Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment in connection with a presentation of documents under such Facility LC, the LC Issuer shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by the LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”). The responsibility of the LC Issuer to the Borrower and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC. The LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Issuer, each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse the LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by the LC Issuer under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3.6 below, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of the LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (Louisville time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances.

2.3.6 Reimbursement by Borrower. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither the Borrower nor any

 

24


Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC. All such amounts paid by the LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date. The LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from the Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by the LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to the LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.3.5. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section 2.10 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), the Borrower may request an Advance hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.

2.3.7 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Facility LC. The Borrower further agrees with the LC Issuer and the Lenders that the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC 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 Borrower, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee. The LC Issuer 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 Facility LC. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put the LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.3.7 is intended to limit the right of the Borrower to make a claim against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.3.6.

2.3.8 Actions of LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, 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 LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, the LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this 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 any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC.

 

25


2.3.9 Indemnification. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the LC Issuer and the Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which the LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to the LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against any defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of the LC Issuer issuing any Facility LC which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Facility LC does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to the LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC complied with the terms of such Facility LC. Nothing in this Section 2.3.9 is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.

2.3.10 Lenders’ Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.3 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

2.3.11 Facility LC Collateral Account. The Borrower agrees that it will, upon the request of the Agent or the Required Lenders and until the final expiration date of any Facility LC and thereafter as long as any amount is payable to the LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Facility LC, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Agent (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”) at the Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuer and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, and the LC Issuer, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations. The Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of JPMorgan having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Nothing in this Section 2.3.11 shall either obligate the Agent to require the Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account or limit the right of the Agent to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account in each case other than as required by Section 8.1.

2.3.12 Rights as a Lender. In its capacity as a Lender, the LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.

2.4 Required Payments; Termination. Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date.

 

26


2.5 Ratable Loans. Each Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made from the several Lenders ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares.

2.6 Types and Number of Eurodollar Advances. The Advances may be Floating Rate Advances or Eurodollar Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.10 and 2.11, or Swing Line Loans selected by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2. The Borrower may have no more than eight (8) Eurodollar Advances outstanding at any one time.

2.7 Commitment Fee; Reductions in Aggregate Commitment. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in arrears at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Fee Rate in effect from time to time on the average daily Available Aggregate Commitment of such Lender from the date hereof to and including the Facility Termination Date, payable on each Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility Termination Date. Swing Line Loans shall not count as usage of any Lender’s Commitment for the purpose of calculating the commitment fee due hereunder. In addition, on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the ratable account of the lenders then party to the Previous Credit Agreement, the accrued and unpaid commitment fees under the Previous Credit Agreement through Closing Date. The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders in integral multiples of $5,000,000, upon at least one Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. All accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions hereunder.

2.8 Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Eurodollar Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance (other than an advance to repay Swing Line Loans) shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), provided, however, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the Available Aggregate Commitment.

2.9 Optional Principal Payments. The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) upon one Business Day’s prior notice to the Agent. The Borrower may at any time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or, in a minimum amount of $100,000 and increments of $50,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, with notice to the Agent and the Swing Line Lender by 11:00 a.m. (Louisville Time) on the date of repayment. The Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Eurodollar Advances or any portion of the outstanding Eurodollar Advances upon three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent.

2.10 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. Each Type of Advance shall bear interest according to its Type, from the date the Advance is made until it is repaid. The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Louisville time) at least one Business Day before the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance and three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance, specifying:

 

  (i) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

 

  (ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance,

 

27


  (iii) the Type of Advance selected, and

 

  (iv) in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Louisville time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans in funds immediately available in Louisville to the Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. The Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address.

2.11 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.11 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.9. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.9 or (y) the Borrower shall have given the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.10, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) into a Eurodollar Advance. The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. (Louisville time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

 

  (i) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation,

 

  (ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued, and

 

  (iii) the amount of such Advance which is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.12 Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.11, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Agent as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance based upon the Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.10 and 2.11 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date.

2.13 Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower

 

28


(which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum, and (ii) each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum and (iii) the LC Fee shall be increased by 2% per annum, provided that, during the continuance of a Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7, the interest rates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above and the increase in the LC Fee set forth in clause (iii) above shall be applicable to all Credit Extensions without any election or action on the part of the Agent or any Lender.

2.14 Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Agent at the Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent specified in writing by the Agent to the Borrower, by noon (local time) on the date when due and shall (except with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans, and in the case of Reimbursement Obligations for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Agent among the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender, in the same type of funds that the Agent received, at such Lender’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with JPMorgan for each payment of principal, interest Reimbursement Obligations and fees as it becomes due hereunder. Each reference to the Agent in this Section 2.14 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrower to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3.6.

2.15 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.

 

  (i) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

 

  (ii) The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (a) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if applicable) with respect thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (c) the original stated amount of each Facility LC and the amount of LC Obligations outstanding at any time, and (d) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

 

  (iii) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

 

  (iv)

Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, promissory notes representing its Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, respectively, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans (each, a “Note”). In such event, the Agent shall prepare and forward to the Borrower for execution and delivery to such Lender a Note or Notes payable to the order

 

29


 

of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by each such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.

2.16 Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation signed by an Authorized Officer, if such confirmation is requested by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

2.17 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on each date set forth in the Working Cash Sweep Rider, on any date on which the Floating Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and on the Facility Termination Date. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a Eurodollar Advance on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and on the Facility Termination Date. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest, Commitment Fees and LC Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except for interest payable on Advances at the Alternate Base Rate which shall accrue on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.18 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. Promptly after notice from the LC Issuer, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Facility LC hereunder. The Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.19 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans and its participation in any LC Obligations and the LC Issuer may book the Facility LCs at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Facility LCs are to be made.

 

30


2.20 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

2.21 Replacement of Lender. If the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or if any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Floating Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 (any Lender so affected an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged, if such Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.3 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

2.22 Increase in Commitments.

2.22.1 Amount of Increase in Commitments. The Borrower may at any time, with the consent of the Agent but without the consent of the Lenders except as provided in Sections 2.22.2 and 2.22.5(i), increase the Aggregate Commitment up to an amount not to exceed $375,000,000, subject to satisfaction of each and all of the requirements contained in this Section 2.22.

2.22.2 Eligibility. Each Lender who provides an increase in the Aggregate Commitment (each a “New Commitment Provider”) shall be either an existing Lender at the time of the increase (each an “Existing Lender”) or a financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower (and the Borrower’s acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) that is not then currently a Lender (each a “New Lender”).

2.22.3 Notice. The Borrower and the Agent jointly shall notify the Lenders at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the date (“Commitment Increase Effective Date”) any increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall become effective. Such notice shall state the amount of the increase in the Aggregate Commitment, the names of the Lenders providing the additional Commitments and the Commitment Increase Effective Date.

