From and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the Facility Termination Date, each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Loans to the Borrower in Dollars and participate in Facility LCs issued upon the request of the Borrower, provided that, after giving effect to the making of each such Loan and the issuance of each such Facility LC, the amount of such Lender’s Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed its Commitment. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date. The Commitments to extend credit hereunder shall expire on the Facility Termination Date. The LC Issuer will issue Facility LCs hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.19.
     2.2. Required Payments; Termination. If at any time the amount of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. The Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date.
     2.3. Ratable Loans; Types of Advances. Each Advance hereunder (other than any Swing Line Loan) shall consist of Revolving Loans made from the several Lenders ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares. The Advances may be Base Rate Advances or Eurodollar Advances, or a combination thereof,

          (b) Borrowing Notice. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender irrevocable notice (a “Swing Line Borrowing Notice”) not later than 12:00 noon (California time) on the Borrowing Date of each Swing Line Loan, specifying (i) the applicable Borrowing Date (which date shall be a Business Day), and (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Swing Line Loan which shall be an amount not less than $100,000.

Not later than 12:00 noon (California time) on the date of any notice received pursuant to this Section 2.4(d), each Lender shall make available its required Revolving Loan, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII.

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share a commitment fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Fee Rate on the average daily Available Aggregate Commitment from the date hereof to and including the Facility Termination Date (the “Commitment Fee”), payable in arrears on a quarterly basis on each Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility Termination Date. Swing Line Loans shall not count as usage of the Aggregate Commitment for the purpose of calculating the commitment fee due hereunder with respect to any Lender other than the Swing Line Lender, except to the extent another Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loans has been funded by such Lender.
     2.6. Minimum Amount of Each Advance.

All accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions hereunder. The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may at any time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender by 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the date of repayment. The Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Eurodollar Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Eurodollar Advances upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.
     2.9. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances; Maximum Number of Interest Periods. Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Base Rate Advances unless and until such Base Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.9 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.7. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or (y) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.6, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) into a Eurodollar Advance.

     2.10. Interest Rates. Each Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.9, to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day. Each

30


 

Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Daily Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Base Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance based upon the Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.8 and 2.9 and the Pricing Schedule. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date.
     2.11. Rates Applicable After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.8, 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance. If any amount (i) of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and (ii) other than principal of any Loan payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document that is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace period), such amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Advances to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
     2.12. Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 12:00 noon (California time) on the date when due and shall (except (i) with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans, (ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or (iii) as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with U.S. Bank for each payment of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees as such amounts become due hereunder.

          (c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.
          (d) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, promissory notes representing its Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, respectively, substantially in the form of Exhibit D, with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans (each a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note or Notes payable to the order of such Lender in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. The Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clause (b) above.
     2.14. Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation (which may include e-mail) of each telephonic notice authenticated by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. The parties agree to prepare appropriate documentation to correct any such error within 10 days after discovery by any party to this Agreement.
     2.15. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Base Rate Advance and each Swing Line Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such Payment Date to occur after the date hereof and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three (3) months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on all Advances and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except that Interest at the Prime Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon (California time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

issuance of a Facility LC hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
     2.17. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Advances and its participation in any LC Obligations and the LC Issuer may book the Facility LCs at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Facility LCs are to be made.
     2.18. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.
     2.19. Facility LCs.
          (a) Issuance. The LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue standby and commercial Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars (each, a “Facility LC”) and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC (“Modify,” and each such action a “Modification”), from time to time from and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the Facility Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower; provided that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i) the aggregate amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed $40,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment. No Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the earlier to occur of (x) the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date and (y) one year after its issuance; provided, however, that the expiry date of a Facility LC may be up to one year later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date if the Borrower has posted on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date cash collateral in the Facility LC Collateral Account on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to 105% of the LC Obligations with respect to such Facility LC. Schedule 2.19 sets forth a list of existing letters of credit outstanding as of the date hereof (the “Existing Facility LCs”) issued by U.S. Bank National Association for the account of the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof. On and after the date hereof, the Existing Facility LCs shall constitute Facility LCs deemed to have been issued under this Agreement.

33


 

          (b) Participations. Upon the issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.19, the LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.
          (c) Notice. Subject to Section 2.19(a), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice prior to 10:00 a.m. (California time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC, specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the LC Issuer and each Lender, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such proposed Facility LC. The issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to the LC Issuer and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as the LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC Application”). The LC Issuer shall have no independent duty to ascertain whether the conditions set forth in Article IV have been satisfied; provided, however, that the LC Issuer shall not issue a Facility LC if, on or before the proposed date of issuance, the LC Issuer shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that any such condition has not been satisfied or waived. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
          (d) Evergreen Letters of Credit. If the Borrower so requests in any Facility LC Application, the LC Issuer agrees to issue a Facility LC that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that (i) any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit the LC Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Facility LC) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than one (1) Business Day (the “Non-Renewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Facility LC is issued and (ii) no such Evergreen Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date later than the earlier to occur of (x) the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date and (y) one year after its issuance; provided, however, that the expiry date of an Evergreen Letter of Credit may be up to one year later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date if the Borrower has posted on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date cash collateral in the Facility LC Collateral Account on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to 105% of the LC Obligations with respect to such Evergreen Letter of Credit. Unless otherwise directed by the LC Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the LC Issuer for any such renewal.
          (e) LC Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, (i) with respect to each Facility LC which is a standby Letter of Credit, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans in effect from time to time on the average daily undrawn stated amount under such Facility LC, and (ii) with respect to each Facility LC which is a commercial Letter of Credit, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to one-half (1/2) of the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans in effect from time to time on the average daily undrawn stated amount under such Facility LC, in each case, such fee to be payable in arrears on each Payment Date (the “LC Fee”). The Borrower shall also pay to the LC Issuer for its own account (x) a fronting fee in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter and (y) on demand, all amendment, drawing and other fees regularly charged by the LC Issuer to its letter

34


 

of credit customers and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC Issuer in connection with the issuance, Modification, administration or payment of any Facility LC.
          (f) Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by the LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”). The responsibility of the LC Issuer to the Borrower and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC. The LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Issuer, each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse the LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by the LC Issuer under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(g) below and there are not funds available in the Facility LC Collateral Account to cover the same, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of the LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (California time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
          (g) Reimbursement by Borrower. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither the Borrower nor any Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. All such amounts paid by the LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2.00% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date. The LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from the Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by the LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to the LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.19(f). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section 2.8 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), the Borrower may request an Advance hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.
          (h) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.19 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Facility LC. The Borrower further agrees with the LC Issuer and the Lenders that the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s

35


 

Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee. The LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put the LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.19(h) is intended to limit the right of the Borrower to make a claim against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.19(g).
          (i) Actions of LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex, teletype or electronic mail message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19, the LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC.
          (j) [Intentionally Omitted].
          (k) Lenders’ Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.19 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.
          (l) Facility LC Collateral Account. The Borrower agrees that it will, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders and until the final expiration date of any Facility LC and thereafter as long as any amount is payable to the LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Facility LC, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”), in the name of such Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which such Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent will invest any funds

36


 

on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of U.S. Bank having a maturity not exceeding thirty (30) days. Nothing in this Section 2.19(l) shall either obligate the Administrative Agent to require the Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account or limit the right of the Administrative Agent to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account in each case other than as required by Section 8.1.
          (m) Rights as a Lender. In its capacity as a Lender, the LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.
     2.20. Replacement of Lender. If the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to make a Loan, reimburse the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.19(e) or the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(d) or declines to approve an amendment or waiver requiring the consent of “all of the Lenders” or “each Lender directly affected thereby” that is approved by the Required Lenders or otherwise becomes a Defaulting Lender (any Lender so affected an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit B and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.3 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5.
     2.21. Limitation of Interest. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 2.21 shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 2.21, even if such provision declares that it controls. As used in this Section 2.21, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the Obligations. In no event shall the Borrower or any other Person be obligated to pay, or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (a) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted under the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of any applicable state, or (b) total interest in excess of the amount which such Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the Obligations at the Highest Lawful Rate. On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the Highest Lawful Rate for that day, and shall remain fixed at the Highest Lawful Rate for each day thereafter until the total amount of interest accrued equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if there were no such ceiling rate as is imposed by this sentence. Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate when the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate. The daily interest rates to be used in

37


 

calculating interest at the Highest Lawful Rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable Highest Lawful Rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made. None of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 2.21, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. If the term of any Obligation is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason any Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Highest Lawful Rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such Lender, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrower’s obligations to such Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.
     2.22. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
          (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.5;
          (b) the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder;
          (c) if any Swing Line Loans shall be outstanding or any LC Obligations shall exist at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
  (i)   all or any part of the unfunded participations in and commitments with respect to such Swing Line Loans or Facility LCs shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Outstanding Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lenders’ Loans and participations in and commitments with respect to Loans and Facility LCs does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Article IV are satisfied at such time; provided, that the LC Fees payable to the Lenders shall be determined taking into account such reallocation.
 
