          (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, and in order to facilitate loans and repayments between Settlement Dates, PNC, as a Swing Loan Lender may (unless it has received written notice of the existence of any Event of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist or, unless consented to by the Required Lenders, a Potential Default and so long as such shall continue to exist), at its option, cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loans in Dollars and, subject to Section 2.1.2.2 below, PNC or any other Swing Loan Lender may (unless such Swing Loan Lender has received written notice of the existence of any Event of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist or, unless consented to by the Required Lenders, a Potential Default and so long as such shall continue to exist), at its option, cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loans in Optional Currencies (collectively, all such Dollar and Optional Currency swing loans are referred to as the “Swing Loans”), to the Borrowers at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent amount up to but not in excess of the Swing Loan Sublimit, provided that after giving effect to each such Loan, the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments.
          (ii) Within the limits of time and amount set forth in this Section 2.1.2, and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.2.

39


 

          (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, as a condition to the making of any optional Swing Loan, if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, PNC may require that satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender be entered into to eliminate the Swing Loan Lenders’ risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender (it being understood that PNC would consider the Borrowers or the Defaulting Lender providing cash collateral to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lenders, to secure the Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of the Swing Loans, a satisfactory arrangement).
                    2.1.2.2 Swing Loans in Optional Currencies.
          (i) If the Borrowers wish to request a Swing Loan in an Optional Currency, the Borrowers shall so indicate in their Swing Loan Request delivered pursuant to Section 2.3.2 [Swing Loan Requests] below. If the request for a Swing Loan in an Optional Currency is an initial request as to which no Swing Loan Lender has yet agreed to enter into a Swing Loan Commitment, the applicable Swing Loan Request shall be delivered by Borrowers to the existing Swing Loan Lenders for their consideration, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. If the request relates to an existing Swing Loan Commitment in Optional Currencies of a particular Swing Loan Lender, it shall be delivered to the applicable Swing Loan Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. In the case of an initial request for a Swing Loan in an Optional Currency as to which no Swing Loan Lender has provided a Swing Loan Commitment, if the existing Swing Loan Lenders do not agree to make such requested Swing Loan in an Optional Currency by providing a Swing Loan Commitment with respect thereto, then the Swing Loan Lenders shall so inform the Administrative Agent, which shall then submit such request to the other Lenders for their consideration. No Lender shall be obligated to provide such Swing Loan in an Optional Currency and the provision of any such Swing Loan in an Optional Currency by any Lender shall be in the sole discretion of such Lender. If any Lender agrees to make a Swing Loan in an Optional Currency by providing a Swing Loan Commitment with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver a Swing Loan Note to each such Swing Loan Lender in the maximum amount of such Swing Loan Lender’s Swing Loan Commitment with respect to Swing Loans in Optional Currencies (or specified Optional Currencies, as the case may be), pursuant to Section 2.7.1 [Notes], and the applicable Swing Loan Lender’s acceptance of such Swing Loan Note shall provide its Swing Loan Commitment. Swing Loans in Optional Currencies, if made, shall be made by existing Lenders, who shall by the making of such Swing Loans in Optional Currencies become Swing Loan Lenders hereunder.
          (ii) Swing Loans in Optional Currencies are subject to the following additional limitations: (a) Swing Loans of all Borrowers in Optional Currencies may not exceed the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of $25,000,000; (b) Swing Loans of any Foreign Borrower may not exceed an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount equal to 20% of such Foreign Borrower’s applicable Foreign Borrower Sublimit; (c) if total Revolving Facility Usage at any time exceeds $325,000,000 (i) no Swing Loans in Optional Currencies may be requested until Revolving Facility Usage falls below $300,000,000, and (ii) all outstanding Swing Loans in Optional Currencies shall be immediately converted to Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.4.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans] if Revolving Credit Loans are then available or, if they are not, repaid in full by Borrowers; (d) Swing Loans in Optional Currencies must comply with Section 2.6 [Utilization of Commitments in Optional Currencies], including without limitation the provision in Section 2.6.1 [Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund New Loans] that no Swing Loan may be requested if the

40


 

aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans) in all Optional Currencies, taking into account such requested Swing Loan and all other Revolving Credit Loans (including Swing Loans) then outstanding in all Optional Currencies, would exceed the aggregate Optional Currency Sublimit applicable to all Optional Currencies; and (e) if an Event of Default exists, no Swing Loans in Optional Currencies may thereafter be requested and all outstanding Swing Loans in Optional Currencies shall be immediately converted to Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.4.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans] if Revolving Credit Loans are then available or, if they are not, repaid in full by Borrowers.
     2.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans. Each Lender shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] in accordance with its Ratable Share. The aggregate Dollar Equivalent of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrowers at any time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Dollar Equivalent Ratable Share of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrowers to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or after the Expiration Date.
     2.3 Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests.
               2.3.1 Revolving Credit Loan Requests. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date request the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans, or renew or convert the Interest Rate Option applicable to existing Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], by delivering to the Administrative Agent, not later than 12:00 p.m., (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars to which the Euro-Rate Option applies or the conversion to or the renewal of the Euro-Rate Option for any Loans in Dollars; (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency or the date of conversion to or renewal of the Euro-Rate Option for Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency; and (iii) the same Business Day of the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies or the last day of the preceding Interest Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option for any Loan, of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3 or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex in such form (each, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of the proposed Loans (expressed in the currency in which such Loans shall be funded) comprising each Borrowing Tranche, the Dollar Equivalent amount of which shall be in (x) integral multiples of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 for each Borrowing Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option applies and (y) integral multiples of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 for each Borrowing Tranche under the Base Rate Option; (ii) whether the Euro-Rate Option or Base Rate Option shall apply to the proposed Revolving Credit Loans comprising the applicable Borrowing Tranche; (iii) the currency in which such Loans shall be funded if the

41


 

Borrowers are electing the Euro-Rate Option; (iv) in the case of a Borrowing Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option applies, an appropriate Interest Period for the Loans comprising such Borrowing Tranche; and (v) which Borrower is requesting the Revolving Credit Loan.
               2.3.2 Swing Loan Requests. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date request PNC, as a Swing Loan Lender, to make Swing Loans in Dollars, or request PNC or any other Swing Loan Lender to make Swing Loans in Optional Currencies, by delivering to such Swing Loan Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, not later than 12:00 noon on the proposed Borrowing Date of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3.2 hereto or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex (each, a “Swing Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent and Swing Loan Lenders may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Swing Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date and the principal amount of such Swing Loan, which shall be not less than $100,000.
     2.4 Making and Repaying Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent.
               2.4.1 Making Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.3 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], notify the Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying the information provided by the Borrowers, including the currency in which Revolving Credit Loan is requested, and the apportionment among the Lenders of the requested Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans]. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan in the requested Optional Currency (or in Dollars if so requested by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers in immediately available funds in Dollars or the requested Optional Currency (as applicable) at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m., on the applicable Borrowing Date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds, in the applicable Optional Currency, to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.4.2 [Presumptions by the Administrative Agent].
               2.4.2 Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.4.1 [Making Revolving Credit Loans] and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the

42


 

Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, with respect to any payment in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate) and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
               2.4.3 Making Swing Loans. So long as each Swing Loan Lender elects to make Swing Loans, such Swing Loan Lender shall, after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.3.2 [Swing Loan Requests] fund such Swing Loan to the Borrowers in Dollars or, if applicable, the relevant Optional Currency, and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 4:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date or, in the case of Swing Loans in Optional Currencies, prior to such date and time as has been agreed among the Administrative Agent, relevant Swing Loan Lender and the Borrowers.
               2.4.4 Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall repay the Revolving Credit Loans together with all outstanding interest thereon on the Expiration Date.
               2.4.5 Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan Lender may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of its Swing Loans, and each Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in Dollars in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans of such Swing Loan Lender, plus, if such Swing Loan Lender so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of Letter of Credit Obligations (to the extent applicable, calculated using Dollar Equivalents). Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.3.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. Each Swing Loan Lender shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section 2.4.5 and of the apportionment among the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.3.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] are then satisfied) by the time such Swing Loan Lender so requests, which shall not be earlier than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day next after the date the Lenders receive such notice from such Swing Loan Lender.
               2.4.6 Swing Loans Under Cash Management Agreements. In addition to making Swing Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.4.3 [Making Swing Loans], without the requirement for a specific request from the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.3.2 [Swing Loan Requests], PNC as a Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans to the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of the agreements between the Company and such Swing Loan Lender relating to the Company’s deposit, sweep and other accounts at such Swing Loan Lender and related arrangements and agreements regarding the management and investment of the Company’s cash assets as in effect from time to time (the “Cash Management Agreements”) to the extent of the daily aggregate net negative balance in the Company’s

43


 

accounts which are subject to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements. Swing Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.4.6 in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements shall (i) be subject to the limitations as to aggregate amount set forth in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitment], (ii) not be subject to the limitations as to individual amount set forth in Section 2.3.2 [Swing Loan Requests], (iii) be payable by the Borrowers, both as to principal and interest, at the rates and times set forth in the Cash Management Agreements (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), (iv) not be made at any time after such Swing Loan Lender has received written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, or, unless consented to by the Required Lenders, a Potential Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, (v) if not repaid by the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements, be subject to each Lender’s obligation pursuant to Section 2.4.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans], and (vi) except as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v), be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Section 2. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that each Borrower materially benefits from the arrangements made pursuant to Section 2.3 and the Cash Management Agreements, and each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable, subject to Section 11.14 [Foreign Borrowers and Foreign Guarantors], for all Obligations, including without limitation, those arising from the operation of this Section.
               2.4.7 Records of Swing Loans in Optional Currencies. Each Swing Loan Lender which agrees in its discretion hereunder to provide Swing Loans in Optional Currencies to the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent with (i) written notice on the same Business Day of the advancing, repayment or prepayment of each such Swing Loan, specifying the amount so advanced, repaid or prepaid, (ii) immediately upon execution thereof, copies of each applicable Swing Loan Note, and (iii) promptly upon request, such other information as the Administrative Agent may request from time to time with respect to Swing Loans in Optional Currencies.
     2.5 Letter of Credit Subfacility.
               2.5.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrowers may at any time prior to the Expiration Date request the issuance of a standby letter of credit or Commercial Letter of Credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) which may be denominated in either Dollars or an Optional Currency on behalf of themselves, another Loan Party or another Subsidiary of the Company, or the amendment or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, by delivering or having such other Loan Party deliver to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a completed application and agreement for letters of credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as the Issuing Lender may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, the Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. All letters of credit which are identified on Schedule 2.5.1 hereto, which shall consist of all letters of credit issued under the Prior Senior Credit Facility which are outstanding on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have been issued under this Agreement. Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and

44


 

