THE
COMMITMENTS AND
CREDIT EXTENSIONS
2.01
|
Committed
Loans.
|
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees
to
make loans (each such loan, a “Committed
Loan”)
to the
Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period,
in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of
such
Lender’s Commitment; provided,
however,
that
after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings
shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitments and (y) the
Borrowing Base Amount for such date, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus
such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
plus
such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans
shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s
Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower
may borrow under this Section 2.01,
prepay
under Section 2.05,
and
reborrow under this Section 2.01.
Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further
provided herein.
28
|
2.02
|
Borrowings,
Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.
|
(a) Each
Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the
other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested
date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans
or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans,
and
(ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans.
Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)
must be
confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written
Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c)
and
2.04(c),
each
Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each
Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify
(i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion
of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the
principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued,
(iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing
Committed Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration
of
the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify
a
Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails
to
give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the
applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.
Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the
last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion
to,
or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice,
but
fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an
Interest Period of one month.
(b) Following
receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable
Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is
provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender
of
the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the
preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall
make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent
in
immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s
Office
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable
Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth
in Section 4.02
(and, if
such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01),
the
Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower
in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by
(i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America
with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in
each
case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable
to)
the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided,
however,
that
if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is
given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds
of such Borrowing, first,
shall
be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second,
shall
be made available to the Borrower as provided above.
29
(c) Except
as
otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted
only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During
the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or
continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required
Lenders.
(d) The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the interest rate
applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination
of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change
in
Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly
following the public announcement of such change.
(e) After
giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans
from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the
same
Type, there shall not be more than seven (7) Interest Periods in effect with
respect to Committed Loans.

|
(i) Subject

the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall
be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing
period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired
or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
30
(ii) The

Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
if:
(A) any
order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall
by
its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter
of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such
Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which
the
L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing
Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense
which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good
xxxxx xxxxx material to it;
(B) the
issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the
L/C
Issuer;
(C) except
as
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter
of
Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $500,000;
(D) such
Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;
or
(E) a
default
of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c)