  (ii)   if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay the outstanding Swing Line Loans that were not reallocated and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.1 for so long as such Facility LC Exposure is outstanding;
 
  (iii)   if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(e) with respect to such Defaulting

38


 

      Lender’s Facility LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure is cash collateralized; and
  (iv)   if any Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure is not cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the LC Issuer or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.19(e) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Facility LC Exposure shall be payable to the LC Issuer until such Facility LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
          (d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue or Modify any Facility LC, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by cash collateral provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.22(c); and
          (e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.2 but excluding Section 2.20) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Revolving Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participating interest in any Swing Line Loan or Facility LC in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (vi) sixth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, distributed to the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lender until the ratio of the Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Lenders to the Aggregate Outstanding Exposure equals such ratio immediately prior to the Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund any portion of any Loans or participations in Facility LCs or Swing Line Loans and (vii) seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of draws under Facility LCs with respect to which the LC Issuer has funded its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the LC Issuer and the Swing Line Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure and Facility LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold the Revolving Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. For purposes of this Section 2.22, (x) “Swing Line Exposure” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender at any time, such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding at such time and (y) “Facility LC Exposure” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender at any time, such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Obligations at such time.

39


 

Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Borrower of any of its rights or remedies (whether in equity or law) against any Lender which fails to fund any of its Loans hereunder at the time or in the amount required to be funded under the terms of this Agreement.
     2.23. Increase Option. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Commitments, in each case in minimum increments of $5,000,000 or such lower amount as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree upon, so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $25,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Commitments, or extend Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.23. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of Section 4.2 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance (on a Pro Forma Basis) with the covenants contained in Section 6.26 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents reasonably requested by it and consistent with those delivered on the date hereof as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.
ARTICLE III
YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES
     3.1. Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) is adopted, or any change is made in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or

40


 

administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, including, notwithstanding the foregoing, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:
          (a) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings, and any and all liabilities with respect to the foregoing (other than (A) Taxes, (B) Other Taxes or (C) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or
          (b) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances) and Daily Eurodollar Loans, or
          (c) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans or Daily Eurodollar Loans, or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer in connection with its Eurodollar Loans, or Daily Eurodollar Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurodollar Loans, or Daily Eurodollar Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or the LC Issuer as the case may be,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in connection with such Loans or Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.
     3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or the LC Issuer determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or the LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Lender or the LC Issuer, or any corporation or holding company controlling such Lender or the LC Issuer is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender or the LC Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender or the LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Facility LCs, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having

41


 

the force of law) or in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or administration thereof after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or the LC Issuer or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender or the LC Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act shall be deemed to be a Change regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. All requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities shall be deemed to be a Change regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.
     3.3. Availability of Types of Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate. If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances or Daily Eurodollar Loans are not available to such Lenders in the relevant market or the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lenders, determines that the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances or Daily Eurodollar Loans is not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances or Daily Eurodollar Loans, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Advances or Daily Eurodollar Loans and require any affected Eurodollar Advances or Daily Eurodollar Loans to be repaid or converted to Base Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4.
     3.4. Funding Indemnification. If (a) any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, (b) a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, (c) a Eurodollar Loan is converted other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) the Borrower fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (e) any Eurodollar Loan is assigned other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for such Lender’s costs, expenses and Interest Differential (as determined by such Lender) incurred as a result of such prepayment. The term “Interest Differential” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Lender resulting from prepayment, calculated as the difference between the amount of interest such Lender would have earned (from the investments in money markets as of the Borrowing Date of such Advance) had prepayment not occurred and the interest such Lender will actually earn (from like investments in money markets as of the date of prepayment) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, Borrower agrees that Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value.
     3.5. Taxes.
          (a) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note or Facility LC Application shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes except as required by law. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under

this Section 3.5) such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt, or other evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, evidencing payment thereof as soon as practicable after such payment is made.
          (b) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or Facility LC Application or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note or Facility LC Application (“Other Taxes”).
          (c) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender as a result of its Commitment, any Loans made by it hereunder, or otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.
          (d) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, deliver to each of the Borrower and Administrative Agent either (i) two (2) duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, or (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (I) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (II) a “ten (10) percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (III) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall provide evidence that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
          (e) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (d) above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this

43


 

Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (d) above, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.
          (f) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
          (g) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(g) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
          (h) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder, or under any Note or Facility LC Application would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.5(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
          (i) If the Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.5) with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or Lender, as the case may be, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 3.5(i) shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or

44


 

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

Law.

If any other Event of Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives, and (b) upon notice to the Borrower and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.

75


 

          (b) If at any time while any Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Administrative Agent may make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.
          (c) The Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lenders or the LC Issuer under the Loan Documents, as provided in Section 8.2.
          (d) At any time while any Event of Default is continuing, neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account. After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, any funds remaining in the Facility LC Collateral Account shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time.
          (e) If, within thirty (30) days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs hereunder as a result of any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.1 (or after the Obligations have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.1(i)), any amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
          (a) First, to payment of fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
          (b) Second, to payment of fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, LC Fees and Commitment Fees) payable to the Lenders and the LC Issuer (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the LC Issuer as required by Section 9.6 and amounts payable under Article III);
          (c) Third, to payment of accrued and unpaid LC Fees, Commitment Fees and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the LC Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this Section 8.2(c) payable to them;
          (d) Fourth, to payment of the unpaid principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares;

          (g) Last, the balance, if any, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
     8.3. Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.3, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency of a technical or immaterial nature, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent
     8.4. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be

77


 

available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders), provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reconciliation statements showing the difference in such calculation, together with the delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements required hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. It is agreed that the Arranger shall, in its capacity as such, have no duties or responsibilities under the Agreement or any other Loan Document.

The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
     10.6. Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
     10.9. Notice of Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders; provided that, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
     10.10. Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.
     10.11. Lender Credit Decision, Legal Representation.
          (a) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each

83


 

Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except for any notice, report, document or other information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or Arranger hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility (either initially or on a continuing basis) to provide any Lender with any notice, report, document, credit information or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Arranger (whether or not in their respective capacity as Administrative Agent or Arranger) or any of their Affiliates.
          (b) Each Lender further acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be represented by legal counsel in connection with its execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that it has made its own evaluation of all applicable laws and regulations relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the counsel to the Administrative Agent represents only the Administrative Agent and not the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
     10.12. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five (45) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (provided that no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, consented to by the Borrower) within thirty (30) days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by merger, or the Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Administrative Agent.

84


 

     10.13. Administrative Agent and Arranger Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, for their respective accounts, the fees agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated July 12, 2011 (the “Fee Letter”), or as otherwise agreed from time to time.
     10.14. Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X.
     10.15. Execution of Collateral Documents. The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower on their behalf the Collateral Document(s) and all related financing statements and any financing statements, agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Collateral Document(s).
     10.16. Collateral Releases. The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower on their behalf any agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of Collateral which shall be permitted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document or which shall otherwise have been approved by the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of Section 8.2, all of the Lenders) in writing.
     10.17. Co-Syndication Agents, etc. Neither any of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a “co-agent” nor the Co-Syndication Agents shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 10.11.
     10.18. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
     10.19. Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan

85


 

Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.1 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the LC Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the LC Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in their respective capacities as LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.1 (subject to the terms of Section 11.2), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.1 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 11.2, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.
ARTICLE XI
SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
     11.1. Setoff. The Borrower hereby grants each Lender a security interest in all deposits, credits and deposit accounts (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) of the Borrower with such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender (the “Deposits”). In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Event of Default occurs, Borrower authorizes each Lender, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to offset and apply all such Deposits toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, Guarantee or any other security, right or remedy available to such Lender or the Lenders.
     11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
ARTICLE XII
BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
     12.1. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or

86


 

obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3, and (iii) any transfer by participation must be made in compliance with Section 12.2. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 12.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.
     12.2. Participations.
          (a) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.
          (b) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents provided that each such Lender may agree in its participation agreement with its Participant that such Lender will not vote to approve any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Outstanding Credit Exposure or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3 or of any other Loan Document.
          (c) Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received

87


 

pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 9.6 and 9.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower, and (ii) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.5 shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
     12.3. Assignments.
          (a) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of the assigning Lender or (unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Commitment or Outstanding Credit Exposure (if the Commitment has been terminated) subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in the assignment.
          (b) Consents. The consent of the Borrower shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective. The consent of the LC Issuer shall be required prior to an assignment of a Revolving Commitment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment. Any consent required under this Section 12.3(b) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
          (c) Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an assignment, together with any consents required by Sections 12.3(a) and 12.3(b), and (ii) payment by the assigning Lender of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such

88


 

fee is waived by the Administrative Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.3 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.2. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3(c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.
          (d) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States of America, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender, and participations of each Lender in Facility LCs, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
     12.4. Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any Reports; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement.
     12.5. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(d), (f) and (h). For the avoidance of doubt, the Transferee’s right to indemnification and additional amounts shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.5(e).

of any such occurrence, the Mortgagor, upon request of such Indemnified Party, will, at the Mortgagor’s expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted or defended by counsel designated by the Mortgagor and approved by such Indemnified Party.