Issuance of Letters of Credit] is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.4.6, the Issuing Lender or any of the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates will issue a Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension, provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (B) in no event expire later than the Expiration Date and provided further that in no event shall (i) the Dollar Equivalent of Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, $25,000,000 (the “Letter of Credit Sublimit”) or (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments. Each request by the Borrowers for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that they shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence and with Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
     Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit, if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender (it being understood that the Issuing Lender would consider the Borrowers or the Defaulting Lender providing cash collateral to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, to secure the Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of the Letter of Credit, a satisfactory arrangement).
               2.5.2 Letter of Credit Fees.
               The Borrowers shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate, and (ii) to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to .125% per annum (in each case computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), which fees shall be computed on the Dollar Equivalent daily average Letter of Credit Obligations and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date following issuance of each Letter of Credit. The Borrowers shall also pay to the Issuing Lender for the Issuing Lender’s sole account the Issuing Lender’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as the Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.
               2.5.3 Disbursements, Reimbursement. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in a Dollar Equivalent amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.
                    2.5.3.1 In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent thereof. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the Issuing Lender prior to 12:00

45


 

noon on each date that an amount is paid by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender, in the same currency as paid, unless otherwise required by the Administrative Agent. In the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made in an Equivalent Amount of such Reimbursement Obligations by the Lenders in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements. The Borrowers’ failure to reimburse the Issuing Lender pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not constitute an Event of Default so long as the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment is sufficient to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the other conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements are satisfied. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5.3.1 may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
                    2.5.3.2 Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.5.3.1 make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount in Dollars in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.5.3 [Disbursement; Reimbursement]) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for any payment in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate) during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described in Section 2.5.3.1 above) of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such Drawing Date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.5.3.2.
                    2.5.3.3 With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.5.3.1, because of the Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements, or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in Dollars in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the

46


 

account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.5.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each a “Participation Advance”) from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.5.3.
               2.5.4 Repayment of Participation Advances.
                    2.5.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender of immediately available funds from the Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Administrative Agent shall retain for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by the Issuing Lender.
                    2.5.4.2 If the Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for any payment in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate) in effect from time to time.
               2.5.5 Documentation. Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Issuing Lender’s application and agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Lender’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
               2.5.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.
               2.5.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.5.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a

47


 

result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Lender upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.5.7 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:
          (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, or which any Loan Party may have against the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, any Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
          (ii) the failure of any Loan Party or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in Section 2.1 [Revolving Credit Commitments], Section 2.3 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], Section 2.4 [Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Etc.] or Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.5.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement];
          (iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;
          (iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party or any Lender against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);
          (v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates has been notified thereof;
          (vi) payment by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
          (vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

48


 

          (viii) any failure by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by any Loan Party, unless the Issuing Lender has received written notice from such Loan Party of such failure within three Business Days after the Issuing Lender shall have furnished such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;
          (ix) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;
          (x) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;
          (xi) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party;
          (xii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
          (xiii) the fact that the Expiration Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and
          (xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
               2.5.8 Indemnity. Each Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Lender and any of its Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Lender or any of Issuing Lender’s Affiliates of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Official Body.
               2.5.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Loan Party and the Issuing Lender, or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit

49


 

or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Official Body, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Lender’s or its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Issuing Lender from liability for the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.
          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Issuing Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of 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 Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (iv) 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 indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), 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 Letter of Credit; (v) 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; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.
          In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrowers or any Lender.

50


 

               2.5.10 Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements. Any Issuing Lender other than PNC shall, on the first Business Day of each month, provide to Administrative Agent and Borrowers a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party (if applicable), the original face amount (if any) and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit of such Lender outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating to such Letters of Credit that the Administrative Agent may request.
               2.5.11 Cash Collateral. Upon the request of Administrative Agent, (i) if any Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a Letter of Credit Borrowing which has not been repaid by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.5.3.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], or (ii) if, on the Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations. Each Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in all cash collateral pledged pursuant to this Section or otherwise under this Agreement.
     2.6 Utilization of Commitments in Optional Currencies.
               2.6.1 Periodic Computations of Dollar Equivalent Amounts of Revolving Credit Loans and Letters of Credit Outstanding; Repayment in Same Currency. For purposes of determining utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of (i) proposed Letters of Credit to be denominated in an Optional Currency as of the requested Borrowing Date or date of issuance, as the case may be, (ii) Letters of Credit Outstanding denominated in an Optional Currency as of the last Business Day of each month, and (iii) outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency as of the end of each Interest Period and, in the case of Swing Loans, as and when the Administrative Agent determines such computation is necessary (each such date under clauses (i) through (iii), and any other date on which the Administrative Agent determines it is necessary or advisable to make such computation, in its sole discretion, is referred to as a “Computation Date”). Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Loan and Reimbursement Obligation shall be repaid or prepaid in the same currency in which the Loan or Reimbursement Obligation was made.
               2.6.2 Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund New Loans. The Lenders shall be under no obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrowers which are denominated in an Optional Currency if any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent by 5:00 p.m. four (4) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Revolving Credit Loans that such Lender cannot provide its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency. In the event the Administrative Agent timely receives a notice from a Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers no later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Revolving Credit Loans that the Optional Currency is not then available for such Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same and the Lenders shall not make such Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrowers under their Loan Request. The Lenders shall also be under no obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrowers to be denominated in an Optional Currency if the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans (i) in such Optional

51


 

Currency, taking into account such requested Revolving Credit Loans and all other Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding in such Optional Currency, would exceed the individual Optional Currency Sublimit applicable to such requested Optional Currency, or (ii) in all Optional Currencies, taking into account such requested Revolving Credit Loans and all other Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding in all Optional Currencies, would exceed the aggregate Optional Currency Sublimit applicable to all Optional Currencies.
               2.6.3 Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund Renewals of the Euro-Rate Option. If the Borrowers deliver a Loan Request requesting that the Lenders renew the Euro-Rate Option with respect to an outstanding Borrowing Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to renew such Euro-Rate Option if any Lender delivers to the Administrative Agent a notice by 5:00 p.m. four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date of such renewal that such Lender cannot continue to provide Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency. In the event the Administrative Agent timely receives a notice from a Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers no later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days prior to the renewal date that the renewal of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency is not then available, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same. If the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrowers that any such continuation of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency is not then available, any notice of renewal with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn, and such Loans shall be redenominated into Loans in Dollars at the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option, at the Company’s option on behalf of the Borrowers (subject, in the case of the Euro-Rate Option, to compliance with Section 2.4 [Making Revolving Credit Loans, Etc.] and Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options]), with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of any such redenomination, and in such notice, the Administrative Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency as of the applicable Computation Date with respect thereto and such Lender’s Revolving Credit Ratable Share thereof.

52


 

               2.6.4 European Monetary Union.
                    2.6.4.1 Payments In Euros Under Certain Circumstances. If (i) any Optional Currency ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by the Euro or (ii) any Optional Currency and the Euro are at the same time recognized by any governmental authority of the nation issuing such currency as lawful currency of such nation and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request in a notice delivered to the Borrowers, then any amount payable hereunder by any party hereto in such Optional Currency shall instead by payable in the Euro and the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such Optional Currency to the Euro at the exchange rate established by that nation for the purpose of implementing the replacement of the relevant Optional Currency by the Euro (and the provisions governing payments in Optional Currencies in this Agreement shall apply to such payment in the Euro as if such payment in the Euro were a payment in an Optional Currency). Prior to the occurrence of the event or events described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, each amount payable hereunder in any Optional Currency will, except as otherwise provided herein, continue to be payable only in that currency.
                    2.6.4.2 Additional Compensation Under Certain Circumstances. The Borrowers agree, at the request of any Lender, to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost, expense or reduction in return that such Lender shall reasonably determine shall be incurred or sustained by such Lender as a result of the replacement of any Optional Currency by the Euro and that would not have been incurred or sustained but for the transactions provided for herein. A certificate of any Lender setting forth such Lender’s determination of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error so long as such determination is made on a reasonable basis. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
               2.6.5 Requests for Additional Optional Currencies. The Borrowers may deliver to the Administrative Agent a written request that Revolving Credit Loans hereunder also be permitted to be made in any other lawful currency (other than Dollars), in addition to the currencies specified in the definition of “Optional Currency” herein, provided that such currency must be freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets, freely transferable, freely convertible into Dollars and available to the Lenders in the Relevant Interbank Market. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such request promptly after the Administrative Agent receives such request. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the acceptance or rejection by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of the Borrowers’ request. The requested currency shall be approved as an Optional Currency hereunder only if the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders approve of the Borrowers’ request.
     2.7 Provisions Applicable to All Loans.
               2.7.1 Notes. The Obligation of the Borrowers to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans made to them by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a revolving credit Note and Swing Loan Notes dated as of the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender becomes a Lender or Swing Loan Lender, as the case may be, hereunder in accordance with this Agreement), payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or

53


 

Swing Loan Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender. Upon request to the Administrative Agent made prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender becomes a Lender or a Swing Loan Lender, as the case may be, hereunder in accordance with this Agreement), any Lender may elect to evidence the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans made by it through the maintenance in the ordinary course of business of accounts or records, which accounts or records shall be available to the Administrative Agent to review promptly upon request, in lieu of receipt of original Notes. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent with respect to such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control absent manifest error.
               2.7.2 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for repaying in full and terminating the Prior Senior Credit Facility and financing working capital, permitted capital expenditures, Permitted Acquisitions, the redemption, purchase or repurchase of 2015 Senior Notes and/or 2027 Convertible Notes and general corporate purposes (including the payment of fees and expenses related to foregoing permitted purposes).
               2.7.3 Commitment Fees. Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Borrowers agree to pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the average daily difference between the amount of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Revolving Facility Usage (except that for purposes of this computation, each Swing Loan Lender’s Swing Loans shall be deemed to be borrowed amounts under its Revolving Credit Commitment and not under the Revolving Credit Commitments of the other Lenders); provided, however, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to such time; and provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Subject to the proviso in the directly preceding sentence, all Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.
               2.7.4 Joint and Several Obligations. Subject to any limitations expressly set forth in Section 11.14 [Foreign Borrowers and Guarantors] with respect to Foreign Borrowers and in any Guaranty Agreement of any Foreign Guarantor with respect to Foreign Guarantors, all Obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors are joint and several.
3.  RESERVED
4.  INTEREST RATES
     4.1 Interest Rate Options. The Borrowers shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by them from the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing

54


 

Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than twelve (12) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and provided further that if an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Borrowers may not request, convert to, or renew the Euro-Rate Option for any Loans and all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest under the Euro-Rate Option shall be converted as their Interest Periods expire to the Base Rate Option. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan made in an Optional Currency shall be paid by the Borrowers in such Optional Currency.
               4.1.1 Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options; Swing Line Interest Rate. Subject to Section 4.3 [Interest During Event of Default], the Borrowers shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans except that no Loan to which a Base Rate shall apply may be made in an Optional Currency:
          (i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or
          (ii) Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan which is denominated in Canadian dollars, such rate per annum shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 day year.
          (iii) Swing Loans: Swing Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to Daily Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Loans bearing interest at the Euro-Rate Option; provided, however, that Swing Loans in Optional Currencies may, if necessary, bear interest based on an alternative daily floating rate of interest agreed among the applicable Swing Loan Lenders and Borrowers.
               4.1.2 Rate Quotations. The Borrowers may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.
     4.2 Interest Periods. At any time when the Borrowers shall select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof at least four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Interest Rate Option, with respect to a Loan in an Optional Currency, and, in all other cases, three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a Euro-Rate Option:

55


 

