SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT.
2.01 The Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Bank severally agrees, at any time and from time to time prior to, but excluding, the Revolving Loan Expiry Date, to, upon request of a Borrower (provided such Borrower is FSA or a Subsidiary of FSA at the time), make loans (any such loan made by any Bank a “Revolving Loan” and such loans made by any Bank or by all the Banks, as the context requires, the “Revolving Loans”) to such Borrower or its Designee, which Loans (i) shall, at the option of such Borrower, be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type and (ii) may be prepaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding from any Bank shall at no time exceed the Commitment of such Bank at such time. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising more than three Borrowings to any one Borrower shall not be outstanding under this Agreement at any time, provided that Eurodollar Rate Loans resulting from a conversion pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall not be deemed to be a Borrowing for this purpose.
2.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing hereunder shall be not less than $1,000,000, except as required by Section 2.10(b).
2.03 Notice of Borrowing. Whenever a Borrower desires to make or arrange for a Borrowing of Revolving Loans hereunder, it shall give the Agent at its Notice Office at least one Business Day’s prior notice of each Base Rate Loan and at least three Business Days’ prior notice of each Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on such day. Each such notice (each a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, appropriately completed to specify the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), whether the Revolving Loans being made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be maintained initially as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, if Eurodollar Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto and, if such Loan is to be made to a Designee, the name and address of such Designee and the relationship of such Designee to FSA. The Agent shall promptly give each Bank notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Bank’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.
2.04 Disbursement of Funds. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Bank will make available, through such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office, its pro rata portion of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date, in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Agent, and the Agent will make available to the relevant Borrower or Designee at its Payment Office the
11
aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Banks. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the date of Borrowing that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Agent such Bank’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower or Designee a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Bank on demand. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower or Designee and such Borrower or Designee shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Bank or such Borrower or Designee, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to such Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Bank, the cost to the Agent of acquiring overnight Federal funds and (ii) if recovered from such Borrower, the then applicable rate for Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as the case may be. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which any Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any failure by such Bank to make Loans hereunder.
2.05 Notes. (a) Each Borrower’s or Designee’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by such Borrower or its Designee, substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”).
(b) The Revolving Notes issued to each Bank shall (i) be executed by the relevant Borrower or its Designee, (ii) be payable to the order of the relevant Bank and be dated the relevant Initial Borrowing Date, (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Commitment of the relevant Bank and be payable in the principal amount of the Revolving Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Revolving Loan Expiry Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to mandatory repayment as provided in Section 4.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
(c) Each Bank will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will prior to any transfer of any of its Notes endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation shall not affect any Borrower’s or Designee’s obligations in respect of such Loans.
2.06 Conversions. Each Borrower shall have the option to convert on any Business Day all or a portion equal to $1,000,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans made to it or its Designee pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loan into a Borrowing of another Type of Loan, provided that (i) except as otherwise provided in
12
Section 2.10(b), Eurodollar Rate Loans may be converted into Loans of another Type only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than $1,000,000, (ii) Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings than is permitted under Section 2.01. Each such conversion shall be effected by the relevant Borrower giving the Agent at its Notice Office prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) at least three Business Days’ prior notice (each a “Notice of Conversion”) specifying the Loans to be so converted and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Agent shall give each Bank prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans. Upon any such conversion the proceeds thereof will be applied directly on the day of such conversion to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans being converted.
2.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Banks pro rata on the basis of their Commitments. It is understood that no Bank shall be responsible for any default by any other Bank of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Bank shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder regardless of the failure of any other Bank to make its Loans hereunder.
2.08 Interest. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay (or, with respect to Loans made to its Designee, insure the payment of) interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan of such Borrower or Designee from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to such Borrower or Designee until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time.
(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay (or, with respect to Loans made to its Designee, insure the payment of) interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Borrower or Designee from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to such Borrower or Designee until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be the Eurodollar Rate (adjusted for maximum reserves) as determined by the Agent for the respective Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan of a Borrower or a Designee and any other overdue amount payable by such Borrower or Designee hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Base Rate in effect from time to time; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by law, no Loan shall bear interest after maturity at a rate per annum less than 2% in excess of the rate of interest applicable thereto at maturity.
(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and on the date of
13
any prepayment thereof (on the amount prepaid) and (iii) in respect of each Loan, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.
(e) On each Interest Determination Date, the Agent shall determine the interest rate for the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which such determination is being made and shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower and the Banks thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
