into Dollars in accordance with the provisions hereof at the time of such conversion.
(b) If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, (x) the LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender exceeds 105% of the LC Commitment of such Issuing Lender or (y) the LC Exposure exceeds 105% of the LC Sublimit, in each case the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(j)(ii) in an amount equal to such excess.
SECTION 2.28. Increase in Commitments.
(a) Borrower Request. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request (x) prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, an increase to the existing Revolving Commitments (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) and/or (y) the establishment of one or more new Term Loan Commitments (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment” and, together with Revolving Commitment Increase, the “Incremental Commitments”) by an amount not less than $50,000,000 individually. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the increased or new Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations (each provider of the Incremental Commitments referred to herein as an “Incremental Lender”); provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the increased or new Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased or new Commitment.
(b) Conditions. The Incremental Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that:
(i) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied;
(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the Borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date;
(iii) after giving pro forma effect to the Borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.06;
(iv) in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase, the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.15 in connection with any adjustment of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.28(d); and
(v) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.
69
(c) Terms of New Loans and Incremental Commitments. The terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Commitments shall be as follows:
(i) terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Loan Commitments (“Incremental Term Loans”) shall be, except as otherwise set forth in the Increase Joinder, identical to any Class of existing Term Loans (it being understood that the Incremental Term Loans may be part of such Class of Term Loans);
(ii) the terms and provisions of Revolving Loans made pursuant to Incremental Commitments shall be identical to any Class of existing Revolving Loans;
(iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the existing Term Loans;
(iv) the maturity date of Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date of the existing Term Loans;
(v) the interest rate margins for the new Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders; provided, however, that, the interest rate margins for such new Incremental Term Loans borrowed prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date shall not be greater than the highest interest rate margins that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to any existing Term Loans plus 50 basis points (and the interest rate margins applicable to the existing Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary to achieve the foregoing); provided, further, that in determining the interest rate margins applicable to the existing Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, (x) original issue discount or upfront or similar fees (collectively, “OID”) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the existing Term Loans or the Incremental Term Loans in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to arrangers (or their respective Affiliates) (and any other similar fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared ratably with all lenders or holders of such term loans) shall be excluded and (z) if the Incremental Term Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the existing Term Loans, such increased amount shall be equated to interest rate margins for purposes of determining whether an increase in the interest rate margins for the existing Term Loans shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the existing Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate margins, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Margin) applicable to the existing Term Loans shall be increased by such increased amount (the calculation set forth in this proviso being referred to as the “all-in yield” calculation); and
(vi) to the extent that the terms and provisions of Incremental Term Loans are not identical to the existing Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (iv) or (v) above) they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
The Incremental Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Lender making such Incremental Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.28. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise
70
requires, to include references to Revolving Loans made pursuant to Incremental Commitments and Incremental Term Loans, respectively, made pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) Adjustment of Revolving Loans. To the extent the Commitments being increased on the relevant Increase Effective Date are Revolving Commitments, then each Revolving Lender that is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Commitment on the Increase Effective Date shall make a Revolving Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders immediately prior to such Increase Effective Date so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans outstanding are held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata based on their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such Increase Effective Date. If there is a new Borrowing of Revolving Loans on such Increase Effective Date, the Revolving Lenders after giving effect to such Increase Effective Date shall make such Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.01(a).
(e) Making of New Term Loans. On any Increase Effective Date on which new Commitments for Term Loans are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender of such Incremental Commitment shall make a Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Commitment.
(f) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Collateral Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure that the Lien and security interests granted by the Collateral Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Class of Term Loans or any such Incremental Commitments.
SECTION 2.29. Extension of the Term Loans; Extension of Revolving Loans.
(a) Extension of Term Loans. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.29. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (y) be identical to the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be amended, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that at no time shall there be Classes of Term Loans hereunder (including Refinancing Term Facilities and Extended Term Loans) which have more than five (5) different maturity dates; (ii) the effective yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the effective yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the
71
Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (iv) Extended Term Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided, that (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Term Loan Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then maturity date of the existing Term Loan from which such Extended Term Loans are to be extended, (C) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter (other than by virtue of amortization or prepayment of such Indebtedness prior to the time of incurrence of such Extended Term Loans) than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Existing Term Loan Tranche, (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (E) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) with all other Term Loans in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche. Each Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.29 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $50,000,000.
(b) Extension of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of a given Class (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the maturity date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Commitments (any such Revolving Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.29. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the maturity date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be delayed to a later date than the maturity date of the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that at no time shall there be Classes of Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Refinancing Revolving Facilities and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than five (5) different maturity dates; (ii) the effective yield with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the effective yield for extensions of credit under the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments); and (iv) all borrowings under the
72
applicable Revolving Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (II) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Commitments); provided, further, that (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Revolver Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Revolver Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Revolving Commitments hereunder and (C) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments incurred under this Section 2.29 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000.
(c) Extension Request. The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.29. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans or any of its Revolving Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) holding a Loan under an Existing Term Loan Tranche wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans and any Revolving Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.
(d) Extension Amendment. Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Extending
73
Revolving Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.29(a) or (b) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent necessary to (A) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (B) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.10 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.10), (C) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.12 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto and (D) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.29, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.
(e) No conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.29 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

76

THE AGENTS
THE AGENTS
SECTION 8.01. Administration by Agents. (a) Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent 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, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(ii) to determine that the cost to the Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, is disproportionate to the benefit to be realized by the Secured Parties by perfecting a Lien in a given asset or group of assets included in the Collateral and that the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, should not be required to perfect such Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties;

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for, or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into, (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, and (iv) the Administrative Agent will 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 law, including for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect.
(b) 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent 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 be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
104
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.
(c) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it.

The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs 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.
SECTION 8.04. Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse on demand the Administrative Agent for such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage of any expenses and fees incurred for the benefit of the Lenders under this Agreement and any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, and any other expense incurred in connection with the operations or enforcement thereof, not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Guarantors and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its Related Parties, on demand, in the amount equal to such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Guarantors (except such as shall result from its gross negligence or willful misconduct).
SECTION 8.05. Successor Agents. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (provided no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing) of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. 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 Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 it was acting as an Administrative Agent.
SECTION 8.06. Independent Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to
105
enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 8.07. Advances and Payments.
(a) On the date of each Loan, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (but not obligated) to advance, for the account of each of the Lenders, the amount of the Loan to be made by it in accordance with its Revolving Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, hereunder. Should the Administrative Agent do so, each of the Lenders agrees forthwith to reimburse the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the amount so advanced on its behalf by the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate if not so reimbursed on the date due from and including such date but not including the date of reimbursement.
(b) Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement (other than amounts to which the Administrative Agent is entitled pursuant to Sections 2.18, 2.19, 8.04 and 10.04), the application of which is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.17(b). All amounts to be paid to a Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be credited to that Lender, after collection by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in that Lender’s correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, as such Lender and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree.
SECTION 8.08. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that, except to the extent this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if it shall, through the exercise either by it or any of its banking Affiliates of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or a Guarantor, including, but not limited to, a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim and received by such Lender (or any of its banking Affiliates) under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of its Loans or LC Exposure as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Loans or LC Exposure is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Loans or LC Exposure of any other Lender (a) it shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Lender a participation in the Loans or LC Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Lender’s Loans and LC Exposure and its participation in Loans and LC Exposure of the other Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding and LC Exposure as the principal amount of its Loans and LC Exposure prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and LC Exposure prior to the obtaining of such payment and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Lenders share such payment pro-rata, provided that if any such non-pro-rata payment is thereafter recovered or otherwise set aside, such purchase of participations shall be rescinded (without interest). The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender holding (or deemed to be holding) a participation in a Loan or LC Exposure acquired pursuant to this Section or any of its banking Affiliates may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender as fully as if such Lender was the original obligee thereon, in the amount of such participation.
106
SECTION 8.09. Other Agents. No Agent (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, no such Agent shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any such Agent in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
SECTION 8.10. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding tax applicable to such payment. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason, or the Administrative Agent has paid over to the Internal Revenue Service applicable withholding tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, without duplication of any indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.04, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred.
SECTION 8.11. Appointment by Secured Parties. Each Secured Party that is not a party to this Agreement shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of this Section 8 and to have acknowledged that the provisions of this Section 8 apply to such Secured Party mutatis mutandis as though it were a party hereto (and any acceptance by such Secured Party of the benefits of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed an acknowledgment of the foregoing).
SECTION 9.
GUARANTY
GUARANTY
SECTION 9.01. Guaranty.
(a) Each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual payment by the Borrower of the Obligations (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Hedging Obligation of such Guarantor, and including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of the obligor whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations” and the obligations of each Guarantor in respect thereof, its “Guaranty Obligations”). Each of the Guarantors further agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and it will remain bound upon this guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations. The Obligations of the Guarantors shall be joint and several. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guaranty hereunder is a primary obligation of such Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives presentation to, demand for payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Guarantor, and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Designated Bank Product Agreement, Designated Hedging Agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or
107
renewal of any provision hereof or thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, compromise, acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents, Designated Bank Product Agreements or Designated Hedging Agreements; (iv) the release, exchange, waiver or foreclosure of any security held by the Administrative Agent for the Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender or any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; or (vi) the release or substitution of any Collateral or any other Guarantor.
(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors further agrees that this guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not just of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or a Lender or any other Secured Party to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit, account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or a Lender or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or to any other Person.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense that it might have based on a failure to remain informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of any other Guarantor and any circumstances affecting the ability of the Borrower to perform under this Agreement.
(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor’s guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any other instrument evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor or by any other circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to this guaranty (other than payment in full in cash of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than those that constitute unasserted contingent indemnification obligations)). None of the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders or any other Secured Party makes any representation or warranty in respect to any such circumstances or shall have any duty or responsibility whatsoever to any Guarantor in respect of the management and maintenance of the Obligations.
Upon the occurrence of the Obligations becoming due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise), the Lenders and the other Secured Parties shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Obligations by the Guarantors upon written demand by the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.02. No Impairment of Guaranty. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision hereof or thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantors or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantors as a matter of law.
108
SECTION 9.03. Continuation and Reinstatement, etc. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, any Lender or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or a Guarantor, or otherwise.
SECTION 9.04. Subrogation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent or a Lender or any other Secured Party hereunder, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all the Obligations (including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of an obligor whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding). If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor for the account of the Borrower relating to the Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
SECTION 9.05. Discharge of Guaranty.
(a) If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor hereunder shall be sold or otherwise Disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, such guarantee of such Guarantor provided herein shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Person effective as of the time of such sale or Disposition.
(b) In addition, upon the request of the Borrower, the guarantee of any Guarantor that is an Immaterial Subsidiary shall be promptly released; provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall result therefrom and (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that such Subsidiary is an Immaterial Subsidiary; provided further that a Subsidiary that is considered not to be an Immaterial Subsidiary solely pursuant to clause (1) of the proviso of the definition thereof shall, solely for purposes of this clause (b), be considered an Immaterial Subsidiary so long as any applicable guarantee, pledge or other obligation of such Subsidiary with respect to any Pari Passu Senior Secured Debt or Junior Secured Debt shall be irrevocably released and discharged substantially simultaneously with the release of such guarantee hereunder.
(c) At such time as the Obligations (other than any (x) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (y) obligations and liabilities under any Designated Banking Product Agreement or Designated Hedging Agreement) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments hereunder have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (except for Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lenders), the guarantee provided herein and the Guarantors providing such guarantee shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Person.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver, at the Borrower’s expense, such documents as the Borrower or any such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of the guarantee of such Guarantor provided herein.