or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C
Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such
Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such
Lender.
(iv) The
L/C
Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be
permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under
the terms hereof.
(v) The
L/C
Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the
L/C
Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit
in
its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter
of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of
Credit.
31
(vi) The
L/C
Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit
issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall
have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative
Agent in Article IX
with
respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection
with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer
Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term
“Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX
included
the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally
provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
(b) Procedures
for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of
Credit.
(i) Each
Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.
Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business
Days
(or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer
may
agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed
issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request
for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application
shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the
proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof;
(D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the
documents
to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder;
(F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary
in
case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C
Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding
Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and
detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be
amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be
a
Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such
other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall
furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents
and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or
amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent may require.
(ii) Promptly
after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm
with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application
from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative
Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice
from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one
Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the
applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained
in
Article IV
shall
not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
L/C
Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account
of
CNL RPI (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment,
as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and
customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter
of
Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation
in
such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage times
the
amount of such Letter of Credit.
32
(iii) If
the
Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C
Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of
Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit”);
provided
that any
such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent
any
such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the
date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the
beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension
Notice Date”)
in
each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of
Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower
shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any
such
extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders
shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to
permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date
not
later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided,
however,
that
the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer
has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation,
at
such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended)
under
the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii)
of Section 2.03(a)
or
otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone
or in
writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the
Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the
Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from
the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02
is not
then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit
such extension.
(iv) Promptly
after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of
Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof,
the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
a
true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings
and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i) Upon
receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing
under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date
of any
payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an
“Honor
Date”),
the
Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in
an
amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so
reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing
(the “Unreimbursed
Amount”),
and
the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed
Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02
for the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized
portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02
(other
than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C
Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i)
may be
given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided
that the
lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness
or
binding effect of such notice.
33
(ii) Each
Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)
make
funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
at
the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable
Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the
Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon,
subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii),
each
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate
Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall
remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
(iii) With
respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
cannot
be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed
Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable
on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii)
shall be
deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall
constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation
obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv) Until
each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c)
to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit,
interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall
be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
(v) Each
Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C
Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this
Section 2.03(c),
shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right
which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance
of a
Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or
not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided,
however,
that
each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)
is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(other
than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of
an
L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower
to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer
under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided
herein.
34
(vi) If
any
Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of
the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c)
by the
time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii),
the L/C
Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the
rate
determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under
this
clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Repayment
of Participations.
(i) At
any
time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and
has
received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with Section 2.03(c),
if the
Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment
in
respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly
from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied
thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute
to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in
the
case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the
Administrative Agent.
(ii) If
any
payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)
is
required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its
discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
the
date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders
under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and
the
termination of this Agreement.
(e) Obligations
Absolute.
The
obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under
each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the
following:
35
(i) any
lack
of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or
any
other Loan Document;
(ii) the
existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the
Borrower or any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or
any
transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary
or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby
or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto,
or
any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any
draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect
or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any
loss
or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order
to
make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv) any
payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation
of a
draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit
to
any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other
representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such
Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under
any Debtor Relief Law; or
(v) any
other
circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute
a
defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Loan
Party.
The
Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each
amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Borrower’s
instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the
L/C
Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim
against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as
aforesaid.
(f) Role
of L/C Issuer.
Each
Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of
Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document
(other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required
by
the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy
of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering
any
such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their
respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of
the
L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or
omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the
Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken
or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or
(iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of
any
document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.
The
Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary
or
transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided,
however,
that
this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the
Borrower’s
pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or
transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or
responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through
(v) of
Section 2.03(e);
provided,
however,
that
anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may
have
a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the
Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed
to
consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower
proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or
the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s)
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility
for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency
of
any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign
a
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof,
in
whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any
reason.
36
(g) Cash
Collateral.
Upon
the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored
any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing
has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the
Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.05
and
8.02(c)
set
forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.
For
purposes of this Section 2.03,
Section 2.05 and
Section 8.02(c),
“Cash
Collateralize”
means
to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C
Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in
form
and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which
documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term
have
corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all
such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the
foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts
at
Bank of America.
(h) Applicability
of ISP. Unless
otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter
of
Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter
of Credit.
(i) Letter
of Credit Fees.
The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender
in
accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the
“Letter
of Credit Fee”) for
each
Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times
the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes
of
computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit,
the
amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with
Section 1.06.
Letter
of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears
and
(ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each
March,
June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to
occur
after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate
during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter
of
Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for
each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request
of
the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit
Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
37
(j) Fronting
Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.
The
Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting
fee with
respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee
Letter, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter
of
Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and
payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June,
September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly
period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with
the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on
the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of
computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit,
the
amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with
Section 1.06.
In
addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account
the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees,
and
other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of
credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs
and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(k) Conflict
with Issuer Documents.
In the
event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer
Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(l) Letters
of
Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is
in
support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, CNL RPI or a Subsidiary
of CNL RPI, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer
hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower
hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account
of
Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s
business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such
Subsidiaries.

Swing
Line Loans.
|
(a) The
Swing Line.
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees,
in
reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to
make
loans (each such loan, a “Swing
Line Loan”)
to the
Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period
in
an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the
Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when
aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed
Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed
the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided,
however,
that
after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings
shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitments and (y) the
Borrowing Base Amount as of such day, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus
such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
plus
such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans
shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided,
further,
that
the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance
any
outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the
other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this
Section 2.04,
prepay
under Section 2.05,
and
reborrow under this Section 2.04.
Each
Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a
Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk
participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of
such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage times
the
amount of such Swing Line Loan.
38
(b) Borrowing
Procedures.
Each
Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.
Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing
date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be
a
minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall
be
a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by
delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written
Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of
any
telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with
the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent
has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender
will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the
contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone
or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing
(A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan
as a
result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of
Section 2.04(a),
or
(B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV
is not
then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing
Line
Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified
in
such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available
to
the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the
books
of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.
(c) Refinancing
of Swing Line Loans.
(i) The
Swing
Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on
behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line
Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Committed
Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of
Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which
written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes
hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02,
without
regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount
of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate
Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.
The
Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable
Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the
Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable
Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available
to
the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of
the
Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than
1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon,
subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii),
each
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate
Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall
remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
39
(ii) If
for
any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i),
the
request for Base Rate Committed Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as
set
forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that
each
of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan
and
each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing
Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i)
shall be
deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii) If
any
Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of
the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant
to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c)
by the
time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i),
the
Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through
the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for
the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal
to
the rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender
submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to
any
amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(iv) Each
Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)
shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right
which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance
of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether
or
not similar to any of the foregoing; provided,
however,
that
each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)
is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.
No such
funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation
of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided
herein.
40
(d) Repayment
of Participations.
(i) At
any
time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing
Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such
Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its
Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case
of
interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk
participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing
Line
Lender.
(ii) If
any
payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest
on
any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under
any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender
in
its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate
per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such
demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders
under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and
the
termination of this Agreement.
(e) Interest
for Account of Swing Line Lender.
The
Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest
on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan
or
risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04
to
refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest
in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of
the
Swing Line Lender.
(f) Payments
Directly to Swing Line Lender.
The
Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the
Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
2.05

thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall
be in
a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof
or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the
Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of
such
Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued
interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required
pursuant to Section 3.05.
Each
such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
41
(b) Voluntary
Prepayments of Swing Line Loans.
The
Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay
Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided
that
(i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the

amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such

such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due
and
payable on the date specified therein.
(c) Mandatory
Prepayments.
(i) Aggregate
Commitments.
If for
any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed either (x) the Aggregate
Commitments then in effect or (y) the Borrowing Base Amount as of such day,
the
Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided,
however,
that
the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations
pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)
unless
after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the
Aggregate Commitments then in effect.
(ii) Prepayments
From Casualty and Condemnation Events.
Subject
to the rights of tenants under any applicable lease, immediately upon the
occurrence of any event requiring application of any insurance proceeds to
the
prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to Section 6.07(b),
the
Borrower shall prepay the Loans in the amount required by such Section 6.07(b).
Amounts
prepaid pursuant to this Section
2.05(c)(ii)
shall be
applied first,
to the
Loans and second
(and
after all Loans have been paid) to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in
an
amount equal to the then outstanding Letters of Credit.
2.06
|

|
The
Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate
Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments;

(iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments
if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder,
the
Total Outstandings would exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitments
and
(y) the Borrowing
Base Amount as of such day and
(iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments,
the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount
of
the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by
the
amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders
of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments.
Any
reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of
each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until
the
effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid
on
the effective date of such termination.

