Subject to the provisions of §2.4 and the other terms and conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrowers and the Borrowers may borrow, repay, and reborrow from each Revolving Credit Lender from time to time during the Availability Period upon notice by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with §2.4 hereof, such sums as are requested by the Borrower Representative up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the sum of (i) L/C Obligations and (ii) outstanding Swingline Loans; provided that the sum of (x) the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus (y) all outstanding Swingline Loans plus (z) all L/C Obligations, shall not at any time exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect at such time.
(b)The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to §2.4 hereof, shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrowers that the conditions set forth in §11 have been satisfied as of the Restatement Date, and that the conditions set forth in §12 have been satisfied on the date of such request and will be satisfied on the proposed Drawdown Date of the requested Revolving Credit Loan, provided that the making of such representation and warranty by the Borrowers shall not limit the right of any Lender not to lend if such conditions have not been met. No Revolving Credit Loan shall be required to be made by any Lender unless all of the conditions contained in §11 have been satisfied as of the Restatement Date, and all of the conditions set forth in §12 have been met at the time of any request for a Revolving Credit Loan.

The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such
- 31 -
Lender’s Revolving Credit Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of any Revolving Credit Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Revolving Credit Note or any other security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Revolving Credit Note or other security document, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Revolving Credit Note or other security document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

(e)The Administrative Agent will use good faith efforts to cause the Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request to be delivered to each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with §15.12 and in any event on the same day or the Business Day following the day a Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request is received by the Administrative Agent.
(a)The Borrowers may elect from time to time by written notice in the form of Exhibit F to convert any outstanding Revolving Credit Loan to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type, provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such election; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower Representative shall give the
- 33 -
Administrative Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days prior written notice of such election; (iii) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto unless the Borrowers pay the related LIBOR Breakage Costs at the time of such conversion and (iv) no Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may be converted into a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type as provided herein, provided that any partial conversion shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrowers.
(b)Any Revolving Credit Loan of any Type may be continued as such upon the expiration of the Interest Period with respect thereto (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, automatically and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans by compliance by the Borrower Representative with the notice provisions contained in §2.5(a); provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders promptly when any such automatic conversion contemplated by this §2.5(b) is scheduled to occur.
(c)In the event that the Borrower Representative does not notify the Administrative Agent of its election hereunder with respect to the continuation of any Revolving Credit Loan which is a LIBOR Rate Loan as such, the affected LIBOR Rate Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
(d)The Borrowers may not request or elect a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to §2.4, elect to convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to §2.5(a), or elect to continue a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to §2.5(b) if, after giving effect thereto, there would be greater than eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding (including both Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans). Any Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request for a LIBOR Rate Loan that would create greater than eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding shall be deemed to be a Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request for a Base Rate Loan.
(e)The Administrative Agent will use good faith efforts to cause any notice of continuation or conversion delivered under this §2.5 to be delivered to each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with §15.12 and in any event on the same day or the Business Day following the day such notice is received by the Administrative Agent.
§2.6.Funds for Revolving Credit Loans.
(a)Subject to the other provisions of this §2, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders will make available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Revolving Credit Loan; provided that each Revolving Credit Lender shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent
- 34 -
not to make available its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit Loan as soon as possible after receipt of any Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request, and in any event not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on (x) the Business Day prior to the Drawdown Date of any requested Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan and (y) the third Business Day prior to the Drawdown Date of any requested Revolving Credit Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan. Upon receipt from each Revolving Credit Lender of such amount, the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrowers in the Borrower Representative’s account with the Administrative Agent the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loan made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders. All such funds received by the Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day will be made available to the Borrowers not later than 2:00 p.m. on the same Business Day. Funds received after such time will be made available by not later than 12:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The failure or refusal of any Revolving Credit Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loan shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit Loan but in no event shall the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) have any obligation to make any funding or shall any Lender be obligated to fund more than its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loan or to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage on account of such failure or otherwise.
(b)The Administrative Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any Revolving Credit Lender prior to a Drawdown Date, assume that such Revolving Credit Lender has made available to the Administrative Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loan to be made on such Drawdown Date, and the Administrative Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If any Revolving Credit Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent such amount on a date after such Drawdown Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the average, computed for the period referred to in clause (iii) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the Administrative Agent for federal funds acquired by the Administrative Agent during each day included in such period, multiplied by (ii) the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan, multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed from and including such Drawdown Date to the date on which the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loan shall become immediately available to the Administrative Agent, and the denominator of which is 360. A statement of the Administrative Agent submitted to such Revolving Credit Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due and owing to the Administrative Agent by such Lender. If the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days following such Drawdown Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from the Borrowers on demand, with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans made on such Drawdown Date.
- 35 -
§2.7.Repayment of the Revolving Credit Loans at Maturity. The Borrowers jointly and severally promise to pay on the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, all unpaid principal of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the unpaid balance of the Facility Fee accrued through such date, and any and all other unpaid amounts due under this Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Notes or any other of the Loan Documents.
§2.8.Optional Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall have the right, at their election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided that the outstanding amount of any Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans may not be prepaid unless the Borrowers pay any LIBOR Breakage Costs for each LIBOR Rate Loan so prepaid at the time of such prepayment. The Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §2.8 of any Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days’ notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this §2.8 of Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans, specifying the proposed date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid. Each such partial prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an amount of $2,000,000 or integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans then being repaid, shall be accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on all Revolving Credit Loans so prepaid and of all accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment, and shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower Representative, first to the principal of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans, at the Administrative Agent’s option.
§2.9.Mandatory Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans and Other Obligations. If at any time the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the outstanding amount of the Swingline Loans and all L/C Obligations exceeds the lesser of (i) Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) the maximum amount that permits compliance with the terms of §10 hereof, the Borrowers shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Administrative Agent for application: first, to any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations; second, to the Swingline Loans; third, to the Revolving Credit Loans (first to Base Rate Loans, then to LIBOR Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities); and fourth, to provide to the Administrative Agent cash collateral for Reimbursement Obligations as contemplated by §5.6(b) and (c). Each payment of any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, or prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to each L/C Obligation, or (as the case may be) the respective unpaid principal amount of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Note, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior payments or repayments not exactly in proportion. All payments of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to §2.12(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).
- 36 -
(a)The Borrowers shall have the right, exercisable two times, to extend the current Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date in effect as of the date each such right is exercised by six months. The Borrowers may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 30 days but not more than 90 days prior to the current Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, a written request for such extension (a “Revolving Extension Request”). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders if it receives a Revolving Extension Request promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date shall be extended for six months from the then current Revolving Loan Maturity Date effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Revolving Extension Request and payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (ii): (i) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrowers and any Guarantor in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, to the extent qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (or, to the extent qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted under the Loan Documents and (ii) the Borrowers shall have paid the Fees payable under §4.1(b). At any time prior to the effectiveness of any such extension, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer certifying the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i)(x) and (i)(y).