(C) each Issuing Lender; provided that no consent of any Issuing Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) any assignment of any portion of the Total Revolving Commitment, Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and Term Loans shall be made to an Eligible Assignee;
(B) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Loans, the amount of such Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (with respect to Term Loans) or $5,000,000 (with respect to Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans), and after giving effect to such assignment, the portion of the Loan or Commitment held by the assigning Lender of the same tranche as the assigned portion of the Loan or Commitment shall not be less than $1,000,000 (with respect to Term Loans) or $5,000,000 (with respect to Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans), in each case unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), Section 7.01(f) or Section 7.01(g) has occurred and is continuing; provided further that any such assignment shall be in increments of $500,000 in excess of the minimum amount described above;
111
(C) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;
(D) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for the account of the Administrative Agent (unless otherwise agreed);

(F) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any assignment of any Term Loans to the Borrower shall be subject to the requirements of Section 10.02(g).
For the purposes of this Section 10.02(b), the term “Approved Fund” shall mean any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for monitoring the Disqualified Institutions list and shall have no liability for non-compliance by any Lender. The Disqualified Institutions list shall be made available to any Lender upon request to the Administrative Agent.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 10.02, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Revolving Lender and/or a Term Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 10.04). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.02 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
112
(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no assignment may be made hereunder 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 (v).
(vi) 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 thereto 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 Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each other Revolving Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage. 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.
(c) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire in a form as the Administrative Agent may require (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(d) or (e), 2.04(a), 2.04(b), 8.04 or 10.04(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(d) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Disqualified Institution to the extent the Disqualified Institutions list is made available to any Lender upon request to the Administrative Agent) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.08(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
113
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to the requirements of Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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 this Agreement or any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, the Borrower, a Guarantor and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Sections 2.16(f), 2.16(g), 2.16(h) and 2.18 as though it were a Lender.
(e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 10.02 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.02, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Guarantors furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of Section 10.03 or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 10.03.
(g) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 10.02(b); provided that
(i) the assigning Lender and the Borrower purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance;
(ii) such assignment shall be made pursuant to (x) a Dutch Auction open to all Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis and/or (y) open market purchases;
114
(iii) any Loans assigned to the Borrower shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder;
(iv) no such assignment may be funded with the proceeds of any Revolving Loans;
(v) no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing;
(vi) any non-cash gain in respect of “cancellation of indebtedness” resulting from the cancellation of any Term Loans purchased by the Borrower shall not increase EBITDAR; and
(vii) the assignment to the Borrower and cancellation of Term Loans in connection with a Dutch Auction or open market purchases shall not constitute a mandatory or voluntary payment for purposes of Section 2.12 or 2.13, and shall not be subject to Section 8.08, but the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans purchased pursuant to this Section 10.02(g) and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans shall be reduced pro rata by the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased.
SECTION 10.03. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to keep any information delivered or made available by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors to it confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures, from anyone other than persons employed or retained by such Lender who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans, and who are advised by such Lender of the confidential nature of such information; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing such information (a) to any of its Affiliates and their respective agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential) or to any other Lender, (b) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (c) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority, (d) which has been publicly disclosed other than as a result of a disclosure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender which is not permitted by this Agreement, (e) in connection with any litigation to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or their respective Affiliates may be a party to the extent reasonably required, (f) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (g) to such Lender’s legal counsel and independent auditors and (h) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee of all or part of its rights hereunder or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, in each case, (i) other than a Disqualified Institution and (ii) subject to the proviso in Section 10.02(f) (with any reference to any assignee or participant set forth in such proviso being deemed to include a reference to such contractual counterparty for purposes of this Section 10.03(h)). If any Lender is in any manner requested or required to disclose any of the information delivered or made available to it by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors under clauses (b) or (e) of this Section, such Lender will, to the extent permitted by law, provide the Borrower with prompt notice, to the extent reasonable, so that the Borrower may seek, at its sole expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy or may waive compliance with this Section. In addition, any Lender may disclose information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.
SECTION 10.04. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver(a) . (a) (i) The Borrower shall pay or reimburse: (A) all reasonable fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers (limited in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable

(ii) The Borrower shall pay or reimburse (A) all reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent and its internal and third-party auditors, the Appraisers and consultants incurred in connection with the Administrative Agent’s (a) periodic field examinations and appraisals and (b) other monitoring of assets as allowed hereunder and (B) all reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of the Issuing Lenders in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand or any payment thereunder.
(iii) All payments or reimbursements pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a)(i) and (ii) shall be paid within thirty (30) days of written demand together with back-up documentation supporting such reimbursement request.

116
by final and nonappealable judgment to (x) have resulted from the material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents or the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) arise from disputes solely among the Indemnitees (other than any dispute involving claims against any Person in its capacity as an Agent or similar role hereunder) that do not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.04, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such portion of the unpaid amount equal to such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender in its capacity as such.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall, to the extent permitted by law, be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.05. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
117
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 10.06. No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
SECTION 10.07. Extension of Maturity. Should any payment of principal of or interest or any other amount due hereunder become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension.
SECTION 10.08. Amendments, etc.
(a) No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document (other than the Account Control Agreements), and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or signed by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment shall without the prior written consent of:
(i) each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender or extend the termination date of the Commitment of any Lender (it being understood that a waiver of an Event of Default shall not constitute an increase in or extension of the termination date of the Commitment of a Lender), or (B) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, any reimbursement obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit, or the rate of interest payable thereon (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary for a waiver of default interest referred to in Section 2.08), or extend any date for the payment of principal, interest or Fees hereunder or reduce any Fees payable hereunder or extend the final maturity of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder or (C) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.17(b) or (e);
(ii) all of the Lenders (A) amend or modify any provision of this Agreement which provides for the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders, (B) amend this Section 10.08 that has the effect of changing the number or percentage of Lenders that must approve any modification, amendment, waiver or consent or modify the percentage of the Lenders required in the definition of Required Lenders or (C) release all or substantially all of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent contemplated by Section 6.06(c) on the date hereof), or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantors;
(iii) the Required Revolving Lenders in addition to the Required Lenders to change the definition of the term “Required Revolving Lenders” or the percentage of Lenders which shall be required for Revolving Lenders to take any action hereunder; and
118
(iv) the Required Term Lenders in addition to the Required Lenders, change the definition of the term “Required Term Lenders” or the percentage of Lenders which shall be required for Term Lenders to take any action hereunder;
provided further, that (x) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of one Class of Lenders (but not of any other Class of Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time (provided that no such waiver, amendment or modification shall, without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (1) increase the “effective yield” (taking into account interest rate margin and benchmark floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount) applicable to the Term Loans, (2) shorten the Weighted Average Life to Maturity with respect to the Term Loans or (3) result in an earlier final maturity date with respect to the Term Loans) and (y) any Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified with the consent of the applicable Grantor and the Administrative Agent (i) to add assets (or categories of assets) to the Collateral covered by such Collateral Document, as contemplated by clause (c) of the definition of Additional Collateral set forth in Section 1.01 hereof or (ii) to remove any asset or type or category of asset (including after-acquired assets of that type or category) from the Collateral covered by such Collateral Document to the extent the release thereof is permitted by Section 6.06(c).
(b) No such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender hereunder without its prior written consent.
(c) No notice to or demand on the Borrower or any Guarantor shall entitle the Borrower or any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each assignee under Section 10.02(b) shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver, or consent authorized as provided herein, and any consent by a Lender shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring an interest on the Loans held by such Lender. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective against the Borrower or any Guarantor unless signed by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.08(a), (i) in the event that the Borrower requests that this Agreement be modified or amended in a manner which would require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders or the consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (including as contemplated in Section 2.13(d)) and, in each case, such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may replace any non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 10.02; provided that such amendment or modification can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant to this clause (i)); (ii) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders), (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Extension Amendment effected in accordance with Section 2.29 may be made without the consent of the Required Lenders and (iv) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment
119
shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof to the Lenders.
(e) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.08(a), this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (x) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all outstanding Term Loans of any tranche (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of Required Lenders or Required Term Lenders, as applicable; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (ii) the Applicable Margins for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margins for such Refinanced Term Loans, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans) and (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.
(f) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.08(a), with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower and the lenders providing the relevant Refinancing Facility, this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, may be amended as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, (x) to permit the creation hereunder of any such Refinancing Facility and the incurrence of the related Refinancing Debt (any such amendment, a “Refinancing Amendment”) and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders and/or Required Term Lenders, as applicable. The effectiveness of (and, in the case of any Refinancing Term Facility, the borrowing under) any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to the making or borrowing of Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Refinancing Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree.
(g) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.08(a), this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders and/or Required Term Lenders, as applicable.
120
SECTION 10.09. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 10.10. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience only and are not to affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
SECTION 10.11. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.04 and Section 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 10.12. Execution in Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic .pdf copy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.13. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower and each Guarantor that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and each Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and each Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and each Guarantor in accordance with the Patriot Act.
SECTION 10.14. Registrations with International Registry. Each of the parties hereto (i) consents to the registrations with the International Registry of the International Interest constituted by the Aircraft Mortgage, and (ii) covenants and agrees that it will take all such action reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent in order to make any registrations with the International Registry, including without limitation establishing a valid and existing account with the International Registry and
appointing an Administrator and/or a Professional User reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to make registrations with respect to the Collateral and providing consents to any registration as may be contemplated by the Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 10.16. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise related to the Transactions will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other hand. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, affiliates, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
SECTION 10.17. Designated Hedging Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide, at the time any such payment is due, such funds or other support as may be needed by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under the Guarantee made by it in Section 9 hereof in respect of Designated Hedging Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.17 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.17, or otherwise under Section 9, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.17 shall remain in full force and effect until performance in full of all Designated Hedging Obligations entered into before all other Obligations are paid in full to
122
the Lenders, the Agents and all other Secured Parties, and all of the Lenders’ Commitments are terminated. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.17 constitute, and this Section 10.17 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
SECTION 10.18. Intercreditor Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent shall enter into any intercreditor agreement pursuant to and as permitted by the terms of this Agreement (any such intercreditor agreement, an “Intercreditor Agreement”) and such Intercreditor Agreement shall remain outstanding, the rights granted to the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and such Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to any right or remedy, and no right, power or remedy granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent, and no direction shall be given by the Administrative Agent, in contravention of such Intercreditor Agreement.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (d), each Applicable Grantor shall continue to collect in accordance with its customary practice, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor under its Accounts and, prior to the request of the Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall have the right to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account, or release wholly or partly any Account Debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon, all in accordance with its customary practices. In connection with such collections, the Grantors may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, take (and at the direction of the Administrative Agent shall take) such action as the Grantors or the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Accounts; provided, that upon written notice by the Administrative Agent to any Applicable Grantor, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, of its intention so to do, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to notify the Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts included in the Collateral of the assignment of such Accounts to the Administrative Agent and to direct such Account Debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Applicable Grantor thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Accounts, and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done until such Event of Default is cured or waived.