               4.2.1 Amount of Borrowing Tranche. Each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option shall be in integral multiples of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; and
               4.2.2 Renewals. In the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day.
     4.3 Interest During Event of Default. To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, and at the discretion of the Administrative Agent (or as directed by the Required Lenders in their discretion) effective following notice to the Borrowers:
               4.3.1 Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate. The Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.5.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] or Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall be increased either: (i) in the case of Letter of Credit Fees, if so directed by the Required Lenders, by 2.00% per annum; or (ii) in the case of each Loan, by an amount equal to the sum of (a) the excess, if any, of (x) the highest Applicable Margin set forth in Schedule 1.1(A) [Pricing Grid] with respect to Loans accruing interest based on the Base Rate Option, over (y) the existing Applicable Margin for such Loan, expressed as a percentage per annum, plus (b) if so directed by the Required Lenders, 2.00% per annum;
               4.3.2 Other Obligations. Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.00% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full; and
               4.3.3 Acknowledgment. The Borrowers acknowledge that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrowers upon demand by Administrative Agent.
     4.4 Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.
               4.4.1 Unascertainable. If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:
          (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or
          (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market or the CDOR Market, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].
               4.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. If at any time any Lender shall have determined that:

56


 

          (i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or
          (ii) such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or
          (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars or in the Optional Currency (as applicable) for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market,
then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].
               4.4.3 Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrowers thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrowers to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option or select on Optional Currency (as applicable) shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrowers, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the Borrowers have previously notified the Administrative Agent of their selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], the Borrowers shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either (i) as applicable, convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan, or select a different Optional Currency or Dollars, or (ii) prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrowers of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date.
     4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrowers fail to select a new Interest Period or Optional Currency to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in

57


 

accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrowers shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.
     4.6 Interest Act (Canada) Disclosure. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year or any other period less than a full year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or the number of days in such other period, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.
     4.7 Canadian Usury Provision. If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:
          (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and
          (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).
     4.8 Minimum Interest Clause for Swiss Borrowers. The rates of interest provided for in this Agreement, insofar as they relate to the Swiss Tranche, are minimum interest rates. When entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed that the interest payable by Swiss Borrowers at the rates set out in this Section or in other Sections of this Agreement is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax.
     Notwithstanding that the parties hereto do not anticipate that any payment of interest will be subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, such parties agree that, in the event that (a) Swiss Withholding Tax is imposed on interest payments by any Swiss Borrower and (b) such Swiss Borrower is unable, solely by reason of the Swiss Withholding Tax Act, to comply with Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of Taxes], then
          (i) the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be (A) the interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment as provided for in Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options] divided by (B) 1 minus the rate at which the relevant Tax deduction is required to be made under Swiss domestic tax law and/or applicable double taxation treaties (where the rate at which the relevant Tax deduction is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a fraction of 1); and

58


 

          (ii) the Swiss Borrower shall (A) pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance with paragraph (i) above, (B) make the Tax deduction on the interest so recalculated and (C) all references to a rate of interest under the Agreement shall be construed accordingly.
     To the extent that interest payable by a Swiss Borrower under this Agreement becomes subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, at the Borrowers’ expense, the Parties shall promptly cooperate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate Tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary for the specific Swiss Borrower to obtain the tax ruling from Swiss Federal Tax Administration.
     All the other provisions of Section 5.9 [Taxes] shall otherwise apply except for the gross-up requirement provided for under Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of Taxes].
5.  PAYMENTS
     5.1 Payments. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the Swing Loan Lenders with respect to the Swing Loans and for the ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars (unless otherwise provided herein) and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m. by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Lenders the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in Dollars, or the Overnight Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in an Optional Currency, with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account stated.”
     5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to, or renewal of, any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrowers with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for the Administrative Agent’s Fee and the Issuing Lender’s fronting fee) or amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the Commitments and Loans, shall (except as otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender and except as provided in Section 4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] or Section 5.8 [Increased Costs]) be payable ratably among the Lenders entitled to such payment in accordance with the amount of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, and other fees or amounts then due or payable to such Lenders as set forth in this Agreement.

59


 

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrowers of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due from the Borrowers solely with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to the Swing Loan Lenders according to Section 2.4.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans].
     5.3 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
          (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and
          (ii) the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall apply).
          Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
          Any Lender that fails at any time to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender until such time as it performs its obligations hereunder and is not otherwise a Defaulting Lender for any other reason. A Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of or relating to outstanding Loans, Letters of Credit, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-defaulting Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective Ratable Share of all outstanding Loans and other unpaid Obligations of any of the Loan Parties. The Defaulting Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the non-defaulting Lenders in proportion to their respective Ratable Share of all outstanding Loans and other unpaid Obligations of any of the Loan Parties to which such Lenders are entitled. A Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied the provisions of this Section 5.3 when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans and other unpaid

60


 

Obligations of any of the Loan Parties to the non-defaulting Lenders, the Lenders’ respective Ratable Share of all outstanding Loans and unpaid Obligations have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such violation of this Section 5.3.
     5.4 Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for payments in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate) and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
     5.5 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 5.7 [Mandatory Prepayments and Related Commitment Reductions] shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated Expiration Date, upon acceleration or otherwise).
     5.6 Voluntary Prepayments.
               5.6.1 Right to Prepay. The Borrowers shall have the right at their option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] below, in Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] and Section 5.10 [Indemnity]). Whenever the Borrowers desire to prepay any part of the Loans, they shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans, and at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of any Loans in an Optional Currency, or no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, setting forth the following information:
     (w) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;
     (x) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans;
     (y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies and Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies; and

61


 

     (z) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than the lesser of (i) the Revolving Facility Usage or $500,000 for any Revolving Credit Loan or (ii) $100,000 for any Swing Loan.
                    All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Except as provided in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], if the Borrowers prepay a Loan but fail to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrowers are prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, and then to Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies which are not in Optional Currencies, and then to Loans in Optional Currencies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrowers’ Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]. Prepayments shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, unless otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent. Revolving Credit Loan prepayments shall not result in a reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments unless the Borrowers have so elected pursuant to Section 2.1.1.3 [Reduction in Revolving Credit Commitments], or as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement.
               5.6.2 Replacement of a Lender. In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], (ii) requests compensation under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], or requires the Borrowers to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), or (v) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers], then in any such event the Borrowers may, at their sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
          (i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns];
          (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
          (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
          (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.

62


 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
     5.7 Mandatory Prepayments and Related Commitment Reductions.
               5.7.1 Sale of Assets. Within five (5) Business Days of any sale of assets by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) authorized by clause (viii) of Section 8.2.7 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries] resulting in Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year or any other sale of assets not permitted under Section 8.2.7 [Disposition of Assets or Subsidiaries], if the proceeds are not intended by such Loan Party to be used within 270 days for the purchase of replacement of assets (or on such 270th day if the Loan Parties intended to use such proceeds for such replacement but fail to do so within such 270-day period), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans (or Dollar Equivalent thereof, as applicable) equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth below in this Section 5.7); provided that at any time the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as of the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to such sale for which a Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of the Company], is equal to or less than 2.25 to 1.00 and no Event of Default exists, then such prepayment otherwise required as the result of a sale of assets authorized by Section 8.2.7(viii) shall not be required.
               5.7.2 Debt Issuances. Upon the incurrence or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) of any Indebtedness in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year authorized by Section 8.2.1(x) or any other incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries not permitted to be incurred or issued in accordance with Section 8.2.1 [Indebtedness], the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans (or Dollar Equivalent thereof, as applicable) equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth below in this Section 5.7); provided that if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as of the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to such issuance for which a Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of the Company], is equal to or less than 2.25 to 1.00 and no Event of Default exists, then such prepayment otherwise required as the result of the incurrence or issuance of any Indebtedness authorized by Section 8.2.1(x) shall not be required.
               5.7.3 Equity Issuances. Upon the sale or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Equity Interests (other than sales or issuances expressly permitted to be consummated in accordance with Section 8.2.12 [Issuance of Stock]), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans (or Dollar Equivalent thereof, as applicable) equal to 50% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth below in this Section 5.7); provided that if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as of the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to such issuance for which a Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of the Company], is equal to or less than 2.25 to 1.00 and no Event of Default exists, then such prepayment shall not be required.

63


 

               5.7.4 Material Recovery Events. Upon the receipt of proceeds of any Material Recovery Event by or paid to or for the account of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party, not otherwise described in a preceding section of this Section 5.7, if the recovered proceeds are not intended by such Loan Party to be used within 270 days for the repair, replacement or restoration of damaged property or in the case of a Material Recovery Event consisting of a tax refund, to pay taxes (or on such 270th day if the Borrowers intended to use such proceeds for such repair, replacement, restoration or payment of taxes but fail to so use all such proceeds within such 270-day period), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans (or Dollar Equivalent thereof, as applicable) equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds (or such lesser amount as shall not have been used as permitted hereunder to repair, replace or restore damaged property or payment of taxes) received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth below in this Section 5.7); provided that if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as of the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to such issuance for which a Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of the Company], is equal to or less than 2.25 to 1.00 and no Event of Default exists, then such prepayment shall not be required.
               5.7.5 Currency Fluctuations. If on any Computation Date, the sum of the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage is greater than the Revolving Credit Commitments (or, in the case of Swing Loans, the sum of the Dollar Equivalent Swing Loans is greater than any of the limitations thereupon set forth in Section 2.1.2.2 [Swing Loans in Optional Currencies]) as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or more Optional Currencies and Dollars, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of the same. Subject to Section 2.4.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans] if applicable with respect to Swing Loans, the Borrowers shall pay or prepay the Revolving Credit Loans (subject to Borrowers’ indemnity obligations contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], Section 5.9 [Taxes] and Section 5.10 [Indemnity]) within three (3) Business Days after receiving such notice such that the sum of the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage no longer exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (or, in the case of Swing Loans, such other limitations thereupon set forth in Section 2.1.2.2 [Swing Loans in Optional Currencies]).
               5.7.6 Application of Payments.
                    5.7.6.1 Application Among Interest Rates and Currencies. All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the applicable Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans denominated in Dollars and subject to a Euro-Rate Option and then to Loans of Optional Currencies subject to the Euro-Rate Option, and the Borrowers will be subject to the indemnity obligation set forth in Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] and Section 5.9 [Taxes]. In accordance with Section 5.10 [Indemnity], each Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.
                    5.7.6.2 Application of Prepayments. All prepayments pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Credit Loans (without a permanent corresponding Revolving Credit Commitment reduction unless otherwise provided in this Agreement).