(b)The Borrowers shall have the right, exercisable two times, to extend the Term Maturity Date by one year. The Borrowers may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 30 days but not more than 90 days prior to the Term Maturity Date, a written request for such extension (a “Term Extension Request”). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Term Loan Lenders if it receives a Term Extension Request promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Term Loan Maturity Date shall be extended for one year from the Term Maturity Date effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Term Extension Request and payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (ii): (i) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrowers and any Guarantor in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, to the extent qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (or, to the extent qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted under the Loan Documents and (ii) the Borrowers shall have paid the Fees payable under §4.1(c). At any time prior to the effectiveness of any such extension, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate from the chief executive
- 37 -
officer or chief financial officer certifying the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i)(x) and (i)(y)
§2.11.Increase of Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may request, by written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time during the period beginning on Restatement Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, that the Total Revolving Credit Commitment be increased; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and the making of any Additional Term Loans pursuant to §3.7, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans shall not exceed $900,000,000. Each such increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment must be in aggregate minimum amounts of $25,000,000; provided that (a) the maturity date of such increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, (b) the Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto signed by the chief financial officer or treasurer of the Borrower Representative setting forth computations evidencing compliance with the covenants contained in §§10.1, 10.2, 10.4, and 10.11 as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available and determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to any such requested increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment (assuming full utilization of the increased Total Revolving Credit Commitment) and if Additional Term Loans have also been requested pursuant to §3.7 at such time, giving effect to any such requested making of Additional Term Loans, and, certifying that, both before and after giving effect to such requested increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and, if applicable, the requested making of Additional Term Loans, no Default or Event of Default exists or will exist under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and that after taking into account such requested increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and, if applicable, the making of Additional Term Loans at such time, no default will exist as of the effective date of such increase or thereafter, (c) such Additional Term Loans and/or increase to the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be on the same terms and conditions applicable to this Credit Agreement, (d) any Revolving Credit Lender which is a party to this Credit Agreement prior to such request for such increase, at its sole discretion, may elect to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment but shall not have any obligation to so increase its Revolving Credit Commitment, and (e) in the event that, in the case of a request for increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, each Revolving Credit Lender does not elect to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Joint Lead Arrangers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate additional lenders, subject to the Borrowers’ approval of such lenders (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) willing to hold commitments for the requested increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. In the event that Revolving Credit Lenders commit to such increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, (i) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Lender shall be increased (or, in the case of a new lender not previously party hereto, added to the Revolving Credit Commitments), (ii) the pro rata share of each of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be adjusted subject to the payment of any LIBOR Breakage Costs, (iii) new Revolving Credit Notes shall be issued, (iv) the Borrowers shall make such borrowings and repayments as shall be necessary to effect the reallocation of the Revolving Credit Commitments. In the case of an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, changes shall be made by way of supplement, amendment or restatement of any of the Loan Documents as may be necessary or desirable to reflect the aggregate amount, if any, by which Revolving Credit Lenders have agreed to increase their respective Revolving Credit
- 38 -
Commitments or any other lenders have agreed to make new commitments pursuant to this §2.11 (including the modification of Schedule 1.1(A) to reflect the increase), in each case notwithstanding anything in §26 to the contrary, without the consent of any Lender other than those Lenders increasing their Revolving Credit Commitments (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall execute any such supplement, amendment or restatement as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowers and necessary or desirable in connection with an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment permitted pursuant to this §2.11). The fees payable by the Borrowers upon such an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be agreed upon by the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Borrowers at the time of such increase.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this §2.11 shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agreement by any Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder.
(a)Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers, during the period from the Restatement Date to but excluding the Swingline Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, $25,000,000, as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan if immediately after making such Swingline Loan, the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, together with all L/C Obligations would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Commitment in effect at such time, the Borrowers shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.
(b)Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans. The Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan. Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be delivered to the Swingline Lender no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of such borrowing. Any telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower Representative pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent to the Swingline Lender by telecopy on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice. Not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in §11 as of the Restatement Date and the conditions set forth in §12 on the date of such request and on the proposed Drawdown Date of the requested Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrowers in Dollars, in immediately available funds, in the Borrower Representative’s account with the Administrative Agent.
(c)Interest. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans or at such other rate or rates as the Borrowers and the Swingline Lender may
- 39 -
agree from time to time in writing. Interest on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the Swingline Lender (except to the extent a Revolving Credit Lender acquires a participating interest in a Swingline Loan pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e)). All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date for Base Rate Loans (except as the Swingline Lender and the Borrowers may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).
(d)Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc. Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrowers. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lender and the Borrowers may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower Representative must give the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time) on the day prior to the date of such prepayment. The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Note.
- 40 -
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds. A Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default in §13.1(g) or §13.1(h)), or the termination of any Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, either Borrower or any Guarantor, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Revolving Credit Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the overnight federal funds effective rate as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. If such Revolving Credit Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Revolving Credit Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Revolving Credit Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). All payments of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan). |
§3.1.Term Loans. Pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Lenders extended to the Borrowers “Term Loans” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) in the aggregate principal amount of $325,000,000. On the Restatement Date, such Term Loans shall remain outstanding and shall constitute Term Loans under (and as defined in) this Credit Agreement. As of the Restatement Date, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans is $100,000,000. The Borrowers may not reborrow any portion of the Term Loans once repaid.
§3.2.The Term Notes. Each Term Loan shall be evidenced by the Term Notes. A Term Note shall be payable to the order of each Term Loan Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s applicable Term Loan. The Borrowers irrevocably authorize each Term Loan Lender to make or cause to be made at or about the time of such Term Loan Lender’s receipt of any payment of principal on such Term Loan Lender’s Term Note an
- 41 -
appropriate notation on such Term Loan Lender’s Term Note of the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the applicable Term Loan set forth on such Term Loan Lender’s Term Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Term Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Term Loan Lender’s Term Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any Term Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Term Note when due. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of any Term Loan Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Term Note or any other security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Term Note or other security document, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Term Note or other security document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.
(a)Except as otherwise provided in §4.10, the outstanding amount of each Term Loan shall bear interest during each Interest Period relating to all or any portion of such Term Loan at the following rates:
(i)To the extent that all or any portion of a Term Loan bears interest during such Interest Period at the Base Rate, such Term Loan or such portion shall bear interest during such Interest Period at a rate equal to the Base Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term Loans which are Base Rate Loans.
(ii)To the extent that all or any portion of a Term Loan bears interest during such Interest Period at the LIBOR Rate, such Term Loan or such portion shall bear interest during such Interest Period at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans.
(b)Interest Payments. The Borrowers jointly and severally unconditionally promise to pay interest on the Term Loans in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.
§3.4.Conversion Options. The provisions of §2.5 shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to all or any portion of a Term Loan so that the Borrowers may have the same interest rate options with respect to all or any portion of a Term Loan as they would be entitled to with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.
§3.5.Repayment of the Term Loans at Maturity. The Borrowers jointly and severally promise to pay on the Term Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Term Maturity Date, all unpaid principal of the Term Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and any and all other unpaid amounts due under this Credit Agreement, the Term Notes or any other of the Loan Documents in respect of the Term Loans.
- 42 -
§3.6.Optional Repayments of Term Loans. The Borrowers shall have the right, at their election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loans, in whole or in part, subject to (a) the Borrower Representative having given at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of such prepayment, and (b) the payment, simultaneously with such prepayment, of LIBOR Breakage Costs for such Term Loans to the extent that they (or any portions thereof) are LIBOR Rate Loans. Each such partial prepayment of the Term Loans shall be in an amount of $2,000,000 or integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and shall be accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on such Term Loans and of all accrued interest on the principal of such Term Loans prepaid to the date of payment, and shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower Representative, first to the principal of such Term Loans to the extent that they (or any portions thereof) are Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of such Term Loans to the extent that they (or any portions thereof) are LIBOR Rate Loans, at the Administrative Agent’s option. No amount of the Term Loans that is prepaid may be re-borrowed.