          (b) The Mortgagor further covenants and agrees that:
     (i) It shall not surrender any leasehold estate and interest hereinabove described (except upon the expiration thereof), nor terminate or cancel the Encumbered Lease, and that it shall not without the express written consent of the Mortgagee modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Encumbered Lease either orally or in writing, except that Mortgagor may enter into any modifications, changes, supplements, alterations or amendments which do not and will not adversely affect in any material respect the rights and obligations of Mortgagor as lessee under the Encumbered Lease or Mortgagee under this Mortgage, without the consent of Mortgagee. As further security for the repayment of the Indebtedness secured hereby and for the performance of the covenants herein and in the Encumbered Lease contained, and except as stated in the foregoing sentence, the Mortgagor hereby collaterally assigns to the Mortgagee all of its rights, privileges and prerogatives as lessee under the Encumbered Lease to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Encumbered Lease, and so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing any such termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Encumbered Lease without the prior written consent thereto by the Mortgagee (to the extent required above) shall be void and of no force and effect.
     (ii) No release or forbearance of any of the Mortgagor’s obligations under the Encumbered Lease, pursuant to the Encumbered Lease or otherwise, shall release the Mortgagor from any of its obligations under this Mortgage, including, without limitation, its obligations with respect to the payment of rent as provided for in the Encumbered Lease and the performance of all of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Encumbered Lease, to be kept, performed and complied with by the lessee therein.
     (iii) Unless the Mortgagee shall otherwise expressly consent in writing, the fee title to the Land, the Mortgagor’s interest in the improvements on the Land and the leasehold estate created by the Encumbered Lease shall not merge by and shall always remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in the lessor or in the lessee, or in a third party by purchase or otherwise. If notwithstanding the foregoing a merger of such fee and leasehold estate is deemed to have occurred, then this Mortgage shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and shall encumber the entire merged fee and leasehold estate.
     (iv) The Mortgagor will not appoint or consent to the appointment of an arbitrator pursuant to any provision of the Encumbered Lease so providing without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Mortgagor shall promptly notify the Mortgagee in writing of any request made by the Mortgagor, as lessee under the Encumbered Lease, or the lessor thereunder, for arbitration proceedings pursuant to the Encumbered Lease and of the institution of

EXH. I-13


 

any arbitration proceedings, as well as all proceedings thereunder. In addition, the Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to the Mortgagee a copy of the determination of the arbitrators in each such arbitration proceeding. The Mortgagee shall have the right to participate with the Mortgagor or on its own behalf as an interested party in accordance with the terms of the Encumbered Lease.
     (v) [Unless required pursuant to the terms of the Encumbered Lease — only for use in future leases between non-Affiliates of any Loan Party], the Mortgagor shall not consent to the subordination of the Encumbered Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien on the fee interest of the lessor under the Encumbered Lease.
     (vi) If the Mortgagor acquires fee simple title or any other estate, title or interest in the Land, the Mortgagor shall promptly notify the Mortgagee of such acquisition and, upon written request by the Mortgagee, shall cause to be executed and recorded all such other and further assurances or other instruments in writing as may in the opinion of the Mortgagee be required or desirable to carry out the intent and meaning of clause (iii) above.
     (vii) Within five (5) days after the Mortgagor’s receipt of any notice of any motion, application or effort to reject the Encumbered Lease by the lessor thereunder or any trustee arising from or in connection with any case, proceeding or other action commenced or pending by or against such lessor under the Code or any comparable provisions contained in any present or future Federal, state, local, foreign or other statute, law, rule or regulation, the Mortgagor shall give notice thereof to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor hereby (A) assigns to the Mortgagee any and all of the Mortgagor’s rights as lessee under Section 365(h) of the Code or any comparable provisions contained in any present or future Federal, state, local, (“Comparable Provisions”) and (B) covenants that it shall not elect to treat the Encumbered Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Code without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, and (C) agrees that any such election by the Mortgagor without such consent shall be null and void.
     (viii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Mortgagor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to the Mortgagee all of the Mortgagor’s claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by the lessor under the Encumbered Lease under the Code or any Comparable Provision. The Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name the Mortgagor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Encumbered Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of the Mortgagor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessor thereunder under the Code or any Comparable Provision. This Assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all of the Indebtedness shall have been satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by the Mortgagee in damages arising out of the rejection of the Encumbered Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all reasonable costs and expenses of the Mortgagee (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Section 2.20.

EXH. I-14


 

     (ix) If there shall be filed by or against the Mortgagor a petition under the Code and the Mortgagor, as lessee under the Encumbered Lease, shall determine to reject the Encumbered Lease, the Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee not less than ten (10) days prior notice of the date on which the Mortgagor shall apply to the United States Bankruptcy Court or other judicial body with appropriate jurisdiction for authority to reject the Encumbered Lease; the Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon the Mortgagor within such ten (10) day period a notice stating that (a) the Mortgagee demands that the Mortgagor assume and assign the Encumbered Lease to the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 365 of the Code and (b) the Mortgagee covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Encumbered Lease. If the Mortgagee serves upon the Mortgagor the notice described in the preceding sentence, the Mortgagor shall not seek to reject the Encumbered Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in subclause (a) of the preceding clause within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given subject to the performance by the Mortgagee of the covenant provided for in subclause (b) of the preceding clause. Effective upon the entry of an order for relief in respect of the Mortgagor under Chapter 7 of the Code or any Comparable Provision, the Mortgagor hereby assigns and transfers to the Mortgagee a non-exclusive right to apply to the Bankruptcy Court or other judicial body with appropriate jurisdiction for an order extending the period during which the Encumbered Lease may be rejected or assumed.
     (x) The Mortgagor shall promptly give to the Mortgagee copies of (A) all notices of default or (B) any other communications or notices with respect to events which relate to the possible impairment of the security of this Mortgage which it shall give or receive under the Encumbered Lease and shall promptly notify the Mortgagee of any default under the Encumbered Lease on the part of the lessor thereunder or the Mortgagor.
     (xi) The Mortgagor shall enforce the obligations of the lessor under the Encumbered Lease, to the end that the Mortgagor may enjoy all of the rights granted to it under the Encumbered Lease.
     (xii) The Mortgagor shall notify the Mortgagee within ten (10) days after the Mortgagor becomes aware of the transfer of the fee interest in the Land or any portion thereof.
          (c) The Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants that (i) the Encumbered Lease is in full force and effect, and there have been no amendments to the Encumbered Lease or other agreements with the lessor with respect to the Leased Premises, (ii) all rent and additional rent payable under the Encumbered Lease has been paid to the extent they were due and payable to the date hereof, and (iii) no events of default by the Mortgagor have occurred under the Encumbered Lease, and to the Mortgagor’s knowledge, no events of default by the landlord thereunder have occurred and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, would constitute an event of default under the Encumbered Lease.
          (d) The Mortgagor hereby acknowledges that if the Encumbered Lease shall be terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term due to default by the lessee thereunder, and if the Mortgagee or its designee shall acquire from the lessor thereunder a new lease of the Real Estate or any portion thereof, the Mortgagor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, or the options therein contained, if any.