64


 

                    5.7.6.3 No Deemed Cure. The payment of any mandatory prepayment as required by this Section 5.7 shall not be deemed to cure any Event of Default caused under another provision of this Agreement by the same occurrence which gave rise to the mandatory prepayment obligation under this Section 5.7.
     5.8 Increased Costs.
               5.8.1 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
          (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Euro-Rate) or the Issuing Lender;
          (ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 5.9 [Taxes] and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender); or
          (iii) impose on any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
               5.8.2 Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the

65


 

Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
               5.8.3 Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or Section 5.8.2 [Capital Requirements] and in reasonable detail the calculations necessary to determine such amount or amounts and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
               5.8.4 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six(6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
     5.9 Taxes.
               5.9.1 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be required by applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives a net payment equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and withholdings and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrowers’ obligations hereunder shall apply regardless of whether the Indemnified Taxes or other Taxes are an obligation of any Borrower or of any Lender. Each Foreign Borrower undertakes to provide the Administrative Agent, promptly upon request, with such documents as may be reasonably necessary under any Law or treaty for the availability of any relief from the a foreign jurisdiction withholding or other applicable tax.
     Each Lender participating in any Loan to a Swiss Borrower represents and warrants as at the date of this Agreement that it is a Qualifying Bank or, if participating in any Loan as a Permitted Non-Qualifying Lender, that any information given by it to all Swiss Borrowers to determine whether they would constitute one (1) person only for the purposes of the Swiss Bank Rules is accurate in all material respects and each Lender becoming a Lender by assignment or transfer under Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders] shall represent and warrant as at the

66


 

effective date of such assignment or transfer that it is a Qualifying Bank by delivery of its Assignment and Assumption Agreement or, if it is a Permitted Non-Qualifying Lender, that any information given by it to the Swiss Borrowers to determine compliance with the Swiss Bank Rules is accurate in all material respects.
               5.9.2 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of Taxes] above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law.
               5.9.3 Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.9) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
               5.9.4 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to an Official Body, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
               5.9.5 Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which each Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding the submission of a such documentation claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the United States Income Tax Regulations. Further, the Administrative Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

67


 

          If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any taxes in respect of or calculated with reference to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.9, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 5.9 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.
          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
          (i) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,
          (ii) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,
          (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN,
          (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, or
          (v) to the extent that any Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall submit to the Administrative Agent two (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 or any other form prescribed by applicable Law demonstrating that such Lender is not a Foreign Lender.

68


 

          If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would not be subject (in whole or in part) to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to comply with the applicable reporting or disclosure requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or Administrative Agent, such documentation or certifications prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation or certifications reasonably requested by the Company or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations to withhold or report under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment.
               5.9.6 Lender’s Cooperation in Tax Matters. Promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, at the Borrowers’ expense, each of the Lenders agrees to cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for any Loan Party to obtain authorization to make any payments under this Agreement without any deduction or withholding for or on account of taxes from a payment under a Loan Document. Each of the Lenders further agrees to provide such information as any Swiss Borrower may reasonably request from time to time to determine such Swiss Borrower’s compliance with Swiss Bank Rules.
          Within thirty (30) days after request by any Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, Invacare Limited shall file a duly completed form DTTP-2 in respect of such Lender, with HM Revenue and Customs and shall promptly provide Lender with a copy of that filing.
     5.10 Indemnity. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.9 [Taxes], the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including any reasonably calculated loss of any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any
          (i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due),
          (ii) attempt by the Borrowers to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.3 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] or Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments], or
          (iii) default by the Borrowers in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any failure of the Borrowers to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, Commitment Fee or any other amount due hereunder.

69


 

          If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrowers of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrowers to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.
     5.11 Settlement Date Procedures. In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans and the Swing Loan Lenders may make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitments] hereof during the period between Settlement Dates. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Loans (each a “Required Share”). On such Settlement Date, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to the difference between its Required Share and its Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall also effect settlement in accordance with the foregoing sentence on the proposed Borrowing Dates for Revolving Credit Loans and on any dates scheduled for mandatory prepayments hereunder, and may at its option effect settlement on any other Business Day. These settlement procedures are established solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and nothing contained in this Section 5.11 shall relieve the Lenders of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates other than a Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitment]. The Administrative Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each Lender to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and each Lender may at any time require the Administrative Agent to pay immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.
     5.12 Interbank Market Presumption. For all purposes of this Agreement and each Note with respect to any aspects of the Euro-Rate, any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option or any Optional Currency, each Lender and Administrative Agent shall be presumed to have obtained rates, funding, currencies, deposits, and the like in the Relevant Interbank Market regardless of whether it did so or not; and, each Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s determination of amounts payable under, and actions required or authorized by, Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], Section 5.9 [Taxes] and Section 5.10 [Indemnity] shall be calculated, at each Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s option, as though each Lender and Administrative Agent funded each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option through the purchase of deposits of the types and maturities corresponding to the deposits used as a reference in accordance with the terms hereof in determining the Euro-Rate applicable to such Loans, whether in fact that is the case.
     5.13 Judgment Currency.
               5.13.1 Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under a Note in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used

70


 

shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, each Lender could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
               5.13.2 Indemnity in Certain Events. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due from the Borrowers to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to indemnify such Lender against such loss. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original Currency, such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).
     5.14 Parallel Debt (Dutch Law Provisions).
               5.14.1 Corresponding Obligations and relevant US Companies. In this Section 5.14, “Corresponding Obligations” means any obligation, present or future, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any one or more of them, under the Loan Documents (other than the Parallel Debt (as defined below)). In this Section 5.14, “US Company” means each of Invacare Holdings LLC and Invacare International Corporation.
               5.14.2 Parallel Debt. Each US Company irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount payable by it in respect of its Corresponding Obligations as they may exist from time to time. The payment undertaking of each US Company to the Administrative Agent under this clause is referred to as a “Parallel Debt”. Each Parallel Debt will be payable in the currency or currencies of the relevant Corresponding Obligations.
               5.14.3 Nature of Parallel Debt. Each Parallel Debt of an US Company:
          (i) will become due and payable upon the Administrative Agent’s first demand, which may be made at any time on or after the date on which one or more of the Corresponding Obligations of that US Company become due and payable;
          (ii) constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of the relevant US Company to the Administrative Agent which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Corresponding Obligations; and
          (iii) represents the Administrative Agent’s own separate and independent claim to receive payment of that Parallel Debt from the relevant US Company,
provided that the total amount which may become due under the Parallel Debt of such US Company under this Section 5.14 will never exceed the total amount which may become due under the Corresponding Obligations of such US Company.

71


 

               5.14.4 Decrease of Corresponding Obligations / Parallel Debt.
          (i) The total amount due by an US Company as the Parallel Debt under this Section 5.14 will be decreased to the extent that such US Company has paid any amount to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any one or more of them to reduce such US Company’s outstanding Corresponding Obligations or the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any one or more of them otherwise receive(s) any amount in payment of such Corresponding Obligations (other than by virtue of subparagraph (ii) below); and
          (ii) to the extent that an US Company has paid any amount to the Administrative Agent under the Parallel Debt or the Administrative Agent has otherwise received monies in payment of such Parallel Debt, the total amount due under the Corresponding Obligations will be decreased.
               5.14.5 Creditor of the Parallel Debt. Any security rights governed by Dutch law granted under the Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent to secure the Parallel Debt are granted to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt and shall not be held on trust.

74

The Liens in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement (and the deposit account control agreements to be executed in connection therewith) and the Patent, Trademark and Copyright Security Agreement (collectively, the “Collateral Documents”) constitute and will continue to constitute (except as expressly provided otherwise in the Security Agreement) Prior Security Interests in the Collateral.

Each Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan, except where any such failure would not constitute a Material Adverse Change.

current value of that Pension Plan’s assets, determined in accordance with the assumptions used for funding the Pension Plan for the applicable plan year), except where such liability would not constitute a Material Adverse Change; (b) neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA), except where such liability would not constitute a Material Adverse Change; (c) neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan, except where such liability would not constitute a Material Adverse Change; and (d) neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA, except where such transaction would not constitute a Material Adverse Change.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties are aware of, and have disclosed, the existence of the OIG Investigation. The Loan Parties believe that the programs described in the subpoena are in compliance with all applicable Laws, except where the failure to be in compliance would not constitute a Material Adverse Change. The Loan Parties are cooperating fully with the government inquiry.
               6.1.17 Licensing and Accreditation. Except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Material Adverse Change or result in liability for the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries in excess of $15,000,000 or result in criminal liability for any Loan Party, (a) each of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries has, to the extent applicable: (i) obtained and maintains in good standing all required licenses; and (ii) to the extent prudent and customary in the industry in which it is engaged, obtained and maintains accreditation from all generally recognized accrediting agencies; and (b) all such required licenses and accreditations are in full force and effect on the date hereof and have not been revoked or suspended or otherwise limited.
               6.1.18 Other Regulatory Protection. Except for oxygen products, none of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries manufactures pharmaceutical products. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1.18, none of the Loan Parties and none of the Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties (a) participates in Medicare or Medicaid as a provider or supplier, rather, the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries are manufacturers and sell to providers for purposes of Medicare, Medicaid and any other Medical Reimbursement Program, (b) is a party to any Medicare Provider Agreement or Medicaid Provider Agreement, or (c) bills for items or services to any Medical Reimbursement Program.

Neither the FDA, the FTC, OSHA, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, nor any other such regulatory authority has requested (or, to the knowledge of any Authorized Officer, are considering requesting) any product recalls or other enforcement actions that (a) if complied with, individually or in the aggregate, could constitute a Material Adverse Change or (b) with which the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries have not complied within the time period allowed.
               6.1.19 Compliance with the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule. Subject to the Lenders complying with their representations under Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of Taxes] and the requirement of Section 5.9.6 [Lender’s Cooperation in Tax Matters], each Swiss Borrower is in compliance with the Twenty Non-Bank Rule (taking into account in particular the ordinance of the Swiss Federal Council of June 18, 2010 amending the Swiss Federal Ordinance on withholding tax and the Swiss Federal Ordinance on stamp duties with effect as of August 1, 2010). Each Swiss Borrower, in determining compliance with Swiss Bank Rules, may assume that up to ten (10) of the Lenders under this Agreement are not Qualifying Banks if it cannot determine the exact number thereof.
          6.2 Updates to Schedules. Should any of the information or disclosures provided on any of the Schedules attached hereto pursuant to this Section 6 become outdated or incorrect in any material respect, the Borrowers shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent in writing

77


 

with such revisions or updates to such Schedule as may be necessary or appropriate to update or correct same. No Schedule shall be deemed to have been amended, modified or superseded by any such correction or update, nor shall any breach of warranty or representation resulting from the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any such Schedule be deemed to have been cured thereby, unless and until the Required Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, shall have accepted in writing such revisions or updates to such Schedule; provided, however, that the Borrowers may update Schedules 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and 6.1.14 without any Lender approval in connection with any transaction permitted under Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions], Section 8.2.7 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries] and Section 8.2.9 [Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures].

     The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, covenant and agree that until Payment In Full, the Loan Parties shall comply at all times with the following covenants:
     8.1 Affirmative Covenants.
               8.1.1 Preservation of Existence, Etc. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain its legal existence as a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company and its license or qualification and good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the nature of its business makes such license or qualification necessary, except (i) where the failure to so maintain would not constitute a Material Adverse Change and (ii) as otherwise expressly permitted in Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Etc.] or Section 8.2.7(xii) [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries].
               8.1.2 Payment of Liabilities, Including Taxes, Etc. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge all liabilities to which it is subject or which are asserted against it, promptly as and when the same shall become due and payable, including all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges upon it or any of its properties, assets, income or profits, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, except to the extent that such liabilities, including taxes, assessments or charges, are being contested in good faith and by appropriate and lawful proceedings diligently conducted and for which such reserve or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall have been made but only to the extent that failure to discharge any such liabilities would not result in a Material Adverse Change; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries will pay all liabilities forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any Lien which may have attached as security therefor.
               8.1.3 Maintenance of Insurance. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, insure its properties and assets against loss or damage by fire and such other insurable hazards as such assets are commonly insured (including fire, extended coverage, property damage, workers’ compensation, public liability and business interruption insurance) and against other risks (including errors and omissions) in such amounts as similar properties and assets are insured by prudent companies in similar circumstances carrying on similar businesses, and with reputable and financially sound insurers, including self-insurance to the extent customary. The Loan Parties shall comply with the covenants and provide the endorsement set forth on Schedule 8.1.3 relating to property and related insurance policies covering the Collateral.
               8.1.4 Maintenance of Properties and Leases.