366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations
of
fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days
elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid
than
if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each
Loan
for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any
portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid,
provided
that any
Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to
Section 2.12(a),
bear
interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.
44
2.11
|
Evidence
of Debt.
|
(a) The
Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts
or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the
ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error
of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower
and
the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.
In
the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any
Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect
of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through
the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s
Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules
to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and
maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b) In
addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a),
each
Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender
of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of
any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative
Agent
and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence
of
manifest error.
2.12
|
Payments
Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
|
(a) General.
All
payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction
for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be
made
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which
such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office
in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m.
on
the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute
to
each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such
Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after
2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day
and
any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to
be
made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may
be.
(b) (i) Funding
by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.
Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to
the
proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the
case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on
the
date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available
to
the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with Section 2.02
(or, in
the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has
made
such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02)
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 Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in
immediately available funds 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 (A) in
the
case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case
of a
payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the
Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid
by
the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable
Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing.
Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower
may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent.
45
(ii) Payments
by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.
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 L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer, 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 L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees
to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds
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 Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
A
notice
of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any
amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.
(c) Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.
If any
Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be
made
by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II,
and
such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent
because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in
Article IV
are not
satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative
Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender)
to
such Lender, without interest.
46
(d) Obligations
of Lenders Several.
The
obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 10.04(c)
are
several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan,
to
fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c)
on any
date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its
participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).
(e) Funding
Source.
Nothing
herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan
in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any
Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner.
2.13
|
Sharing
of Payments by Lenders.
|
If
any
Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the
Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in
Swing
Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations
and
accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata
share
thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed
Loans
and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other
Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided
that:
(i) if
any
such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion
of
the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans
to
any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall
apply).
47
Each
Loan
Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively
do
so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant
to
the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff
and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender
were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such
participation.
2.14
|
Extension
of Maturity Date.
|
(a) Requests
for Extension.
The
Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Administrative Agent
(who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 90 days and not later
than 60 days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder
(the“Existing
Maturity Date”),
to
extend the Maturity Date an additional 364 days from the Existing Maturity
Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.14,
the
Maturity Date may not be extended for more than two (2) additional 364 day
periods.
(b) Conditions
to Effectiveness of Extensions.
Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, the extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this
Section shall not be effective with respect to any Lender
unless:
(i) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
of
such extension and after giving effect thereto;
(ii) the
representations
and
warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the
date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and
as
of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated
to
have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);
(iii) on
or
before the Existing Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received,
on behalf of each of the Lenders, a fee in the amount of 0.20% on each Lender’s
Commitment as of the date of such extension; and
(iv) in
addition to the foregoing conditions set forth in this clause (b), with respect
to the second 364 day extension of the Existing Maturity Date, on or before
such
Existing Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received, on behalf
of each of the Lenders, updated appraisals, commissioned, reviewed and approved
by the Administrative Agent with respect to each Borrowing Base
Asset.
(c) Conflicting
Provisions.
This
Section shall supersede any provisions in Section
10.01
to the
contrary.
2.15
|
Increase
in Commitments.
|
(a) Request
for Increase.
Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request
an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount (for all such requests)
not exceeding $80,000,000; provided
that
(i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of
$10,000,000, and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of three such
requests. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation
with
the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender
is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business
Days
from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).
48
(b) Lender
Elections to Increase.
Each
Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether
or
not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal
to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested
increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed
to
have declined to increase its Commitment.
(c) Notification
by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.
The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’
responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a
requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent
and
the L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the
Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders
pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(d) Effective
Date and Allocations.
If the
Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the
“Increase
Effective Date”)
and
the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase
and
the Increase Effective Date.
(e) Conditions
to Effectiveness of Increase.
As a
condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase
Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible
Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions
adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and
(ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after
giving
effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained
in Article V
and the
other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective
Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically
refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such
earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.15,
the
representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b)
of
Section 5.05
shall be
deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to
clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01,
and
(B) no Default exists. The Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans
outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 3.05)
to the
extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any
revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the
Commitments under this Section.
(f) Conflicting
Provisions.
This
Section shall supersede any provisions in Section
10.01
to the
contrary.
49
ARTICLE
III
TAXES,
YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01
|
Taxes.
|
(a) Payments
Free of Taxes.
Any and
all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided
that if
the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified
Taxes
(including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives
an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made,
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower
shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower.
Without
limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall
timely
pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.
(c) Indemnification
by the Borrower.
The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C
Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may
be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(d) Evidence
of Payments.
As soon
as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Status
of Lenders.
Any
Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for
tax
purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect
to
payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
50
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is
resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall
be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such
Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is
applicable:
(i) duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a
party,
(ii) duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(iii) in
the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the 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, or (C) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code
and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
or
(iv) any
other
form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or
a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together
with
such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to
permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be
made.
(f) Treatment
of Certain Refunds.
If the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay
to
the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than
any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund), provided
that the
Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the
L/C
Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the
event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not
be
construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer
to
make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes
that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
51
3.02
|
Illegality.
|
If
any
Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental
Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable
Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine
or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender
to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank
market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar
Rate
Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent
and
the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable,
convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either
on
the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately,
if
such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03
|
Inability
to Determine Rates.
|
If
the
Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request
for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that
(a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank
eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such
Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for
determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect
to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan , or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for
any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such
Loan,
the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction
of
the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans in the amount specified therein.
52
3.04
|
Increased
Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.
|
(a) Increased
Costs Generally.
If any
Change in Law shall:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
for
the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except
any
reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C
Issuer;
(ii) subject
any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect
to
this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit
or
any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments
to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01
and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such
Lender or the L/C Issuer); or
(iii) impose
on
any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate 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
making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation
to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer
of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit),
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
the
L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then,
upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital
Requirements.
If any
Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender
or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the
L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such
Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by,
such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level
below
that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.
53
(c) Certificates
for
Reimbursement.
A
certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company,
as
the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be,
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.
(d) Delay
in Requests.
Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute
a
waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation,
provided
that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs
incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that
such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of
the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except
that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
is
retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended
to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
3.05
|
Compensation
for Losses.
|
Upon
demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to
time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such
Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result
of:
(a) any
continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base
Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such
Loan
(whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or
otherwise);
(b) any
failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender
to
make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base
Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or
(c) any
assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant
to
Section 10.13;
including
any

Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04,
or the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
or if
any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02,
then
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office
for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and

in
the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01
or
3.04,
as the
case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to
Section 3.02,
as
applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to
such
Lender.

the
proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made

litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether
any
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable

required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to
be paid
by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer
or
any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to

Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity

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 any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity
as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the

Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter
of
Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in

|
To
the
extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent,
the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment
or
the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver
or
any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Law
or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay
to
the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication)
of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus

|
(a) Successors
and Assigns Generally.
The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except
(i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of

to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of subsection (h) of this
Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto
shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall
be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy
or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments
by Lenders.
Any
Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this
subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line
Loans)
at the time owing to it); provided
that
(i) except
in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this
purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not
then
in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and
Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless
each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however,
that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee
(or
to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated
as a
single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has
been met;
95
(ii) each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect
to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii)
shall
not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans;
(iii) any
assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the
L/C
Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and, so long as no Default or Event of Default
has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower unless the Person that is the proposed
assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would
otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and
(iv) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent
an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee
in
the amount, if any, required as set forth in Schedule 10.06,
and the
Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be
a
party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of
the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,
3.04,
3.05,
and
10.04
with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of
such
assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender
of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
subsection 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
subsection (d) of this Section.
(c) Register.
The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation
of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to
the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrower and the
L/C
Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material
or
substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request
and
receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.
96
(d) Participations.
Any
Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower
or
the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a
natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”)
in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such
Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to
it); provided
that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower,
the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer 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, waiver or other modification
described in the first proviso to Section 10.01
that
affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section,
the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01,
3.04
and
3.05 to
the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted
by law,
each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as
though
it were a Lender, provided
such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13
as
though it were a Lender.
(e) Limitations
upon Participant Rights.
A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01
or
3.04 than
the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation
to
such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01
unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e)
as
though it were a Lender.
(f) Certain
Pledges.
Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any)
to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no
such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.
(g) Electronic
Execution of Assignments.
The
words “execution,”“signed,”“signature,” and words of like import in any
Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures
or
the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same
legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or
the
use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent
and
as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic
Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act.
97
(h) Special
Purpose Funding Vehicles.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
“Granting
Lender”)
may
grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from
time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
(an “SPC”)
the
option to provide all or any part of any Committed Loan that such Granting
Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement;
provided
that (i)
nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Committed
Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails
to make all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Granting Lender shall be
obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it
fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required
under Section 2.12(b)(ii).
Each
party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the
exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or
otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04),
(ii)
no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under
this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender
shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or
other
modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record
hereunder. The making of a Committed Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize
the
Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Committed
Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each
party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of
this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after
the
payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of
any
SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
or
liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i)
with
notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $2,500, assign
all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Committed
Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its funding of Committed Loans to any rating
agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit
or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(i) Resignation
as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank
of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to
subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the
Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice
to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled
to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender
hereunder, subject to the acceptance of such appointment by such successor;
provided,
however,
that no
failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the
resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case
may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect
to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation
as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right
to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).
If
Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights
of
the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans
made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans
or
fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to
Section 2.04(c).
Upon
the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the
case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit
in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of
such
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to
effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such
Letters of Credit.

Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
|
Each
of
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain
the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will
be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep
such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c)
to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with
the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an additional
confidentiality agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those
of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors)
to
any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations,
(g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information
(x)
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender,
the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis
from a source other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
For
purposes of this Section, “Information”
means
all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to
any
Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than
any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan
Party or any Subsidiary, provided
that, in
the case of information received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary after
the
date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery
as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with
its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord
to
its own confidential information.
99
Each
of
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that
(a)
the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan
Party or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance
procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it
will
handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law,
including Federal and state securities Laws.
10.08

Right
of Setoff.
|
If
an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C
Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time
and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to
set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C
Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower
or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or
not
such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement
or
any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such
Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office
of
such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such
deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C
Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such
Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender
and
the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
promptly after any such setoff and application, provided
that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
application.
10.09
|
Interest
Rate Limitation.
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid
or
agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate
of
non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum
Rate”).
If
the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount
that
exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal
of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.
In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by
the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may,
to
the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) exclude voluntary prepayments and
the effects thereof and (b) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal
or
unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term
of
the Obligations hereunder.

Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness.
|
This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all
of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement
and
the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each
of
the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic mail shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
10.11
|
Survival
of Representations and Warranties.
|
All
representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document
or
other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith
or
therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made
by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge
of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain
outstanding.
10.12
|
Severability.
|
If
any
provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of
the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not
be
affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to
that
of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.13
|
Replacement
of Lenders.
|
If
any
Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04,
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 3.01,
if any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder
that
gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, 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,
and
consents required by, Section 10.06),
all of
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related
Loan
Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided
that:
101
(a) the
Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section 10.06(b);
(b) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued
fees
and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(including any amounts under Section 3.05)
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);
(c) in
the
case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04
or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01,
such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter; and
(d) such
assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
A
Lender
shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to
apply.

ARTICLE
XI
GUARANTY
11.01
|
The
Guaranty.
|
Each
of
the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender, each
Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a Swap Contract or a Treasury Management
Agreement, and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary
obligor and not as surety (except
with respect to CNL Retirement PC1 Friendship Heights MD, LP, which shall be
a
surety and not a primary obligor), the prompt payment of the Obligations in
full
when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly
in
accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that
if
any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash
collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally,
promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in
the
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations,
the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity,
as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash
collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension
or renewal.
Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan
Documents or Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, the
obligations of each Guarantor under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
be
limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render
such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any
comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
11.02
|
Obligations
Unconditional.
|
The
obligations of the Guarantors under Section
11.01
are
joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value,
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan
Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release,
impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the
Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor
(other than the payment of the Obligations), it being the intent of this
Section
11.02
that the
obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances (other than the payment of the Obligations).
Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall not exercise any right of
subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower
or
any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article XI
until
such time as the Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter
or
impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute
and
unconditional as described above:
104
(a) at
any
time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any
performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended,
or
such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b) any
of
the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, any
Swap Contract or any Treasury Management Agreement between any Consolidated
Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement
or
instrument referred to in the Loan Documents or such Swap Contracts shall be
done or omitted;
(c) the
maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the
Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any
right under any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract or any Treasury
Management Agreement between any Consolidated Party and any Lender, or any
Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in
the
Loan Documents or such Swap Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements
shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security
therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or
otherwise dealt with;
(d) any
Lien
granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders
as
security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected;
or
(e) any
of
the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without
limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be
subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any
creditor of any Guarantor).
With
respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever,
and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any
right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan
Documents, any Swap Contract or any Treasury Management Agreement between any
Consolidated Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents or such Swap Contracts
or such Treasury Management Agreements, or against any other Person under any
other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.
11.03
|
Reinstatement.
|
The
obligations of the Guarantors under this Article XI
shall be
automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment
by
or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must
be
otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result
of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each
Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender
within 10 days of written demand (together with back up documentation supporting
such reimbursement) for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or
restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against
any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent
transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law.
105
11.04
|
Certain
Additional Waivers.
|
Each
Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security
for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation
pursuant to Section
11.02
and
through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section
11.06.
11.05
|
Remedies.
|
The
Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
on
the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable
as provided in Section
8.02
(and
shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the
circumstances provided in said Section
8.02)
for
purposes of Section
11.01
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due
and
payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration
(or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable),
the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section
11.01.
The