2.09 Interest Periods. At the time it gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Rate Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), each relevant Borrower shall have the right to elect, by giving the Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of such Borrower, be a one, three or six month period, provided that: (i) all Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period except as otherwise required by Section 2.10(b); (ii) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Loan (including the date of any conversion thereof into a Loan of a different Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires; (iii) if any Interest Period relating to a Eurodollar Rate Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month; (iv) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; (v) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Expiry Date; and (vi) no Interest Period in respect of the Revolving Loans comprising a Borrowing shall extend beyond any date upon which a mandatory reduction of the Total Commitment will be required to be made under Section 3.03 if the aggregate principal amount of Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the Total Commitment after giving effect to such reduction. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the relevant Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan as provided in this Section 2.09, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.
2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Bank shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Agent):
(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and
14
fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or
(ii) at any time, that such Bank shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan because of (x) any change since the date of this Agreement in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order or request (whether or not having the force of law) (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order or request), such as, for example, but not limited to, (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office of the principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which its principal office or Applicable Lending Office is located) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting such Bank or the interbank Eurodollar market, as the case may be, or the position of such Bank in such market; or
(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Rate Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by such Bank with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;
then, and in any such event, such Bank (or the Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to each Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Agent of such determination (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Banks). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Agent notifies FSA and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by a Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the relevant Borrowers shall pay to such Bank, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Bank in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Bank for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Bank, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to each relevant Borrower by such Bank shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.
(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or 2.10(a)(iii), the relevant Borrower may (and in the case of a
15
Eurodollar Rate Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Agent notice by telephone (confirmed in writing) of the cancellation on the same date that the relevant Borrower was notified by the Bank or the Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or 2.10(a)(iii) or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, require the affected Bank to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that, if more than one Bank is affected at any time, then all affected Banks must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).
(c) If any Bank determines at any time that any change in applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank based on the existence of such Bank’s Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then each relevant Borrower shall pay to such Bank, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts to the extent the Bank has not otherwise been reimbursed pursuant to Section 2.10 as a result of the occurrence of any event specified in Section 2.10(a)(ii) as shall be required to compensate such Bank for the increased cost to such Bank as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Bank will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Bank’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Bank, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to each relevant Borrower, which notice shall show the basis for calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the obligations of any Borrower to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c).
2.11 Compensation. Each Borrower shall compensate each Bank, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such compensation and shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Bank to fund its Eurodollar Rate Loans) which such Bank may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Bank or the Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion from such Borrower (whether or not withdrawn by such Borrower or deemed rescinded pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any prepayment made pursuant to Section 4) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans by such Borrower occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by such Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (a) any other default by such Borrower to repay its Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or the Note of such Bank or (b) any action taken pursuant to Section 2.10(b).
16
2.12 Change of Applicable Lending Office. Each Bank agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(c) or 4.04 with respect to such Bank, it will, if requested by any Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Bank) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Bank and its Applicable Lending Office will suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or Designee or the right of any Bank provided in Section 2.10 or 4.04.
2.13 Addition of New Borrowers. FSA may, from time to time prior to the Revolving Loan Expiry Date, request in writing (each such request, an “Additional Borrower Request”) that any Affiliate of FSA be included in this Agreement as an additional borrower hereunder subject to the terms and conditions hereof (any such Affiliate, an “Additional Borrower”). Such Additional Borrower Request shall be delivered to each of the Banks and the Agent and shall include (i) a certification by a senior officer of such Additional Borrower that such Additional Borrower makes (with respect to itself) each of the representations, warranties and agreements contained in Section 7 as of the date of such certification and as of the date such Additional Borrower becomes a Borrower, (ii) a certification by a senior officer of FSA that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will occur as a result of such Additional Borrower becoming a Borrower and (iii) true and correct copies of the most recently prepared audited and unaudited financial statements of such Additional Borrower. Upon receipt of an Additional Borrower Request, each Bank in its sole discretion shall determine whether it shall consent to such request, any such consent to be in writing and delivered to the Agent. Failure by any Bank to deliver such a consent within 30 days of such request shall be deemed a refusal to consent by such Bank. To the extent the Agent receives written consents from all Banks with respect to a particular Additional Borrower Request, the Agent shall notify FSA, the relevant Additional Borrower and the Banks thereof, and such Additional Borrower shall become a Borrower under this Agreement upon receipt by the Agent of (a) a written acknowledgement from such Additional Borrower consenting to its becoming a Borrower and (b) such other certificates, opinions and instruments (including those comparable to the items delivered by or on behalf of all Borrowers pursuant to Sections 5.03 and 5.04) as the Agent may reasonably request.
