Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.

Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Facilities or operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 94 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law where any such notice or request for information, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to any Obligor’s knowledge, any predecessor of DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility where any such treatment, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.13. No Defaults. Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.14. Governmental Regulation. Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.16. Employee Matters. Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the best knowledge of DUHI and LOTT, threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement that is so pending against DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries or to the best knowledge of DUHI and LOTT, threatened against any of them, (b) no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened involving DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries, and (c) to the best knowledge of DUHI and LOTT, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees of DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of DUHI and LOTT, no union organization activity that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.17. Employee Benefit Plans. DUHI, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in material compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No material liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by DUHI, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of DUHI, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by DUHI, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of DUHI, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. DUHI, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.
4.18. Certain Fees. No broker’s or finder’s fee or commission will be payable with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Related Agreements, except as payable to Goldman Sachs.

4.22. Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any Obligor contained in any Credit Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Goldman Sachs by or on behalf of DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to DUHI or LOTT, in the case of any document not furnished by either of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by DUHI or LOTT to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Goldman Sachs that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to DUHI or LOTT (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Goldman Sachs for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.23. PATRIOT Act. To the extent applicable, each Obligor is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 7. GUARANTY
7.1. Guaranty of the Obligations. Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Goldman Sachs the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
7.2. Payment by Guarantors. Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which Goldman Sachs may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of LOTT to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Goldman Sachs an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for LOTT’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against LOTT for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Goldman Sachs as aforesaid.
7.3. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:
(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;
(b) Goldman Sachs may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between LOTT and Goldman Sachs with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;
(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of LOTT and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of LOTT, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against LOTT or any of such other guarantors and whether or not LOTT is joined in any such action or actions;
(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Goldman Sachs is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release any Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

35


 

(e) Goldman Sachs, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of Goldman Sachs in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Goldman Sachs may have against any such security, in each case as Goldman Sachs in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any other Obligor or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents; and
(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though Goldman Sachs might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) Goldman Sachs’ consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which LOTT may allege or assert against Goldman Sachs in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) 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 any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

36


 

7.4. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Goldman Sachs: (a) any right to require Goldman Sachs, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against LOTT, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from LOTT, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of Goldman Sachs in favor of any Obligor or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of Goldman Sachs whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of LOTT or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of LOTT or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon Goldman Sachs’ errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that Goldman Sachs protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to LOTT and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.3 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

 

37


 

7.5. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against LOTT or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against LOTT with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that Goldman Sachs now has or may hereafter have against LOTT, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by Goldman Sachs. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against LOTT or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Goldman Sachs may have against LOTT, to all right, title and interest Goldman Sachs may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right Goldman Sachs may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Goldman Sachs and shall forthwith be paid over to Goldman Sachs for the benefit of Goldman Sachs to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.
7.6. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of LOTT or any other Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Goldman Sachs and shall forthwith be paid over to Goldman Sachs to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.
7.7. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.
7.8. Authority of Guarantors or LOTT. It is not necessary for Goldman Sachs to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or LOTT or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

 

38


 

7.9. Financial Condition of LOTT. Goldman Sachs shall not have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of LOTT. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from LOTT on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of LOTT and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of LOTT and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Goldman Sachs to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of LOTT now known or hereafter known by Goldman Sachs.
7.10. Bankruptcy, Etc.. (a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against LOTT or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of LOTT or any other Guarantor or by any defense which LOTT or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.
(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Goldman Sachs that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve LOTT of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Goldman Sachs, or allow the claim of Goldman Sachs in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.
(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by LOTT, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Goldman Sachs as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

9.3. Indemnity.
(a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 9.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Obligor agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, Goldman Sachs and each of its officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Obligor shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Obligor shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Obligor shall assert, and each Obligor hereby waives, any claim against Goldman Sachs and its Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and DUHI and LOTT hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

 

43


 

(c) Each Obligor also agrees that none of Goldman Sachs nor its Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents will have any liability to any Obligor or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any Obligor or any other person in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, in each case, except in the case of any Obligor to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by such Obligor or its affiliates, shareholders, partners or other equity holders have been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Goldman Sachs or its Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents in performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein; provided, however, that in no event will Goldman Sachs or its Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of Goldman Sachs’ or its Affiliates’, directors’, employees’, attorneys’, agents’ or sub-agents’ activities related to this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein.
9.4. Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each GS Related Party is hereby authorized by each Obligor at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Obligor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any GS Related Party to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Obligor to any GS Related Party Sachs hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such GS Related Party shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) any amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of the GS Related Parties under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the GS Related Parties may have.
9.5. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provisions of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom, shall in any event be effective with the written concurrence of Goldman Sachs and each Obligor.