 

31


2.22.4 Minimum Amount. Any increase in the Aggregate Commitment provided by any individual Lender shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

2.22.5 Implementation of Increase. On the Commitment Increase Effective Date:

 

  (i) Joinder. Each New Commitment Provider shall execute and deliver to the Agent two Business Days prior to the Commitment Increase Effective Date a Joinder in the form attached as Exhibit L (“Lender Joinder”), which shall become effective on the Commitment Increase Effective Date. The Lender Joinder shall set forth the Commitment provided by the New Commitment Provider if it is a New Lender and the new amount of the Commitment and the increase in the Commitment to be provided if it is an Existing Lender. If the New Commitment Provider is a New Lender it shall on the Effective Date join and become a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender for all purposes hereunder and thereunder, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.22, having a Commitment as set forth in the Lender Joinder tendered by the same. Any Lender whose Commitment shall remain unaffected shall be deemed to have consented and agreed to such Lender Joinder.

 

  (ii) Floating Rate Loans. Each New Commitment Provider shall (i) purchase from the other Lenders such New Commitment Provider’s Pro Rata Share in any Floating Rate Loans outstanding on the Commitment Increase Effective Date, and (ii) share ratably in all Floating Rate Loans borrowed by the Borrower after the Commitment Increase Effective Date.

 

  (iii) Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each New Commitment Provider shall (a) purchase from the other Lenders such New Commitment Provider’s Pro Rata Share in each outstanding Eurodollar Loan on the date on which the Borrower either renews its Eurodollar Loan election with respect to the Eurodollar Loan in question or converts such Eurodollar Loan to a Floating Rate Loan, provided that the New Commitment Providers shall not purchase an interest in such Loans from the other Lenders on the Commitment Increase Effective Date (unless the Commitment Increase Effective Date is a renewal or conversion date, as applicable, in which case the preceding sentence shall apply), and (b) shall participate in all new Eurodollar Loans borrowed by the Borrower on and after the Commitment Increase Effective Date.

 

  (iv) Facility LCs. Each New Commitment Provider shall participate in all Facility LCs outstanding on the Commitment Increase Effective Date according to its Pro Rata Share and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

  (v) Limit on Amount. Any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22 may not cause the total amount of the Commitments to exceed the amount specified in Section 2.22.1.

 

32


  (vi) No Default or Unmatured Default; Representations and Warranties. There shall exist no Default or Unmatured Default on the Commitment Increase Effective Date. Without limiting that sentence, the representations and warranties contained in Article V must be true and correct in all material respects as of such Commitment Increase Effective Date except to the extent any such representation is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date. If a Default or Unmatured Default exists on such Commitment Increase Effective Date, or such representations and warranties are not true and correct to the extent and as required in the second sentence of this Section 2.22.5(vi), the Borrower shall not request an increase of, and may not increase, the Aggregate Commitment.

 

  (vii) No Obligation. No Existing Lender shall be required to increase its Commitment in the event that the Borrower asks such Existing Lender to provide all or a portion of any increase in the Aggregate Commitment desired by the Borrower.

2.23 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.7;

(b) the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.2); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c) if any Swing Line Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Swing Line Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Outstanding Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Line Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3.11 for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.23(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.7 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

 

33


(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.23(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.7 and 2.3.4 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares; or

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.23(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the LC Issuer or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.3.4 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the LC Issuer until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Facility LC, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.23(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Facility LC or newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.23(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Agent, the Borrower, the LC Issuer and the Swing Line Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans) as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

ARTICLE III

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

3.1 Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

 

  (i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender or the LC Issuer in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or

 

  (ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances), or

 

34


  (iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans, or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer in connection with its Eurodollar Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurodollar Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, in connection with such Eurodollar Loans, Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or the LC Issuer determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or the LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Lender or the LC Issuer or any corporation controlling such Lender or the LC Issuer is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender or the LC Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender or the LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Facility LCs, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender or the LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or the LC Issuer or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender or the LC Issuer. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Advances and require any affected Eurodollar Advances to be repaid or converted to Floating Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4.

3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance.

 

35


3.5 Taxes.

 

  (i) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent hereunder or under any Note or Facility LC Application shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

 

  (ii) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or Facility LC Application or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note or any Facility LC Application (“Other Taxes”).

 

  (iii) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent, the LC Issuer and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender as a result of its Commitment, any Loans made by it hereunder, or otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.

 

  (iv)

Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to the Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation)

 

36


 

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 Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

 

  (v) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (iv), above, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.

 

  (vi) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

 

  (vii) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

3.6 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Loan Parties jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Agent and the Lenders that:

5.1 Existence and Standing. Each of the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership (in the case of Subsidiaries only) or limited liability company duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its respective business in each jurisdiction in which its respective business is conducted and where the failure to do so would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2 Authorization and Validity. Each Loan Party has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate or limited liability company proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which the Loan Party is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the applicable Loan Party enforceable against the applicable Loan Party in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

5.3 No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by a Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation by it of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof by it will violate (i) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on any such Loan Party or (ii) any such Loan Party’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating or other management agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which any such Loan Party is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or except for the Liens required by the terms of Loan Documents, result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of any such Loan Party pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. Except for the recordation of any applicable Collateral Documents with any applicable governmental authority, no order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by any Loan Party, is required to be obtained by any Loan Party in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and performance by the Borrower of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the parties to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents acknowledge that (i) the transfer, assignment, change of ownership or interest, foreclosure or realization on any of the Collateral or the membership interests of CDMC or (ii) any transfer, assignment, or change of ownership or interest in any pari-mutuel permits or licenses must comply with applicable law, which may require prior approval by the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering or comparable governmental authority in the applicable State.

 

41


5.4 Financial Statements. The December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements of the Loan Parties heretofore delivered to the Lenders were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date such statements were prepared and fairly present the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Loan Parties at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended.

5.5 Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2008 there has been no change in the business, Property, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Loan Parties taken as a whole, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.6 Taxes. Each Loan Party has filed all United States federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and has paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by such Loan Party, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles and as to which no Lien exists. The United States income tax returns of each Loan Party and the other Loan Parties have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and an audit for fiscal years 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 is ongoing. No tax liens have been filed and, except as more particularly described in the Borrower’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009, no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The Illinois State tax returns of the Borrower are currently being audited for fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each Loan Party in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

5.7 Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting any Loan Party which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Credit Extensions. Other than any liability incident to any litigation, arbitration or proceeding which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Loan Parties have no material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4.

5.8 Subsidiaries. Schedule 1 contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties as of the date of this Agreement, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of organization and the percentage of their respective capital stock or other ownership interests owned by each Loan Party. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of such Subsidiaries have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

5.9 ERISA. Except for any Multiemployer Plan, none of the Loan Parties sponsors or contributes to a Plan that is covered by Title IV of ERISA or that is subject to the minimum funding standards under Section 412 of the Code. Neither any Loan Party nor any other member of the Controlled Group has incurred, or is reasonably expected to incur, any withdrawal liability to Multiemployer Plans in excess of $10,000,000 in the aggregate. No Loan Party has any knowledge that any Plan fails to comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulation. Neither the Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group has withdrawn from any Plan or initiated steps to do so, and no steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Plan.

5.10 Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished by the Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties to the Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any misstatement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

 

42


5.11 Regulation U. Margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of the Loan Parties which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder.

5.12 Material Agreements. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i) any agreement to which it is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness.

5.13 Compliance With Laws. The Loan Parties have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property except for any failure to comply with any of the foregoing which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.14 Ownership of Properties.