7
warranties hereunder shall be true and correct in all material respects with respect to such Collateral within 30 days after the date it has been notified by the Administrative Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral.

(d) In the event that the Borrower or any other Grantor wishes to cause additional properties or assets of a type otherwise subject to this Agreement to become Collateral, it shall execute and deliver a Supplement with respect to such properties or assets. Upon the execution and delivery of any such Supplement and the taking of any other action required by Section 5.14(b) of the Credit Agreement with respect thereto, the properties or assets subject thereto shall constitute Collateral for all purposes under this Agreement.
SECTION 4.05. Verification. The Administrative Agent and such Persons as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate shall have the right, at the Grantors’ own cost and expense, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to contact Account Debtors with respect to any Accounts included in the Collateral for the purpose of verifying such Accounts.

POWER OF ATTORNEY
POWER OF ATTORNEY
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (which appointment shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest subject to the terms of this Agreement), and in such capacity the Administrative Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for each Grantor and in each Grantor’s name or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the

The provisions of this Article shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to proceed in any particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any other or further right which they may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by law or otherwise.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
REMEDIES
SECTION 6.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times: (a) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon written request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of its Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties; (b) without assuming any obligations or liability thereunder, enforce (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to so enforce) all rights and remedies of the Grantors against any licensee or sublicensee in, to and under any license agreements with respect to the Collateral, and take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and each of the Grantors hereby releases the Administrative Agent from, and agrees to hold the Administrative Agent free and harmless from and against any claims arising out of, any action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to any such license agreement except claims involving gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Administrative Agent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; and (c) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and, without liability for trespass, to enter any premises owned by a Grantor or any Subsidiary of any Grantor where
9
the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, on any securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of any such sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) business days’ notice to the applicable Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral shall constitute reasonable notification. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication (except that each Grantor shall receive any notice required pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph), adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, any Lender may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the fullest extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any Obligation then due and payable to such Lender from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Lender may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations Payment Date shall have occurred. As an alternative to exercising the
10
power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose on this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
SECTION 6.02. Application of Proceeds. Upon an Event of Default, each Grantor further agrees that the Administrative Agent may apply any proceeds from the disposition of any of its Collateral in accordance with Section 2.17(b) of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any such disposition are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 6.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. Solely to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under this Article during the continuation of an Event of Default (and to the extent the Administrative Agent shall otherwise be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies), each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Grantor, subject to applicable law, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

SECTION 7.03. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Grantor herein and in any certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered

Upon delivery of any such Joinder to the Administrative Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by the Grantors, each such Additional Grantor shall be deemed a Grantor hereunder and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be discharged, diminished or otherwise affected (a) by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, (b) any failure by the Borrower or any other Grantor to cause any Subsidiary of the Borrower to become an Additional Grantor or a Grantor hereunder or (c) by reason of the Administrative Agent’s or any of the other Secured Parties’ actions in effecting, or failure to effect, any such Joinder, or in releasing any Grantor hereunder, in each case without the necessity of giving notice to or obtaining the consent of any other Grantor. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 7.06. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower is entering into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the direct and indirect Domestic Subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time party thereto, the Administrative Agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”); and
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to induce the Lenders to make the Loans and to issue (or participate in) Letters of Credit as provided for in the Credit Agreement, and to secure the Pledgors’ obligations under the Credit Agreement, Pledgors have agreed to grant a continuing lien on the Collateral (as defined below) to secure the Obligations (as defined below);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the guaranty set forth in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors have agreed to guarantee the payment in full of all the Borrower Obligations (as defined below); and
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the making of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit that each Pledgor shall have granted a security interest in, pledge of and lien on the Collateral as security for its Obligations; and
WHEREAS, the Pledgors desire to execute this Agreement to satisfy the condition described in the preceding paragraphs;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits accruing to the Pledgors, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged; each Pledgor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent and hereby covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent as follows:
EXHIBIT C
Section 1. PLEDGE. Each Pledgor hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent and grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in all of the following (collectively, but subject to the proviso to this Section 1, the “Collateral”), to secure all of its Obligations:
(i) all of the right, title and interest of such Pledgor in, to and under each and every Primary Route, Primary FAA Slot, Primary Foreign Slot and Primary Gate Interest, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising from time to time (including any renewals of any existing Primary Routes listed on Schedule I); and
(ii) all Proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (including, without, limitation, all Proceeds (of any kind) received or to be received by such Pledgor upon the transfer or other such disposition of such Collateral notwithstanding whether the pledge and grant of the security interest in such Collateral is legally effective under applicable law);
provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in (x) any Primary Gate Interests or Specified Primary FAA Slots (and no such property shall be “Collateral” for purposes of this Agreement) to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any applicable law or a Governmental Authority or Airport Authority, requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority or Airport Authority, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to the applicable Pledgor’s interest in such Primary Gate Interests or Specified Primary FAA Slots, except to the extent that such applicable law, requirement or prohibition by any Governmental Authority or Airport Authority, or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document or shareholder or similar agreement providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law, including without limitation, the UCC or (y) any Excluded Property.
Section 2. SECURITY FOR OBLIGATIONS. The pledges and security interests granted by each Pledgor in its Collateral hereunder secure such Pledgor’s Obligations.
Section 3. NO RELEASE. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Collateral or from any liability to any Person under or in respect of any of the Collateral or impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be so performed or observed or impose any liability on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of such Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Pledgor contained in this Agreement, or in respect of the Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. This Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Pledgors’ other obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
2
Section 4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) All filings, registrations and recordings necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to create, preserve, protect and perfect the security interests granted by such Pledgor to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereby in respect of its Collateral have been accomplished by such Pledgor to the extent that such security interests can be perfected under the UCC and Title 49. The security interests granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement in and to its Collateral constitute and hereafter will constitute perfected security interests therein superior and prior to the rights of all other Persons therein (but subject, however, to (i) the authority of the DOT and any Foreign Aviation Authority or any Airport Authority to amend or withdraw Primary Routes and/or the authority of the FAA to withdraw Primary FAA Slots pursuant to Title 49 and Title 14, the rights of other applicable Governmental Authorities, Airport Authorities or Foreign Aviation Authorities with respect to Primary Routes and Primary Foreign Slots, and the rights of the lessor, sub-lessor or other Person providing any Pledgor (or to which the Pledgor provides) the authority to occupy and/or use the Primary Gate Interests) and (ii) other Specified Permitted Collateral Liens), to the extent such perfection and priority can be obtained under the UCC or by filing a record of such security interest with the FAA, and the Administrative Agent is entitled to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded to perfected security interests by the UCC, as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction, and Title 49. Nothing herein shall be construed to require the Pledgors to record any memoranda of lease or similar instruments with respect to Primary Gate Interests.
(b) Such Pledgor is, and as to Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof such Pledgor will be, the holder of all of its Collateral free from any Lien (other than Permitted Collateral Liens and subject to the regulatory authority of the DOT and the FAA under Title 49 and the regulatory authority of Foreign Aviation Authorities under applicable law). Subject to the preceding sentence, each Pledgor shall defend the Collateral against any and all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party.
(c) There is no financing statement (or, to any Pledgor’s knowledge, similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction intended to provide notice of a Lien) on the date hereof covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in any of its Collateral, except with respect to Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement.
(d) The chief executive office of each Pledgor is located at the address listed opposite such Pledgor’s name on Schedule IV hereto, which schedule may be updated from time to time. Such Pledgor shall provide prompt written notice (and in any event, within the earlier of (x) 30 days of the relevant change and (y) 30 days prior to the date on which the perfection of the applicable liens granted hereunder would lapse by reason of such change) to the Administrative Agent of any change (i) in its name or type of organization, (ii) in its jurisdiction of organization or (iii) in the location of its chief executive office. Upon any change referred to in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent is authorized to make all filings under the UCC or otherwise that are required in order for the Administrative Agent to continue at all times following such change to have valid, legal and perfected security interests (subject to Liens permitted by the Loan Documents) in all the Collateral.
(e) Set forth on Schedule II is a true, correct and complete list of each Pledgor’s FAA Slots that are, as of the date hereof, included in the Collateral. Except for matters that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or a Collateral Material Adverse Effect, each
3
Pledgor represents and warrants that (A) it holds each of its Primary FAA Slots pursuant to authority granted by the FAA, other applicable Governmental Authority or Airport Authority, pursuant to Title 14 or Title 49, as the case may be, or other applicable law and (B) there exists no violation of such terms, conditions, limitations or law that gives the FAA, DOT, other applicable Governmental Authority or Airport Authority the right to terminate, cancel, suspend, withdraw or modify, in any materially adverse respect, the rights of such Pledgor in any of its Primary FAA Slots.
(f) Except for matters that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or a Collateral Material Adverse Effect, each Pledgor represents and warrants that (A) it holds the requisite authority and holds each of its Primary Foreign Slots pursuant to authority granted by the applicable Foreign Aviation Authorities and (B) there exists no violation of such terms, conditions, limitations or foreign law that gives any Foreign Aviation Authority the right to terminate, cancel, suspend, withdraw or modify the rights of such Pledgor in any of its Primary Foreign Slots.
(g) Except for matters that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or a Collateral Material Adverse Effect, each Pledgor represents and warrants that (A) it holds its Primary Gate Interests pursuant to authority granted by the applicable Governmental Authority or Airport Authority, and (B) no violation by such Pledgor of any terms, conditions, or limitations of any rule or regulation of the applicable Governmental Authority or Airport Authority regarding any such Primary Gate Interests or of any applicable provision of law has occurred and is continuing that would give any Governmental Authority or Airport Authority the right to terminate, cancel, suspend, withdraw or modify in any materially adverse respect the rights of such Pledgor in any such Primary Gate Interests.
(h) Set forth on Schedule I is a true, correct and complete list of each Pledgor’s Routes that are, as of the date hereof, included in the Collateral.
(i) Such Pledgor further represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, none of the airports located in the United States of America at which such Pledgor conducts scheduled operations for direct non-stop flights using any Primary Route, other than DCA, LGA or JFK, is a slot-constrained airport. If any of the airports located in the United States of America at which such Pledgor conducts scheduled operations for direct non-stop flights to destinations using any Primary Route, other than DCA, LGA or JFK, is or becomes a slot-constrained airport after the Closing Date, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof.