§3.7.Additional Term Loans. Unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may request, by written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time during the period beginning on the Restatement Date to but excluding the Term Maturity Date, that additional Term Loans be made (the “Additional Term Loans”); provided, however, that after giving effect to any increases in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment effected pursuant to §2.11 and the making of such Additional Term Loans, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans shall not exceed $900,000,000. Each such borrowing of Additional Term Loans must be in aggregate minimum amounts of $25,000,000; provided that (a) the maturity date for the Additional Term Loans shall be the Term Maturity Date, (b) the Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto signed by the chief financial officer or treasurer of the Borrower Representative setting forth computations evidencing compliance with the covenants contained in §§10.1, 10.2, 10.4, and 10.11 as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available and determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to any such requested making of Additional Term Loans and if an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment has also been requested pursuant to §2.11 at such time, giving effect to any such requested increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment (assuming the full utilization of the increased Total Revolving Credit Commitment), and, certifying that, both before and after giving effect to such requested making of Additional Term Loans and, if applicable, such increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, no Default or Event of Default exists or will exist under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and that after taking into account such requested making of Additional Term Loans at such time and, if applicable, such increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, no default will exist as of the effective date of such increase or thereafter, (c) such Additional Term Loans and/or increase to the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be on the same terms and conditions applicable to this Credit Agreement, (d) any Term Loan Lender which is a party to this Credit Agreement prior to a request for Additional Term Loans, at its sole discretion, may elect to make an Additional Term Loan but shall not have an obligation to make an Additional Term Loan, and (e) in the event that, in the case of a request for Additional Term Loans, each Term Loan Lender does not elect to make an Additional Term Loan, the Joint Lead Arrangers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate additional lenders, subject to the Borrowers’ approval of such lenders (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) willing to hold commitments for the making of Additional Term Loans. In the case of the making of Additional Term Loans,
- 43 -
changes shall be made by way of supplement, amendment or restatement of any of the Loan Documents as may be necessary or desirable to reflect the aggregate amount, if any, by which Term Lenders have agreed to make Additional Term Loans, in each case notwithstanding anything in §26 to the contrary, without the consent of any Lender other than those Lenders making Additional Term Loans (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall execute any such supplement, amendment or restatement as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowers and necessary or desirable in connection with the making of Additional Term Loans permitted pursuant to this §3.7). The fees payable by the Borrowers upon the making of Additional Term Loans shall be agreed upon by the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Borrowers at the time of such increase.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this §3.7 shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agreement by any Lender to make Additional Term Loans.
§4.CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(a)The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent an administration fee (the “Administration Fee”), the upfront fees (the “Upfront Fees”), and the other fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, in each case as set forth in that certain Fee Letter dated as of October 4, 2018, among the Borrowers, Xxxxx Fargo Bank and Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC (the “Fee Letter”), (ii) each other respective fee letter by and among the Borrowers and each other Joint Lead Arranger and (iii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages as further set forth in the definition thereof, the Facility Fee.
(b)If the Borrowers exercise their right to extend the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date in accordance with §2.10(a), the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a fee equal to 0.0625% of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (whether or not utilized) for any such extension. Such fee shall be due and payable in full on the date the Administrative Agent receives the Extension Request pursuant to such Section.
(c)If the Borrowers exercise their right to extend the Term Maturity Date in accordance with §2.10(b), the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Loan Lender a fee equal to 0.125% of the amount of such Lender’s Term Loans outstanding. Such fee shall be due and payable in full on the date the Administrative Agent receives the Extension Request pursuant to such Section.
(a)All payments of principal, interest, fees, and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the respective accounts of the applicable Lenders or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Head Office, in each case in Dollars and in immediately available funds.
- 44 -
(b)All payments by the Borrowers hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory liens, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrowers are compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon the Borrowers with respect to any amount payable by them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (an “Indemnified Tax”), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the applicable Lenders to receive the same net amount which such Lenders would have received on such due date had no such obligation (including any such obligation applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) been imposed upon the Borrowers. The Borrower Representative will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrowers hereunder or under such other Loan Document.
(c)The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document.
(d)The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Administrative Agent or Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Administrative Agent or Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Administrative Agent or Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Each Foreign Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on which any payment is due to it hereunder, it will deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Credit Agreement and the Notes payable to it, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Foreign Lender that so delivers a Form W-8BEN or Form W8ECI pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two further copies of Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or successor applicable form, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower Representative and the
- 45 -
Administrative Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Credit Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Foreign Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Foreign Lender advises the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
(f)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
(g)The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Foreign Lender in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to §4.2(b) to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States federal withholding tax existed on the date such Foreign Lender became a party to this Credit Agreement or, with respect to payments to a different lending office designated by the Foreign Lender as its applicable lending office (a “New Lending Office”), the date such Foreign Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to the Loans; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to any transferee or New Lending Office as a result of an assignment, transfer or designation made at the request of the Borrowers; and provided further, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any transferee, or Lender through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive without regard to this clause (i) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment or transfer to such transferee, or Lender making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, transfer or designation; (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Foreign Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (e) above or (iii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Foreign Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (f) above.
(h)For purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
- 46 -
§4.3.Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed; provided, however, interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the Note Records from time to time shall constitute prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof absent manifest error; but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender’s Term Note Record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any Term Note to make payments of principal of and interest on any Term Note when due.
§4.4.Inability to Determine LIBOR Rate. In the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan during any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders. In such event (a) any Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans, (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period thereof, become a Base Rate Loan, and (c) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders.
(a)Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if (i) any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or (ii) the making, maintaining or continuation of its LIBOR Rate Loans has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower Representative and the other Lenders and thereupon (a) the commitment of such Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Lender’s LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law, all until such time as it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to promptly pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion required by this §4.5 prior to the last day of an Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan, including
- 47 -
any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder.
(b)LIBOR Rate Replacement. Subject to any general provisions herein regarding conversion from the LIBOR Rate, including, without limitation, §4.4 and §4.5(a), if for any reason the Administrative Agent shall determine that (i) the LIBOR Rate (as defined herein) no longer exists, substantively, or is otherwise unavailable for an extended period of time (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) including because (a) dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (b) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the United States syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any governmental authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the United States syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the applicable interest rate for each applicable Interest Period hereunder may be determined by such comparable alternate method designed to measure interest rates in a manner similar to the method in effect prior to LIBOR Rate’s unavailability, all as determined and selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (subject to the limitations set forth in this §4.5(b)). Any successor/replacement index and alternate methodology shall be an interest-based index, variations in the value of which can reasonably be expected to measure contemporaneous variations in the cost of newly borrowed funds in United States Dollars, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (subject to the limitations set forth in this §4.5(b)). In connection with the establishment and application of any successor/replacement index and alternate methodology, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, §26), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of the amendment to which such Lender objects), in which case the last sentence of §4.4 shall apply following such objection by the Required Lenders. In order to account for the relationship of the replacement index to the pre-existing and applicable LIBOR Rate, such alternate method, and the amendment referred to above, shall incorporate any additional spread or margin to any replacement index as is necessary, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, in an effort to ensure that the alternate method will measure interest rates in a manner similar to the pre-existing LIBOR Rate.
§4.6.Additional Costs, Etc. If any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged
- 48 -
with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Administrative Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law)(including, without limitation, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued: (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III) shall:
(a)subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitments or the Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Lender or the Administrative Agent), or
(b)materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
(c)impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Credit Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or
(d)impose on any Lender or the Administrative Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitments, or any class of loans, or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitments form a part;
and the result of any of the foregoing is
|
(i) |
to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitments, or any Letter of Credit, or |
|
(ii) |
to reduce the amount of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligation or other amount payable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitments or any of the Loans, or |
|
(iii) |
to require such Lender or the Administrative Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers hereunder, |
- 49 -
then, and in each such case, the Borrowers will, within thirty (30) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender such additional amounts as such Lender shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum, provided that such Lender is generally imposing similar charges on its other similarly situated borrowers.