ARTICLE VIII

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 Acceleration; Facility LC Collateral Account.

 

  (i) If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender and the Borrower will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay to the Collateral Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the Facility LC Collateral Account, equal to the difference of (x) the amount of LC Obligations at such time, less (y) the amount on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account at such time which is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations (such difference, the “Collateral Shortfall Amount”). If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives, and (b) upon notice to the Borrower and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Collateral Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.

 

62


  (ii) If at any time while any Default is continuing, the Agent determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Agent may make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Collateral Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.

 

  (iii) The Collateral Agent may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lenders or the LC Issuer.

 

  (iv) At any time while any Default is continuing, neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account. After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, any funds remaining in the Facility LC Collateral Account shall be distributed to Borrower or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time.

 

  (v) If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

 

  (vi) The Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise the remedies and other rights with respect to the Collateral provided in and subject to the Collateral Documents.

8.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby:

 

  (i) Extend the final maturity of any Loan, or extend the expiry date of any Facility LC, in each case applicable to such Lender to a date after the Facility Termination Date or postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan of such Lender or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof or any Reimbursement Obligation related thereto, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or Reimbursement Obligation related thereto.

 

  (ii) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders.

 

63


  (iii) Extend the Facility Termination Date applicable to such Lender, or reduce the amount or extend the payment date for, the mandatory payments required under Section 2.4, or increase the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, except as provided in Section 2.22, or of the Commitment of such Lender hereunder or the commitment to issue Facility LCs, or permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement.

 

  (iv) Amend this Section 8.2.

 

  (v) Release all or substantially all of the Guarantors except as provided in Section 6.12(iii) or, except as provided in the Collateral Documents, agree to subordinate the Lenders’ Liens with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral.

 

  (vi) Release all or substantially all of the Collateral, provided that the Lenders acknowledge that the Agent may alone instruct the Collateral Agent to release any Collateral as and to the extent provided in Section 10.16.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Agent, and no amendment of any provision relating to the LC Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of the LC Issuer. The Agent may (i) waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3.3 and (ii) implement any flex pricing provisions contained in the fee letter described in Section 10.13 or any commitment letter delivered in connection with the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as, in the case of any implementation of any flex-pricing provisions, the Agent’s actions would not require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section.

8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuer, the Agent or the Collateral Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent, the LC Issuer, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.

ARTICLE IX

The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that the Arranger shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.6, 9.10 and 10.11 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.

The Borrower acknowledges that from time to time the Agent may prepare and may distribute to the Lenders (but shall have no obligation or duty to prepare or to distribute to the Lenders) certain audit reports (the “Reports”) and/or the Collateral Agent may prepare and distribute Reports to the Agent (but the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or duty to prepare or distribute such Reports, nor shall the Agent have any obligation or duty to distribute such Reports to the Lenders as it may receive from the Collateral Agent) pertaining to the Borrower’s Property for internal use by the Agent from information furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, after the Agent or the Collateral Agent has exercised its rights of inspection pursuant to this Agreement.

 

65


  (ii) The Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer and each Lender, their respective affiliates, and each of their directors, officers and employees against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer any Lender or any affiliate is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Credit Extension hereunder except to the extent that they are determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification.

 

  (iii) The Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable for, and the Loan Parties agree that they shall immediately pay to the Agent and the Lenders when incurred and shall indemnify, defend and hold the Lenders harmless from and against, all loss, cost, liability, damage and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense and settlement of claims) that the Agent or the Lenders may suffer or incur as mortgagees as a result of, or in connection in any way with any applicable Environmental Laws (including the assertion that any lien existing pursuant to the Environmental Laws takes priority over the lien or security interests of the Collateral Agent or Lenders), or any environmental assessment or study from time to time reasonably undertaken or requested by the Agent or any Lenders or breach of any covenant or undertaking by the Loan Parties. The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 9.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.9 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

9.10 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender

 

66


shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower. Neither the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. The Borrower agrees that neither the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

9.14 Joinder of Guarantors. If a Subsidiary is required to join this Agreement as a Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.14 (regarding Subsidiaries) and/or 6.13 (regarding Permitted Acquisitions) then (a) such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Agent (1) a Guarantor Joinder in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit N (a “Guarantor Joinder”) pursuant to which it shall join as a Guarantor each of the documents to which the Guarantors are parties; (2) documents in the forms described in Section 4.1 modified as appropriate to relate to such Subsidiary, including opinions of counsel with respect to each Subsidiary; (3) documents necessary to grant and perfect first and prior Liens (other than Permitted Liens) in favor of the Collateral Agent in all property and assets held by such Subsidiary and in the ownership interests in such Subsidiary, and (b) to the extent required under this Agreement, the Loan Party which holds the ownership interest in such Subsidiary shall take such steps as are necessary to pledge such interests pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement and grant to the Collateral Agent first and prior Liens (other than Permitted Liens) therein, except to the extent such grant of security interests is excused or delayed under Section 6.13(iii)(d)(3) of this Agreement. In the case of any Subsidiary formed after the date of this Agreement, the Loan Parties shall deliver such Guarantor Joinder and related documents to the Agent within five (5) business days after the date of the filing of such Subsidiary’s Articles of Incorporation if the Subsidiary is a corporation, the date of the filing of its certificate of limited partnership if it is a limited partnership, or the date of its organization if it is an entity other than a limited partnership or corporation, or the closing date of the acquisition agreement in the case of a Permitted Acquisition.

 

67


9.15 Business Days. Except as provided in the definition of “Interest Period” in Article I above, if any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents requires that the Borrower perform any act (other than to make a payment) on a day that is not a Business Day, then the action shall be deemed to be due on the first day thereafter that is a Business Day; and in the case of a payment, shall be due on the last Business Day prior to the date that is not a Business Day but upon which the payment is due.

The Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) all presentments, demands for performances, notices of nonperformance (except to the extent specifically required by this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents), protests, notices of protest and notices of dishonor in connection with this Agreement or any Notes, (b) any requirement of diligence or promptness on the part of any Lender in enforcement of rights under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, and (c) any requirement of marshaling assets or proceeding against Persons or assets in any particular order.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government of the United States of America fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Person that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. Accordingly, when the Borrower opens an account, the Agent and the Lenders will ask for the Borrower’s name, tax identification number, business address, and other information that will allow the Agent and the Lenders to identify the Borrower. The Agent and the Lenders may also ask to see the Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

ARTICLE X

THE AGENT

10.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. JPMorgan is hereby re-appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative and as Collateral Agent (herein referred to collectively in this Article X as the “Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders and the LC Issuer authorizes the Agent and Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement, on behalf of such Lender and the LC Issuer (each Lender and the LC Issuer hereby agreeing to be bound by the terms of such intercreditor agreement, as if it were a party thereto) and to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent

 

68


and the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and the terms of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, and (ii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any other Loan Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank servicing as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

10.2 Powers. The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.

10.3 General Immunity. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

10.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Unmatured Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Borrower’s or any such Guarantor’s respective Subsidiaries. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by the Borrower to the Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Borrower to the Agent (either in its capacity as Agent, or as Collateral Agent, or in its individual capacity).

10.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

 

69


10.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may execute any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

10.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Agent.