               8.1.5 Visitation Rights. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any of the officers or authorized employees or representatives of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to visit and inspect any of its properties and to

81


 

examine and make excerpts from its books and records and discuss its business affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, all in such detail and at such times and as often as any of the Lenders may reasonably request, provided, so long as no Event of Default exists, such visits and inspections shall be limited to no more frequently than twice per calendar year and; provided, further, that each Lender shall provide the Company and the Administrative Agent with reasonable notice prior to any visit or inspection. In the event any Lender desires to conduct an audit of any Loan Party, such Lender shall make a reasonable effort to conduct such audit contemporaneously with any audit to be performed by the Administrative Agent.
               8.1.6 Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Loan Parties shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary of the Loan Parties to, maintain and keep proper books of record and account which enable the Company and its Subsidiaries to issue financial statements in accordance with GAAP and as otherwise required by applicable Laws of any Official Body having jurisdiction over the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and in which full, true and correct entries shall be made in all material respects of all its dealings and business and financial affairs.
               8.1.7 Compliance with Laws; Use of Proceeds. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws, in all respects; provided that it shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 8.1.7 if any failure to comply with any Law would not result in fines, penalties, remediation costs, other similar liabilities or injunctive relief which in the aggregate would constitute a Material Adverse Change. The Loan Parties will use the Letters of Credit and the proceeds of the Loans only in accordance with Section 2.7.2 [Use of Proceeds] and as permitted by applicable Law.
               8.1.8 Further Assurances. Each Loan Party shall, from time to time, at its expense, faithfully preserve and protect the Administrative Agent’s Lien on and (except as expressly provided otherwise in the Security Agreement) Prior Security Interest in the Collateral whether now owned or hereafter, and shall do such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to preserve, perfect and protect the Liens granted under the Loan Documents and to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies thereunder with respect to the Collateral.
               8.1.9 Anti-Terrorism Laws. None of the Loan Parties is or shall be (i) a Person with whom any Lender is restricted from doing business under Executive Order No. 13224 or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, (ii) engaged in any business involved in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of such a Person or in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law, or (iii) otherwise in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law. The Loan Parties shall provide to the Lenders any certifications or information that a Lender requests to confirm compliance by the Loan Parties with Anti-Terrorism Laws. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from the Loan Parties or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

82


 

     The Loan Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” Laws, whether within Canada or elsewhere (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties, their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Loan Parties shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assign or participant of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence. If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent: (a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and (b) shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.
               8.1.10 Material Contracts. Each of the Loan Parties shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, perform and observe all of the terms and provisions of each Material Contract (including, without limitation, each Medicare Provider Agreement, Medicaid Provider Contract and other contract and agreement relating to Medical Reimbursement Programs) to be performed or observed by it, maintain each such Material Contract in full force and effect, and enforce each such Material Contract in accordance with its terms, in each case unless (a) the applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary determines in the exercise of its good faith judgment that any such action is not in the best business interests of such Loan Party or Subsidiary or (b) the failure of such Loan Party or Subsidiary to take any such action would not constitute a Material Adverse Change.
               8.1.11 Designation as Senior Debt. Each of the Loan Parties shall cause the Obligations to be designated as “Designated Senior Indebtedness” under, and as defined in, the governing documents with respect to the 2027 Convertible Notes (as in effect from time to time).
               8.1.12 Compliance with the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rules. Each Swiss Borrower shall ensure at any time that it is in compliance with the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rules (taking into account in particular the ordinance of the Swiss Federal Council of June 18, 2010 amending the Swiss Federal Ordinance on withholding tax and the Swiss Federal Ordinance on stamp duties with effect as of August 1, 2010), provided that a Swiss Borrower shall not be in breach of this Section 8.1.12 if its number of creditors in respect of the Swiss Twenty Non-Bank Rule is exceeded solely by reason of a failure by one or more of the Lenders to comply with their obligations under Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of Taxes], Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders] or Section 5.9.6 [Lender’s Cooperation in Tax Matters]. Each Swiss Borrower, in determining compliance with Swiss Bank Rules, may assume that up to ten (10) of the Lenders under this Agreement are not Qualifying Banks if it cannot determine the exact number thereof.

SCHEDULE 8.1.3
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO THE COLLATERAL
COVENANTS:
At the request of the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders (x) on the Closing Date and annually thereafter an original certificate of insurance signed by the Loan Parties’ independent insurance broker describing and certifying as to the existence of the insurance on the Collateral required to be maintained by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with a copy of the endorsement described in the next sentence attached to such certificate, and (y) from time to time a summary schedule indicating all insurance then in force with respect to each of the Loan Parties. Such policies of insurance shall contain special endorsements which include the provisions set forth below or are otherwise in form acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its discretion. The applicable Loan Parties shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly of any occurrence causing a material loss or decline in value of the Collateral and the estimated (or actual, if available) amount of such loss or decline. Any monies received by the Administrative Agent constituting insurance proceeds may, at the option of the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of property insurance proceeds received during the existence of an Event of Default, be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, (ii) for losses of less than $15,000,000 received at such time as no Event of Default exists, be disbursed by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Loan Parties, and (iii) for losses equal to or greater than $15,000,000 received at such time as no Event of Default exists, be disbursed by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Loan Parties on such terms as are deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the repair, restoration and/or replacement of Collateral and other property in respect of which such proceeds were received.
ENDORSEMENT:
(i) specify the Administrative Agent as an additional insured, mortgagee and lender loss payee as its interests may appear (as applicable),
(ii) with respect to all property insurance policies, provide that the interest of the Lenders shall be insured regardless of any breach or violation by the applicable Loan Parties of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policies or any action or inaction of the applicable Loan Parties or others insured under such policies, except that the insurer shall not be obligated to maintain the insurance if the breach consists of non-payment of premiums which continues for 30 days after written notice to Administrative Agent,
(iii) provide a waiver of any right of the insurers to set off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise,
(iv) provide that any and all rights of subrogation which the insurers may have or acquire against the Loan Parties shall be, at all times and in all respects, junior and subordinate to the prior Payment In Full of the Indebtedness hereunder and that no insurer shall exercise or assert any right of subrogation until such time as the Indebtedness hereunder has been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated,

 


 

(v) provide that no cancellation of such policies for any reason (including non-payment of premium) nor any change therein shall be effective until at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such cancellation or change,
(vi) be primary without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of any additional insureds with respect to their respective interests in the Collateral, and
(vii) provide that inasmuch as the policy covers more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements (except limits of liability) shall operate as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.

 


 

SCHEDULE 8.2.1
EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS
1.   All indebtedness related to the Permitted Liens set forth on Schedule 1.1(P)
 
2.   All indebtedness related to Letters of Credit set forth on Schedule 2.5.1
 
3.   Indebtedness under performance, surety, statutory, appeal or other bonds in an aggregate amount equal to $3,224,760
 
4.   Other indebtedness related to real estate building leases with respect to the following properties in an aggregate amount equal to $8,657,971:
     9. Additional Pledgors.
     It is anticipated that additional Persons will from time to time become Subsidiaries of the Borrowers or Guarantors, each of whom, if it is a Domestic Loan Party, will be required to join this Pledge Agreement as a Pledgor. It is acknowledged and agreed that each such Person will become a Pledgor hereunder and will be bound hereby simply by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent a Guarantor Joinder in the form of Exhibit 1.1(G)(1) to the Credit Agreement or Borrower Joinder in the form of Exhibit 1.1(B) to the Credit Agreement (as applicable). In addition, a new Schedule A hereto shall be provided to Administrative Agent showing the pledge of the ownership interest in such new Pledgor’s Subsidiaries that are required to be pledged pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any ownership interests that such new Pledgor owns in any other Person that are required to be pledged pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of which shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
     10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
     No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided under the other Loan Documents or by Law. Each Pledgor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent to proceed against any other Person or to exhaust any of the Pledged Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations or to pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s power.
     11. No Discharge Until Indefeasible Payment of the Secured Obligations.
     The pledge, security interests, and other Liens and the obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise diminished by any failure, default, omission, or delay, willful or otherwise, by Administrative Agent, or any other obligor on any of the Secured Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Pledgor or which would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Pledgor as a matter of law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby consents to, and the pledge, security

- 10 -


 

interests, and other Liens given by such Pledgor hereunder shall not be diminished, terminated, or otherwise similarly affected by any of the following at any time and from time to time:
          (i) Any lack of genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability, or allowability (in a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or otherwise), or any avoidance or subordination, in whole or in part, of any Loan Document, any obligations in connection with any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product or any of the Secured Obligations and regardless of any law, regulation, or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the Secured Obligations, any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Person with respect thereto;
          (ii) Any increase, decrease, or change in the amount, nature, type or purpose of any of or any release, surrender, exchange, compromise or settlement of any of the Secured Obligations (whether or not contemplated by the Loan Documents as presently constituted); any change in the time, manner, method, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, any of the Secured Obligations; any execution or delivery of any additional Loan Documents; or any amendment, modification or supplement to, or refinancing or refunding of, any Loan Document, any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product or any of the Secured Obligations;
          (iii) Any failure to assert any breach of or default under any Loan Document, any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product or any of the Secured Obligations; any extensions of credit in excess of the amount committed under or contemplated by the Loan Documents or any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product, or in circumstances in which any condition to such extensions of credit has not been satisfied; any other exercise or non-exercise, or any other failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action in connection with any exercise or non-exercise, of any right or remedy against such Pledgor or any other Person under or in connection with any Loan Document or any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product or any of the Secured Obligations; any refusal of payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, whether or not with any reservation of rights against any Pledgor; or any application of collections (including collections resulting from realization upon any direct or indirect security for the Secured Obligations) to other obligations, if any, not entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, in preference to Secured Obligations or, if any collections are applied to Secured Obligations, any application to particular Secured Obligations;
          (iv) Any taking, exchange, amendment, modification, supplement, termination, subordination, release, loss, or impairment of, or any failure to protect, perfect, or preserve the value of, or any enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or any failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action by the Administrative Agent or any other Person in connection with the enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or, any other action or inaction by Administrative Agent or any other Person in respect of, any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations (including the Pledged Collateral). As used in this Agreement, “direct or indirect security” for the Secured Obligations, and similar phrases,