§4.7.Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) regarding capital or liquidity requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a court or governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any Person controlling such Lender or the Administrative Agent with any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Person regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued including, without limitation: (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s Commitments with respect to any Loans to a level below that which such Lender or the Administrative Agent could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity and assuming full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent to be material, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower Representative of such fact. To the extent that the amount of such reduction in the return on capital is not reflected in the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent for the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined within thirty (30) days of presentation by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent of a certificate in accordance with §4.8 hereof. Each Lender shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis.
§4.8.Certificate. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to §§4.5, 4.6 or 4.7 and a brief explanation of such amounts (including the calculation thereof) which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Representative, shall be prima facie evidence that such amounts are due and owing.
§4.9.Indemnity. In addition to the other provisions of this Credit Agreement regarding such matters, but without duplication to the extent a Lender has been compensated pursuant thereto, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender and to hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including loss of anticipated profits) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure by the Borrowers to pay any
- 50 -
principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, (b) the failure by the Borrowers to make a borrowing or conversion after the Borrowers have given a Completed Revolving Credit Loan Request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Conversion Request for a LIBOR Rate Loan, and (c) the making of any payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan or the making of any conversion of any such Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by the Administrative Agent or a Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such LIBOR Rate Loans.
§4.10.Interest During Event of Default; Late Charges. During the continuance of an Event of Default, outstanding principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest on the Loans (including Swingline Loans) and all other amounts outstanding hereunder, including, without limitation, any fees applicable to Letters of Credit, or under any of the other Loan Documents shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the interest rate that would otherwise be applicable until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment). In addition, the Borrowers shall pay on demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any amount of principal and/or interest charges on the Loans (including Swingline Loans) which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due.
§4.11.Concerning Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.
(a)Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders under this Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.
(b)Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this §4.11), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several Obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.
(c)If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.
(d)The Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of this §4.11 constitute full recourse Obligations of each of the Borrowers enforceable against each such Person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement or any other circumstance whatsoever.
- 51 -
(e)Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, each of the Borrowers hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Loans made under this Credit Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Credit Agreement. Each of the Borrowers hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any of the Borrowers in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Credit Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any of the Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Borrowers assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Lenders with respect to the failure by any of the Borrowers to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this §4.11, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any of the Borrowers, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this §4.11, it being the intention of each of the Borrowers that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Borrowers under this §4.11 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each of the Borrowers under this §4.11 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, re-construction or similar proceeding with respect to any of the Borrowers or the Lenders. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any of the Borrowers or the Lenders.
(f)The provisions of this §4.11 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and may be enforced against any or all of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lenders first to marshal any of their claims or to exercise any of their rights against any other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to them against any other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this §4.11 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this §4.11 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.
§4.12.Interest Limitation. All agreements between the Borrowers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the Loans or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to
- 52 -
the Lenders for the use or the forbearance of the Loans exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Credit Agreement and other Loan Document shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of the Borrowers and the Guarantors and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in the execution, delivery and acceptance of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with the laws of the State of New York from time to time in effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents at the time of performance of such provision shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from any circumstances whatsoever any Lender should ever receive as interest any amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between the Borrowers and the Guarantors and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
§4.13.Reasonable Efforts to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause it to be affected under §§4.5, 4.6 or 4.7, such Lender will give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and, to the extent so requested by the Borrower Representative and not inconsistent with regulatory policies applicable to such Lender, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts and take such actions as are reasonably appropriate (including the changing of its lending office or branch) if as a result thereof the additional moneys which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to such sections would be reduced other than for de minimus amounts, or the illegality or other adverse circumstances which would otherwise require a conversion of such Loans or result in the inability to make such Loans pursuant to such sections would cease to exist, and in each case if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the taking such actions would not adversely affect such Loans.
§4.14.Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (i) makes demand upon the Borrowers for (or if the Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to §§4.5, 4.6 or 4.7, (ii) is unable to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in §4.5, or (iii) does not vote in favor of any amendment, modification or waiver to this Credit Agreement which, pursuant to §26, requires the vote of all of the Lenders or all affected Lenders, and the Required Lenders shall have voted in favor of such amendment, modification or waiver, the Borrower Representative may, within 90 days of receipt of such demand, notice or vote (or the occurrence of such other event causing the Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing §4.5 to be applicable or failure to obtain unanimous consent or approval required by §26) as the case may be, by notice (a “Replacement Notice”) in writing to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender (A) request the Affected Lender to cooperate with the Borrowers in obtaining a replacement lender satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (the “Replacement Lender”); (B) request the non-Affected Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments, to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under an obligation to
- 53 -
do so; or (C) designate a Replacement Lender which is an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent other than when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and absolutely satisfactory to the Administrative Agent when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or any of the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in accordance with §19, all of its Revolving Credit Commitment, Loans, Letter of Credit Participations, Notes and other rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents to such Replacement Lender or non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected Lender; provided, however, that (x) such assignment shall be in accordance with the provisions of §19, shall be without recourse, representation or warranty and shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Affected Lender and such Replacement Lender and/or non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, and (y) prior to any such assignment, the Borrowers shall have paid to such Affected Lender all amounts properly demanded and unreimbursed under §§4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.9.
(a)Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and §26.
(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to §13 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to §14 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, to Cash Collateralize the Administrative Agent’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with §5.11; fourth, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Credit Agreement and (y) if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, to Cash Collateralize the Administrative Agent’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Credit Agreement, in accordance with §5.11; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
- 54 -
Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in §12 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders holding the applicable Commitments (or Loans of the same class) on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and, as applicable, all unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to §4.15(a)(iv)). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this §4.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)Certain Fees.
(A) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Facility Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans funded by it, and (2) its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to §5.11.
(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral.
(C)With respect to any Facility Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of
- 55 -
any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Administrative Agent’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (in each case, calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second Cash Collateralize the Administrative Agent’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in §5.11.
(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments (without giving effect to §4.15(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)New Swingline Loans/New Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
- 56 -
§4.16 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Revolving Credit Lenders under §§2.1(b), 2.12(e) and 5.7 shall be made from the Revolving Credit Lenders, each payment of the fees under clause (ii) of §4.1, and each payment of the fees under the first sentence of §5.10 shall be made for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Credit Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans held by them, provided that, subject to §4.15, if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans shall not be held by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Credit Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans being held by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments; (c) each payment or prepayment of principal of Term Loans shall be made for the account of the Term Loan Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans held by them; (d) each payment of interest on Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (e) the Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans or Term Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by §§4.4 and 5.5) shall be made pro rata among the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (f) the Revolving Credit Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under §2.12, shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; and (i) the Revolving Credit Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under §5, shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to §2.12(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).