 

44


 

9.6. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Goldman Sachs. No Obligor’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Obligor without the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of Goldman Sachs) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
9.7. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
9.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the issuance of the Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Obligor set forth in Sections 2.5, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and the agreements of Goldman Sachs set forth in Sections 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Obligations, and the termination hereof.
9.9. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Goldman Sachs in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to Goldman Sachs hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.
9.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Goldman Sachs shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Obligor makes a payment or payments to Goldman Sachs, or Goldman Sachs enforces any security interests or exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

45


 

9.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
9.12. Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
9.13. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
9.14. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. SUBJECT TO CLAUSE (E) OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR, IF THAT COURT DOES NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, IN ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS (OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS BY GOLDMAN SACHS IN RESPECT OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER ANY SECURITY AGREEMENT GOVERNED BY A LAWS OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY COLLATERAL SUBJECT THERETO); (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT.

 

46


 

9.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
9.16. Confidentiality. Goldman Sachs shall hold all non-public information regarding DUHI and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by DUHI and obtained by Goldman Sachs pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with Goldman Sachs’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by DUHI that, in any event, Goldman Sachs may make (i) disclosures of such information to its Affiliates and to their respective agents and advisors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents or the Related Agreements (and to other Persons authorized by Goldman Sachs to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 9.16), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to DUHI and its obligations (provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 9.16 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 9.16), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to Obligors received by it from Goldman Sachs, (iv) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (v) disclosures with the consent of any Obligor, and (vi) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, Goldman Sachs shall make reasonable efforts to notify LOTT of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of Goldman Sachs by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information.

9.17. Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Obligations hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, LOTT shall pay to Goldman Sachs an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Goldman Sachs and LOTT to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if Goldman Sachs contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at Goldman Sachs’ option be applied to the outstanding Obligations or be refunded to LOTT.
9.18. Effectiveness; Counterparts. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by LOTT and Goldman Sachs of written notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif” shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
9.19. Entire Agreement. With the exception of those terms contained in the Letter Agreement, dated April 29, 2011, among Goldman Sachs and DUHI (the “Fee Letter”), which by the terms of the Fee Letter remain in full force and effect (such terms the “Surviving Terms”) all of Goldman Sachs’ and its Affiliates obligations under the Fee Letter shall terminate and be superseded by the Credit Documents and Goldman Sachs and its Affiliates shall be released from all liability in connection therewith, including any claim for injury or damages, whether consequential, special, direct, indirect, punitive or otherwise. LOTT hereby assumes all obligations of DUHI under the Fee Letter with respect to the Surviving Terms.

 

48


 

9.20. PATRIOT Act. Goldman Sachs hereby notifies each Obligor that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and address of each Obligor and other information that will allow Goldman Sachs to identify such Obligor in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
9.21. No Fiduciary Duty. Goldman Sachs and its Affiliates, may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Obligors, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Obligor agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between Goldman Sachs and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and such Obligor, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Obligors acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Goldman Sachs and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Obligors, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) none of Goldman Sachs nor any of its Affiliates has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Obligor, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether Goldman Sachs has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Obligor, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Obligor except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each of Goldman Sachs and its Affiliates is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Obligor, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Obligor agrees that it will not claim that Goldman Sachs and any of its Affiliates has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Obligor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Delek US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), in connection with the transactions that are the subject of the Reimbursement Agreement, as defined below. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings as in the Reimbursement Agreement.
This opinion letter is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 3.1(i) of the Reimbursement Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined the following documents (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):
(1) that certain Reimbursement and Guaranty Agreement dated April 29, 2011, by and among Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Goldman”), by Holdings, Lion Oil Company, an Arkansas corporation (“Lion”), Lion Oil Trading & Transportation, Inc., an Arkansas corporation (“LOTT”) (the “Reimbursement Agreement”); and
(2) that certain Pledge and Security Agreement of even date with the Reimbursement Agreement, executed Holdings, Lion and LOTT in favor of Goldman (the “Security Agreement”).
We have also reviewed the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Holdings (collectively, the “Organizational Documents”), such corporate records of Holdings, such certificates of public officials and such other matters regarding Holdings as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion letter. As to factual matters, we have assumed the correctness of and relied upon statements and other representations of Holdings and the officers thereof set forth in the Transaction Documents and in certificates provided pursuant to or in connection with the Transaction Documents or otherwise provided to us, and upon certificates of public officials, and we have made no independent inquiries or investigations. For purposes of the opinions on the existence and good standing of Holdings, we have relied solely upon a certificate of existence of recent date, issued by the Delaware Secretary of State.