- 11 -


 

includes any collateral security, guaranty, suretyship, letter of credit, capital maintenance agreement, put option, subordination agreement, or other right or arrangement of any nature providing direct or indirect assurance of payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, made by or on behalf of any Person;
          (v) Any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, charter revocation, or forfeiture, or other change in, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of, any Pledgor or any Borrower or any other Person; any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to any Pledgor or any Borrower or any other Person; or any action taken or election (including any election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable law of any jurisdiction) made by Administrative Agent or any Pledgor or any Borrower or by any other Person in connection with any such proceeding;
          (vi) Any defense, setoff, or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Pledgor or any Borrower or any other Person with respect to any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; or any discharge by operation of law or release of any Pledgor or any Borrower or any other Person from the performance or observance of any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; and
          (vii) Any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and whether known or unknown, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or limit the liability of a guarantor or a surety, including any Pledgor, excepting only full, strict, and indefeasible payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in full.
     12. Taxes.
          (i) No Deductions. All payments and collections made by or from any Pledgor under this Agreement shall be made or received free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding Excluded Taxes (all such non-Excluded Taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Pledgor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable or any collection made under this Agreement, (a) the sum payable or collectable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable or collectable under this Subsection) Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Pledgor shall make such deductions and (c) such Pledgor shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant tax authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law;
          (ii) Stamp Taxes. In addition, each Pledgor acknowledges that the Pledged Collateral secures payment of all present and future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment or collection made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”);

- 12 -


 

          (iii) Indemnification for Taxes Paid by Administrative Agent. Each Pledgor acknowledges that the Pledged Collateral secures the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 12) paid by Administrative Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted;
          (iv) Certificate. In the event any Pledgor pays any Taxes or Other Taxes, within 30 days after the date of any such payment, such Pledgor shall furnish to Administrative Agent, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof;
          (v) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Pledgor hereunder, the agreements and obligations of each Pledgor contained in Clauses (a) through (d) directly above shall survive the Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations, termination or expiration of the Commitments and expiration of the Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.
     13. Waivers.
     Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all defenses which any Pledgor may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like and each Pledgor hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding section hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor hereby further waives each of the following:
          (i) All notices, disclosures and demands of any nature which otherwise might be required from time to time to preserve intact any rights against such Pledgor, including the following: any notice of any event or circumstance described in the immediately preceding section hereof; any notice required by any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction; any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance, dishonor, or protest under any Loan Document or any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product or any of the Secured Obligations; any notice of the incurrence of any Secured Obligations; any notice of any default or any failure on the part of such Pledgor or any Borrower or any other Person to comply with any Loan Document or Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product or any of the Secured Obligations or any requirement pertaining to any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; and any notice or other information pertaining to the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or prospects of the Borrowers or any other Person;
          (ii) Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against such Pledgor or any Borrower or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding, or to the exercise against such Pledgor or any Borrower, or any other Person of any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document, any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided

- 13 -


 

Financial Service Product, or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Person; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default under, any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any requirement that any Pledgor receive notice of any such acceptance;
          (iii) Any defense or other right arising by reason of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including anti-deficiency laws, “one action” laws, or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the Administrative Agent (including commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of collateral security for any of the Secured Obligations), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent to seek a deficiency against any Borrower or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Secured Obligations.
     14. Setoff.
     Pledgor hereby waives and releases, and shall not assert, any and all rights of setoff and any similar claims or actions whatsoever now and hereafter it may have at any time against the Secured Party or any Lender, any of the Secured Party’s or any Lender’s Affiliates, and any of the respective successors, assigns, and participants of the Secured Party or any Lender or any Affiliate of the Secured Party or any Lender.
     15. Assignment.
     All rights of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. All obligations of each Pledgor shall bind its successors and assigns; provided, however, no Pledgor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein, and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void.
     16. Severability.
     Any provision of this Agreement which shall be held invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.
     17. Governing Law.
     This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of law principles, except to the extent the validity or perfection of the security interests or the remedies hereunder in respect of any Pledged Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

- 14 -


 

     18. Notices.
     All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications (collectively, “notices”) given to or made upon any party hereto under the provisions of this Agreement shall be as set forth in Section 11.5 [Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication] of the Credit Agreement.
     19. Specific Performance.
     Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the other rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, because the Administrative Agent’s remedies at law for failure of such Pledgor to comply with the provisions hereof relating to the Administrative Agent’s rights (i) as permitted herein, to inspect the books and records related to the Pledged Collateral, (ii) to receive the various notifications such Pledgor is required to deliver hereunder, (iii) to obtain copies of agreements and documents as provided herein with respect to the Pledged Collateral, (iv) to enforce the provisions hereof pursuant to which the such Pledgor has appointed the Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, and (v) to enforce the Administrative Agent’s remedies hereunder, would be inadequate and that any such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, such Pledgor agrees that each such provision hereof may be specifically enforced.
     20. Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.
     So long as no Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under the Credit Agreement, each Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that such Pledgor will not exercise or will refrain from exercising any such voting and other consensual right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, as the case may be, if such action would have a material adverse effect on the Administrative Agent’s Lien therein under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition thereto, the Pledgors shall not vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any of the Subsidiaries to issue any stock, member interests, partnership interests or other equity securities, member interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests of any nature or to issue any other securities, shares, capital stock, member interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock, member interests, partnership interests or other equity securities, member interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests of any nature of any such Subsidiary or to enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of the Pledgor or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Collateral.
     21. Consent to Jurisdiction.
     Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in New York County, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each Pledgor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in

- 15 -


 

respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. Each Pledgor hereby waives to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the process agent identified below (the “Process Agent”) as its agent to receive on behalf of such party, and its respective property, service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Pledgor in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s address, and each Pledgor hereby authorizes and directs the Process Agent to receive such service on its behalf. Each Pledgor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions (or any political subdivision thereof) by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided at law. Each Pledgor further agrees that it shall, for so long as any Secured Obligation remains outstanding and until all Commitments have expired or been termination and all Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement have expired, continue to retain Process Agent for the purposes set forth in this Section 21. The Process Agent is the Company, with an office on the date hereof as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Process Agent hereby accepts the appointment of Process Agent by the Subsidiaries and agrees to act as Process Agent on behalf of the Subsidiaries.
     22. Waiver of Jury Trial.
     EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH PLEDGOR AND EACH OF THE SUBSIDIARIES HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY A JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO.
     23. Entire Agreement; Amendments.
     This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to a grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral by any Pledgor. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented except by a writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the Pledgors.
     24. Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.
     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that a telecopy or other electronic transmission (including email) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of any Pledgor shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Pledgor.
     25. Construction.
     The rules of construction contained in Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement apply to this Agreement.

     2. As security for the due and punctual payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in full, each Debtor hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any provider of any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product shall have, and each Debtor hereby grants to and creates in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lenders and any provider of any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product, a continuing first priority lien on and security interest under the Code in and to the Collateral subject only to Permitted Liens unless such are not permitted to attach to the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of Section 4 below, each Debtor further agrees that with respect to each item of the Collateral as to which (i) the creation of a valid and enforceable security interest is not governed exclusively by the Code, or (ii) the perfection of a valid and enforceable first priority security interest therein under the Code cannot be accomplished either by the Administrative Agent taking possession thereof or by the filing in appropriate locations of appropriate Code financing statements executed by such Debtor, such Debtor will at its expense execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and hereby does authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and file such documents, agreements, notices, assignments and instruments and take such further actions as may be requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time for the purpose of creating a valid and perfected first priority Lien on such item, subject only to Permitted Liens unless such are not permitted to attach to the Collateral, enforceable against such Debtor and all third parties to secure the Secured Obligations; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Debtors shall not be required to (the “Conditionally Waived Requirements”) (a) perfect the Lender’s security interest in (i) titled vehicles, (ii) petty-cash bank accounts not maintained with PNC Bank, National Association holding the Dollar Equivalent of not more than $125,000.00 in the aggregate or otherwise deemed immaterial by the Administrative Agent, except by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement, (iii) financial assets held in investment accounts, except by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement, (iv) commercial tort claims which could not result in a payment of $1,000,000.00 or more to a Debtor, except by filing of a UCC-1 financing statement describing such commercial tort claims generally, and (v) foreign intellectual property, except to the extent filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office perfects such security interest, and (b) comply with requirements of the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 and regulations

18


 

promulgated thereunder (“Assignment of Claims Act”), with respect to the assignment of any government contract involving payments to Debtors of not more than $1,000,000.00.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no security interest, a conditional security interest or limited security interest (as applicable, pursuant to this provision) is hereby granted in the following Collateral (collectively, the “Excluded Property”), to the extent expressly specified below: (i) any permit, license, contract or lease to the extent that (and in each case only for so long as) such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any applicable Laws or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or gives rise to a right on the part of the parties thereto other than a Debtor to terminate, such permit or license, contract or lease, except to the extent that such Laws or a term in such permit, license, contract or lease providing for such prohibition, breach, default or right of termination is ineffective or rendered unenforceable under applicable Laws (including the Code), provided, however, that the representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in Section 6.1.4 [No Conflict; Material Contracts; Consents] of the Credit Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects, and the foregoing shall not be construed to limit such representations and warranties, (ii) any property owned by a Debtor on the date hereof or hereafter acquired that is subject to a Lien securing a purchase money or capital or finance lease obligation permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement if (and in each case only for so long as) the contract or other agreement in which such Lien is granted (or the documentation providing for such purchase money, project financing or capital or finance lease obligation) prohibits the creation of any other Lien on such property, except to the extent that the term in such contract or other agreement providing for such prohibition is ineffective or rendered unenforceable under applicable Laws (including the Code), (iii) the voting stock (within the meaning of Treasury Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) of a Foreign Subsidiary that is not required to be pledged by a Loan Party as Collateral for the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 6.1.11 [Liens in the Collateral] of the Credit Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, and (iv) any “intent to use” trademark applications for which a statement of use has not been filed (but only until such statement is filed); provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lien or security interest shall be, and is hereby, without any further action by Administrative Agent or consent or agreement of any Debtor, granted in (A) any property immediately upon the cessation of the conditions causing such property to be Excluded Property and (B) any and all proceeds, products, substitutions and replacements of Excluded Property to the extent such proceeds, products, substitutions and replacements do not themselves constitute Excluded Property hereunder.
     3. Each Debtor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (a) the Debtors have good title to the Collateral, (b) except for the security interest granted to and created in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders hereunder and Permitted Liens unless such are not permitted to attach to the Collateral, all the Collateral is free and clear of any Lien, (c) the Debtors will defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein, (d) except as otherwise disclosed in writing by a Debtor, each Account is genuine and enforceable in accordance with its terms and the Debtors will defend the same against all claims, demands, recoupment, setoffs, and counterclaims at any time asserted, (e) at the time any Account becomes subject to this Agreement, except as otherwise disclosed in writing by a Debtor, each such Account will be a good and valid Account representing a bona fide sale of goods or services