2.14 Removal of Borrowers. FSA may, from time to time upon written notice to the Agent, remove any Borrower hereunder provided that at such time neither such Borrower or any of its Designees has any obligations outstanding under this Agreement.
SECTION 3. COMMISSIONS; FEES; REDUCTIONS OF COMMITMENT.
3.01 Fees. (a) FSA agrees to pay to the Agent for distribution to each Bank a daily commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period from (and including) the Effective Date to (but excluding) the Expiry Date (or such earlier date as the Total Commitment shall have been terminated) equal to the Commitment Commission Percentage for the relevant day multiplied by the Unutilized Commitment of such Bank for such day, divided by 360. Any Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last
17
Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year and on the Expiry Date or upon such earlier date as the Total Commitment shall be terminated. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “Commitment Commission Percentage” shall mean, from and after the first day of any Applicable Margin Period to and including the last day of such Applicable Margin Period, a rate per annum determined by reference to the relevant FSA Rating Level, as follows:
|
FSA Rating Level |
|
Commitment Commission |
|
1 |
|
0.070% |
|
2 |
|
0.080% |
|
3 |
|
0.090% |
|
4 |
|
0.125% |
(b) FSA agrees to pay to the Agent for distribution to each Bank a utilization commission (the “Utilization Commission”) during any period when the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding is greater than 50% of the Total Commitment at such time, computed at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the daily average of such outstanding amounts. Any Utilization Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year and on the Expiry Date.
(c) FSA agrees to pay to each Bank, on the Effective Date, a fee equal to 0.02% of such Bank’s Commitment as of the Effective Date.
(d) FSA shall pay to the Agent, for its own account, such fees as may be agreed to from time to time between FSA and the Agent.
3.02 Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Total Commitment. Upon at least five Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Banks), FSA shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to terminate the Unutilized Total Commitment in whole or in part, in integral multiples of $1,000,000, provided that any such termination shall apply proportionately to reduce the Commitment of each Bank.
3.03 Mandatory Termination of Commitment. (a) The Commitment of any Bank which does not agree to extend the Revolving Loan Expiry Date shall terminate in its entirety on such Revolving Loan Expiry Date then in effect.
(b) In addition to any other mandatory Commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Commitment of each Bank to make a Revolving Loan shall terminate in its entirety on the Revolving Loan Expiry Date.
3.04 Expiry Date. The expiration of the Commitments of the Banks to make Revolving Loans shall be April 21, 2011 (the “Revolving Loan Expiry Date”); provided, however, that before (but not earlier than 60 days nor later than 30 days before) the Revolving Loan Expiring Date then in effect, FSA may make a written request (an “Extension Request”) to the Agent at its Notice Office and to each of the Banks that the Revolving Loan Expiry Date be extended to the date set forth therein. Such Extension Request shall include a certification by a
18
senior officer of FSA that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and all representations and warranties contained herein and the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the Extension Request (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which expressly refers by its terms to a specified date shall be required to be true only as of such date). If, by the date occurring 15 days next succeeding the Agent’s receipt of such Extension Request, any Bank agrees thereto in writing by so indicating on counterparts of the Extension Request and delivering such counterpart to FSA, “Revolving Loan Expiry Date” as to such Bank shall mean the date so designated in the relevant Extension Request, provided that (i) any failure by the Agent or a Bank to so notify FSA shall be deemed to be a disapproval by such Bank of the Extension Request; and (ii) the portion of the Commitment representing the Commitment of any Bank not so agreeing shall terminate on the Revolving Loan Expiry Date as then in effect. The Commitment of any Bank to make Revolving Loans which does not so agree shall terminate upon the Revolving Loan Expiry Date then in effect. No Bank shall be obligated to grant any extension pursuant to this Section 3.04 and any such extension shall be in the sole discretion of each Bank. Each Borrower shall pay to each Bank which does not so agree all amounts owing under its Revolving Note and this Agreement on the effective date of the termination of such Bank’s Commitment. In the event of any extension pursuant to this Section 3.04, each Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the effective date of such extension that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and all representations and warranties contained herein and the other Credit Documents with respect to such Borrower are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which expressly refers by its terms to a specified date shall be required to be true only as of such date).
SECTION 4. PREPAYMENTS; PAYMENTS.
4.01 Voluntary Prepayments. Each Borrower and Designee shall have the right to prepay the Loans made to it, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) the relevant Borrower or Designee shall give the Agent at its Notice Office at least three Business Days’ prior notice of its intent to prepay the Loans, the amount of such prepayment and the Types of Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which made, which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Banks; (ii) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000, provided that no partial prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than $1,000,000; (iii) prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans made pursuant to this Section 4.01 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; and (iv) each prepayment in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans.
4.02 Mandatory Prepayments. On any day on which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds the Total Commitment as then in effect (other than a reduction in the Total Commitment pursuant to Section 10), each Borrower and Designee which has one or more Revolving Loans then outstanding shall prepay principal of such Loans proportionately so that an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess is prepaid.
19
4.03 Method and Place of Payment. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or any Note shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Bank or Banks entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Agent. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09(iv), whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.
4.04 Net Payments. All payments made by any Borrower or Designee hereunder or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 4.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (but excluding, except as provided below, any tax imposed on or measured by the net income of a Bank pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Bank is located) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, each Borrower agrees to pay (on a pro rata basis) the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due hereunder or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note.