EXH. I-15


 

          (e) None of the rights and privileges granted to the Mortgagor hereunder or under any other Loan Document is in any way intended to diminish or lessen the Mortgagor’s obligations under subparagraph (a) of this Section 2.20.
          (f) Without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Mortgagor will not, during the continuation of an Event of Default, exercise or waive any of the Special Encumbered Lease Rights. During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request made by the Mortgagee, and provided such exercise is reasonably necessary to protect the rights of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage and in the Collateral, the Mortgagor will exercise any or all of the Special Encumbered Lease Rights. Subject to the foregoing, the Mortgagor hereby collaterally assigns to the Mortgagee the right to exercise during the continuance of an Event of Default any or all of the Special Encumbered Lease Rights by and on behalf of the Mortgagor and, upon such request made by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor will promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after request) take such actions and execute such instruments as are requested by the Mortgagor to evidence to any third party the Mortgagee’s rights to so exercise the Special Encumbered Lease Rights. Notwithstanding the assignment of the Special Encumbered Lease Rights to the Mortgagee, so long as an Event of Default is not continuing the Mortgagor shall retain the nonexclusive right to exercise, without the concurrence of the Mortgagee, any of the Special Encumbered Lease Rights other than the right to terminate the Encumbered Lease as a result of condemnation of the Land.]
ARTICLE III

     3.1 Insurance.
          (a) [Except to the extent required in the Credit Agreement, provided such coverage is required of the lessee under the Encumbered Lease, the] the Mortgagor will, at its expense, maintain or cause to be maintained with insurance carriers approved by Mortgagee (i) insurance with respect to the Improvements [Leased Premises] against loss or damage by fire, lightning and such other risks as are included in standard “all-risk” policies, in amounts sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer of any partial loss under the applicable policies, but in any event in amounts not less than the then full insurable value (actual replacement value) of the Improvements [Leased Premises], as determined by the Mortgagor in accordance with generally accepted insurance practice and approved by the Mortgagee or, at the request of the Mortgagee, as determined at the Mortgagor’s expense by the insurer or insurers or by an expert approved by the Mortgagee, (ii) commercial general liability insurance, including bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, product liability and completed operations coverage, applicable to the businesses conducted at the Property [Leased Premises] in such amounts as are usually carried by Persons operating similar properties in the same general locality, [but in any event with a combined single limit of not less than $[_____________] per occurrence,] (iii) explosion insurance in respect of any steam and pressure boilers and similar apparatus located in the Property [Leased Premises] in such amounts as are usually carried by persons operating similar properties in the same general locality, but in any event in an amount not less than reasonably required by the Mortgagee, (iv) worker’s compensation insurance to the full extent required by applicable law for all employees of the Mortgagor engaged in any work on or about the Property [Leased Premises] and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of not less than the $[_______________________] for each occurrence, (v) all-risk, builders’ risk insurance with respect to the Property [Leased Premises] during any period during which there is any construction work being performed, against loss or damage by fire or other risks, including vandalism, malicious mischief and sprinkler leakage, as are included in so-called “extended coverage” clauses at the time available and (vi) such other insurance with respect to the Property [Leased Premises] in such amounts and against such insurable hazards as the Mortgagee from time to time may reasonably require by written notice to the Mortgagor. For purposes hereof, if certain insurance or amounts or forms

EXH. I-16


 

of coverage are reasonably required for the Secured Obligations to be rated by required rating and approved rating agencies, it shall be deemed “reasonable” for Mortgagee to require the same.
          (b) All insurance maintained by the Mortgagor pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall (i) (except for worker’s compensation insurance) name the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee as insureds as their respective interests may appear, (ii) (except for worker’s compensation and public liability insurance) provide that the proceeds for any losses shall be adjusted by the Mortgagor subject to the approval of the Mortgagee in the event the proceeds shall exceed [________], and shall be payable to the Mortgagee, to be held and applied as provided in Section 3.3, (iii) include effective waivers by the insurer of all rights of subrogation against any named insured, the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and the Property [Leased Premises] and all claims for insurance premiums against the Mortgagee, (iv) provide that any losses shall be payable notwithstanding (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupation or use of the Property [Leased Premises] for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by the Mortgagee pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, or (D) any change in title or ownership of the Property [Leased Premises], (v) provide that no cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage thereof or any portion thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days after receipt by the Mortgagee of written notice thereof, (vi) provide that any notice under such policies shall be simultaneously delivered to Mortgagee, and (vii) be satisfactory in all other respects to the Mortgagee. Any insurance maintained pursuant to Section 3.1(b) may be evidenced by blanket insurance policies covering the Property [Leased Premises] and other properties or assets of the Mortgagor; provided, however, that any such policy shall specify the portion, if less than all, of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Property [Leased Premises] and shall in all other respects comply with the requirements of this Section 3.1.
          (c) The Mortgagor will deliver to the Mortgagee, promptly upon request, (i) copies of all policies evidencing all insurance required to be maintained under Section 3.1(a) (or, in the case of blanket policies, certificates thereof by the insurers together with a counterpart of each blanket policy), and (ii) evidence as to the payment of all premiums due thereon (with respect to insurance policies payable other than by a single lump sum, all installments for the current year due thereon to such date); provided, however, that the Mortgagee shall not be deemed by reason of its custody of such policies to have knowledge of the contents thereof. The Mortgagor will also deliver to the Mortgagee not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any policy a binder or certificate of the insurer evidencing the replacement thereof. In the event the Mortgagor shall fail to effect or maintain any insurance required to be effected or maintained pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.1, the Mortgagor will indemnify the Mortgagee against damage, loss or liability resulting from all risks for which such insurance should have been effected or maintained.
          (d) The Mortgagor will not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 3.1.
     3.2 Damage, Destruction or Taking; Mortgagor to Give Notice; Assignment of Awards.
     In case of:
          (a) any damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any part thereof, or
          (b) any taking, whether for permanent or temporary use, of all or any part of the Collateral or any interest therein or right accruing thereto, as the result of or in anticipation of the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain, or a change of grade affecting the Collateral or any

EXH. I-17


 

portion thereof (a “Taking”), or the commencement of any proceedings or negotiations which may result in a Taking,
the Mortgagor will promptly give written notice thereof to the Mortgagee, generally describing the nature and extent of such damage or destruction and the Mortgagor’s best estimate of the cost of restoring the Collateral, or the nature of such proceedings or negotiations and the nature and extent of the Taking which might result therefrom, as the case may be. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in the Credit Agreement and subject to applicable law, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage or destruction and to all awards or payments allocable to the Collateral on account of such Taking, and the Mortgagor hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and sets over to the Mortgagee all rights of the Mortgagor to any such proceeds, awards or payments and irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee, at its option, in the name of the Mortgagor or otherwise, to file and prosecute what would otherwise be the Mortgagor’s claim for any such proceeds, award or payment and to collect, receipt for and retain the same for disposition in accordance with Section 3.3. The Mortgagor will pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with any such damage, destruction or Taking and seeking and obtaining any insurance proceeds, awards or payments in respect thereof.
     3.3 Application of Proceeds and Awards.
          (a) At such time as a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Mortgagee may, at its option, in connection with all amounts recovered under any insurance policy required to be maintained by the Mortgagor hereunder and all awards received by it on account of any Taking, subject to applicable Law, (i) hold such amounts in a Collateral Account, (ii) apply such amounts to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement or (iii) disburse such amounts to Mortgagor in Mortgagee’s sole discretion.
          (b) If no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are equal to or less than $______________ and Mortgagor delivers written notice to Beneficiary of its intention to repair, replace, or restore the Collateral within twenty-one (21) days after receiving notice of the amount of such insurance proceeds or condemnation award, such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards shall be paid directly to Mortgagor. With respect to an insured loss or Taking where the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards exceed $____________, but it is not a Total Destruction or a Total Taking, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the provisions of Section 3.4, if each of the following conditions is satisfied, the Mortgagee, upon request of the Mortgagor, shall apply insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received by it to the restoration or replacement of the Collateral, to the extent necessary for the restoration or replacement thereof:
     (i) the Mortgagor shall furnish to the Mortgagee a certificate of an architect or engineer reasonably acceptable to the Mortgagee stating (x) that the Collateral is capable of being restored, prior to the maturity of the Credit Agreement, to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the casualty or Taking, (y) the aggregate estimated direct and indirect costs of such restoration and (z) as to any Taking, that the property taken in such Taking, or sold under threat thereof, is not necessary to the Mortgagor’s customary use or occupancy of the Property;
     (ii) the Mortgagor shall furnish the Mortgagee with a letter from the applicable municipal authority that restoration for the pre-existing use and purposes, without material diminution of size of the aggregate square footage of buildings included in the Collateral or need to change existing parking, access, or similar matters or pay