§5.1.Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the execution and delivery by the Borrowers of a letter of credit application on the Administrative Agent’s customary form (a “Letter of Credit Application”), the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders and in reliance upon the agreement of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in §5.4 and upon the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained herein, agrees, in its individual capacity, to issue, extend and renew for the account of the Borrowers one or more standby letters of credit (individually, a “Letter of Credit”), in such form as may be requested from time to time by the Borrowers and agreed to by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that, at all times, after giving effect to such request, (a)
- 57 -
the sum of the aggregate Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall not exceed $15,000,000 at any one time, and (b) the sum of (i) all L/C Obligations, and (ii) the amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans outstanding shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit to support or secure any Indebtedness of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred prior to the proposed issuance date of such Letter of Credit, unless in any such case the Borrowers demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that (x) such prior incurred Indebtedness was then fully secured by a prior perfected and unavoidable security interest in collateral provided by the Borrowers or such Subsidiary to the proposed beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or (y) such prior incurred Indebtedness was then secured or supported by a letter of credit issued for the account of the Borrowers or such Subsidiary and the reimbursement obligation with respect to such letter of credit was fully secured by a prior perfected and unavoidable security interest in collateral provided to the issuer of such letter of credit by the Borrowers or such Subsidiary. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall, from and after the Restatement Date, be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under this Credit Agreement and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
§5.2.Letter of Credit Applications. Each Letter of Credit Application shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent. In the event that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application shall be inconsistent with any provision of this Credit Agreement, then the provisions of this Credit Agreement shall, to the extent of any such inconsistency, govern.
§5.3.Terms of Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed hereunder shall, among other things, (a) provide for the payment of sight drafts for honor thereunder when presented in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein, and (b) have an expiry date of the earlier of (i) the date one (1) year from its date of issuance and (ii) the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the Administrative Agent but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as an “Extended Letter of Credit”), so long as the Borrowers deliver to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Maximum Drawing Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided, that the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect until no such Extended Letters of Credit remain outstanding. If the Borrowers fail to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the Maximum Drawing Amount of such Letter
- 58 -
of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with §5.4 and §5.5, with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed hereunder shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 or any successor version thereto adopted by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of its business as a letter of credit issuer and in effect at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit (the “Uniform Customs”) or, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, either the Uniform Customs or the International Standby Practices (ISP98), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, or any successor code of standby letter of credit practices among banks adopted by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of its business as a standby letter of credit issuer and in effect at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit.
§5.4.Reimbursement Obligations of Lenders. Each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees that it shall be absolutely liable, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any other condition precedent whatsoever or to the delivery of Cash Collateral in respect of any Extended Letter of Credit, to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for the amount of each draft paid by the Administrative Agent under each Letter of Credit to the extent that such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to §5.6 (such agreement for a Revolving Credit Lender being called herein the “Letter of Credit Participation” of such Lender).
§5.5.Participations of Lenders. Each payment made by a Lender pursuant to §5.4 above shall be treated as the purchase by such Revolving Credit Lender of a participating interest in the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligation under §5.6 in an amount equal to such payment. Each such Lender shall share in accordance with its participating interest in any interest which accrues pursuant to §5.6.
§5.6.Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. In order to induce the Administrative Agent to issue, extend and renew each Letter of Credit and the Revolving Credit Lenders to participate therein, the Borrowers hereby agree to reimburse or pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent or (as the case may be) the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed by the Administrative Agent hereunder,
(a)except as otherwise expressly provided in §5.6(b), on each date that any draft presented under such Letter of Credit is honored by the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent otherwise makes a payment with respect thereto, (i) the amount paid by the Administrative Agent under or with respect to such Letter of Credit, and (ii) the amount of any taxes, fees, charges or other costs and expenses whatsoever incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender in connection with any payment made by the Administrative Agent or any such Lender under, or with respect to, such Letter of Credit (it being understood that such payment to the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, be made from the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan made to the Borrowers pursuant to §2.4);
- 59 -
(b)upon the reduction (but not termination) of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment to an amount less than the Maximum Drawing Amount on all Letters of Credit, an amount equal to such difference, which amount shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for all L/C Obligations; and
(c)upon the termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, or the acceleration of the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit in accordance with §13, an amount equal to the then Maximum Drawing Amount on all Letters of Credit, which amount shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for all Reimbursement Obligations.
Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Head Office in immediately available funds or (in the case of clause (a) of this §5.6) from the direct application of the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to §2.4 hereof. In the event that the obligations of the Borrowers under §5.6(a) cannot, in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, be satisfied in full by the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.4, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowers, in which case the obligations of the Borrowers under §5.6(a) shall be immediately due and payable to the Administrative Agent. Interest on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrowers under this §5.6 at any time from the date such amounts become due and payable (whether as stated in this §5.6, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full (whether before or after judgment) shall be payable to the Administrative Agent on demand at the rate then in effect for overdue principal on the Revolving Credit Loans. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, all amounts payable by the Borrowers under this §5.6 as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default under §13.1(g) or (h) shall automatically become due and payable by the Borrowers without any notice or demand by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person.
§5.7.Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented or other demand for payment shall be made under any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of the date and amount of the draft presented or demand for payment and of the date and time when it expects to pay such draft or honor such demand for payment. If the Borrowers fail to reimburse the Administrative Agent as provided in §5.6 on or before the date that such draft is paid or other payment is made by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may at any time thereafter notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the amount of any such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. No later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day next following the receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, together with an amount equal to the product of (a) the average, computed for the period referred to in clause (c) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the Administrative Agent for federal funds acquired by the Administrative Agent during each day included in such period, times (b) the amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, times (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including the date the
- 60 -
Administrative Agent paid the draft presented for honor or otherwise made payment to the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation shall become immediately available to the Administrative Agent, and the denominator of which is 360. The responsibility of the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers and the Lenders shall be only to determine that the documents (including each draft) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of Credit.
§5.8.Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations under this §5 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrowers may have or have had against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrowers further agree with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligations under §5.6 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrowers, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrowers against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. The Borrowers agree that any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done in good faith, shall be binding upon the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the Borrowers.
§5.9.Reliance by Issuer. To the extent not inconsistent with §5.8, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Credit Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future holders of the Revolving Credit Notes or of a Letter of Credit Participation.
§5.10.Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay a fee, quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of the following quarter (a “Letter of Credit Fee”), to the Administrative Agent in respect of each Letter of Credit an amount equal to the product of (i) the Applicable
- 61 -
Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. The Borrowers shall pay a fee on the first Business Day of the following quarter following the date of issuance or any extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit, equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of each Letter of Credit so issued, extended or renewed for the account of the Administrative Agent, as a fronting fee. In respect of each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall also pay to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s own account, at such other time or times as such charges are customarily made by the Administrative Agent, including the Administrative Agent’s customary issuance, amendment, negotiation or document examination and other administrative fees as in effect from time to time.
§5.11.Cash Collateral.At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Administrative Agent’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to §4.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Fronting Exposure of the Administrative Agent with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time (the “Minimum Collateral Amount”).
(a)Grant of Security Interest. The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this §5.11 or §4.15 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(c)Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Administrative Agent’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this §5.11 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to §4.15 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Administrative Agent may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
- 62 -
§5.12.Extended Letters of Credit.Each Revolving Credit Lender confirms that its obligations under §5.4 and §5.5 shall be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise.

Except as set forth on Schedule 7.15, none of the officers, partners, directors, or employees of any Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries is presently a party to any transaction with any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, partner, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, partner, director, or any such employee or natural Person related to such officer, partner, director or employee or other Person in which such officer, partner, director or employee has a direct or indirect beneficial interest has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.
§7.16.1.In General. Each Employee Benefit Plan and each Guaranteed Pension Plan has been maintained and operated in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the Code, including but not limited to the provisions thereunder respecting prohibited transactions and the bonding of fiduciaries and other persons handling plan funds as required by Section 412 of ERISA. The Borrowers have heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent the most recently completed annual report, Form 5500, with all required attachments, and actuarial statement required to be submitted under Section 103(d) of ERISA, with respect to each Guaranteed Pension Plan. The expected post-retirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of each Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by Section 4980B of the Code) of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries is not material.