(iii) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, the Administrative Agent may use the blank, undated, signed Primary FAA Slot transfer documents held in escrow from time to time (substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto) as a means to effectuate a transfer as contemplated herein, subject in each case to applicable law.

All cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies as a secured creditor as provided in Section 10 of this Agreement shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for, and then at any time thereafter shall, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be applied, in whole or in part, against all or any part of the Obligations in such order as provided for in Section 2.17(b) of the Credit Agreement. Any surplus of such cash proceeds held by the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be promptly paid over to the Pledgors or to whomever may be at such time lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. Each Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any such sale, collection or other realization are insufficient to pay its Obligations and fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
Section 12. NO WAIVER; DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDING.
(a) Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Administrative Agent or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Administrative Agent.

No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. No notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Administrative Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees in accordance with Section 13 hereof, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent shall enter into any Intercreditor Agreement and such Intercreditor Agreement shall remain outstanding, the rights granted to the Secured Parties hereunder, the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and such Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to any right or remedy, and no right, power or remedy granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent, and no direction shall be given by the Administrative Agent, in contravention of such Intercreditor Agreement.

provided that the rights of any lessee or other transferee covered by the preceding clauses (i) through (ix) who receives possession of any Aircraft, any Airframe, any Engine, Spare Engine or Pledged Spare Part by reason of a transfer permitted by this Section 2.01(a) (other than the transfer of an Engine or Spare Engine which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to, and any Permitted Lease shall be made expressly subject and subordinate to, all the terms of this Mortgage, including the Administrative Agent’s rights to repossess pursuant to Section 4.02 and to avoid such lease upon such repossession, and Grantors shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance and observance of all of the terms and conditions of this Mortgage, to the same extent as if such lease or transfer had not occurred, any such lease shall include appropriate provisions for the maintenance and insurance of any such Aircraft, Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, and no lease or transfer of possession otherwise in compliance with this Section 2.01 shall (x) result in any registration or re-registration of any Aircraft except to the extent permitted in Section 2.01(e) or the maintenance, operation or use thereof that does not comply with Section 2.01(b) and (c) or the registration of any subordination in favor of the Permitted Lessee or in respect of other transfers in the International Registry, or (y) permit any action not permitted to be taken by Grantors with respect to any Aircraft hereunder.
Grantors shall provide the Administrative Agent a copy of each Permitted Lease which has a term of more than one year promptly after execution thereof. In addition, in furtherance of the Granting Clause, the applicable Grantor shall expressly assign to the Administrative Agent in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and take all further actions in order to create, grant, establish, preserve, protect and perfect the validity, perfection and priority of the Liens and security interests created or intended to be created by this Mortgage), as part of the Collateral, such Grantor’s rights, but not its obligations, under any such Permitted Lease with a term of more than one year (provided that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, such Grantor shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies with respect to such Permitted Lease). In connection with the foregoing assignment, such Grantor shall deliver any chattel paper originals of any Permitted Lease having a term in excess of one year to the Administrative Agent and at Grantor’s request if the lessee is situated in (or the applicable Airframe is registered in) a Contracting State cause such Permitted Lease to be registered as an International Interest against the relevant airframe and engines on the International Registry and assigned to Administrative Agent.
No Permitted Lease shall be entered into unless Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of their respective reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection therewith and with any collateral assignment thereof.
The Administrative Agent agrees, for the benefit of Grantors (and any Permitted Lessee) and for the benefit of the lessor or secured party of any airframe or engine leased to a Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) or purchased or owned by a Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, that the Administrative Agent will not acquire or claim, as against Grantors (or any Permitted Lessee) or such lessor or secured party, any right, title or interest in: (A) any engine or engines owned by such Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) or by the lessor under such lease or subject to a security interest in favor of the secured party
17
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
under such conditional sale or other security agreement as the result of such engine or engines being installed on any Airframe, or (B) any airframe owned by such Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) or by the lessor under such lease or subject to a security interest in favor of the secured party under such conditional sale or other security agreement as the result of any Engine or Spare Engine being installed on such airframe.
The Administrative Agent acknowledges that any Wet Lease or other similar arrangement under which a Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) maintains operational control of an Aircraft does not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession for purposes of this Section 2.01(a).
(b) Operation and Use. Grantors agree that no Aircraft, Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine will be maintained, used or operated in violation of any law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority of any country having jurisdiction over such Aircraft, Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration relating to such Aircraft issued by any such Governmental Authority, except for unanticipated, minor or non-recurring violations, and except to the extent a Grantor (or, if a Lease is then in effect with respect to such Aircraft, any Permitted Lessee) of such Aircraft is contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such law, rule or regulation in any manner that does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of such Aircraft, Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine or any material risk of subjecting the Administrative Agent or any Lender to criminal liability or materially impair the Lien of this Mortgage; provided that, Grantors shall not be in default under, or required to take any action set forth in, this sentence if it is not possible for them to comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (and other than any jurisdiction in which such Aircraft is then registered) because of a conflict with the applicable laws of the United States (and such jurisdiction in which such Aircraft is then registered); provided, further, that a Grantor shall only be entitled to contest mandatory grounding orders if it does not operate such Aircraft or Spare Engine during such contest. Grantors will not operate any Aircraft, Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine or permit any Aircraft, Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine to be operated or located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 2.03 or (ii) in any war zone or recognized or, in the applicable Grantor’s reasonable judgment, threatened areas of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance in accordance with Section 2.03, unless in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), indemnification complying with Section 2.03(g) has been provided; provided, however, that Grantors’ failure to comply with the provisions of this sentence shall not give rise to an Event of Default hereunder where such failure is attributable to causes beyond the control of Grantors (or any Permitted Lessee) or to extraordinary circumstances involving an isolated occurrence or isolated series of occurrences attributable to a hijacking, medical emergency, equipment malfunction, weather conditions, navigational error or other similar unforeseen circumstances.
(c) Maintenance. Grantors shall maintain, service, repair and overhaul each Aircraft, Airframe, Engine and Spare Engine (or cause the same to be done) so as to keep each Aircraft, Airframe, Engine and Spare Engine in good operating condition and in such condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of each Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times (other than during temporary periods of storage, during maintenance,
18
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
testing or modification permitted hereunder, or during periods of grounding by applicable Governmental Authorities, unless such grounding is due to the failure by Grantors to maintain such Aircraft in accordance with the terms hereof) under Title 49, during such periods in which such Aircraft is registered under the laws of the United States, or, if such Aircraft is registered under the laws of any other jurisdiction, the applicable laws of such jurisdiction, using the same standards as Grantors (or a Permitted Lessee of such Aircraft, if a Lease is in effect with respect to such Aircraft) uses with respect to similar aircraft operated by Grantors (or such Permitted Lessee) in similar circumstances. In any case, each Aircraft, Airframe, Engine, Spare Engine and Pledged Spare Part will be maintained in accordance with the maintenance standards required by the FAA (while operated under an FAA-approved maintenance program) or, while operated under the maintenance program of another jurisdiction, standards substantially equivalent to those required by the central aviation authority of the United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom. Each Grantor shall maintain or cause to be maintained all records, logs and other documents required to be maintained in respect of each of its Aircraft and Spare Engines by appropriate authorities in the jurisdiction in which such Aircraft is registered.
(d) Identification of the Administrative Agent’s Interest.
(i) Grantors agree to affix as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date and thereafter to maintain in the cockpit of each Aircraft, in a clearly visible location, and (if not prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any government) on each Engine and Spare Engine a nameplate bearing the inscription “MORTGAGED TO JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT” (such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor Administrative Agent).
(ii) On or prior to the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter, the Grantors shall install signs, in size and form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, at each of the Designated Spare Parts Locations in which the Pledged Spare Parts are stored and otherwise as may be directed by the Administrative Agent within each Designated Spare Parts Location, bearing the inscription: “MORTGAGED TO JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT” (such sign to be replaced if there is a successor Administrative Agent).
(e) Registration. The applicable Grantors shall cause each Aircraft to remain duly registered, under the laws of the United States, in the name of the applicable Grantor. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Grantors, at their own expense, may cause or allow such Aircraft to be duly registered under the laws of any country listed on Exhibit D (except as indicated therein) in the name of the appropriate Grantor or of any nominee thereof, or, if required by applicable law, in the name of any other Person (and, following any such foreign registration, may cause such Aircraft to be re-registered under the laws of the United States); provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received, at least two Business Days prior to the time of such non-US registration (provided that such document can be furnished less than
19
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
two Business Days prior to such time if the Administrative Agent received a draft of such document no later than two Business Days prior to such time), one or more Opinions of Counsel, expert in the laws of the United States and such other jurisdiction, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, subject to exceptions, assumptions and limitations customary in such jurisdiction and of a nature customarily accepted by aircraft financiers making loans to entities in such jurisdiction, to the effect that:
(1) such jurisdiction maintains normal diplomatic relations with the United States (except, in the case of Taiwan);
(2) such re-registration will not adversely affect the Administrative Agent’s first priority and perfected Lien on such Aircraft (and Grantors shall, at their expense, to the extent legally permitted, cause the interest of the Administrative Agent as secured party in respect of such Aircraft to be duly registered or recorded under the laws of such jurisdiction and the International Interests of the Administrative Agent in such Airframe and Engines to be duly registered in the International Registry, and at all times thereafter to remain so duly registered or recorded unless and until the registration of such Aircraft is changed as provided herein, and shall cause to be done at all times all other acts necessary or, by reference to prudent industry practice in such jurisdiction and under the Cape Town Treaty, advisable in order to create, preserve and protect such interests in such Aircraft, and the priority thereof, as against a Grantor or any third parties), and the laws of such jurisdiction would provide the Administrative Agent with protections of its interest in and to such Aircraft substantially equivalent to the protections afforded to the holder or a first priority security interest under the UCC;
(3) the obligations of Grantors under this Mortgage shall remain valid, binding and enforceable to the same extent as before such registration, and such re-registration shall not create any disability or adverse effect to the existence or enforceability of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents;
(4) any import or export permits necessary to take such Aircraft into such jurisdiction and any exchange permits necessary to allow all payments provided for under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall be in full force and effect;
(5) there are no possessory rights in favor of a Grantor or any Permitted Lessee which would, upon bankruptcy or other default by a Grantor or any Permitted Lessee, prevent the return of such Aircraft to the Administrative Agent in accordance with and when permitted by the terms of the Mortgage upon the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies thereunder, or, if such possessory rights exist, they are not materially greater than those available to owners and lessees under United States law and there are no procedural impediments to the return of such Aircraft to the Administrative Agent materially greater than under
20
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
United States law, and upon termination of any lease, registration shall be terminable without material burden or delay;
(6) there is no strict liability imposed on passive lenders, except such tort liability not of materially greater scope or magnitude than might be imposed on such passive lender under the prevailing law among the states of the United States, and except liabilities that Grantors or a Permitted Lessee has agreed to insure against in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(7) that it is not necessary by reason of such re-registration or for purposes of enforcing remedies contained herein or in any Lease, for the Administrative Agent or any Lender to register or qualify to do business in such jurisdiction;
(8) no Liens (other than Permitted Collateral Liens) shall arise by reason of such re-registration;
(9) (unless Grantors shall have agreed to provide insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent covering the risk of requisition of use of such Aircraft by the government of such jurisdiction so long as such Aircraft is registered under the laws of such jurisdiction) the laws of such jurisdiction require fair compensation by the government of such jurisdiction, payable in currency freely convertible into Dollars, for the loss of use of such Aircraft in the event of requisition by such government of such use; and
(10) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be subjected to any adverse tax consequences as a result of such re-registration for which Grantors are not required to indemnify such Person, unless Grantors have agreed to indemnify such Person therefor.
The Administrative Agent will cooperate with Grantors in effecting such foreign registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any such change in the country of registry of any Aircraft, the following conditions shall be met (unless waived as provided in Section 10.08 of the Credit Agreement):
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the effective date of the change in registration or occurs as a result of such change in registration; provided that it shall not be necessary to comply with this condition if the change in registration results in the registration of such Aircraft under the laws of the United States;
(ii) all insurance provided for in this Mortgage shall be in full force and effect, before, at the time of, and after such change in registration, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of Grantors’ or a Permitted Lessee’s insurance broker to such effect;
21
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