EXH. I-18


 

additional impact fees, is legally permitted without need of any municipal or governmental approval other than customary permitting applicable generally; and
     (iii) in the event that the estimated cost of restoration set forth in the certificate of such architect or engineer (and such revisions to such estimate as are from time to time made) exceeds the net insurance proceeds or condemnation awards actually received from time to time, the Mortgagor shall deposit the amount of such excess with the Mortgagee.
     In the event that such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are to be utilized in the restoration of the Collateral, the Mortgagee shall disburse such Proceeds and the additional amounts deposited by the Mortgagor for such restoration after receipt of a written request for disbursement, on not fewer than five (5) Business Days nor more than twelve (12) Business Days notice and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with customary construction loan procedures and conditions. In the event that such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are to be utilized to replace the Collateral so destroyed or taken, the Mortgagee shall disburse such Proceeds after receipt of a written request for disbursement, on not fewer than five (5) Business Days nor more than twelve (12) Business Days notice simultaneously with the acquisition of such replacement property by the Mortgagor. In the event that, after the restoration or replacement of the Collateral, any insurance or condemnation awards shall remain, such amount shall be paid to the Mortgagor. Insurance proceeds and condemnation awards shall be invested in the manner reasonably requested by the Mortgagor and approved by the Mortgagee, and all interest earned thereon shall be applied as provided in this Section 3.3. If, prior to the receipt by the Mortgagee of such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, the Collateral shall have been sold on foreclosure, the Mortgagee shall have the right to receive said insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale, with legal interest thereon, whether or not a deficiency judgment shall have been sought or recovered or denied, and the reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with the collection of such award or payment.
     3.4 Total Taking and Total Destruction. In the event of a Total Destruction or a Total Taking, the Mortgagee shall apply all amounts recovered under any insurance policy referred to in Section 2.3(a) and all awards received by it on account of any such Taking as follows:
          (a) first, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in obtaining any such insurance proceeds or awards, including the fees and expenses of attorneys and insurance and other experts and consultants, the costs of litigation, arbitration, mediation, investigations and other judicial, administrative or other proceedings and all other out-of-pocket expenses;
          (b) second, to the payment of any Obligation (other than as provided in clause (c) below);
          (c) third, to the payment of the principal of the Loans and any interest (including post-petition Interest to the extent such interest is an Obligation) accrued and unpaid thereon, without regard to whether any portion or all of such amounts shall be matured or unmatured, together with interest at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement on any overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest; and, in case such amount shall be insufficient to pay in full all such amounts, then such amount shall be applied, first, to the payment of all amounts of interest (including post-petition Interest to the extent such interest is an Obligation) accrued on the Loans and unpaid, and second, to the payment of all amounts of principal at the time outstanding;

EXH. I-19


 

          (d) fourth, to fulfill any of the other covenants contained herein or in any other Loan Document as the Mortgagee may determine; and
          (e) fifth, the balance, if any, to the Mortgagor.
     3.5 Future Advances. This Mortgage is given to secure not only presently existing indebtedness of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents [(and of Mortgagor under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement)] but also future advances that constitute Obligations under the Credit Agreement (whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of Mortgagee, or otherwise), to the same extent and with the same priority as if such future advances were made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage and without regard as to whether or not there is any advance made at the time of execution of this Mortgage and without regard as to whether or not there is any indebtedness outstanding at the time any advance is made. [Subject to the limitations upon the maximum amount secured hereby, this] [This] Mortgage secures all present and future disbursements of the Loans under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and all other sums from time to time owing to the Lenders by Borrower [and/or Mortgagor] under the Loan Documents. [ADD IF REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW: Notwithstanding anything contained in this Mortgage to the contrary, the maximum principal amount which may be secured hereby at any one time is _____________ Dollars ($___________), plus interest thereon, and any disbursements made by Mortgagee for the payment of taxes, special assessments, or insurance on the Mortgaged Property, with interest on such disbursements; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall apply only to the maximum amount of the lien created by this Mortgage, and it shall not in any manner limit, affect or impair any grant of a security interest or other right in favor of the Mortgagee or the other Lenders under the provisions of the Credit Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents at any time executed by Borrower [or Mortgagor or any of the other Subsidiary Guarantors].] To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the lien of this Mortgage, as to all such sums so advanced, shall have priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including statutory liens.
ARTICLE IV
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES, ETC.
     4.1 Events of Default; Acceleration. If an Event of Default shall occur, then and in any such event the Mortgagee may at any time thereafter (unless all Events of Default shall theretofore have been remedied and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Mortgagee, shall have been paid in full by the Mortgagor) declare, by written notice to the Mortgagor, the Loans and all other Obligations to be due and payable immediately or on a date specified in such notice, and on such date the same shall be and become due and payable, together with interest accrued thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which the Mortgagor hereby waives. The Mortgagor will pay on demand all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by or on behalf of the Mortgagee in enforcing this Mortgage or the Obligations, or any other Loan Document, or occasioned by any default hereunder or thereunder.
     4.2 Legal Proceedings; Foreclosure. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee at any time may, at its election, proceed at law or in equity or otherwise to enforce the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is located, as against all or any part of the Collateral and to have the same sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Mortgagee shall be entitled to recover in such proceedings all costs incident thereto, including attorneys’ fees and expenses in such amounts as may be fixed by the court.

EXH. I-20


 

     4.3 Power of Sale. Provided that power of sale is legally permitted in the state in which the Land is located the following shall apply. If any unpaid principal amount of and interest on the Loans shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or as an installment of combined principal and interest or by reason of any prepayment requirement or by declaration or acceleration or otherwise) and shall not have been paid, the Mortgagee may sell, assign, transfer and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral, or any interest in any part thereof, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without demand, advertisement or notice, for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Mortgagee in its uncontrolled discretion may determine, or as may be required by law. Without limiting the authority granted in the immediately preceding sentence, the Mortgagee shall, without demand on the Mortgagor, after the lapse of such time as may then be required by law, and notice of default and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, sell the Collateral on the date and at the time and place designated in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such order as the Mortgagee may determine, but subject to any statutory right of the Mortgagor to direct the order in which such property, if consisting of several known lots, parcels or interests, shall be sold, at public auction to the highest bidder, the purchase price payable in lawful money of the United States at the time of sale. The Person conducting the sale may, for any cause deemed expedient, postpone the sale from time to time until it shall be completed and, in every such case, notice of postponement shall be given by public declaration thereof by such Person at the time and place last appointed for the sale; provided, however, that, if the sale is postponed for longer than one day beyond the day designated in the notice of sale, notice of sale and notice of the time, date and place of sale shall be given in the same manner as the original notice of sale. The Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser at any such sale a mortgagee’s deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such mortgagee’s deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any Person, including the Mortgagee, may bid at the sale.
     4.4 Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee may exercise from time to time and at any time any rights and remedies available to it under applicable law upon default in the payment of indebtedness, including, without limitation, any right or remedy available to it as a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State. The Mortgagor shall, promptly upon request by the Mortgagee, assemble the Collateral, or any portion thereof generally described in such request, and make it available to the Mortgagee at such place or places designated by the Mortgagee and reasonably convenient to the Mortgagee. If the Mortgagee elects to proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State to dispose of portions of the Collateral, the Mortgagee, at its option, may give the Mortgagor notice of the time and place of any public sale of any such property, or of the date after which any private sale or other disposition thereof is to be made, by sending notice by registered or certified first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Mortgagor at least ten days before the time of the sale or other disposition. If any notice of any proposed sale, assignment or transfer by the Mortgagee of any portion of the Collateral or any interest therein is required by law, the Mortgagor conclusively agrees that ten days notice to the Mortgagor of the date, time and place (and, in the case of a private sale, the terms) thereof is reasonable.
     4.5 Mortgagee Authorized to Execute Deeds, etc. The Mortgagor irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful attorney of the Mortgagor, in its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for the enforcement hereof, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, to execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.
     4.6 Purchase of Collateral by Mortgagee. The Mortgagee may be a purchaser of the Collateral or of any part thereof or of any interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to power

EXH. I-21


 

of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and the Mortgagee may apply upon the purchase price thereof the indebtedness secured hereby owing to the Mortgagee. Such purchaser shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the properties so purchased, free of the security interest and lien of this Mortgage and free of all rights of redemption in the Mortgagor.
     4.7 Receipt a Sufficient Discharge to Purchaser. Upon any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, the receipt of the Mortgagee or the officer making the sale under judicial proceedings shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such purchaser shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.
     4.8 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, etc. The Mortgagor hereby waives, to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein.
     4.9 Sale a Bar Against Mortgagor. Any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein under or by virtue of this Mortgage, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, shall forever be a bar against the Mortgagor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.
     4.10 Obligations to Become Due on Sale. Upon any sale of the Collateral or any material portion thereof or interest therein by virtue of the exercise of any remedy by the Mortgagee under or by virtue of this Mortgage, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise in accordance with this Mortgage or by virtue of any other remedy available at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, at the sole option of the Mortgagee, all Obligations shall, if not previously declared due and payable, immediately become due and payable, together with interest accrued thereon and all other indebtedness which this Mortgage by its terms secures.