10.8 Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(vii) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

10.9 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

10.10 Rights as a Lender. In the event the Agent is a Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to be remain a Lender.

 

70


10.11 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.12 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent or, if no successor Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Agent hereunder. If the Agent has resigned and no successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Agent, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Agent by merger, or the Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Agent.

10.13 Agent and Arranger Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., for their respective accounts, the fees agreed to by the Borrower, the Agent and the Arranger pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated November 18, 2009, or as otherwise agreed from time to time.

10.14 Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X.

10.15 Execution of Collateral Documents. The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Agent to cause the Collateral Agent, to execute and deliver to the Borrower on their behalf the Security Agreement(s) and all related financing statements and any financing statements, agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Security Agreement(s).

10.16 Collateral Releases. The Lenders acknowledge that the Collateral Agent is authorized to execute and deliver to the Borrower on their behalf any agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of Collateral which shall be permitted by the terms of this Agreement (including, for example, lease, sale or other disposition of Property permitted in Section 6.12) or of any other Loan Document or which shall otherwise have been approved by the Required Lenders

 

71


(or, if required by the terms of Section 8.2, all of the Lenders) in writing, without further authorization or consent from the Lenders; and without limiting any other consents or authorizations provided by the Lenders, the Lenders hereby consent to the Collateral Agent having and exercising that authority.

10.17 Co-Agents, Documentation Agents, Syndication Agent, etc. Neither any of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a “co-agent” nor any Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Agent in Section 10.11.

ARTICLE XI

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available, but not including funds held by a Loan Party which are held by that Loan Party only as custodian or trustee (and in which that Loan Party does not have a beneficial interest) such as, (by way of example and not limitation), Horseman’s Accounts, and which are clearly labeled to indicate that such funds are so held by the Loan Party) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due.

11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XII

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

12.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each other Loan Party and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3, and (iii) any transfer by Participation must be made in compliance with Section 12.2. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 12.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with

 

72


Section 12.3.3. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

12.2 Participations.

12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

12.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Credit Extension or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 or of any other Loan Document.

12.2.3 Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of and bound by the provisions of Section 2.21 and Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower, and (ii) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender.

 

73


12.3 Assignments.

12.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Commitment and Loans of the assigning Lender or (unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Commitment or outstanding Loans (if the Commitment has been terminated) subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in the assignment.

12.3.2 Consents. The consent of the Borrower shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing. The consent of the Agent shall be required for each assignment. Any consent required under this Section 12.3.2 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12.3.3 Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Agent of an assignment, together with any consents required by Sections 12.3.1 and 12.3.2, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Agent (payable by a party other than a Loan Party) for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.3 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.2. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.3, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

12.3.4 Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Louisville, Kentucky a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the

 

74


Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.4 Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any Reports; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement.

12.5 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(iv).

 

75

For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final paragraph of this Schedule:

“Financials” means the annual or quarterly financial statements of the Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(i) or (ii).

“Level I Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00.

“Level II Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00 and less than 1.50 to 1.00.

“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status and (ii) the Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 and less than 2.50 to 1.00.

“Status” means either Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status, Level V Status, Level VI Status and Level VII Status.

If at any time the Borrower fails to deliver the Financials to the Agent on or before the date such statements or certificates are due, Level VII Status shall be deemed applicable for the period commencing five (5) business days after such required date of delivery and ending on the date which is five (5) business days after such statements or certificates are actually delivered, after which the Status shall be determined in accordance with the table above as applicable.

Except as otherwise provided in the paragraph below, adjustments, if any, to the Status then in effect shall be effective five (5) business days after the Agent has received the applicable financial statements and certificates (it being understood and agreed that each change in Status shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Level III Status shall be deemed to be applicable until the Agent’s receipt of the applicable financial statements for the Borrower’s fiscal quarter ending on or about March 31, 2010 (unless such financial statements demonstrate that Level IV, V, VI or VII Status should have been applicable during such period, in which case such other Status shall be deemed to be applicable during such period) and adjustments to the Status then in effect shall thereafter be effected in accordance with the preceding paragraphs.

3. AOTBC and CDTIC are each corporations validly existing, and based on certificates dated December 14, 2009, obtained from the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office, in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Delaware”).

4. CDEG is a limited liability company validly existing, and based on a certificate dated December 14, 2009, obtained from the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office, in good standing under the laws of the Delaware.

5. Each of the Opinion Parties has the requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which such Person is a party and perform its respective obligations thereunder.

6. Each of the Opinion Parties has taken all necessary corporate or limited liability company action to authorize the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which such Person is a party and the performance of such Person’s obligations thereunder. The Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by each such Loan Party.

7. The Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party constitute valid and binding obligations of each such Loan Party, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms.

8. No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with, any non-judicial governmental agency or instrumentality of Kentucky or the United States of America (“Governmental Authority”) is required for each Opinion Party’s execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the performance of such Person’s obligations under such Loan Documents, except for (i) those already obtained and (ii) any recordations and filings that may be necessary to perfect the security interests granted by an Opinion Party.


9. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by the Opinion Parties, the performance by the Opinion Parties of their respective obligations under the Loan Documents and the exercise by the Opinion Parties of the rights created by the Loan Documents (i) will not violate (a) any applicable law or regulation of Kentucky or the United States of America, (b) the articles of incorporation or formation, operating agreements or bylaws, as applicable, of the Opinion Parties or (c) any order of any Governmental Authority that we know to be binding on any Opinion Party, (ii) will not conflict with, violate or result in a default under any indenture, mortgage, agreement for borrowed money or other material agreement of any Loan Party of which we have knowledge and (iii) to our knowledge, will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Opinion Party other than the Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents.

10. The Borrower is the record owner of the issued membership interests of CDEG. The issued membership interest of CDEG have been duly and validly issued.

11. The AOTBC Financing Statement, the CDEG Financing Statement, and the CDTIC Financing Statement to be filed against AOTBC, CDEG and CDTIC are each in appropriate form for filing in the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office.

12. The Churchill Financing Statement, the CDIC Financing Statement, and the CDMC Financing Statement, are each in appropriate form for filing in the Kentucky Secretary of State’s Office.

13. The Pledge and Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the other holders of Secured Obligations, a security interest in all of each Opinion Party’s right, title and interest in the Collateral. Upon the such filing of the Financing Statements, the Collateral Agent’s security interest, for the benefit of the Lenders and the other holders of Secured Obligations, in the UCC Collateral of each Opinion Party will be perfected, to the extent that a security interest in such collateral can be perfected by the filing of financing statements under the Kentucky UCC and the Delaware UCC.

14. Assuming the Collateral Agent remains in possession of certificates representing the Pledged Securities (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) listed in the Pledged Securities Schedule, which is attached to and made a part of this Opinion (the “Certificated Pledged Shares”), and the proper endorsement to the Collateral Agent (or an endorsement in blank), and assuming the continued sole possession by the Collateral Agent of such Certificated Pledged Shares in Kentucky, the security interest created in favor of the Collateral Agent under the Pledge and Security Agreement constitutes a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in such Certificated Pledged Shares (and the proceeds thereof) in favor of the Collateral Agent under the Pledge and Security Agreement. Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of the Certificated Pledged Shares endorsed to the Collateral Agent or endorsed in blank by an effective endorsement and assuming neither the Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender has notice of any adverse claim to such Certificated Pledged Shares, the Collateral Agent will be a “protected purchaser” of such Certificated Pledged Shares (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC) and will acquire its interest in such Certificated Pledged Shares free of any adverse claim.