34
thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents or employees.

The Agent shall not be responsible to any Bank or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of any Borrower or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of any Borrower or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

11.05 Reliance. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with
35
respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Agent.
11.06 Indemnification. To the extent the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrowers, each Bank will reimburse and indemnify the Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.08 Holders. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

(a) The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to FSA and the Banks.

12.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that (i) except as provided herein, no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Banks, (ii) although any Bank may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder and under the Notes pursuant to this Section 12.04(a) with the consent of FSA (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and such consent not required in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the Bank with the same ratings as the Bank), such Bank shall remain a “Bank” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign its Commitment hereunder except as provided in Section 12.04(b)), and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Bank” hereunder and (iii) no Bank shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents except to the extent such amendment or waiver (A) extends the final maturity of any Loan or Note, or reduces the rate or extends the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon, or reduces the principal amount thereof, or increases the Commitment of any Bank over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Bank), (B) consents to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document or (C) amends, modifies or waives any provision of this Section 12.04. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not constitute a “Bank” hereunder and shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against any Bank in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Bank in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by any Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation, except that the participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 4.04 of this Agreement to the extent that such Bank would be entitled to such benefits if the participation had not been transferred, granted or assigned.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.04(a), any Bank (or any Bank together with one or more other Banks) may assign all or a portion of its Commitment and related outstanding rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees, each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Bank by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and delivery of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement to FSA and the Agent, provided that (i) new Notes will be issued to such new Bank in the stated amount of its assumed Commitment and to the assigning Bank in the stated amount
38
of the Commitment, if any, retained by it upon the request of such new Bank or assigning Bank and the surrender of the Notes previously issued to the assigning Bank (or the execution and delivery to each relevant Borrower of an indemnity satisfactory to such Borrower), such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments, and (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank with the same ratings as the Bank, the Agent and FSA must give their prior written consent to such assignment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b), the assigning Bank shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitment. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Bank hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Bank shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to FSA the forms described in Section 4.04(b)(ii) or 4.04(b)(iv) in the case of a Bank described in Section 4.04(b)(ii) or 4.04(b)(iv), respectively.
(c) Upon the execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions of, Section 12.04(b), and payment of a $3,500 assignment fee to the Agent by the relevant assignor or assignee, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a “Bank” hereunder and thereunder.
(d) Any Bank claiming any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.04 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Bank) to designate another lending office for its Commitment or Loans or take such other action to minimize such amounts, as may be reasonably requested by FSA, provided that such designation is made or such other action is taken on such terms that such Bank and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.
(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Bank from pledging its Loans and Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Bank from such Federal Reserve Bank.
12.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Bank or the holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Borrower and any Bank or the holder of any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Credit Document, the rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which any Bank would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower or any other Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Bank or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
39

(b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees are payable.

(a) This Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the law of the State of New York. Any legal action or proceeding against any Borrower with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of such courts. Each Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address set forth opposite its signature below, such service to become effective 10 days after such mailing. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Agent or any Bank under this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Borrower in any other jurisdiction.
(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in Section 12.07(a) and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

The obligation of each Borrower to make payment in Dollars of the principal of and interest on the Notes and any other amounts due hereunder or under any other Credit Document to the Payment Office of the Agent as provided in Section 4.03 shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Agent at its Payment Office of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable in respect of the principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts due hereunder or under any other Credit Document. The obligation of each Borrower to make payments in Dollars shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovery in Dollars of the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable in respect of the principal of and interest on the Notes and any other amounts due under any other Credit Document, and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document.