(iii) such country imposes, or Grantors shall agree to cause such Aircraft to be maintained in accordance with, aircraft maintenance standards approved by, or which are substantially equivalent to those required by, the civil aviation authority of the United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom;
(iv) all action shall be taken as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary to insure that all insurance and indemnities provided for in the Loan Documents shall be in full force and effect at the time of and following such re-registration; and
(v) Grantors pay all fees, Taxes, expenses and other charges relating to such re-registration (including those of each Lender).
(f) Substitution of Airframes and Engines. Each Grantor may at any time, at no cost to the Administrative Agent, on at least ten (10) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, replace any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine subjected to the Lien hereof by causing an airframe or engine to be substituted for such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(b) hereof, as the case may be, to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine.
Section 2.02 Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications and Additions.
(a) Replacement of Parts. Grantors, at their own cost and expense, will promptly replace or cause to be replaced all Parts which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(c). In addition, a Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) may remove in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Part, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently unfit for use; provided that such Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee), except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(c), replaces such Part as promptly as practicable. All replacement Parts shall be owned by a Grantor free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Collateral Liens, pooling arrangements permitted by Section 2.02(b) hereof and replacement parts temporarily installed on an emergency basis) and shall be in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof. All Parts at any time removed from any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine shall remain the property of a Grantor and subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified herein. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the applicable Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, without further act (subject only to Permitted Collateral Liens and any pooling arrangement permitted by Section 2.02(b) hereof and except replacement parts temporarily installed on an emergency basis), such replacement Part shall become the property of a Grantor and subject to the Lien of this Mortgage and be deemed a Part
22
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine and the replaced Part, without further act, shall be free and clear of all rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder and shall no longer be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage. Upon request of a Grantor from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to such Grantor an appropriate instrument confirming the release of any such replaced Part from the Lien of this Mortgage.
(b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine as provided in Section 2.02(a) hereof may be subjected by a Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) to a pooling arrangement entered into in the ordinary course of such Grantor’s business; provided, that the Part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine in accordance with Section 2.01(a) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part. In addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to an Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine in accordance with such Sections may be owned by any third Party subject to such a pooling arrangement, provided, that such Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee), at its expense, as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i) causes such replacement Part to become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Collateral Liens or (ii) replaces or causes to be replaced such replacement Part with a further replacement Part owned by a Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) which shall become the property of a Grantor and subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Collateral Liens.
(c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions(d) . Grantors, at their own expense, will make (or cause to be made) such alterations and modifications in and additions to each Airframe, Engine and Spare Engine as may be required to be made from time to time so as to comply with any law, rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority of any jurisdiction in which an Aircraft may then be registered or any Spare Engine may be located; provided, however, that a Grantor or any Permitted Lessee may, in good faith, and by appropriate proceedings contest the validity or application of any such law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner that does not subject any such Person to material risk of any civil or any criminal penalties, or involve any material risk of loss or forfeiture of title to any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine. In addition, each Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee), at its own expense, may from time to time add further parts or accessories and make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine as a Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including removal (without replacement) of Parts which a Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) deems to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine (such parts, “Obsolete Parts”); provided that no such alteration, modification, removal or addition materially diminishes the fair market value or utility of such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine below the fair market value or utility thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification, removal or addition assuming such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine was then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Mortgage. In addition, the fair market value (but not the utility) of an Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine may be reduced by the fair market value, if any, of Obsolete Parts which shall have been removed so long as the
23
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
aggregate fair market value of all Obsolete Parts which shall have been removed and not replaced with respect to any Aircraft shall not exceed $500,000 in the aggregate. All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to an Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition (except those parts which are excluded from the definition of Parts or which may be removed by a Grantor pursuant to the next sentence) (the “Additional Parts”) shall, without further act, become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) may, at its own expense, remove or suffer to be removed any Additional Part, provided that such Additional Part (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine or any Part in replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (c) and (iii) can be removed from such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine without diminishing the value or utility of such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine which such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine would have had had such Part never been installed on such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, assuming that such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine was in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. Upon the removal thereof as provided above, such Part shall no longer be deemed to be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage or part of such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine from which it was removed. Upon request of a Grantor from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to such Grantor an appropriate instrument confirming the release of any such removed Part from the Lien of this Mortgage.
Section 2.03 Insurance.
(a) Aircraft Liability Insurance.
(i) Except as provided in paragraph (ii) of this Section 2.03(a) and subject to the rights of Grantors to establish and maintain self-insurance in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.03(f) below, Grantors will carry, or cause to be carried, at no expense to the Administrative Agent, aircraft liability insurance (including, but not limited to, passenger, contractual, bodily injury, personal injury, property damage and products liability (exclusive of manufacturer’s product liability insurance), and including without limitation, war risk, hijacking and allied perils insurance, if and to the extent, in the case of war risk, hijacking and allied perils insurance, any Aircraft or Spare Engine is being operated in any war zone or recognized or, in the applicable Grantor’s judgment, threatened areas of hostilities or war risk, hijacking and allied perils insurance is otherwise maintained by a Grantor (or, if a Permitted Lease in respect of any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine is then in effect, by Permitted Lessee) with respect to other similar aircraft and engines operated by such Grantor or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, on the same or similar routes) with respect to each Aircraft or Spare Engine that is of the type as from time to time applicable to aircraft and engines operated by such Grantor (or, if a Permitted Lease in respect of such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such Aircraft or Spare Engine (A) in amounts that are not less than the aircraft liability insurance applicable to similar
24
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
aircraft and engines in such Grantor’s fleet on which Grantor carries insurance; provided that such liability insurance shall not be less than the Minimum Liability Insurance Amount, and (B) that is maintained in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility. Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section 2.03(a) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies shall:
(1) name the Additional Insureds, as their Interests (as defined below) may appear, as additional insureds;
(2) subject to the conditions of clause (3) below, provide that, in respect of the interest of each Additional Insured in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of a Grantor, any Permitted Lessee, or any other Person (other than such Additional Insured or a Governmental Authority) and shall insure each Additional Insured’s Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation by a Grantor, any Permitted Lessee, or any other Person (other than such Additional Insured or a Governmental Authority) of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies;
(3) provide that, if such insurance is cancelled for any reason, or if any change is made in the insurance that materially reduces the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in the insurance report delivered on the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent or if such insurance is cancelled for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to any Additional Insured for 30 days (or seven days, or such other period as is then customary in the industry, in the case of any war risk, hijacking and allied perils coverage) after issuance to such Additional Insured of written notice from or on behalf of such insurers of such cancellation or change, provided that in the case of any war risk, hijacking and allied perils, liability insurance, if the same is directly or indirectly provided by the United States government, or any agency or regulatory body thereof, such notice shall be deemed delivered if published in the Federal Register;
(4) provide that the Additional Insureds shall have no obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance;
(5) provide that the insurers shall waive any rights of (x) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Additional Insureds to the extent of any moneys due to the Additional Insureds and (y) subrogation against the Additional Insureds to the extent that Grantors have waived their rights by their agreement to indemnify the Additional Insureds pursuant to the Loan Documents;
25
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
(6) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance carried by any Additional Insured with respect to its Interests as such in any Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine; and
(7) expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.
“Interests” as used in this Section 2.03(a) and in Section 2.03(b) below with respect to any Person means the interests of such Person in the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.
(ii) During any period that any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, as the case may be, is on the ground and not being flown, Grantors may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-flown Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 2.03(f) below, insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that: (A) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of airline liability insurance from time to time applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by a Grantor (or, if a Permitted Lease in respect of such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-flown Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine and that are on the ground and not being flown and (B) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time are applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by a Grantor (or, if a Permitted Lease in respect of such Aircraft is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such non-flown Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine and that are on the ground and not being flown.
(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage.
(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this Section 2.03(b), and subject to the rights of Grantors to establish and maintain self-insurance in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.03(f) below, Grantors shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no expense to the Administrative Agent, all-risk aircraft hull insurance covering each Aircraft and Spare Engine and all-risk coverage with respect to any Engine, Spare Engine or Part while removed from an Airframe or airframe (or Engine, Spare Engine or engine (in the case of a Part)) (including, without limitation, war risk, hijacking and allied perils insurance, if and to the extent the same is maintained by a Grantor (or, if a Permitted Lease in respect of such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) with respect to other similar aircraft and engines operated by such Grantor or such Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, on the same or similar routes or if such Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine is being operated in any war zone or recognized or, in the applicable Grantor’s judgment, threatened areas of hostilities), that is of the type as from time to time applicable to aircraft operated by such Grantor (or, if a Permitted Lease in respect of such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same
26
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
type as such Aircraft and Spare Engine; provided that such insurance (including the permitted self-insurance) in the case of such Aircraft and Spare Engine shall at all times while such Aircraft or Spare Engine is subject to this Mortgage be for an amount not less than the Insured Amount therefor. Any insurance amounts described in this clause (b)(i) which relate to the loss of an engine (other than an Engine or Spare Engine) shall be, if received by the Administrative Agent, paid over to the Person legally entitled thereto. Any policies carried in accordance with this Section 2.03(b) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies shall:
(1) provide that any insurance proceeds payable for any loss or damage, with respect to any Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be paid to the Administrative Agent (at such account and address as the Administrative Agent specifies) as follows: (a) if such insurance proceeds are in respect of an Event of Loss, or (b) if the insurer has received a notice from the Administrative Agent directing that such insurance proceeds shall be so paid to the Administrative Agent; otherwise all such insurance proceeds shall be payable to the applicable Grantor;
(2) subject to the conditions of clause (3) below, provide that, in respect of the interests of the Additional Insureds in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of a Grantor, any Permitted Lessee, or any other Person (other than such Additional Insured or a Governmental Authority) and shall insure the Additional Insureds’ Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation by a Grantor, any Permitted Lessee, or any other Person (other than such Additional Insured or a Governmental Authority) of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies;
(3) provide that if such insurance is cancelled for any reason, or if any change is made in the insurance that materially reduces the coverage (not including the amount if such amount exceeds the coverage required hereunder) certified in the insurance report delivered on the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent and each Lender or if such insurance is cancelled for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for 30 days (or seven days, or such other period as is then customary in the industry, in the case of war risk, hijacking or allied perils coverage) after issuance to the Additional Insureds of written notice from or on behalf of such insurers of such cancellation or change; provided that in the case of any war risk, hijacking and allied perils hull insurance, if the same is directly or indirectly provided by the United States government, or any agency or regulatory body thereof, such notice shall be deemed delivered if published in the Federal Register;
27
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
(4) provide that the Additional Insureds shall have no obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance;
(5) provide that the insurers shall waive rights of (x) setoff, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Additional Insureds to the extent of any moneys due to the Additional Insureds and (y) subrogation against the Additional Insureds to the extent that Grantors have waived their rights by their agreement to indemnify the Additional Insureds pursuant to the Loan Documents;
(6) if applicable, be primary without rights of contribution from any other insurance carried by any Additional Insured with respect to its Interests as such in any Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine; and