To the extent that the Collateral Agent has sole possession of the Certificated Pledged Shares as described above, no filings, registrations or recordings are required to perfect (or maintain the perfection of) the security interest created under the Pledge and Security Agreement in respect of such Certificated Pledged Shares. No filing or other action, other than the filing of the Financing Statements described in paragraphs 11 and 12 above, is required to perfect the Liens in the Collateral of the Opinion Parties created under the Pledge and Security Agreement except (i) proper steps to obtain “control” as defined in Article 9 of the UCC) may be required to perfect any security interests in Deposit Accounts (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement), (ii) providing a more particularized description of “Commercial Tort Claims” (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) (if any exist or come to exist), and (iii) taking appropriate steps to note Liens on any certificates of title issued in connection with any Goods (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement).

15. No recording, filing, stamp, transfer, privilege, intangibles or other tax must be paid in connection with the execution, delivery and recordation of the Churchill Financing Statement, the AOTBC Financing Statement, the CDEG Financing Statement, the CDIC Financing Statement, the CDMC Financing Statement or the CDTIC Financing Statement except nominal recording and filing fees payable to, as applicable, the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office and the Kentucky Secretary of State’s Office.

16. The payment by the Borrower and receipt by the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the other holders of Secured Obligations, of all principal and interest required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and any Notes, will not violate the usury laws of Kentucky.

17. The lending of money by Lenders under the Loan Documents and the Collateral Agent’s enforcement, for the benefit of the Lenders, of the Collateral Agent’s rights under the Loan Documents in Kentucky shall not, solely on that account, cause the Collateral Agent or Lenders to be deemed to be doing business in Kentucky.

18. None of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the use of the proceeds of the Loans provided for in the Loan Documents, will violate or result in a violation of regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

19. No Opinion Party is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

IV. Confirmations.

Based solely on (i) certificates of officers of each Opinion Party and (ii) examination of records maintained in the offices of the Clerks of the Jefferson County, Kentucky Circuit Court and of the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky (in Louisville) and without further investigation or inquiry, we confirm that we have no knowledge of any actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending or, to our knowledge, threatened in writing, against any Opinion Party (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Loan Document.


V. Qualifications.

Our opinions are limited by and subject to the following:

(a) Our opinions are based solely upon the laws of Kentucky and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. To the extent that our opinions set forth in paragraphs 11, 12, 13 and 14 of this Opinion are governed by the laws of any state other than Kentucky, such opinions are based solely on our review of the text of the UCC in effect in such states as set forth in the generally available compilation of the UCC published by Commerce Clearing House, Inc. (without reference to matters of judicial interpretation). We express no opinion concerning the laws of any other jurisdiction or whether such laws may apply, under a conflict of laws analysis or otherwise.

(b) Our opinions are subject to the effects of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation, conservatorship, reorganization, moratorium and other federal or state laws or constitutions in effect from time to time affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws, preferential conveyance laws and judicially developed doctrines relevant to any of the foregoing laws.

(c) Our opinions are also subject to general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including, without limitation, equitable defenses, limitations on the availability of equitable remedies, and concepts of materiality, reasonableness, unconscionability, good faith and fair dealing, and similar doctrines affecting the enforceability of agreements generally.

(d) Certain agreements, rights, remedies, indemnities, waivers and other provisions of the Loan Documents may not be enforceable strictly in accordance with their terms, and may be limited by applicable laws, rules, regulations, court decisions, public policies and constitutional requirements, but the inclusion of such agreements, rights, remedies, indemnities, waivers and other provisions, and the application of such limitations will not, in our judgment (i) render the Loan Documents invalid as a whole, (ii) impair the Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s rights, on behalf of the Lenders and the other holders of Secured Obligations, to accelerate and demand payment of the unpaid principal of the Loans upon the occurrence of a legally enforceable default or (iii) preclude enforcement of such obligations through normal legal proceedings, including proceedings to enforce the liens. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents that purports to (i) require disputes to be resolved by arbitration or by litigation in any particular court, jurisdiction or venue, (ii) establish evidentiary standards or restrict access to legal or equitable remedies, (iii) waive the right to trial by jury, (iv) appoint the Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or other holders of Secured Obligations as an agent or attorney-in-fact of any Loan Party or (v) impose on any Loan Party any fees or costs of obtaining, filing or recording releases or termination statements following satisfaction of the secured debt.


(e) Pursuant to KRS Section 411.195, any provision in the Loan Documents purporting to require payment of attorneys’ fees will be enforceable only to the extent authorized by such statute.

(f) We express no opinion concerning any Opinion Party’s rights in or title to any of the Collateral, or, except as set forth in paragraph 14 above, as to the priority of any security interest in or Liens on the Collateral.

(g) We express no opinion as to the creation or validity of any assignment of or security interest in any Collateral consisting of (i) tort claims except as set forth in paragraph 14 above, (ii) property that is subject to a statute, regulation or treaty of the United States that pre-empts in any way the provisions of the Kentucky UCC or the Delaware UCC, (iii) commodities, commodity accounts, timber or as-extracted collateral or (iv) property acquired or held primarily for personal, family or household purposes.

(h) The continued perfection of the security interests perfected by the filing of the Churchill Financing Statement, the AOTBC Financing Statement, the CDEG Financing Statement, the CDIC Financing Statement, the CDMC Financing Statement or the CDTIC Financing Statement will depend upon the filing of periodic continuation statements in accordance with, as applicable, the Kentucky UCC and the Delaware UCC.

(i) Except as set forth in opinion number 17 above, we express no opinion as to matters of usury, interest, late charges, loan charges or loan fees, or as to any provisions of the Loan Documents relating to any of the foregoing.

(j) We express no opinion as to prepayment penalties, prepayment fees, yield-maintenance payments, exit fees, early termination fees, prepayment premiums, defeasance or the like, or as to the enforceability of provisions of the Loan Documents relating to any of the foregoing.

(k) We call to your attention that the Lenders under the Loan Documents may be subject to the franchise tax imposed by KRS §136.500, et seq., if any such Lender were to solicit business with twenty (20) or more Persons in Kentucky or receive $100,000.00 or more in income attributable to sources in Kentucky in any tax year as set forth in KRS §136.520.

(l) With respect to our opinion in paragraph 9(ii) above, we express no opinion as to whether the incurrence of indebtedness by the Borrower under the Loan Documents might result in the violation of any of the financial covenants set forth in any of the indentures, instruments or agreements described in paragraph 9(ii).


(m) We express no opinion as to any matter not specifically stated to be and numbered as an opinion, and we undertake no obligation to advise you of legal or factual changes affecting this Opinion that occur after the date of this Opinion.