EXH. I-22


 

Mortgagee may consider it necessary or desirable to pay, and any balance of such amounts shall be applied as provided in Section 4.11.
     4.14 Right of Mortgagee to Perform Mortgagor’s Covenants, etc. If the Mortgagor shall fail to make any payment or perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or any the other Loan Document, the Mortgagee, without notice to or demand upon the Mortgagor and without waiving or releasing any obligation or Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of the Mortgagor, and may enter upon the Collateral for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in the Mortgagee’s opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry and no such action shall be deemed an eviction of any lessee of the Property or any part thereof. All sums so paid by the Mortgagee and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest thereon at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement from the date of payment or incurring, shall constitute additional indebtedness under the Credit Agreement secured by this Mortgage and shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee on demand.
     4.15 Subrogation. To the extent that the Mortgagee, on or after the date hereof, pays any sum due under any provision of any Legal Requirement or any instrument creating any lien prior or superior to the lien of this Mortgage, or the Mortgagor or any other Person pays any such sum with the proceeds of any Credit Extension, the Mortgagee shall have and be entitled to a lien on the Collateral equal in priority to the lien discharged, and the Mortgagee shall be subrogated to, and receive and enjoy all rights and liens possessed, held or enjoyed by, the holder of such lien, which shall remain in existence and benefit the Mortgagee in securing the Obligations.
     4.16 Remedies, etc., Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of the Mortgagee provided for in this Mortgage or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Mortgagee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Mortgage, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Mortgagee of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.
     4.17 Provisions Subject to Applicable Law. All rights, powers and remedies provided in this Mortgage may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Mortgage invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Mortgage or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Mortgage and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.
     4.18 No Waiver, etc. No failure by the Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or of any other Loan Document, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof or thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Mortgage, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. By accepting payment or performance of any amount or other Obligations secured hereby before or after its due date, the Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have waived its right either to require prompt payment or performance when due of all other amounts and Obligations payable hereunder or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment.

Administrative Agent) and a certificate of such Pledgor to the effect that the transaction is in compliance with the Loan Documents.
               (b) Upon the Termination Date, the pledge, assignment and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Pledgor.

To the Pledgor’s knowledge, there exists no default under any such LLC Agreement or Partnership Agreement by such Pledgor.
               (c) Each such LLC Agreement and Partnership Agreement, as the case may be, expressly provides that the Pledged Membership Interests or Pledged Partnership Interests, as the case may be, are not “securities” governed by Article 8 of applicable Uniform Commercial Code.

Following receipt by any Pledgor of any promissory note or certificate evidencing any such Investment made by any Pledgor in any such Person which has not been delivered by such Pledgor to the Administrative Agent in pledge hereunder, such Pledgor shall deliver such promissory note or other certificate to the Administrative Agent, endorsed and accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment as contemplated by Section 2.3 hereof.
               (c) Each Pledgor agrees that at any time, and from time to time, at the expense of such Pledgor, such Pledgor will, as soon as reasonably practicable, execute and deliver all further instruments, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.

EXH. J-8


 

               (b) With respect to any Pledged Equity Interests in which any Pledgor has any right, title or interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security, such Pledgor will cause the applicable Securities Issuer either (i) to register the Administrative Agent as the registered owner of such Pledged Equity Interest or (ii) to deliver a written acknowledgement and agreement to the Administrative Agent (A) to acknowledge the security interest of the Administrative Agent in such Pledged Equity Interest granted hereunder, (B) to confirm that such Securities Issuer has marked the company register for such Pledged Equity Interest or other applicable records to reflect such security interest of the Administrative Agent, (C) to confirm to the Administrative Agent that it has not received notice of any other Lien in such Pledged Equity Interest (and has not agreed to accept instructions from any other Person in respect of such Pledged Equity Interest and will not accept or execute any instructions to transfer ownership of such Pledged Equity Interest unless consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent) and (D) to agree with such Pledgor and the Administrative Agent that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Securities Issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such Pledged Equity Interest originated by the Administrative Agent without further consent of such Pledgor, such acknowledgement and agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
               (c) Each Pledgor which is the Securities Issuer of any Pledged Equity Interests in which any other Pledgor has any right, title, or interest, hereby (i) acknowledges the security interest of the Administrative Agent in such Pledged Equity Interests granted by such other Pledgor hereunder, (ii) confirms that it has marked its register for such Pledged Equity Interests or other applicable company records to reflect such security interest of the Administrative Agent, (iii) confirms that it has not received notice of any other Lien in such Pledged Equity Interests (and has not agreed to accept instructions from any other person in respect of such Pledged Equity Interests and will not accept or execute any instructions to transfer ownership of such Pledged Equity Interest, unless consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent), (iv) agrees that it will comply with the instructions with respect to such Pledged Equity Interests originated by the Administrative Agent without further consent of such other Pledgor and (v) unless the Partnership Agreement or LLC Agreement, as the case may be, of any such Pledgor already so provides on the date such Pledgor becomes a party to this Agreement, agrees to promptly prepare, execute and deliver to each of its partners or members, as the case may be, any amendment or supplement to such Partnership Agreement or LLC Agreement, as the case may be, as may be necessary to expressly provide that the Equity Interests of such Pledgor are not “securities” governed by Article 8 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code (and each Pledgor which is a partner or member of such Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver such amendment).
               (d) Each Pledgor will, from time to time upon the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent such powers, instruments, and similar documents, satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent, with respect to the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and will, from time to time upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence of any Event of Default, promptly transfer any Pledged Equity Interests or other Equity Interests constituting Collateral into the name of any nominee designated by the Administrative Agent.

          4.4 [Intentionally Deleted.]

EXH. J-9


 

          4.5 As to LLC Agreements and Partnership Agreements. (a) Each Pledgor of a Pledged Membership Interest and/or Pledged Partnership Interests shall at its own expense:
          (i) perform and observe all the terms and provisions of each LLC Agreement and/or Partnership Agreement, as the case may be, to which it is a party and each other contract and agreement included in all the Collateral to be performed or observed by it, maintain such LLC Agreement and/or Partnership Agreement, as the case may be, and each such other contract and agreement in full force and effect, enforce such LLC Agreement and/or Partnership Agreement, as the case may be, and each such other contract and agreement in accordance with its terms, and take all such action to such end as may from time to time be reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent; and
          (ii) furnish to the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt thereof copies of all material notices, requests and other documents received by such Pledgor under or pursuant to such LLC Agreement and/or Partnership Agreement, as the case may be, and any other contract or agreement included in the Collateral to which it is a party, and from time to time (A) furnish to the Administrative Agent such information and reports regarding the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and (B) upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, make to any other party to such LLC Agreement and/or Partnership Agreement, as the case may be, or any such other contract or agreement such demands and requests for information and reports or for action as such Pledgor is entitled to make thereunder.
                    (b) No Pledgor of a Pledged Membership Interest and/or Pledged Partnership Interest, as the case may be, shall, except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement:
          (i) cancel or terminate any LLC Agreement, Partnership Agreement or any other contract or agreement included in the Collateral to which it is a party or consent to or accept any cancellation or termination thereof;
          (ii) amend or otherwise modify any such LLC Agreement, Partnership Agreement or any such contract or agreement or give any consent, waiver, or approval thereunder, unless, in each case, any such amendment is not adverse in any material respect to the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties;
          (iii) waive any material default under or material breach of any such LLC Agreement, Partnership Agreement or any such other contract or agreement; or
          (iv) take any other action in connection with any such LLC Agreement or any such other contract or agreement that would impair the value of the interest or rights of such Pledgor thereunder or that would impair the interest or rights of the Administrative Agent.
          4.6 As to Pledged Notes. Each Pledgor will not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent:
                    (a) enter into any agreement amending, supplementing, or waiving any provision of any Pledged Note (including any underlying instrument pursuant to which such Pledged Note is issued) or compromising or releasing or extending the time for payment of any obligation of the maker thereof; or

EXH. J-10


 