(D) upon request by the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall furnish the Administrative Agent with (1) upon recordation, an opinion of qualified FAA counsel, or if applicable, qualified counsel in the jurisdiction of the relevant Aircraft’s registration addressed to the Administrative Agent (in either case which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), as to (a) the due recordation of the Mortgage Supplement as a first priority Lien on the Replacement Engine, and the due registration of the International Interest of the Administrative Agent in such Replacement Engine as a first priority International Interest therein, stating that the Replacement Engine is free from Liens of record (except for or with respect to Permitted Collateral Liens) and of International Interests of record (other than with respect to any Pari Passu Senior Secured Debt and any Junior Secured Debt), and (2) such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 2.03 hereof with respect to such Replacement Engine as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request;

43
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
(ii), (x) such replaced Engine, any proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds) thereof, the Warranty Rights in respect of such replaced Engine and all rights relating to any of the foregoing shall be free and clear of the Lien of this Mortgage and of all rights and interests of the Administrative Agent (and the other beneficiaries hereof), (y) the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to such Grantor such appropriate instrument furnished to it by such Grantor releasing such replaced Engine, any proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds) thereof, the Warranty Rights in respect of such replaced Engine and all rights relating to any of the foregoing from the Lien of this Mortgage and assigning to such Grantor all claims against third Persons for damage to or loss of such replaced Engine arising from the Event of Loss and (z) the Administrative Agent will take such actions as may be required to be taken by the Administrative Agent to cancel or release any International Interest of the Administrative Agent registered with the International Registry in relation to such replaced Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred.

The applicable Grantor may use Net Cash Proceeds held by the Administrative Agent (including Net Cash Proceeds in the form of insurance proceeds paid directly by an insurer to the Administrative Agent as aforesaid) to, as soon as reasonably possible, replace the Pledged Spare Part which suffered such Event of Loss in accordance with this Section 3.01(c), but subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(a) and any other applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement. Upon such application of any Net Cash Proceeds, the applicable Grantor shall substitute spare part(s) (reasonably satisfactory to the Appraisers), free and clear of all Liens (other than Specified Permitted Collateral Liens and other Permitted Collateral Liens that are subordinated to the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder) and cause the same to be subjected to the Lien of this Mortgage.