In making such examination and in expressing our opinions, we have further assumed, without investigation or inquiry:
(a) the due organization and existence of all parties to the Transaction Documents, except to the extent that we express an opinion in Paragraph 1 below regarding the existence of Holdings,
(b) the legal capacity of all natural persons,
(c) the due authorization of the Transaction Documents by all parties thereto, except to the extent that we express an opinion in Paragraph 1 below regarding the authorization of the Transaction Documents by Holdings,
(d) the due execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by all parties thereto, except to the extent that we express an opinion in Paragraph 2 below regarding the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by Holdings,
(e) that all parties to the Transaction Documents have the legal right, power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, except to the extent that we express an opinion in Paragraph 1 below regarding the corporate power and corporate authority of Holdings,
(f) that all signatures on any executed documents furnished to us, other than signatures by or on behalf of Holdings, are genuine, all original documents submitted to us are authentic originals and all certified or other reproductions of documents submitted to us conform to the original documents,
(g) that the indebtedness incurred and obligations undertaken pursuant to the Transaction Documents have been incurred and undertaken for adequate consideration,
(h) that all property descriptions used in the Transaction Documents accurately and sufficiently describe the subject property, and
(i) that to the extent that attachment of the security interests of the Transaction Documents is governed by the law of any jurisdiction other than Tennessee, such security interests have attached under such law.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications herein set forth, we are of the opinion that:
1. Holdings is a validly existing Delaware corporation, in good standing under the laws of Delaware. Holdings has all necessary corporate power and corporate authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and to enter into and perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the performance and observance of the provisions thereof by Holdings have been properly authorized by all necessary corporate actions on the part of Holdings.
2. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Holdings.
3. The execution, delivery and, where applicable, recording, of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the financing transaction that is the subject thereof, do not (a) violate any law or regulation of the State of Tennessee, United States of America or the Delaware General Corporation Law, (b) contravene the Organizational Documents of Holdings and (c) constitute a default under or breach of the terms of, or an event that, with the lapse of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under or breach of, or require the consent (which consent, as of the date hereof, has not been obtained) of any person under the terms of, the Aron Agreement or the Financing Agreement (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement).
4. No authorization, consent, approval or other action by or filing with any governmental authority of the State of Tennessee, the United States of America or the Delaware General Corporation Law is required under for the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by Holdings.
5. The Security Agreement is effective to create an enforceable security interest in the interest of Holdings in the personal property described therein to the extent that a security interest therein may be created under provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Tennessee (the “Tennessee UCC”).
6. Assuming that the Collateral Account (as defined in the Security Agreement) is a demand, time, savings, passbook, or similar account maintained with an organization that is engaged in the business of banking, and that Goldman is Citibank, N.A.’s customer with respect to the Collateral Account, Goldman shall have “control” within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Tennessee UCC over the Collateral Account.
7. Assuming that Holdings applies any proceeds received by it pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Reimbursement Agreement, the extensions of credit contemplated by the Reimbursement Agreement do not violate the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

8. Holdings is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of Tennessee, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States of America. Our opinions regarding existence, corporate power, corporate authority, the authorization, execution and delivery of documents and other matters of corporate law, are based solely upon our review of the latest unofficial compilations of the Delaware General Corporation Law that were available to us, and we have not examined any other Delaware statutes or any court decisions from Delaware.
We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the choice of law provisions contained in the Transaction Documents under the laws of New York or Tennessee, nor, assuming such provisions would be enforceable under the choice-of-law principles of New York and Tennessee, do we state any opinion as to the enforceability of the Transaction Documents under the internal laws of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you have requested us to examine the Transaction Documents and provide you with the opinions set forth above assuming, solely for purposes of such opinions, that the internal laws of Tennessee would govern them. If the Transaction Documents were to be governed by the internal laws of Tennessee, our opinions would be as set forth herein. We note that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines one or more of the Transaction Documents to be unenforceable under the laws of New York, then such Transaction Documents may not be enforced by Tennessee courts under applicable Tennessee conflict of law principles.
The opinions expressed herein are qualified as follows:
(a) The validity, binding nature and enforceability of any liability, obligation, instrument, document or agreement are subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other federal and state laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and (ii) general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies), whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity.
(b) We express no opinion with respect to any matters that would require us to perform a mathematical calculation or make a determination as to financial or accounting matters (including but not limited to compliance or noncompliance with financial covenants or ratios).
Our opinion is rendered as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to advise you of changes in law or fact (or the effect thereof on the opinions expressed herein) that hereafter may come to our attention.

7.2 Further Assurances.
(i) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, that it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.