               (b) take or omit to take any action the taking or the omission of which could result in any impairment or alteration of any obligation of the maker of any Pledged Note or other instrument constituting Collateral.
ARTICLE V
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
          5.1 Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and in addition to the powers and rights granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article V of the Security Agreement), each Pledgor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without notice to or assent by such Pledgor, to do any or all of the following upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:
               (a) in the name of such Pledgor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under or in respect of any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under or in respect of any Collateral whenever payable; and
               (b) (i) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (ii) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and give receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (iii) receive, collect, sign and endorse any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with any of the Collateral; (iv) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (v) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (vi) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (vii) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Pledgor might do.
     Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
          5.2 Administrative Agent Has No Duty. (a) In addition to, and not in limitation of, Section 2.7, the powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be

EXH. J-11


 

liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any 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 Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof (including the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
               (b) Each Pledgor assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use, sale or other disposition of the Collateral. The Secured Obligations shall not be affected by any failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect the pledge and security interest granted hereunder or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss or damage to the Collateral release any Pledgor from any of its Secured Obligations.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
          6.1 Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
               (a) The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the U.C.C. and also may, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by applicable Law referred to below) to or upon any Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing) in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by applicable Law, at least 10 days’ prior notice to such Pledgor 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 Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative 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.
               (b) The Administrative Agent may:
     (i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the lien and security interest hereunder;
     (ii) notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due or to become due thereunder;
     (iii) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto;

EXH. J-12


 

     (iv) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in each Pledgor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral;
     (v) take control of any proceeds of the Collateral;
     (vi) execute (in the name, place and stead of each Pledgor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral; and
     (vii) enforce compliance with, and take any and all actions with respect to, a LLC Agreement or Partnership Agreement, as the case may be, to the full extent as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Pledged Membership Interests, Pledged Partnership Interests and other Collateral, including the right to receive all distributions and other payments that are made pursuant to such LLC Agreement or Partnership Agreement, as the case may be.
               (c) In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Collateral may be effected after an Event of Default, each Pledgor agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of the Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who are qualified and will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In doing so, the Administrative Agent may solicit offers to buy the Collateral, or any part of it, from a limited number of investors deemed by the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable judgment, to be financially responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral. If the Administrative Agent solicits such offers from not less than two (2) such investors, then acceptance by the Administrative Agent of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable disposing of such Collateral; provided, however, that this sub-section does not impose a requirement that the Administrative Agent solicit offers from two (2) or more investors in order for the sale to be commercially reasonable.
     The Administrative Agent shall give the Pledgors ten (10) days’ written notice (which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-612 of the U.C.C.) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or time within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchase or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent (for the Secured Parties) may bid for or purchase, free (to the

EXH. J-13


 

extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Pledgor as a credit against the purchase price, and the Administrative Agent (for such Secured Party) may upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Pledgor therefor.
          6.2 [Intentionally Deleted.]
          6.3 Compliance with Restrictions. Each Pledgor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and each Pledgor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Administrative Agent be liable nor accountable to any Pledgor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
          6.4 Application of Proceeds. All cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Security Agreement and Section 6.5 below) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations (other than unliquidated obligations that have not yet arisen) and the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 2.9(b) hereof, shall be paid over to the applicable Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
          6.5 Indemnity and Expenses. Each Pledgor agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each other Secured Party, their respective affiliates, and each of their directors, officers and employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel) whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or such other Secured Party or any affiliate is a party thereto), which any of them may pay or incur arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), except to the extent that (x) they are determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Indemnified Party or (y) they result from a claim brought by any Loan Party against the applicable Indemnified Party for a material breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s express obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pursuant to a claim made by the Pledgor, if such Loan Party has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Pledgor will, upon demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses,

EXH. J-14


 

including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any experts and agents, which the Administrative Agent may incur in connection with the following:
               (a) the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
               (b) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral;
               (c) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or of any Secured Party; or
               (d) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
     The agreements in this Section 6.5 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the other obligations (other than unliquidated obligations that have not yet arisen).
          6.6 Waivers. Each Pledgor hereby waives any right, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement, to receive prior notice of or a judicial or other hearing with respect to any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by the Administrative Agent to take possession, exercise control over or dispose of any item of Collateral where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by applicable Laws or the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder. Each Pledgor waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, any bonds, security or sureties required by the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral. Each Pledgor also waives any damages (direct, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the valid enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including the taking of possession of any Collateral, all to the extent that such waiver is permitted by applicable Laws but excluding damages caused by the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated by the parties and each Pledgor acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice and has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder.
          6.7 Voting Rights; Dividends, etc. Each Pledgor agrees:
               (a) after any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, promptly upon receipt thereof by such Pledgor and without any request therefor by the Administrative Agent, to deliver (properly endorsed where required hereby or requested by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent all Dividends, Distributions, interest, principal, other cash payments, and proceeds of the Collateral, all of which shall be held by the Administrative Agent as additional Collateral for use in accordance with Section 6.4; and
               (b) after any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent has notified such Pledgor of the Administrative Agent’s intention to exercise its voting power under this clause:

Exhibit A

Pledge Agreement
SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS TO INTERCOMPANY NOTE
     [Each Intercompany Promissory Note in which the maker is the Borrower shall have the following subordination provisions attached as Annex A thereto.]
     1.1 Subordination of Liabilities. _______________ (the “Company”), for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each holder of the Intercompany Promissory Note to which this Annex A is attached (the “Note”) by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of, interest on, and all other amounts owing in respect of, the Note (the “Subordinated Indebtedness”) is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in Section 1.7 of this Annex A). The provisions of this Annex A shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and such holders are hereby made obligees hereunder the same as if their names were written herein as such, and they and/or each of them may proceed to enforce such provisions.
     1.2 Company Not to Make Payments with Respect to Subordinated Indebtedness in Certain Circumstances.
          (b) Upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness (including interest thereon or fees or any other amounts owing in respect thereof), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, all Secured Obligations (as defined in Section 1.7 of this Annex A) owing in respect thereof, in each case to the extent due and owing, shall first be paid in full in cash before any payment (whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise) is made on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness.
          (c) If any Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement (as defined in Section 1.7 of this Annex A) is in existence the Company may not, directly or indirectly, make any payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness and may not acquire any Subordinated Indebtedness for cash or property until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash. Each holder of the Note hereby agrees that, so long as any such Default or Event of Default in respect of any issue of Senior Indebtedness exists, it will not sue for, or otherwise take any action to enforce the Company’s obligations to pay, amounts owing in respect of the Note.
          (d) In the event that notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section, the Company shall make any payment on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness at a time when payment is not permitted by said clauses (a) or (b), such payment shall be held by the holder of the Note, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid promptly over and delivered to, the Administrative Agent (as defined in Section 1.7 of this Annex A) for application to the payment in full in cash of all the Senior Indebtedness.
     1.3 Subordination to Prior Payment of all Senior Indebtedness on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of Company. Upon any distribution of assets of the Company upon dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership proceedings, upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):

EXH. J-25


 

          (a) holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, post-petition interest at the rate provided in the documentation with respect to the Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such post-petition interest is an allowed claim against the Company in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding) before the holder of the Note is entitled to receive any payment of any kind or character on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness;
          (b) any payment or distributions of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities to which the holder of the Note would be entitled except for the provisions of this Annex A, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or Administrative Agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or other trustee or Administrative Agent, directly to the Administrative Agent for application to the payment in full in cash of all the Senior Indebtedness; and
          (c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the holder of the Note on account of Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for application to the payment in full in cash of all the Senior Indebtedness.
     1.4 Subrogation. Subject to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness, the holder of the Note shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Note shall be paid in full, and for the purpose of such subrogation no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of the holder of the Note by virtue of this Annex A which otherwise would have been made to the holder of the Note shall, as between the Company, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness) and the holder of the Note, be deemed to be payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Annex A are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holder of the Note, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.
     1.5 Obligation of the Company Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Annex A or in the Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company and the holder of the Note, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holder of the Note the principal of and interest on the Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.
     1.6 Subordination Rights not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of Company or Holders of Senior Indebtedness. No right of the Administrative Agent or any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act in good faith by the Administrative Agent or any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms and provisions of the Note, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Administrative Agent or such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. The Administrative Agent and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness may, without in any way affecting the obligations of the holder of the Note with respect hereto, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place or terms of payment of, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, increase the amount of Senior Indebtedness by extending additional credit to the Company) or amend, modify or supplement any agreement or

EXH. J-26


 

instrument governing or evidencing such Senior Indebtedness or any other document referred to therein, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness, including, without limitation, the waiver of any Default or Event of Default or the release of any Collateral (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement referred to in Section 1.7 of this Annex A) securing such Senior Indebtedness, all without notice to or assent from the holder of the Note.
     1.7 Senior Indebtedness. The term “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean all Secured Obligations of the Company under, or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 9, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the various financial institutions party thereto from time to time and U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent, and any other Loan Document (as therein defined) to which the Company is a party, and in each case any renewal, extension, restatement, refinancing or refunding thereof. As used herein, the term “Secured Obligation” shall mean any principal, interest, premium, penalties, fees, expenses, indemnities and other liabilities and obligations payable under the documentation governing any Senior Indebtedness (including interest after the commencement of any Debtor Relief Laws, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim against the debtor in any such proceeding). All other capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings provided for in the Credit Agreement.