§7.16.2.Terminability of Welfare Plans. No Employee Benefit Plan, which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the
- 69 -
meaning of Section 3(1) or Section 3(2)(B) of ERISA, provides benefit coverage subsequent to termination of employment, except as required by Title I, Part 6 of ERISA or the applicable state insurance laws. The Borrowers may terminate each such employee welfare benefit plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of the Borrowers without liability to any Person other than for claims arising prior to termination.
§7.16.3.Guaranteed Pension Plans. Each contribution required to be made to a Guaranteed Pension Plan, whether required to be made to avoid the incurrence of an accumulated funding deficiency, the notice or lien provisions of Section 302(f) of ERISA, or otherwise, has been timely made. No waiver of an accumulated funding deficiency or extension of amortization periods has been received with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, and neither any Borrower or any Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate is obligated to or has posted security in connection with an amendment to a Guaranteed Pension Plan pursuant to Section 307 of ERISA or Section 401(a)(29) of the Code. No liability to the PBGC (other than required insurance premiums, all of which have been paid) has been incurred by any Borrower or any Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan and there has not been any ERISA Reportable Event (other than an ERISA Reportable Event as to which the requirement of thirty (30) days' notice has been waived), or any other event or condition which presents a material risk of termination of any Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC. Based on the latest valuation of each Guaranteed Pension Plan (which in each case occurred within twelve months of the date of this representation), and on the actuarial methods and assumptions employed for that valuation, the aggregate benefit liabilities of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans within the meaning of Section 4001 of ERISA did not exceed the aggregate value of the assets of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans, disregarding for this purpose the benefit liabilities and assets of any Guaranteed Pension Plan with assets in excess of benefit liabilities, by more than $500,000.
§7.16.4.Multiemployer Plans. Neither any Borrower nor any Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability (including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under Section 4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets described in Section 4204 of ERISA. Neither any Borrower nor any Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of Section 4241 or Section 4245 of ERISA or is at risk of entering reorganization or becoming insolvent, or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under Section 4041A of ERISA.

Notwithstanding that the representations contained herein are limited to the knowledge of the Borrowers, any such limitation shall not affect the covenants specified in §8.11 or elsewhere in this Credit Agreement.

§13.5.Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
(a)As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all L/C Obligations and the other Obligations, each Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any L/C Obligations until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section.
- 107 -
to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. |
(c)If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrowers and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment made by the Administrative Agent to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing. |
(d)If an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Required Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with §13.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to liquidate and release any such amounts if such liquidation or release would result in the amount available in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to be less than the Maximum Drawing Amount of all Extended Letters of Credit that remain outstanding. |
(e)So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower Representative, deliver to the Borrowers within ten (10) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower Representative, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations at such time. Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of an Extended Letter of Credit for which the Lenders reimbursed (or funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have occurred under the third sentence of §5.3 for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account but in respect of which the Revolving Credit Lenders have not otherwise received payment for the amount so reimbursed or funded, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Revolving Credit Lenders the amount so reimbursed or funded for such Extended Letter of Credit that remains in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid reimbursements or funded participations of the Revolving Credit Lenders in respect of such Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever. When all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. |
(f)The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein. |
- 108 -
§14.SET OFF. Borrowers and each Guarantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the Administrative Agent or any entity under the control of M&T Bank and its successors and assigns or in transit to any of them. Without demand or notice to the extent permitted by applicable law, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch at which such deposits are held, but specifically excluding tenant security deposits, other fiduciary accounts and other segregated escrow accounts required to be maintained by any of the Borrowers for the benefit of any third party) or other sums credited by or due from any of the Lenders to any of the Borrowers or any other property of any of the Borrowers in the possession of the Administrative Agent or a Lender may be applied to or set off against the payment of the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF ANY BORROWER OR GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that (a) if pursuant to any agreement between such Lender and any Borrower (other than this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document), an amount to be set off is to be applied to Indebtedness of any Borrower to such Lender, other than with respect to the Obligations, such amount shall be applied ratably to such other Indebtedness and to the Obligations, and (b) if such Lender shall receive from any Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the Obligations by proceedings against such Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise, as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it or Reimbursement Obligations owed it, its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Credit Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise a right of setoff if such exercise would limit or prevent the exercise of any other remedy or other recourse against any Borrower, and in any event, without the consent of the Administrative Agent.
- 109 -
(b)Each Borrower and each Guarantor, without further inquiry or investigation, shall, and is hereby authorized by the Lenders to, assume that all actions taken by the Administrative Agent hereunder and in connection with or under the Loan Documents are duly authorized by the Lenders. The Lenders shall notify the Borrowers of any successor to Administrative Agent by a writing signed by Required Lenders, which successor shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. |
- 110 -
request delivered to it by any Borrower or any Guarantor or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Administrative Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the credit worthiness or financial condition of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Guarantor or any of the Subsidiaries or any tenant under a Lease or any other entity. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement. |
(a)The Administrative Agent agrees to distribute to each applicable Lender such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, as provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. All such payments shall be made on the date received, if before 1:00 p.m., and if after 1:00 p.m., on the next Business Day. If payment is not made on the day received, interest thereon at the overnight federal funds effective rate shall be paid pro rata to the Lenders entitled to such payments. |
(b)If in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in material liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that interest thereon at the overnight federal funds effective rate shall be paid pro rata to the Lenders who would otherwise be entitled to such distribution. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. |
- 111 -
- 112 -
determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this §15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement. Any resignation by an Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation as the issuer of Letters of Credit and Swingline Lender by the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent (the “Resigning Lender”). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder (i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of the issuer of Letters of Credit and the Swingline Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the successor Administrative Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the Resigning Lender outstanding at the time of such succession (which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. |
(a)In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial, administrative or like proceeding or any assignment for the benefit of creditors relative to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation or Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding, under any such assignment or otherwise: |
- 113 -
|
advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under §§2.3, 3.3, 4.1, 5.10, and 16) allowed in such proceeding or under any such assignment; and |
|
(ii)for itself and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement. |
(b)Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding or under any such assignment is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, nevertheless to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under §§2.3, 3.3, 4.1, 5.10, and 16. |
(c)Nothing contained herein shall authorize the Administrative Agent to consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations owed to such Lender or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding or under any such assignment. |

§17.INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Agents and Lenders and the shareholders, directors, agents, counsel, professional advisors, officers, subsidiaries and Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders (each group consisting of an Agent or a Lender and its respective shareholders, directors, agents, counsel, professional advisors, officers, subsidiaries and Affiliates being an “Indemnified Lender’s Group”) from and against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, settlement payments, obligations, damages and expenses of every nature and character, arising out of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or which otherwise arise in connection with the financing, including, without limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of any of the Loans, (b) any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Guarantor entering into or performing this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (c) pursuant to §8.17 hereof, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated under this §17 to indemnify any Person for liabilities to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or of any other Person in the Indemnified Lender’s Group of which such Person is a member (but such indemnification shall continue to apply to all other Persons including all other Indemnified Lender’s Groups). Each Person to be indemnified under this §17 shall give the Borrowers notice of any claim as to which it is seeking indemnification under this §17 promptly after becoming aware of the same (which shall constitute notice for all Indemnified Lender’s Groups), but such Person’s failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this §17 unless such failure prejudices the legal rights of the Borrowers regarding such indemnity. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrowers under this §17 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The provisions of this §17 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the possibility of any such claim, action, cause of action or suit exists.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to §19.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption and upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit 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 Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of §4.6, §16 and §17 and the other provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with §19.4.