This Opinion is being furnished solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns in connection with the transactions described in the Credit Agreement, and may not be relied on by any other Person without our express prior written consent. Further, without our express prior written consent, the opinions expressed in this Opinion may not be quoted, circulated, assigned or delivered to any other Person (except that copies hereof may be delivered to the Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ counsel and independent accountants and to regulatory agencies with authority over the Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ activities).

The Borrower shall pay the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Loans in full on the Facility Termination Date.

This Note is one of the Notes issued pursuant to, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2009 among (a) the Borrower, (b) the Guarantors party thereto, (c) the Lenders party thereto, including the Lender, and (d) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent (the “Agent”) (as amended, modified, renewed, restated or extended from time to time, the “Agreement”) to which Agreement reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions governing this Note, including the terms and conditions under which this Note may be prepaid or its maturity date accelerated. This Note is secured pursuant to the Collateral Documents, all as more specifically described in the Agreement, and reference is made thereto for a statement of the terms and provisions thereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are used with the meanings given them in the Agreement. A Default under the Agreement is a Default under this Note.

Failure of the holder of this Note to exercise any of its rights and remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of this Note or of the Agreement, the Collateral Documents or any of the other Loan Documents or of any of such holder’s and/or the Agent’s rights and remedies, nor shall it prevent the holder from exercising any rights or remedies with respect to the subsequent happening of the same or similar occurrences. All remedies of the holder hereof shall be cumulative to the greatest extent permitted by law. Time shall be of the essence for payment of all payments of interest and principal on this Note.

If there is any Default, or this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or is collected through any court, including any bankruptcy court, the Borrower promises to pay to the order of the holder hereof such holder’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred in collecting or attempting to collect or securing or attempting to secure this Note or enforcing the holder’s rights with respect to any collateral securing this Note, to the extent allowed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky or any state in which any collateral for this Note is situated.

If the Borrower makes a payment required under this Note ten (10) days or more late, the Borrower shall be charged five percent (5%) of the regularly scheduled payment up to a maximum amount of $1,500.00 as a late charge.

This Note has been delivered in, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws (including, without limitation, the conflicts of laws rules) of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Revolving Loans may be made from time to time by the Lender to the Borrower in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. As contemplated in Section 2.15(i) of the Agreement, upon the disbursement of each Revolving Loan, the Lender shall record the making and amount of such Loan on the Lender’s electronic automated accounting system; and the Lender shall also record on the Lender’s electronic automated accounting system the payment by the Borrower of amounts of principal made on this Note. The aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans made by the Lender, less the amounts of payments of


principal made by the Borrower, shall be the principal amount outstanding under this Note. The information contained on the Lender’s electronic automated accounting system and the information maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(ii) of the Agreement shall be prima facie evidence of the unpaid amount of principal outstanding under this Note.

The Borrower waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment or nonacceptance and any other notice and all due diligence or promptness that may otherwise be required by law (but not any notice required by the Loan Documents as defined in the Agreement), and all exemptions to which they may now or hereafter be entitled under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the United States of America or any state thereof. The holder of this instrument may, whether one or more times, with or without notice to any party, and without affecting the obligations of any maker, surety, guarantor, endorser, accommodation party or any other party to this Note (1) extend the time for payment of either principal or interest from time to time, (2) release or discharge any one or more parties liable on this Note, (3) suspend the right to enforce this Note with respect to any persons, (4) change, exchange or release any Property in which the holder has any lien or interest securing this Note and (5) justifiably or otherwise, impair any Collateral securing this Note or suspend the right to enforce against any such Collateral.

16. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be a contract under the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.

19. Counterparts. This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed will be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. Any party so executing this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.


20. Attorneys-in-Fact. The Loan Parties hereby authorize and empower Collateral Agent, at its election and in the name of either itself, or in the name of the Loan Parties, to execute and file proofs and documents and take any other action Agent may deem advisable to completely protect Agent’s and Lenders’ interests in the Subordinated Indebtedness and Agent’s right of enforcement thereof, and to that end the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint Collateral Agent, its officers, employees and agents, or any of them, with full power of substitution, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of the Loan Parties and with full power for the Loan Parties and in the name, place and stead of the Loan Parties for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing, delivering, filing and recording any instruments which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which power of attorney, being given for security, is coupled with an interest and irrevocable. The Loan parties hereby, ratify, confirm, and agree to ratify and confirm all action taken by the Collateral Agent, its officers, employees or agents pursuant to the foregoing power of attorney.

21. Application of Payments.

22. Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Loan Parties in the performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, Agent may demand specific performance of this Agreement and seek injunctive relief (and if Agent makes such demand, Collateral Agent shall be made a party to any such action) and may exercise any other remedy available at law or in equity (with Collateral Agent to be made a party to such action), it being recognized that the remedies of Agent at law may not fully compensate Agent for the damages it may suffer in the event of a breach hereof. In the event of any award, decree, judgment or writ in favor of Lenders or Collateral Agent, any funds obtained pursuant to such award, decree, judgment or writ shall be delivered to Collateral Agent and distributed in accordance with Section 9 of the Collateral Sharing Agreement.

To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Obligor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or

 

24


disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Obligor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Obligor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.

8.3. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Obligors and the Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, the Obligors agree that the Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

8.4. Collateral Agent Performance of Obligor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Collateral Agent may perform or pay any obligation which the Obligors have agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and the Obligors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any amounts paid by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4. The Obligors’ obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be an Obligation Secured payable on demand.

8.5. Authorization for Collateral Agent to Take Certain Action. The Obligors irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent and appoint the Collateral Agent as their attorney in fact (i) to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Collateral and which are Securities or with financial intermediaries holding other Investment Property as may be necessary or advisable to give the Collateral Agent Control over such Securities or other Investment Property, (v) to enforce payment of the Receivables in the name of the Collateral Agent or the Obligors, (vi) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Collateral Agent to the Obligations Secured as provided herein and (vii) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder), and the Obligors agree to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, provided, that this authorization shall not relieve the Obligors of any of their obligations under this Security Agreement or the Credit Agreement.

 

25


8.6. Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. The Obligors acknowledge and agree that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.1.5, 4.1.6, 4.4, 5.3, or 8.8 or in Article VII will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agree, without limiting the right of the Collateral Agent or the Lenders to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Obligors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Obligors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.6 shall be specifically enforceable against the Obligors.

8.7. Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by the Obligors where any of the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Obligations Secured are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay the Obligors for such use and occupancy.

8.8. Dispositions Not Authorized. The Obligors are not authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1.5 and notwithstanding any course of dealing between the Obligors and the Collateral Agent and/or the Lenders or other conduct of the Collateral Agent and/or the Lenders, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 4.1.5) shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent or the Lenders unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Collateral Agent.

8.9. Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Obligors, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns (including all Persons who become bound as an Obligor to this Security Agreement), except that the Obligors shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

8.10. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Obligors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.

8.11. Taxes and Expenses. Any taxes payable or ruled payable by Federal or State authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the Obligors, together with interest and penalties, if any. The Obligors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any and all out-of-pocket expenses and internal charges (including reasonable attorneys’, auditors’ and accountants’ fees and reasonable time charges of attorneys, paralegals, auditors and accountants who may be employees of the Collateral Agent) paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any special audit of the Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Obligors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Obligors or any one of them individually.