19


 

by the Debtors and such goods will have been shipped to the respective account debtors or the services will have been performed for the respective account debtors (or for those on behalf of whom the account debtors are obligated on the Accounts), and except as otherwise disclosed in writing by a Debtor, no such Account will at such time be subject to any claim for credit, allowance, setoff, recoupment, defense, counterclaim or adjustment by any account debtor or otherwise, (f) the exact legal name of each Debtor is as set forth on the signature page hereto, and (g) the state of incorporation, formation or organization as applicable, of each Debtor is as set forth on Schedule A hereto.
     4. Each Debtor will faithfully preserve and protect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral as a prior perfected (to the extent perfection is required under the terms of this Agreement) security interest under the Code, superior and prior to the rights of all third Persons, except for holders of Permitted Liens unless such are not permitted to attach to the Collateral; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors shall not be required to complete the Conditionally Waived Requirements unless such conditional waiver is revoked, and will do all such other acts and things and will, upon request therefor by the Administrative Agent, execute, deliver, file and record, and each Debtor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to so file, all such other documents and instruments, including, without limitation, financing statements, security agreements, assignments and documents and powers of attorney with respect to the Collateral, and pay all filing fees and taxes related thereto, as the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion may deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to attach, continue, preserve, perfect, and protect said security interest (including the filing at any time or times after the date hereof of financing statements under, and in the locations advisable pursuant to, the Code); and, each Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent, its officers, employees and agents, or any of them, as attorneys-in-fact for each Debtor to execute, deliver, file and record such items for such Debtor and in the Debtor’s name, place and stead to preserve, continue, perfect and protect said security interest. This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for the life of this Agreement.
     5. Each Debtor covenants and agrees that:
     (a) it will defend the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ right, title and lien on and security interest in and to the Collateral and the Proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever, other than any Person claiming a right in the Collateral pursuant to an agreement between such Person and the Administrative Agent;
     (b) it will not suffer or permit to exist on any Collateral any Lien except for Permitted Liens unless such are not permitted to attach to the Collateral;
     (c) it will not take or omit to take any action, the taking or the omission of which might result in a material alteration (except as permitted by the Credit Agreement) or impairment of the Collateral or of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement;
     (d) it will not sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Collateral if the taking of such action would be prohibited under the Credit Agreement;

20


 

     (e) except that the Debtors are not required to complete the Conditionally Waived Requirements unless such conditional waiver is revoked, it will (i) maintain its chief executive office and keep the Collateral and all records pertaining thereto at the locations specified on the Security Interest Data Summary attached as Schedule A hereto, unless it shall have given the Administrative Agent prior notice and taken any action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain its security interest therein, (ii) notify the Administrative Agent if an Account involving payment to a Debtor in excess of $100,000.00 becomes evidenced or secured by an Instrument or Chattel Paper and deliver to the Administrative Agent upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor all Collateral consisting of Instruments and Chattel Paper immediately upon the Debtor’s receipt of a request therefor, (iii) deliver to the Administrative Agent possession of all Collateral the possession of which is required to perfect the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or security interest therein or the possession of which grants priority over a Person filing a financing statement with respect thereto, (iv) execute control agreements and cause other Persons to execute acknowledgments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing the Administrative Agent’s control with respect to all Collateral the control or acknowledgment of which perfects the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, including Letters of Credit, Letter of Credit Rights, Electronic Chattel Paper, Deposit Accounts and Investment Property, and (v) keep materially accurate and complete books and records concerning the Collateral and such other books and records as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably require;
     (f) it will promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent such information and documents relating to the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, including, without limitation, all invoices, Documents, contracts, Chattel Paper, Instruments and other writings pertaining to such Debtor’s contracts or the performance thereof, all of the foregoing to be certified upon request of the Administrative Agent by an authorized officer of such Debtor;
     (g) it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent if any Account involving payment to a Debtor in excess of $1,000,000.00 arises out of contracts with the United States or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof or any one or more of the states of the United States or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, and will execute any instruments and take any steps required by the Administrative Agent so that all monies due and to become due under such contract shall be assigned to the Administrative Agent and notice of the assignment given to and acknowledged by the appropriate government agency or authority under the Assignment of Claims Act;
     (h) it will not change its state of incorporation, formation or organization, as applicable without providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent;
     (i) it will not change its name without providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent;
     (j) except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, it shall preserve its current existence as a corporation, partnership or a limited liability, as applicable, and shall not (i) in one, or a series of related transactions, merge into or consolidate with any other entity, the

21


 

survivor of which is not the Debtor, or (ii) sell all or substantially all or its assets if such action would be prohibited under the Credit Agreement;
     (k) if such Debtor shall at any time acquire a commercial tort claim, as defined in the Code, which could result in a payment to a Debtor of $1,000,000.00 or more, the Debtor shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent in a writing signed by such Debtor of the details thereof and grant to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lenders and any provider of any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product, in such writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such writing shall constitute a supplement to Schedule B hereto;
     (l) it hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, at any time and from time to time, file in any one or more jurisdictions financing statements that describe the Collateral, together with continuation statements thereof and amendments thereto, without the signature of such Debtor and which contain any information required by the Code or any other applicable statute applicable to such jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statements, continuation statements, or amendments. Each Debtor agrees to furnish any such information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request. Any such financing statements, continuation statements, or amendments may be signed by Administrative Agent on behalf of such Debtor if the Administrative Agent so elects and may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction; and
     (m) it shall at any time and from time to time take such steps as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request as are necessary for the Administrative Agent to insure the continued perfection of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral with the same priority required hereby and the preservation of its rights therein; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors shall not be required to complete the Conditionally Waived Requirements unless such conditional waiver is revoked.
     6. Each Debtor assumes full responsibility for taking any and all necessary steps to preserve the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights with respect to the Collateral against all Persons other than anyone asserting rights in respect of a Permitted Lien unless such is not permitted to attach to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Administrative Agent takes such action for that purpose as the Debtor shall request in writing; provided that such requested action will not, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, impair the security interest in the Collateral created hereby or the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights in, or the value of, the Collateral; provided, further, that such written request is received by the Administrative Agent in sufficient time to permit the Administrative Agent to take the requested action.
     7. The pledge, security interests and other Liens and the obligations of each Debtor hereunder shall not be discharged until Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations. The pledge, security interests, and other Liens and the obligations of each Debtor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise diminished by any failure, default, omission, or delay, willful or otherwise, by Administrative Agent, or any other obligor on any of the Secured

22


 

Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Debtor or which would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Debtor as a matter of law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor hereby consents to, and the pledge, security interests, and other Liens given by such Debtor hereunder shall not be diminished, terminated, or otherwise similarly affected by any of the following at any time and from time to time:
     (a) Any lack of genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability, or allowability (in a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or otherwise), or any avoidance or subordination, in whole or in part, of any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations and regardless of any law, regulation, or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the Secured Obligations, any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Person with respect thereto;
     (b) Any increase, decrease, or change in the amount, nature, type or purpose of any of the Secured Obligations (whether or not contemplated by the Loan Documents as presently constituted); any change in the time, manner, method, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, any of the Secured Obligations; any execution or delivery of any additional Loan Documents; or any amendment, modification or supplement to, or refinancing or refunding of, any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations;
     (c) Any failure to assert any breach of or default under any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; any extensions of credit in excess of the amount committed under or contemplated by the Loan Documents, or in circumstances in which any condition to such extensions of credit has not been satisfied; any other exercise or non-exercise, or any other failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action in connection with any exercise or non-exercise, of any right or remedy against any Debtor or any other Person under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; any refusal of payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, whether or not with any reservation of rights against any Debtor; or any application of collections (including collections resulting from realization upon any direct or indirect security for the Secured Obligations) to other Obligations, if any, not entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, in preference to Secured Obligations or, if any collections are applied to Secured Obligations, any application to particular Secured Obligations;
     (d) Any taking, exchange, amendment, modification, supplement, termination, subordination, release, loss, or impairment of, or any failure to protect, perfect, or preserve the value of, or any enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or any failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action by the Administrative Agent or any other Person in connection with the enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or, any other action or inaction by Administrative Agent or any other Person in respect of, any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations (including the Collateral). As used in this Agreement, “direct or indirect security” for the Secured Obligations, and similar phrases, includes any collateral security, guaranty, suretyship, letter of credit, capital maintenance agreement, put option, subordination agreement, or other right or arrangement of any nature providing direct or indirect

23


 

assurance of payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, made by or on behalf of any Person;
     (e) Any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, charter revocation, or forfeiture, or other change in, restructuring or termination of the existing structure or existence of, any Debtor or any other Person; any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to any Debtor or any other Person; or any action taken or election (including any election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable law of any jurisdiction) made by Administrative Agent or any Debtor or by any other Person in connection with any such proceeding;
     (f) Any defense, setoff, or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Debtor or any other Person with respect to any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; or any discharge by operation of law or release of any Debtor or any other Person from the performance or observance of any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; or
     (g) Any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and whether known or unknown, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or limit the liability of a guarantor or a surety, including each Debtor, excepting only full, strict, and indefeasible payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in full.
     8. Each Debtor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all defenses which such Debtor may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like and each Debtor hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding section hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor hereby further waives each of the following:
     (a) All notices, disclosures and demands of any nature which otherwise might be required from time to time to preserve intact any rights against such Debtor, including the following: any notice of any event or circumstance described in the immediately preceding section hereof; any notice required by any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction; any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance, dishonor, or protest under any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; any notice of the incurrence of any Secured Obligations; any notice of any default or any failure on the part of the Debtors or any other Person to comply with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any requirement pertaining to any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; and any notice or other information pertaining to the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or prospects of the Debtors or any other Person;
     (b) Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against such Debtor or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding, or to the exercise against such Debtor or any other Person of any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any requirement of promptness

24


 

or diligence on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Person; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default under, any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any requirement that such Debtor receive notice of any such acceptance; and
     (c) Any defense or other right arising by reason of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including anti-deficiency laws, “one action” laws or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the Administrative Agent (including commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of the Collateral for any of the Secured Obligations), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent to seek a deficiency against such Debtor or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Secured Obligations.
     9. (a) At any time and from time to time whether or not an Event of Default then exists and without prior notice to or consent of any Debtor, the Administrative Agent may at its option take such actions as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate (i) to attach, perfect, continue, preserve and protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ first priority security interest in or Lien on the Collateral subject to Permitted Liens unless such are not permitted to attach to the Collateral, (ii) to the extent set forth in the Credit Agreement, to inspect, audit and verify the Collateral, including reviewing all of each Debtor’s books and records and copying and making excerpts therefrom; provided that prior to an Event of Default or a Potential Default, the same is done with advance notice during normal business hours to the extent access to such Debtor’s premises is required, and (iii) to add all liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) to the Secured Obligations, to be paid by the Debtors to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders within ten (10) days after demand;
     (b) At any time and from time to time after an Event of Default exists and is continuing and without prior notice to or consent of any Debtor, the Administrative Agent may at its option take such action as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate (i) to maintain, repair, protect and insure the Collateral, (ii) to perform, keep, observe and render true and correct any and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Debtors hereunder, and (iii) to add all liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) to the Secured Obligations, to be paid by the Debtors to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders within ten (10) days after demand.
     10. After there exists any Event of Default, and so long as it continues, under the Credit Agreement:
     (a) The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise all the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Code in effect at the time, and such other rights and remedies as may be provided at Law and as set forth below, including, without limitation, to take over and collect all of any Debtor’s Receivables and all other Collateral, and to this end each