None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrowers to review or inform the Borrowers of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrowers’ business or operations.

REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
$____________ |
_______ ___, 2018 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned LIFE STORAGE, INC., a Maryland corporation (“LSI”), and the undersigned LIFE STORAGE LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“LSLP” and together with LSI, collectively referred to herein as the “Borrowers” and individually as a “Borrower”), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of _______________, [a national banking association] (the “Lender”) at the Administrative Agent’s Head Office (as defined in the Credit Agreement defined below):
(a) prior to or on the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date the principal amount of _________________ Dollars ($_______________) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans advanced by the Lender to the Borrowers pursuant to the Seventh Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of October 30, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrowers, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company and the other lending institutions which are or may become parties thereto pursuant to §19 thereof (the “Lenders”) and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as administrative agent (together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”); and
(b) interest on the principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding at the times and at the rate provided in the Credit Agreement.
This Revolving Credit Note, together with the other Revolving Credit Notes issued as of the date hereof under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Substitute Revolving Credit Notes”), are issued in substitution for the unpaid principal balances outstanding under all of the Revolving Credit Notes previously issued by the Borrower under the Sixth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of December 10, 2014 (the “2014 Revolving Credit Notes”), which 2014 Revolving Credit Notes are outstanding as of the date hereof. Up to the full amount of the principal balances of the Substitute Revolving Credit Notes, the principal balances outstanding under the 2014 Revolving Credit Notes shall continue in all respects to be outstanding under the Substitute Revolving Credit Notes, and this Revolving Credit Note shall not be deemed to evidence a novation or payment and refunding of any part of the outstanding principal balances under the 2014 Revolving Credit Notes. Notwithstanding the date of this Revolving Credit Note, the Substitute Revolving Credit Notes carry all of the rights to unpaid interest that were carried by the 2014 Revolving Credit Notes such that no loss of interest shall result from any such substitution.
This Revolving Credit Note evidences borrowings under and has been issued by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Lender and any holder hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement or by operation of law is entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained therein, and any holder hereof may exercise the respective remedies provided

The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on the grid attached to this Revolving Credit Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including computer records, maintained by the Lender with respect to any Revolving Credit Loans shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on any such grid, continuation or other record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under the Credit Agreement to make payments of principal of and interest on this Revolving Credit Note when due to the extent of the unpaid principal and interest amount as of any date of determination.

[Form of Term Loan Note]
TERM NOTE
$______________________ ___, 2018
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned LIFE STORAGE, INC., a Maryland corporation (“LSI”), and the undersigned LIFE STORAGE LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“LSLP” and together with LSI, collectively referred to herein as the “Borrowers” and individually as a “Borrower”), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of _______________, [a national banking association] (the “Lender”) at the Administrative Agent’s Head Office (as defined in the Credit Agreement defined below):
(a)prior to or on the Term Maturity Date the principal amount of __________ Dollars ($__________) which principal amount is the portion of the Term Loan advanced by the Lender to the Borrowers pursuant to the Seventh Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of October 30, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrowers, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company and the other lending institutions which are or may become parties thereto pursuant to §19 thereof (the “Lenders”) and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as administrative agent (together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”);
(b)the principal outstanding hereunder from time to time at the times provided in the Credit Agreement; and
(c)interest from the date hereof on the principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding at the times and at the rate or rates provided in the Credit Agreement and any other sums or fees due thereunder, all in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
This Term Note, together with the other Term Notes issued as of the date hereof under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Substitute Term Notes”), are issued in substitution for the unpaid principal balances outstanding under all of the Term Notes previously issued by the Borrower under the Sixth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of December 10, 2014 (the “2014 Term Notes”), which 2014 Term Notes are outstanding as of the date hereof. Up to the full amount of the principal balances of the Substitute Term Notes, the principal balances outstanding under the 2014 Term Notes shall continue in all respects to be outstanding under the Substitute Term Notes, and this Term Note shall not be deemed to evidence a novation or payment and refunding of any part of the outstanding principal balances under the 2014 Term Notes. Notwithstanding the date of this Term Note, the Substitute Term Notes carry all of the rights to unpaid interest that were carried by the 2014 Term Notes such that no loss of interest shall result from any such substitution.
This Term Note evidences Term Loan borrowings under and has been issued by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Lender and any holder hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement or by operation of law is entitled to the benefits of the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained therein, and any holder hereof may exercise the respective remedies provided for thereby or otherwise available in respect thereof, all in accordance with the respective terms thereof. All capitalized terms used in this Term Note and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrowers irrevocably authorize the Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of the Term Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal of this Term Note, an appropriate notation on the grid attached to this Term Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including computer records, reflecting the making of such Term Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Term Loan set forth on the grid attached to this Term Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including computer records, maintained by the Lender with respect to the Term Loan shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on any such grid, continuation or other record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under the Credit Agreement to make payments of principal of and interest on this Term Note when due to the extent of the unpaid principal and interest amount as of any date of determination.
The Borrowers have the right in certain circumstances and the obligation under certain other circumstances to prepay the whole or part of the principal of this Term Note on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.
If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Term Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued thereon and any other charges or amounts due under any of the Loan Documents may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Credit Agreement.
No delay or omission on the part of the Lender, or any holder hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other rights of the Lender or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any further occasion.
The Borrowers and every endorser and guarantor of this Term Note or the obligations represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Term Note, and assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable.
THIS TERM NOTE AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS HEREUNDER SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW). EACH OF THE BORROWERS AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS TERM NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON

[FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY]
GUARANTY
This Guaranty, dated as of October 30, 2018 by each of the undersigned and the other Persons from time to time party hereto pursuant to the execution and delivery of a joinder agreement in the form of Annex I hereto (all of the undersigned, together with such other Persons, each, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), is made in favor of Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”) for itself and the Lenders (as defined herein) under the Seventh Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of October 30, 2018, among Life Storage, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“LSI”), Life Storage LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“LSLP” and together with LSI, collectively referred to herein as the “Borrowers”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company and the other lending institutions which are or may become parties thereto pursuant to §19 thereof (collectively, the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders have entered into the Credit Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Borrowers and each Guarantor are members of a group of related entities, the success of either one of which is dependent in part on the success of the other members of such group;
WHEREAS, each Guarantor expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the extensions of credit to the Borrowers by the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement (which benefits are hereby acknowledged);
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ willingness to extend, and to continue to extend, credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty; and
WHEREAS, each Guarantor wishes to guaranty the Borrowers’ obligations to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under and in respect of the Credit Agreement as herein provided.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1.Guaranty of Payment and Performance of Obligations. In consideration of the Lenders’ extending credit or otherwise in their discretion giving time, financial or banking facilities or accommodations to the Borrowers, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that the Borrowers will duly and punctually pay or perform, at the place specified therefor, or if no place is specified, at the Administrative Agent’s Head Office, (i) all Obligations and all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers to any of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, individually or collectively, under the Credit Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of any of the Loans or the Notes or other instruments at any time evidencing any thereof, whether existing on the date of the Credit Agreement or arising or incurred thereafter, direct or indirect, secured or unsecured, joint or several, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, arising by contract, operation of law or otherwise; and (ii) without limitation of the foregoing, all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in attempting to collect or enforce any of the foregoing, accrued in each case to the date of payment hereunder (collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations” and individually a “Guaranteed Obligation”). This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and not of their collectibility only and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that any Lender or the Administrative Agent first attempt to collect any of the Guaranteed Obligations from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or resort to any security or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations which any Lender or the Administrative Agent now has or may acquire after the date hereof or upon any other contingency whatsoever. Upon any Event of Default which is continuing by the Borrowers in the full and punctual payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, the liabilities and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, become forthwith due and payable to the Administrative Agent and to the Lender or Lenders owed the same without demand or notice of any nature, all of which are expressly waived by each Guarantor, except for notices required to be given to the Borrowers under the Loan Documents. Payments by each Guarantor hereunder may be required by any Lender or the Administrative Agent on any number of occasions.