8.12. Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

8.13. Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Obligations Secured outstanding) until (i) the Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Obligations Secured have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and no commitments of the Collateral Agent or the Lenders which would give rise to any Obligations Secured are outstanding.

 

26


8.14. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Obligors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Obligors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral.

8.16. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE OBLIGORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY COURT SITTING IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE OBLIGORS IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE OBLIGORS AGAINST THE COLLATERAL AGENT INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.

8.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE OBLIGORS AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its employees, officers, directors or trustees makes any representation or warranty regarding any audit reports or other analyses of the Obligors’ condition which the Collateral Agent may in its sole discretion prepare and elect to distribute, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any of its employees, officers, directors or trustees be liable to any person or entity receiving a copy of such reports or analyses for any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating thereto.

From time to time by submitting an application on a form approved by the Bank (an “Application”), the Applicant may request the Bank to issue one or more letters of credit (each, a “Credit”). The Bank may issue any such Credit, but the Bank shall have no obligation to do so unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Applicant agrees that the following terms and conditions shall apply in the event the Bank issues any Credit:

1. Definitions and Interpretation. (a) In addition to terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement: “Base Rate” means a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the interest rate per annum announced from time to time by the Bank as its then prime rate, which rate may not be the lowest rate then being charged commercial borrowers by the Bank; or (ii) the rate applicable to overnight federal funds transactions, as reasonably determined by the Bank, plus .50%; “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, or any other city of which the Bank may give the Applicant notice from time to time, are authorized or required by law to close; “Dollar Equivalent” means, with respect to an amount in any currency other than U.S. dollars, as of any date, the amount of U.S. dollars into which such amount in such amount in such currency may be converted at the spot rate at which U.S. dollars are offered by the Bank in Pittsburgh for such currency at approximately 11:00 a.m., Prevailing Time, on such date, plus all actual costs of settlement, including amounts incurred by the Bank to comply with currency exchange requirements of any Governmental Authority; “Governmental Authority” means any de facto or de jure domestic or foreign government court, tribunal, agency, or other purported authority; “Prevailing Time” means the prevailing time in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (or any other city of which the Bank may have given the Applicant notice) on the date in question; “Taxes” means all taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings of any kind (other than taxes on the Bank’s net income); and “UCP” means the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), Incorporational Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, and any subsequent official revision thereof.

(b) If this Agreement is signed by two or more persons, each shall be deemed to make to the Bank all the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and each shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. Any reference herein to this Agreement, an Application, a Credit, or any other Instrument, agreement or document related hereto or thereto shall be deemed to refer to all amendments, modifications, extensions and renewals hereof and thereof. Except to the extent the context clearly otherwise requires, terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them by the UCP or, if not defined herein, then by relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) of Pennsylvania or such other jurisdiction of which the Bank may give the Applicant notice, with the definitions of Article 5 of the UCC controlling over any conflicting definitions in other UCC Articles. Determinations made by the Bank pursuant to the terms hereof shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2. Payments. (a) The Applicant will pay to the Bank the amount to be paid by the Bank with respect to each draft or other payment demand made under a Credit no later than 10 a.m., Prevailing Time, on the date such payment is to be made by the Bank, or such earlier time as the Bank may reasonably require. If a Credit calls for the delivery by the Bank of an Item other than money, the Applicant shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Item to the Bank, at such time, in advance of the time the Bank is to deliver such Item, as the Bank may reasonably require.

(b) The Applicant will pay to the Bank upon receipt of the Bank’s Invoice therefor (i) interest on all amounts payable to the Bank hereunder from the date due to the date of payment, at the Base Rate plus         % (or, if the preceding blank is not completed, the Base Rate plus 4%; or, if this Agreement is delivered in connection with a separate credit agreement, loan agreement, promissory note


or other agreement governing the payment of interest by the Applicant to the Bank, then at the rate of interest applicable following the occurrence of an event of default thereunder); provided that in the event shall the Applicant pay hereunder Interest in excess of the minimum rate permitted by applicable law; (ii) the Bank’s fees, as separately agreed to by the Applicant and the Bank, as well as the customary commissions and other charges regularly charged by the Bank for letters of credit; and (iii) all charges and expenses paid or incurred by the Bank or any of its correspondents in connection with this Agreement or any Credit, including all reasonable legal fees and expenses. All periodic interest, fees and commissions shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a 360 day year, and Interest shall continue to accrue at the applicable rate set forth herein notwithstanding one or more defaults or the entry of any judgment.

(c) All amounts payable hereunder by the Applicant shall be paid to the Bank at its address set forth above or at such other place as the Bank may give notice from time to time, in immediately available funds in the currency specified by the Bank, without set off, defense, recoupment, deduction, cross-claim or counterclaim of any kind; and the free and clear of, and without deduction for, any present or future Taxes. If the Bank or the Applicant pays any Taxes, whether or not correctly or legally assessed, the amounts payable hereunder shall be increased so that, after the payment of such Taxes, the Bank shall have received an amount equal to the sum the Bank would have received had no such Taxes been paid. If any amount payable hereunder is determined in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Applicant shall make payment in such currency or, at the Bank’s option, shall pay the Dollar Equivalent thereof. To effect any payment due hereunder, the Bank may debit any amount that the Applicant may have with the Bank or any of its affiliates.

Nature of Obligations (a) The Applicant’s obligations to the Bank under this Agreement are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed in accordance with the terms hereof irrespective of any act, omission, event or condition, including, without limitation (i) the form of any lack of power or authority of any signer of, or the lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) any draft, demand, document, certificate or instrument presented in connection with any Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Credit or any obligation underlying any Credit, in each case, even if the Bank or any of its correspondents have been notified thereof (ii) any claim or breach of warranty that might be made by the Applicant or the Bank against any beneficiary of a Credit, or the existence of any claims, set off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense, or other right that the Applicant may at any time have against any beneficiary, any successor beneficiary, any transferee or assignee of the proceeds of a Credit, the Bank or any correspondence or agent of the Bank, or any other person, however arising; (iii) any acts or omissions by, or the solvency of, any beneficiary of any Credit, or any other person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Credit; (iv) any failure by the Bank to issue any Credit in the form requested by the Applicant, unless the Bank receives written notice from the Applicant of such failure within one Business Day after the Applicant shall have received (by facsimile transmission or otherwise) a copy of such Credit and such error is material; and (v) any action or omission (including failure or compulsion to honor a presentation under any Credit) by the Bank or any of its correspondence in connection with a Credit, draft or other demand for payment, document, or any property relating to a Credit, and resulting from any censorship, law, regulation, order, control, restriction, or the like, rightfully or wrongly exercised by any Governmental Authority, or from any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Bank or any of its correspondents, or for any loss or damage to the Applicant or to anyone else, or to any property of the Applicant or anyone else, resulting from any such action or omission.

(b) The Bank is authorized to honor any presentation under a Credit without regard to, and without any duty on the Bank’s part to inquire into, any transaction or obligation underlying such credit, or any disputes or controversies between the Applicant and any beneficiary of a Credit, or any other person, notwithstanding that the Bank may have assisted the Applicant in the preparation of the wording of any Credit or documents required to be presented thereunder or that the Bank may be aware of any underlying transactions or obligation or be familiar with any of the parties thereto.