REMEDIES
REMEDIES
Section 4.01 Event of Default. It shall be an Event of Default hereunder and for all purposes of the Cape Town Treaty, if under the Credit Agreement an “Event of Default” shall occur and be continuing thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Credit Agreement or in any other Loan Document, any failure of a Grantor to perform or observe any covenant contained in Article 2 hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if such failure arises by reason of an Event of Loss so long as such Grantor is continuing to comply with all of the terms of Article 3 hereof.

(a) Remedies Available. Upon (i) the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may do one or more of the following; provided, however, that during any period that an Aircraft is subject to the CRAF Program in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01(a)(iv) hereof and in possession of the United States government or an agency or instrumentality of the United States, the Administrative Agent shall not, on account of any Event of Default, be entitled to exercise any of the remedies specified in the following clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) in relation to such Aircraft in such manner as to limit a Grantor’s control (or any Permitted Lessee’s control under any Permitted Lease) under this Mortgage of the relevant Airframe, or any Engines or Spare Engines installed thereon, unless at least sixty (60) days’ (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under the Air Mobility Command program of the United States Air Force) written notice of default hereunder shall have been given by the Administrative Agent by registered or certified mail to Grantors (and any Permitted Lessee) with a copy addressed to the Contracting Office Representative for the Air Mobility Command of the United States Air Force under any contract with a Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) relating to such Aircraft:

[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
and remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise together with any engine which is not an Engine or Spare Engine but which is installed on an Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, or lien holder of or with respect to such engine;
(ii) sell all or any part of the Airframes, Engines, Spare Engines or other Collateral at public or private sale, whether or not the Administrative Agent shall at the time have possession thereof, as the Administrative Agent may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of the Airframes, the Engines, Spare Engines or other Collateral as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine, all free and clear of any rights or claims of whatsoever kind of any Grantor, any person claiming by, through or under any Grantor and any person holding an interest subordinate to the interests of the Administrative Agent hereunder; or
(iii) exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (A) as permitted by Article 15 of the Cape Town Convention, the provisions of Chapter III of the Cape Town Convention are hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except for those provisions of such Chapter III that cannot be derogated from; and (B) as permitted by Article IV(3) of the Aircraft Protocol, the provisions of Chapter II of the Aircraft Protocol are hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except for (x) Article XVI of the Aircraft Protocol and (y) those provisions of such Chapter II that cannot be derogated from, except, in each case, in the case of a lease by any Grantor to any foreign entity that is situated in a Contracting State (as defined in the Cape Town Treaty), the lease shall contain (and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise) the remedies of a lessor set forth in the Cape Town Treaty for the benefit of the lessor under such lease, to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ix). In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the exercise of remedies hereunder and the other Loan Documents is subject to other applicable law, including without limitation, the UCC and the Bankruptcy Code, and that nothing herein derogates from the rights of any Grantor or the Administrative Agent under or pursuant to such other applicable law, including without limitation, the UCC or the Bankruptcy Code.
Upon every taking of possession of Collateral under this Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, at the expense of the Grantors, make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to maintain, use, insure, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to carry on business and to exercise all rights and powers of each Grantor relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, insurance, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Administrative Agent may determine; and the
46
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products, proceeds and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Administrative Agent under any provision of this Mortgage to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Administrative Agent hereunder. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products, proceeds and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of using, operating, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacement, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the Administrative Agent may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof (including the employment of engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports upon the properties and books and records of a Grantor), and all other payments which the Administrative Agent may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Mortgage, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Administrative Agent, and of all Persons engaged and employed by the Administrative Agent.
In addition, Grantors shall be liable for all legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s remedies with respect thereto, including all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the retaking, return or sale of any Airframe, Engines, Spare Engines or other Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof under the UCC, which amounts shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Mortgage.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or the Loans shall have been declared forthwith due and payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent may at any time thereafter while any Event of Default shall be continuing, without notice of any kind to any Grantor (except as provided herein) to the extent permitted by law, carry out or enforce any one or more of the actions and remedies provided in this Article 4 or elsewhere in this Mortgage or otherwise available to a secured party under the UCC as in effect at the time in New York State, whether or not any or all of the Collateral is subject to the jurisdiction of such UCC and whether or not such remedies are referred to in this Article 4.
Nothing in the foregoing shall affect the right of each Secured Party to receive all payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations held by such Secured Party and all other amounts owing to such Secured Party as and when the same may be due.
(b) Notice of Sale. The Administrative Agent shall give each Grantor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date fixed for any public sale of any of its Airframes, Engines, Spare Engines, Pledged Spare Parts or other Collateral, or the date on or after which any private sale will be held, which notice each Grantor hereby agrees is reasonable notice.
(c) Receiver. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, to the extent permitted by law, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled, as a matter of right as against a Grantor, without notice or demand and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations or the solvency of any Grantor, upon the commencement of judicial proceedings by it to enforce any right under this Mortgage, to the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or
47
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
any part thereof and of the tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits thereof for the recovery of judgment for the indebtedness secured by the Lien created under this Mortgage or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable law.
(d) Concerning Sales. At any sale under this Article, any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, may make payment on account thereof as herein provided, free of any right of redemption, stay valuation or appraisal on the part of a Grantor (all said rights being hereby waived and released to the fullest extent permitted by law) and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor. Any purchaser shall be entitled, for the purpose of making payment for the property purchased, to deliver any of the Obligations in lieu of cash in the amount which shall be payable thereon as principal or interest. Said Obligations, in case the amount so payable to the holders thereof shall be less than the amounts due thereon, shall be returned to the holders thereof after being stamped or endorsed to show partial payment.
Section 4.03 Waiver of Appraisement, Etc. Each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent that it lawfully may, all right to have the property in the Collateral marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof, and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclosure under this Mortgage may order the sale of the Collateral as an entirety.
Section 4.04 Application of Proceeds. After the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, any payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of the Collateral, when received by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in the order set forth in and in accordance with Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement and any intercreditor agreements entered into by the Administrative Agent in respect of the Liens granted herein pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Section 4.05 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Administrative Agent or otherwise in this Mortgage shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given under this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute or treaty (including, without limitation, the Cape Town Treaty) and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Administrative Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. No notice to or demand on a Grantor in any case shall entitle it or any other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall bring any suit to
48
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Administrative Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.
Section 4.06 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Administrative Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, sale entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Administrative Agent, then and in every such case each Grantor, the Administrative Agent and each holder of any of the Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Administrative Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted (but otherwise without prejudice).

[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]

Section 6.11 General Indemnity.
(a) Claims Defined. For the purposes of this Section 6.11, “Claims” means any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs or expenses of whatsoever kind and nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort) that may be imposed on or asserted against an Indemnitee, as defined below, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.11, includes all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, disbursements and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by an Indemnitee in connection therewith or related thereto.

For the purposes of this Section 6.11: (1) “After-Tax Basis” means that indemnity and compensation payments required to be made will be supplemented by the Person paying the base amount by that amount which, when added to such base amount, and after deduction of all federal, state, local and foreign Taxes required to be paid by or on behalf of the payee with respect to the receipt or realization of any such amounts, and after consideration of any current tax savings of such payee resulting by way of any deduction, credit or other tax benefit attributable to such base amount or Tax, shall net such payee the full amount of such base amount; (2) “Administrative Agent Liens” means any Lien attributable to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or the Administrative Agent with respect to an Aircraft, Airframe, an Engine, a Spare Engine, a Pledged Spare Part, any interest therein or any other portion of the Collateral arising as a result of (i) claims against JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or the Administrative Agent not related to its interest in Aircraft, Airframe, an Engine, a Spare Engine, a Pledged Spare Part or the administration of the Collateral pursuant to this Mortgage, (ii) acts of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or the Administrative Agent not permitted by, or the failure of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or the Administrative Agent to take any action required by the Loan Documents, (iii) claims against JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or the Administrative Agent relating to Taxes or Claims that are excluded from the indemnification provided by Section 6.11 of this Mortgage or (iv) claims against JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or the Administrative Agent arising out of the transfer by any such party of all or any portion of its interest in the Aircraft, Airframe, an Engine, a Spare Engine, a Pledged Spare Part, other Collateral, the Loan
53
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
Documents, except while an Event of Default is continuing and prior to the time that the Administrative Agent has received all amounts due to it pursuant to the Loan Documents; and (3) “Lender Lien” means any Lien attributable to a Lender on or against an Aircraft, Airframe, Engine, Spare Engine, Pledged Spare Part, any interest therein or any other portion of the Collateral, arising out of any claims against such Person that are not related to the Loan Documents, or out of any act or omission of such Person that is not related to the transactions contemplated by, or that constitutes a breach by such Person of its obligations under, the Loan Documents. If any Indemnitee fails to comply with any duty or obligation under this Section 6.11 with respect to any Claim, such Indemnitee shall not be entitled to any indemnity with respect to such Claim under this Section 6.11 to the extent (x) such failure was prejudicial to such Grantor or (y) such Grantor’s indemnification obligations are increased as a result of such failure.
(c) Claims Indemnified. Subject to the exclusions stated in Subsection 6.11(d), each Grantor agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis each Indemnitee against Claims resulting from or arising out of (i) the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the operation, possession, use, maintenance, overhaul, testing or registration of the Aircraft, Airframes, Engines, Spare Engines and Pledged Spare Parts (including injury, death or property damage of passengers, shippers or others, and environmental control, noise and pollution regulations), and (iii) the manufacture, design, sale, purchase, acceptance, non-acceptance or rejection, delivery or condition of the Aircraft, Airframes, Engines, Spare Engines, Pledged Spare Parts or any Part or the ownership, possession, use, non-use, substitution, airworthiness, control, operation, storage, modification, alteration, lease, sublease, return, transfer or other disposition of any Aircraft, any Airframe, any Engine, any Spare Engine, any Pledged Spare Part or any Part (including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable, and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement) by a Grantor, any Permitted Lessee or any other Person.