2.Guarantor’s Further Agreements to Pay. Each Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to each Lender and the Administrative Agent forthwith upon demand, in funds immediately available to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, all costs and expenses (including court costs and legal fees and expenses) incurred or expended by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with this Guaranty and the enforcement hereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Guaranty from the time after such amounts become due at the default rate of interest set forth in the Credit Agreement; provided that if such interest exceeds the maximum amount permitted to be paid under applicable law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount.
3.Payments. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with their respective terms regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation shall not be discharged by a payment in a currency other than the currency in which the Guaranteed Obligation is denominated (the “Obligation Currency”) or at a place other than the place specified for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligation, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Obligation Currency and transferred to New York, New York, U.S.A., under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of Obligation Currency due thereunder.
4.Taxes.
(a)All payments hereunder shall be made without any counterclaim or set-off, free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, levies, imposts, charges and withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature (“Taxes”), which are now or may
-2-
hereafter be imposed, levied or assessed by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (or any non-United States jurisdiction in which there is Real Estate) on payments hereunder, all of which will be for the account of and paid by each Guarantor. Subject to paragraph (b), if for any reason, any such reduction is made or any Taxes are paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (except for taxes on income or profits of such Administrative Agent or Lender), Guarantors will pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives the same net amount which it would have received had no reduction been made or Taxes paid.
(b)No Guarantor shall be required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender that is not incorporated or organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof or the District of Columbia (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) in respect of United States Federal withholding tax to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to the Credit Agreement or, with respect to payments to a different lending office designated by the Non-U.S. Lender as its applicable lending office (a “New Lending Office”), the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to the Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement); provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to any transferee or New Lending Office as a result of an assignment, transfer or designation made at the request of the Borrowers; and provided further, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any transferee, or Lender through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive without regard to this clause (i) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the entity making the assignment or transfer to such transferee, or Lender making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, transfer or designation; or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to deliver completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 or to comply with all the other requirements of §4.2(c) of the Credit Agreement.
5.Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Guarantor agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York, New York or any federal court sitting in New York, New York and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and the service of process in any such suit being made upon such Guarantor by mail at the address specified herein. Except to the extent such waiver is expressly prohibited by law, each Guarantor hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court.
6.Liability of the Guarantor. The Administrative Agent and each Lender have and shall have the absolute right to enforce the liability of each Guarantor hereunder without resort to any other right or remedy including any right or remedy under any other guaranty, and the release or discharge of any guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations shall not affect the continuing liability of such Guarantor hereunder.
7.Representations and Warranties; Covenants. Each Guarantor hereby makes and confirms the representations and warranties made on its behalf by the Borrowers pursuant to §7 of the Credit Agreement, as if such representations and warranties were set forth herein. Each Guarantor hereby agrees to perform the covenants set forth in §§8 and 9 of the Credit Agreement
-3-
(to the extent such covenants expressly apply to the Guarantor) as if such covenants were set forth herein. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it is, on a collective basis with the Borrowers and all other “Guarantors” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), bound by the covenants set forth in §9 of the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor hereby confirms that it shall be bound by all acts or omissions of the Borrower Representative pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
8.Effectiveness. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect and shall remain in operation until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied, and continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Borrowers, or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations by reason of applicable bankruptcy laws or any other similar law, or by reason of any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Guaranteed Obligations, shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty.
9.Freedom of Lender to Deal with Borrowers and Other Parties. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of any Guarantor and without relieving the Guarantors of any liability hereunder, to deal with the Borrowers and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in such manner as the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end each Guarantor gives to the Administrative Agent and each Lender full authority in its sole discretion to do any or all of the following things: (a) extend credit, make loans and afford other financial accommodations to the Borrowers at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may approve, (b) vary the terms and grant extensions of any present or future indebtedness or obligation of the Borrowers or of any other party to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, (c) grant time, waivers and other indulgences in respect thereto, (d) vary, exchange, release or discharge, wholly or partially, or delay in or abstain from perfecting and enforcing any security or guaranty or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations which the Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or may acquire after the date hereof, (e) accept partial payments from the Borrowers or any such other party, (f) release or discharge, wholly or partially, any endorser or guarantor, and (g) compromise or make any settlement or other arrangement with the Borrowers or any such other party.
10.Unenforceability of Guaranteed Obligations Against Borrowers; Invalidity of Security or Other Guaranties. If for any reason the Borrowers have no legal existence or are under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations undertaken or purported to be undertaken by it or on its behalf, or if any of the moneys included in the Guaranteed Obligations have become irrecoverable from the Borrowers by operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on each Guarantor to the same extent as if such Guarantor at all times had been the principal debtor on all such Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security.
11.Waivers by Guarantor. Each Guarantor waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance hereon, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender be diligent or prompt in making
-4-
demands hereunder, giving notice of any default by the Borrowers or asserting any other rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder. Each Guarantor also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all defenses in the nature of suretyship that at any time may be available in respect of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect.
12.Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained herein or provided by applicable law, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and satisfied in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have at any time (whether arising directly or indirectly, by operation of law or by contract) to assert any claim against the Borrowers on account of payments made under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any and all rights of or claims for subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration and indemnity, and further waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral which may be held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. In addition, no Guarantor will claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrowers in respect of any liability it may have to the Borrowers unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and satisfied in full.
13.Demands. Any demand on or notice made or required to be given pursuant to this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be delivered in hand, mailed by United States registered or certified first class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, sent by overnight courier, or sent by telegraph, telecopy, telefax or telex and confirmed by delivery via courier or postal service, addressed as follows:

14.Amendments, Waivers, Etc. No provision of this Guaranty can be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor expressly referring to the provision of this Guaranty to which such instrument relates; and no such waiver shall extend to, affect or impair any right with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation which is not expressly dealt with therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.
15.Further Assurances. Each Guarantor at its sole cost and expense agrees to do all such things and execute, acknowledge and deliver all such documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent from time to time may reasonably request in order to give full effect to this Guaranty and to perfect and preserve the rights and powers of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder.
16.Reinstatement of Guaranteed Obligations. If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such Lender repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such Lender with any such claimant (including either Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for either Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any of the Loan Documents and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such Lender.
17.Miscellaneous Provisions. This Guaranty is intended to take effect as a sealed instrument to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and its respective successors in title and assigns permitted under the Credit Agreement, and shall be binding on each Guarantor and such Guarantor’s successors in title, assigns and legal representatives. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more sections of this Guaranty shall not affect the validity or enforceability of its remaining provisions. Captions are for ease of
-6-

No delay or omission on the part of the Lender or any holder hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other rights of the Lender or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any further occasion.
The Borrowers and every endorser and guarantor of this Swingline Note or the obligation represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Swingline Note, and assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable.