(c) The Applicant agrees that any action or omission by the Bank or any of its correspondents in connection with any Credit or presentation thereunder shall be binding on the Applicant and shall not result in any liability to the Bank or any of its correspondents in the absence of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bank and each of its correspondents (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Bank or such correspondent to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the Applicant; (ii) may honor any presentation of the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Credit; (iii) shall not be liable to the Applicant for any consequential, punitive or special damages, or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Credit; (iv) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the Bank; (v) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicated that a draft or other document is being separately delivered), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant credit; and (vi) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located.

(d) If the Applicant or any other person seeks to delay or enjoin the honorer by the Bank of a presentation under a Credit, the Bank shall have no obligation to delay or refuse to honor the presentation until validly so ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (a) the Bank may exercise from time to time any of the rights and remedies available to the Bank under this Agreement, under any other documents now or in the future evidencing or securing obligations of the Applicant to the Bank, or under applicable law, and all such remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive; and (b) the Applicant shall promptly deliver to the Bank in immediately available funds, as collateral for any and all obligations of the Applicant to the Bank, an amount equal to 105% of the maximum aggregate amount then or at any time thereafter available to be drawn under all outstanding Credits, and the Applicant hereby pledges to the Bank and grants to the Bank a security interest in all such funds as security for such obligations, acknowledges that the Bank shall at all times have control of such funds and shall be authorized to give entitlement orders (and defined in the UCC) with respect to such funds, without further consent of the Applicant or any other person, and agrees promptly to do al further things that the Bank may deem necessary in order to grant and perfect the Bank’s security interests in such funds.

9. Indemnification. The Applicant shall indemnify and hold the Bank and its affiliates and agents, and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, Taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and costs, whether of Internal or external counsel to the Bank), which may be incurred by or awarded against any Indemnified Party, and which arise out of or in connection with (a) any Credit, this Agreement, or the preparation for a defense of any investigation, litigation, or proceeding arising out of or in connection herewith or therewith (and irrespective of who may be the prevailing party); (b) any payment or action taken in connection with any Credit, including, without limitation, any action or proceeding seeking to restrain any drawing under a Credit or to compel or restrain any payment or any other action under a Credit or this Agreement (and irrespective of who may be the prevailing party); (c) the enforcement of this Agreement or the collection or sale of any property or collateral; and (d) any act or omission of any Governmental Authority or other cause beyond the Bank’s reasonable control; except, in each case, to the extent such claim, liability, loss, damage, Tax, penalty, interest, judgment, cost or expense is found by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

10. Miscellaneous. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, will be effective upon receipt, and shall be delivered by registered mail, return receipt requested, by facsimile transmission with confirmation of delivery, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, to the intended recipient at this address set forth in this Agreement, or at such other address of which such party shall have given notice to the other in accordance herewith. No delay or omission of the Bank to exercise any right or power arising hereunder shall impair any such right the power or be considered to be a waiver of any such right or power. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure therefrom, will be effective unless made in a writing signed by the Bank, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid by a court, all the other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If this Agreement is executed by more than on applicant, each Applicant waives any and all defenses to payment and performance hereunder based upon principles of ownership, impairment of collateral, or otherwise and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Applicant consents to: any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of or in any other term of all or any of the obligations of any other applicant hereunder or otherwise, and any exchange or release of any property or collateral, or the release of other amendment, extensions, renewal, waiver of, or consent to departure from, the terms hereof or of any guaranty or security agreement or any other agreement related hereto. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the applicant and the Bank and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns: provided, however, that the Applicant may not assign this Agreement in whole or in part without the Bank’s prior written consent and the Bank may at any time assign this Agreement in whole or in part. The Applicant hereby authorizes the Bank, from time to time without notice to the Applicant, to record telephonic and other electronic communications of the Applicant and provide any information pertaining to the financial condition, business operations or creditworthiness of the applicant to or at the direction of any Governmental Authority, to any of the Bank’s correspondents, and the Bank’s affiliates, and to any of its or their directors, officers, employees, auditors and professional advisors, to any person which in the ordinary course of its business makes credit reference inquiries, to any person which may succeed to or participate in all or part of the Bank’s interest hereunder, and as may be necessary or advisable for the preservation of the Bank’s rights hereunder. This is a continuing Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until no obligations of the Applicant and no Credit exist hereunder; provided, however, that termination of this Agreement shall not release the Applicant from any payment or performance that is subsequently rescinded or recouped, and the obligation to make any such payment or performance shall continue until paid or performed as if no such payment or performance ever occurred. Provisions concerning payment, indemnification, increased costs, Taxes, immunity, and jurisdiction shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11. Financial Protection Applicant. If one or two or more Applicants is a financial institution (the “Financial Institution”), the Financial Institution shall be deemed to request the issuance of any Credit for its customer (the “Customer”) who has also executed this Agreement as an Applicant. In consideration of any such issuance, and as a direct and primary obligation, the Financial


Institution agrees to pay the Bank all amounts that become due and payable to the Bank under this Agreement, when and as due, in accordance with the terms hereof. The Financial Institution hereby assigns to the Bank all security interests now or at any time existing granted in favor of the Financial Institution as security for the Customer’s obligations to the Financial Institution arising out of this Agreement or any Credit, and agree to do all things necessary from time to time to effect such assignment.

12. Representative of Applicant. If this Agreement is executed by more than one Applicant and neither is a Financial Institution, the Applicant whose signature is first shown below shall have the exclusive right to deal with the Bank in connection with the matters addressed herein, notwithstanding conflicting instructions or requests from any other Applicant.

13. Waiver of Immunity. The Applicant acknowledges that this Agreement is entered into, and each Credit will be issued, for commercial purposes and, if the Applicant now or hereunder acquires any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or any of its property, the Applicant hereby irrevocably waives such immunity.

14. Jurisdiction. The Applicant hereby irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the judicial district or the state in which the Bank’s office set forth above is located, provided that nothing contained in this Agreement will prevent the Bank from bringing any action, enforcing any award or judgment, or exercising any right against the Applicant individually, against any security, or against ant property of the Applicant within any other jurisdiction. The Applicant agrees that the venue provided above is the most convenient forum for the Bank and the Applicant. The Applicant waives any objection to venue and any objection based as a more convenient forum in any action under this Agreement.

15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE APPLICANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS APPLICANT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR CLAIM OF ANY NATURE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY CREDIT, ANY DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CREDIT, OR ANY OBLIGATION OR TRANSACTION UNDERLYING ANY OF THE FOREGOING. THE APPLICANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY.

16. Governing Law. This Agreement and each Credit shall be interpreted, construed, and enforced according to (a) the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including, without limitation, the UCC; and (b) the UCP, which is Incorporated herein by reference and which shall control (to the extent not prohibited by the law referred to in (a)) in the event of any inconsistent provisions of such law. In the event that a body of law other than that set forth above is applicable to a Credit, the Applicant shall be obligated to pay and reimburse the Bank for any payment made under such Credit if such payment is, in the Bank’s judgment, justified under either the law governing this Agreement or the law governing such Credit.