(vii) generally to sell, transfer, lease, license, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
8.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties
(i) . The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 9. REMEDIES.
9.1 Generally.
(i) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:
(i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;
(iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and

 

14


 

(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable.
(ii) The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way limit the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
(iii) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(iv) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

9.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Agent against, the Secured Obligations in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder (in its capacity as the Collateral Agent and not in its individual capacity) and all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder for the account of the applicable Grantor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Reimbursement Agreement, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, subject to Section 9.4, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties other than the Collateral Agent; and third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of the applicable Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
9.3 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
9.4 Offtake Agreement. By reason of the fact that the Collateral consisting of rights under the Offtake Agreement secure Secured Obligations owing to the GS Related Parties but not Secured Obligations owing to Aron, the benefits of the Receivables arising under the Offtake Agreement shall (unless otherwise agreed by Goldman Sachs and Aron) be shared by them ratably in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder and under the Offtake Agreement by determining their respective ratable shares of such Receivables (calculated as if such Receivables did secure all of the Secured Obligations owing to them) and applying the share of the Proceeds of such Receivables allocable to the GS Related Parties under clause second of Section 9.2, it being acknowledged and agreed that Aron, as the Account Debtor with respect to such Receivables, may derive its corresponding benefit by exercising its right of set-off under the Offtake Agreement against an amount up to but not exceeding its ratable share (calculated as aforesaid) of such Receivables (calculated as aforesaid). If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply the balance from the Collateral Account or instruct the bank at which the Collateral Account is maintained to pay the balance of the Collateral Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.

 

16


 

9.5 Further Provisions. The Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits to foreclose the security interest created hereby and sell the Collateral or any portion thereof under a judgment of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of Louisiana executory process procedures, each Grantor acknowledges the Secured Obligations and does hereby confess judgment in favor of the Collateral Agent for the full amount of the Secured Obligations. Each Grantor agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the Collateral Agent may cause the Collateral to be seized and sold under executory or ordinary process, at the Collateral Agent’s sole option, without appraisement, appraisement being hereby expressly waived, as an entirety or in parcels as the Collateral Agent may determine, to the highest bidder for cash, and otherwise exercise the rights, powers and remedies afforded herein and under applicable Louisiana law. Any and all declarations of fact made by authentic act before a Notary Public in the presence of two witnesses by a person declaring that such facts lie within his knowledge shall constitute authentic evidence of such facts for the purpose of executory process. Each Grantor hereby waives in favor of the Collateral Agent: (a) the benefit of appraisement as provided in Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and 2724, and all other laws conferring the same; (b) the demand and three days delay accorded by Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Article 2721; (c) the notice of seizure required by Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2293 and 2721; (d) the three days delay provided by Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2331 and 2722; and (e) the benefit of the other provisions of Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723, not specifically mentioned above. In the event the Collateral or any part thereof is seized as an incident to an action for the recognition or enforcement of this Security Agreement by executory process, ordinary process, sequestration, writ of fieri facias, or otherwise, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent agree that the court issuing any such order shall, if petitioned for by the Collateral Agent, direct the applicable sheriff to appoint as a keeper of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent or any agent designated by the Collateral Agent or any person named by the Collateral Agent at the time such seizure is effected. This designation is pursuant to Louisiana Revised Statutes 9:5136-9:5140.2 and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all the rights and benefits afforded thereunder as the same may be amended. It is hereby agreed that the keeper shall be entitled to receive as compensation, in excess of its costs and expenses incurred in the administration or preservation of the Collateral, an amount equal to one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars per day, payable on a weekly basis. The designation of keeper made herein shall not be deemed to require the Collateral Agent to provoke the appointment of such a keeper.
SECTION 10. COLLATERAL AGENT.
The Collateral Agent has been appointed by the Secured Parties to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by their acceptance of the benefits hereof. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed by all parties hereto that the Collateral Agent may release Collateral from the Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.6 of the Reimbursement Agreement.
SECTION 11. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations owing to all Secured Parties other than Aron and the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral granted or arising hereunder shall revert to the Grantors; provided that if at such time a “Default” or “Event of Default” shall have occurred and be continuing under the Offtake Agreement, such termination hereof shall not occur until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations owing to Aron and the termination of the Offtake Agreement. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of Inventory to Aron or any other Person in accordance with the Offtake Agreement, the Liens granted herein on such Inventory (but not on the Proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to be automatically released with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release. Nothing herein shall diminish or otherwise affect the rights of Aron under the Offtake Agreement or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith (including the rights of Aron with respect to the security interest in certain collateral granted under Section 17.2 of the Offtake Agreement, which security interest shall continue notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement).

SECTION 12. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.
The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Reimbursement Agreement.
SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Reimbursement Agreement (and for this purpose, the address for the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be the same address as Goldman Sachs). No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Secured Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Secured Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of breach of such first covenant if such action is taken. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Reimbursement Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Secured Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Secured Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST).
THE PROVISIONS OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT UNDER THE HEADINGS “CONSENT TO JURISDICTION” AND “WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL” ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE AND SUCH INCORPORATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.