(ii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is, or is attributable to, an Excepted Tax;
(iii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or attributable to negligence by such Indemnitee in exercising its right of inspection;
54
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
(iv) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to the material noncompliance with or material breach by such Indemnitee of any of the terms of, or any material misrepresentation by such Indemnitee contained in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document to which such Indemnitee is a party or any agreement relating hereto or thereto;
(v) any Claim to the extent such Claim constitutes a Lender Lien or Administrative Agent Lien attributable to such Indemnitee;
(vi) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to the offer, sale, assignment, transfer, participation or other disposition (whether voluntary or involuntary) by or on behalf of such Indemnitee (other than as a result of, or following, or in lieu of exercising remedies during the occurrence and continuance of, an Event of Default) of any Loan, all or any part of such Indemnitee’s interest in the Loan Documents or any interest in the Collateral or any similar security;
(vii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to a failure on the part of the Administrative Agent to distribute in accordance with this Mortgage any amounts received and distributable by it hereunder or thereunder;
(viii) any Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to the authorization or giving or withholding of any future amendments, supplements, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document, other than such as have been requested or consented to by a Grantor, or such as are expressly required or contemplated by the provisions of the Loan Documents; and
(ix) any Claim to the extent such Claim is payable or required to be borne by a Person other than the Grantors pursuant to any provision of any Loan Document.
(e) Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by a Grantor hereunder that is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by such Grantor, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate, at such Grantor’s expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend and compromise such Claim.
(f) Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Grantors of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought. Such Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Grantors all additional information in such Indemnitee’s possession to substantiate such Claim as the Grantors reasonably request. Subject to the rights of the Grantors’ insurers, the applicable Grantor may, at its sole cost and expense, investigate any Claim, and may in its sole discretion defend or compromise any Claim. The applicable Grantor shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, acting through counsel acceptable to the respective Indemnitee, (A) so long as such Grantor has agreed in a writing acceptable to such Indemnitee that such Grantor is liable to such Indemnitee for such Claim hereunder (unless such Claim is covered by Section 6.11(d)), in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim for one or more Claims, to assume responsibility for and control thereof, (B) so long as such Grantor has agreed in a writing
55
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
acceptable to such Indemnitee that such Grantor is liable to such Indemnitee for such Claim hereunder (unless such Claim is covered by Section 6.11(d)), in any judicial or administrative proceeding involving a claim for one or more Claims and other claims related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, to assume responsibility for and control of such claim for Claims to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and such Indemnitee shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such severance), and (C) in any other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the Grantors shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings (i) while an Event of Default exists, (ii) if such proceeding will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Collateral Lien) on any Aircraft, Airframe, Engine, Spare Engine, Pledged Spare Part, other Collateral or any part thereof, or (iii) if such proceeding could in the good faith opinion of such Indemnitee entail any material risk of criminal liability or present a conflict of interest making separate representation necessary, and, in any such proceeding, the Grantors shall be liable for the cost of such proceeding and (subject to the provisions of Section 6.11(d)) any Claim resulting therefrom. The affected Indemnitee may participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any judicial proceeding controlled by a Grantor pursuant to the preceding provisions. At the Grantors’ expense, any Indemnitee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Grantors in connection therewith. Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim without the prior written consent of the Grantors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Claim. Where a Grantor or its insurers undertake the defense of an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, no additional legal fees or expenses of such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Claim shall be indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at the written request of a Grantor or such insurers. Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance, an Indemnitee may participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by a Grantor pursuant to the preceding provisions; provided that such party’s participation does not, in the Opinion of Counsel appointed by a Grantor or its insurers to conduct such proceedings, interfere with such control. Such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Section 6.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Grantors shall not under any circumstances be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnitees with respect to any one Claim unless a conflict of interest shall exist among such Indemnitees.
(g) Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim is in fact paid in full by the Grantors or their insurer, the Grantors or such insurer (as the case may be) shall, without any further action, be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose behalf such Claim was paid with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Claim. Such Indemnitee shall give such further assurances or agreements and shall cooperate with a Grantor or such insurer, as the case may be, to permit such Grantor or such insurer to pursue such rights and remedies, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by such Grantor. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if an Indemnitee receives any payment, in whole or in part, from any party other than a Grantor or its insurers with respect to any Claim paid by such
56
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
Grantor or its insurers, it shall promptly pay over to such Grantor the amount received (but not an amount in excess of the amount such Grantor or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Claim). Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence that is payable to a Grantor shall not be paid to such Grantor, or, if it has been previously paid directly to such Grantor, shall not be retained by such Grantor, if at the time of such payment an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations. At the option of the Administrative Agent, such amount payable shall be applied against the Obligations when and as they become due and payable. At such time as such Event of Default is no longer continuing, such amount, to the extent not previously so applied against a Grantor’s obligations, shall be paid to such Grantor.
(h) No Guaranty. Nothing set forth in this Section 6.11 constitutes a guarantee by the Grantors that any Aircraft, Airframe, Engine, Spare Engine or Pledged Spare Part at any time will have any particular value, useful life or residual value.
(i) Payments; Interest. Any amount payable to any Indemnitee on account of a Claim shall be paid within 30 days after receipt by a Grantor of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Claims that are the subject of and basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount payable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 6.11 directly to an Indemnitee or to a Grantor, as the case may be, shall be made in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as is specified by the payee in written directions to the payor or, if no such directions are given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee and mailed to the payee by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid to its address referred to in Section 6.04. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the applicable rate provided for in Section 2.08 of the Credit Agreement shall be paid, on demand, on any amount or indemnity not paid when due pursuant to this Section 6.11 until the same is paid. Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of which such interest is due.
(j) Tax deduction or credit. If, by reason of any Claim payment made to or for the account of an Indemnitee by a Grantor pursuant to this Section 6.11, such Indemnitee subsequently realizes a tax deduction or credit (including foreign tax credit and any reduction in Taxes) not previously taken into account in computing such payment, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay to such Grantor, but only if such Grantor has made all payments then due and owing to such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the sum of (1) the actual reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnitee which is attributable to such deduction or credit, and (2) the actual reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnitee as a result of any payment made by such Indemnitee pursuant to this sentence; provided that, each Grantor, upon request of such Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Grantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to such Indemnitee to the extent a subsequent determination by such taxing authority results in an actual increase in Taxes payable by such Indemnitee which is attributable to such deduction or credit.
Section 6.12 Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is the intention of the parties that the Administrative Agent be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code,
57
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
subject to each Grantor’s rights thereunder, with respect to the right to take possession of Aircraft, Engine, Spare Engines and Pledged Spare Parts (other than Aircraft listed on Schedule 3.18 to the Credit Agreement and Engines, Spare Engines and Pledged Spare Parts that were first placed in service on or prior to October 22, 1994), and to enforce any of its other rights or remedies as provided in this Mortgage in the event of a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in which a Grantor is a debtor, all subject to the provisions and limitations of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 6.13 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent shall enter into any Intercreditor Agreement and such Intercreditor Agreement shall remain outstanding, the rights granted to the Secured Parties hereunder, the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and such Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to any right or remedy, and no right, power or remedy granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent, and no direction shall be given by the Administrative Agent, in contravention of such Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 6.14 Quiet Enjoyment. The Administrative Agent agrees on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, neither it nor any Person claiming through it shall take any action contrary to, or otherwise in any way interfere with or disturb (and then only in accordance with this Mortgage), the quiet enjoyment of the use and possession of the Aircraft, the Airframes, the Engines, the Spare Engines and Pledged Spares Parts or the Parts by a Grantor or any transferee of any interest in any thereof permitted under this Mortgage.
Section 6.15 Grantors’ Performance and Rights. Any obligation imposed on a Grantor herein shall require only that such Grantor perform or cause to be performed such obligation, even if stated as a direct obligation, and the performance of any such obligation by any permitted assignee, lessee or transferee under an assignment, lease or transfer agreement then in effect and in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage shall constitute performance by such Grantor and, to the extent of such performance, discharge such obligation by such Grantor. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any right granted to a Grantor in this Mortgage shall grant such Grantor the right to permit such right to be exercised by any such assignee, lessee or transferee, and in the case of a lessee, as if the terms hereof were applicable to such lessee were such lessee a Grantor hereunder. The inclusion of specific references to obligations or rights of any such assignee, lessee or transferee in certain provisions of this Mortgage shall not in any way prevent or diminish the application of the provisions of the two sentences immediately preceding with respect to obligations or rights in respect of which specific reference to any such assignee, lessee or transferee has not been made in this Mortgage.
Section 6.16 Additional Grantors. Each Grantor acknowledges that additional Subsidiaries may become a party hereto as an additional Grantor (each such Person, an
58
[Aircraft, Spare Engines and Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement]
“Additional Grantor”) by executing an Instrument of Assumption and Joinder (a “Joinder”) substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto. Upon delivery of any such Joinder to the Administrative Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by the Grantors, each such Additional Grantor shall be deemed a Grantor hereunder and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be discharged, diminished or otherwise affected (a) by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, (b) any failure by the Borrower or any other Grantor to cause any Subsidiary of the Borrower to become an Additional Grantor or a Grantor hereunder or (c) by reason of the Administrative Agent’s or any of the other Secured Parties’ actions in effecting, or failure to effect, any such Joinder, or in releasing any Grantor hereunder, in each case without the necessity of giving notice to or obtaining the consent of any other Grantor. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