Debtors hereby appoints the Administrative Agent, its officers, employees and agents, as its irrevocable, true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with all necessary power and authority to (i) take possession immediately, with or without notice, demand, or legal process, of any of or all of the Collateral wherever found, and for such purposes, enter upon any premises upon which the Collateral may be found and remove the Collateral therefrom, (ii) require any Debtor to assemble the Collateral and deliver it to the Administrative Agent or to any place designated by the Administrative Agent at the Debtors’ expense, (iii) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Debtor and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as the Administrative Agent may designate, (iv) demand payment of the Receivables, (v) enforce payment of the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise, (vi) exercise all of any Debtor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables, (vii) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables, (viii) settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect the Receivables, (ix) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, sell or assign the Receivables upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as the Administrative Agent deems advisable, (x) discharge and release the Receivables, (xi) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or Proceeds from any account debtor, (xii) prepare, file and sign any Debtor’s name on any proof of claim in Relief Proceeding or similar document against any account debtor, (xiii) prepare, file and sign any Debtor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables, (xiv) do all acts and things necessary, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to fulfill each Debtor’s obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, Loan Documents or otherwise, (xv) endorse the name of any Debtor upon any check, Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document or agreement relating to the Receivables or Inventory, (xvi) use any Debtor’s stationery and sign such Debtor’s name to verifications of the Receivables and notices thereof to account debtors, (xvii) access and use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment or computer hardware or software relating to the Receivables, Inventory, or other Collateral or proceeds thereof to which any Debtor has access, (xviii) demand, sue for, collect, compromise and give acquittances for any and all Collateral, (xix) prosecute, defend or compromise any action, claim or proceeding with respect to any of the Collateral, and (xx) take such other action as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate, including extending or modifying the terms of payment of any Debtor’s debtors. This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for the life of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by Law, each Debtor hereby waives all claims of damages due to or arising from or connected with any of the rights or remedies exercised by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, except claims for physical damage to the Collateral arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent.
     (b) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to lease, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any of the Collateral at public or private sale or sales for cash, credit or any combination thereof, with such notice as may be required by Law (it being agreed by the Debtors that, in the absence of any contrary requirement of Law, ten (10) days’ prior notice of a public or private sale of Collateral shall be deemed reasonable notice), in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, all as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Such sales may be adjourned from time to time with or without notice. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Debtor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Debtor’s premises without charge for such sales for such time or times as the Administrative

26


 

Agent may see fit. The Administrative Agent may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by Law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Secured Obligations.
     (c) Each Debtor, at its cost and expense (including the cost and expense of any of the following referenced consents, approvals, etc.), will promptly execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other documents and papers the Administrative Agent may request in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license, accreditation, or authorization of any other Official Body or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor agrees that in the event the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Lenders shall exercise its rights hereunder or pursuant to the other Loan Documents, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, or vote, consent, operate, or take any other action in connection with any of the Collateral, each Debtor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) all applications, certificates, assignments and other documents that the Administrative Agent requests to facilitate such actions and shall otherwise promptly, fully, and diligently cooperate with the Administrative Agent and any other Persons in making any application for the prior consent or approval of any Official Body or any other Person to the exercise by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Lenders or any such rights relating to all or any of the Collateral. Furthermore, because each Debtor agrees that the remedies at law, of the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Lenders, for failure of such Debtor to comply with this subsection (c) would be inadequate, and that any such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, each Debtor agrees that this Subsection (c) may be specifically enforced.
     (d) The Administrative Agent may request, without limiting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders otherwise provided hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, that each Debtor do any of the following: (i) give the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders specific assignments of the accounts receivable of the Debtors after such accounts receivable come into existence, and schedules of such accounts receivable, the form and content of such assignment and schedules to be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and (ii) in order to better secure the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders, to the extent permitted by Law, enter into such lockbox agreements and establish such lockbox accounts as the Administrative Agent may require, all at the sole expense of the Debtors and shall direct all payments from all payors due to each Debtor, to such lockbox accounts.
     11. The Lien on and security interest in the Collateral granted to and created in favor of the Administrative Agent by this Agreement shall be for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any provider of any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product. Each of the rights, privileges, and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise by Law with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent only for its own benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and for the benefit of any provider of any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product, and any of the Collateral or Proceeds thereof held or realized upon at any time by the Administrative Agent shall be applied

27


 

as set forth in Section 9.2.4 [Application of Proceeds] of the Credit Agreement. Each Debtor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any provider of any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product for and shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders and any provider of any Lender Provided Interest Rate/Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product any deficiency which may remain after such sale or collection.
     12. If the Administrative Agent repossesses or seeks to repossess any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof because of the occurrence and continance of an Event of Default, then to the extent it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent to store any Collateral on any premises of any Debtor, such Debtor hereby agrees to lease to the Administrative Agent on a month-to-month tenancy for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days at the Administrative Agent’s election, at a rental rate equal to One Dollar ($1.00) per month (if such Debtor owns the premises), and at the current rental rate per month (if such Debtor leases the premises), the premises on which the Collateral is located; provided it is located on premises owned or leased by such Debtor.
     13. Upon Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of all Commitments and Letters of Credit, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, and the Administrative Agent shall thereupon promptly return to such Debtor such of the Collateral and such other documents delivered by the Debtor or obtained by the Administrative Agent hereunder as may then be in the Administrative Agent’s possession, subject to the rights of third parties. Until such time, however, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
     14. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent hereunder; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of a single Event of Default shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. All waivers under this Agreement must be in writing. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any rights or remedies which it may otherwise have, and the Administrative Agent may enforce any one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently at its option.
     15. All notices, statements, requests and demands given to or made upon either party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be given or made as provided in Section 11.5 [Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication] of the Credit Agreement.
     16. Each Debtor agrees that as of the date hereof, all information contained on the Security Interest Data Summary attached hereto as Schedule A is, in all material respects, accurate and complete and contains no material omission or misrepresentation. Each Debtor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any changes in the information set forth thereon; provided, however that it shall only be obligated to update such Schedule as to intellectual property matters that are not material on a quarterly basis.

28


 

     17. Each Debtor acknowledges that the provisions under the Credit Agreement giving the Administrative Agent rights of access to books, records and information concerning the Collateral and such Debtor’s operations and providing the Administrative Agent access to such Debtor’s premises are intended to afford the Administrative Agent with access to current information concerning the Debtor and its activities, including without limitation, the value, nature and location of the Collateral so that the Administrative Agent can, among other things, make an appropriate determination after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether and when to exercise its other remedies hereunder and at Law, including, without limitation, instituting a replevin action should the Debtor refuse to turn over any Collateral to the Administrative Agent. Each Debtor further acknowledges that should such Debtor at any time fail to promptly provide such information and access to the Administrative Agent, such Debtor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent would have no adequate remedy at Law to promptly obtain the same. Each Debtor agrees that the provisions hereof may be specifically enforced by the Administrative Agent and waives any claim or defense in any such action or proceeding that the Administrative Agent has an adequate remedy at Law.
     18. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and the Debtor and each of its respective successors and assigns, except that no Debtor may assign or transfer its obligations hereunder or any interest herein.
     19. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of said State excluding its rules relating to conflicts of law.
     20. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
     21. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in New York County, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each Debtor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. Each Debtor hereby waives to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Each Debtor hereby appoints the process agent identified below (the “Process Agent”) as its agent to receive on behalf of such party, and its respective property, service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Debtor in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s address, and each Debtor hereby authorizes and directs the Process Agent to receive such service on its behalf. Each Debtor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions (or any political subdivision thereof) by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided at law. Each Debtor further agrees that it shall, for so long as any commitment or any obligation of any Loan Party to any Lender remains outstanding, continue to retain Process Agent for the purposes set forth in this Section 21. The Process Agent is the Company, with an office on the date hereof

29


 

as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Process Agent hereby accepts the appointment of Process Agent by the Debtors and agrees to act as Process Agent on behalf of the Debtors.
     22. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY A JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO.
     23. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that a telecopy or other electronic transmission (including email) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of such Debtor shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Debtor.
     24. Additional Debtors. It is anticipated that additional Persons will from time to time become Subsidiaries of the Borrowers or Guarantors and may, under the terms of the Credit Agreement, be thereupon required to join this Agreement as Debtors. It is acknowledged and agreed that each such Person will become a Debtor hereunder and will be bound hereby simply by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent a Guarantor Joinder in the form of Exhibit 1.1(G)(1) to the Credit Agreement or a Borrower Joinder in the form of Exhibit 1.1(B), as applicable. In addition, at the time of such joinder, a new Schedule A hereto shall be provided to Administrative Agent including such new Debtor’s relevant information.

LENDER JOINDER AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
     THIS LENDER JOINDER AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (the “Joinder”) is made as of ____________, 20__ (the “Effective Date”) by ____________________________, (the “New Lender”).
Background
     Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of October 28, 2010 among INVACARE CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation, the other Borrowers and the Guarantors now or hereafter party thereto, Lenders now or hereafter party thereto and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) (as the same has been and may hereafter be modified, supplemented, amended or restated, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein.
Agreement
     In consideration of the Lenders permitting the New Lender to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, the New Lender agrees that effective as of the Effective Date it shall become, and shall be deemed to be, a Lender under the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and agrees that from the Effective Date and so long as the New Lender remains a party to the Credit Agreement, such New Lender shall assume the obligations of a Lender under and perform, comply with and be bound by each of the provisions of the Credit Agreement which are stated to apply to a Lender and shall be entitled (in accordance with its Ratable Share) to the benefits, rights and remedies set forth therein and in each of the other Loan Documents. The New Lender hereby acknowledges that it has heretofore received (i) a true and correct copy of the Credit Agreement (including any modifications thereof or supplements or waivers thereto) as in effect on the Effective Date, and (ii) the executed original of its Revolving Credit Note dated the Effective Date issued by the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement in the face amount of $_____________.
     The Commitments and Ratable Shares of the New Lender and each of the other Lenders are as set forth on Schedule 1.1(B) to the Credit Agreement. Schedule 1.1(B) to the Credit Agreement is being amended and restated effective as of the Effective Date hereof to read as set forth on Schedule 1.1(B) hereto. Schedule 1 hereto lists as of the date hereof the amount of Loans under each outstanding Borrowing Tranche. Notwithstanding the foregoing on the date hereof, the Borrowers shall repay all outstanding Loans to which either the Base Rate Option or the Euro Rate Option applies and simultaneously reborrow a like amount of Loans under each such Interest Rate Option from the Lenders (including the New Lender) according to the Ratable Shares set forth on attached Schedule 1.1(B) and shall be subject to breakage fees and other indemnities provided in Section 5.10 [Indemnity].
     The New Lender is executing and delivering this Joinder as of the Effective Date and acknowledges that it shall: (A) participate in all new Revolving Credit Loans borrowed by the

 


 

Borrowers on and after the Effective Date according to its Ratable Share; and (B) participate in all Letters of Credit outstanding on and after the Effective Date according to its Ratable Share. [[To be included to be included in case Commitment/Loans to a Netherlands Borrower is/are provided and in case New Lender is located in or organized under the laws of the Netherlands] the New Lender further confirms on the date hereof that its amount of Commitments/Loans is at least the Dollar Equivalent of EUR 50,000 or that it otherwise qualifies as a professional market party (professionele marktpartij) within the meaning of the Dutch Act on Financial Supervision (Wet op het financieel toezicht) and any regulation promulgated thereunder as amended or replaced from time to time.]