     (ii) without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations, and the

EXH. K-23


 

termination of all Commitments, shall be paid over to the Grantors or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
          (c) The Administrative Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies of each Grantor under or in connection with the Collateral, including the right to sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and take or omit to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of any Grantor for the Secured Obligations or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the Material Contracts or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, any Collateral.
The Administrative Agent shall give the Grantors ten (10) days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-612 of the U.C.C.) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or time within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchase or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. The Secured Obligations shall not be affected by any failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect the security interest granted hereunder or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss or damage to the Collateral release any Grantor from any of its Secured Obligations.
     6.2 Indemnity and Expenses.

Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Secured Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Secured Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall (i) extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party and (ii) continue until the Termination Date. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that this

EXH. L-2


 

Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment, and is not a guaranty of collection.
     2.2 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Agreement are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Secured Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Agreement shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire by reason of:
          (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document;
          (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Secured Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;
          (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
          (d) (i) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or (ii) any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Secured Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
          (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligation;
          (f) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which any Guarantor may have at any time against any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction;
          (g) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party for any reason of the whole or any provision of any Loan Document, or any provision of applicable Law purporting to prohibit the payment or performance by the Borrower of the Guaranteed Obligations;

EXH. L-3


 

          (h) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);
          (i) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or
          (j) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.
This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
     2.3 Waivers and Acknowledgments.
          (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.
          (b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Agreement and acknowledges that this Agreement is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future for so long as such Guaranteed Obligations (other than unliquidated obligations that have not yet arisen) are outstanding.
          (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral; (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder; and (iii) any defense such Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right such Guarantor has to be exonerated (whether provided by Sections 2799, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2825, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849 or 2850 of the California Civil Code or otherwise), arising by reason of: (1) the impairment or suspension of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ rights or remedies against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) the alteration by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties of the Guaranteed Obligations; (3) any discharge of the other Guarantors’ obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties by operation of law as a result of the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ intervention or omission; or (4) the acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations.

EXH. L-4


 

          (d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Agreement, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable Law.
          (e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.
          (f) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 2.2 and this Section 2.3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
          (g) Each Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, pursuant to California Civil Code Section 2856, all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations;
          (h) Each Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefits of Section 2815 of the California Civil Code (or any similar law in any other jurisdiction) purporting to allow a guarantor to revoke a continuing guaranty with respect to any transactions occurring after the date of the guaranty;
          (i) Each Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, its right, under Sections 2845 or 2850 of the California Civil Code, or otherwise, to require the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties has or may have against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any third party, or against any collateral provided by any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any third party; and each Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of such other guarantors in respect thereof; and
          (j) Each Guarantor, pursuant to California Civil Code Section 2856(c), waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things:
          (i) The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may collect from such Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by a Loan Party.
          (ii) If the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party forecloses on any real property Collateral pledged by a Loan Party:

          (A) The amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Collateral is worth more than the sale price.
          (B) The Administrative Agent or other Secured Parties may collect from the Guarantor even if the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Parties, by foreclosing on the real property Collateral, have destroyed any right the Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower or other Loan Parties.
This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon California Civil Code Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, KNOWINGLY, UNCONDITIONALLY, AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY AND ALL BENEFITS OR DEFENSES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY UNDER ANY ONE OR MORE OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 2799, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2825, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, AND 2850, AND CALIFORNIA UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECTIONS 3116, 3118, 3119, 3419, 3605.
In accordance with Section 5.12 below, this Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the state of New York. The portions of this section referencing California law and other referenced provisions of California law are included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty or to any of the Secured Obligations.
     2.4 Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution (pursuant to Section 2.6) or indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until the Termination Date. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall promptly be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any reasonably necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Agreement thereafter arising. If the Termination Date shall have occurred, the Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an

interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement.
     2.5 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc.
          (a) Any and all payments made by any Guarantor under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes except as required by Law. Subject to Section 3.5(d) of the Credit Agreement, if any Guarantor shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (i) the sum payable by such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.5), each of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Guarantor shall make all such deductions, (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the taxing Governmental Authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law and (iv) such Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Secured Party) the original or a certified copy of a receipt, or other evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, evidencing payment thereof as soon as practicable after such payment is made.
          (b) In addition, each Guarantor agrees to pay any present or future Other Taxes that arise from any payment made by or on behalf of such Guarantor under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
          (c) Each Guarantor agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent and such other Secured Party, (ii) amounts payable under this Section 2.5 and (iii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this subsection (c) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the relevant Secured Party or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.
     2.6 Contribution With Respect to Guaranteed Obligations.
     (a) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors (as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment), then, following payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unliquidated obligations that have not yet arisen), and the termination of all Commitments and Facility LCs (or the cash-collateralization of such Facility LCs on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), the termination or expiration of any other Secured Obligations (other than unliquidated obligations that have not yet arisen) and the termination of the Credit Agreement and all Swap Contracts and all contracts for Cash Management Services with one or more Secured Parties or

EXH. L-7


 

their Affiliates, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.
     (b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.
     (c) This Section 2.6 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 2.6 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty.
     (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.
     (e) The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 2.6 shall be exercisable upon the full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash (other than unliquidated obligations that have not yet arisen) and the termination or expiry (or in the case of all Facility LCs, full collateralization), on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, of the Commitments and all Facility LCs issued under the Credit Agreement and the termination of the Credit Agreement and all Swap Contracts and all contracts for Cash Management Services with one or more Secured Parties or their Affiliates.

     9. The execution and delivery by the Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which it is a party do not, and the performance of its obligations thereunder will not (a) result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Guarantor Articles of Organization or the Guarantor Operating Agreement or (b) result in a breach or violation of any federal, New York or California state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Guarantor.
     10. Each of the Security Documents creates in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of and for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties (as such terms are defined therein)), with respect to each of the Loan Parties, a security interest in the rights of such Loan Party in the Collateral as defined in each such Security Document in which a security interest may be created under the NYUCC (the “Collateral”).
     11. The security interests described in paragraph 10 will be perfected in such of the “Pledged Equity Interests” (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) that are certificated securities in registered form upon the Administrative Agent acquiring possession in the State of New York of each related security certificate, indorsed to the Administrative Agent or in blank by an effective indorsement, or registered in the name of the Administrative Agent, upon original issue or registration of transfer by the issuer. Assuming that the Administrative Agent acquires such certificated security for value and without notice of any adverse claim to such certificated security, the Administrative Agent will acquire its security interest in such certificated security free of any adverse claim.
     12. The security interests described in paragraph 10 will be perfected in such of the “Pledged Notes” (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) that are instruments upon the Administrative Agent acquiring possession in the State of New York of each such instrument. Assuming that the Administrative Agent acquires such instrument in good faith and without

EXH. M-1-4


 

notice that such security interest violates the rights of any other secured party in any of such instruments, the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such instruments will be prior to any security interest in any of such instruments that is created by the Borrower in favor of any other secured party under the NYUCC.
     13. The security interests described in paragraph 10 granted by the Borrower are perfected under the DUCC in such of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Documents to which the Borrower is a party) described in the Borrower Financing Statement in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the Delaware Secretary of State under the DUCC.
     14. The security interests described in paragraph 10 granted by the Guarantor are perfected under the CUCC in such of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Documents to which the Guarantor is a party) described in the Guarantor Financing Statement in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the California Secretary of State under the CUCC.
     15. No Loan Party is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Certain Assumptions:
     With your permission, we have assumed the following: (i) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures, and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the due execution and delivery by the indicated officers of any documents submitted to us an unexecuted; (ii) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed; (iii) except as specifically covered in the opinions set forth above with respect to the Loan Parties, the due organization, valid existence and good standing of each of the respective parties to the Loan Documents; (iv) except as specifically covered in the opinions set forth above with respect to the Loan Parties, the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by each of the respective parties thereto; (v) except as specifically covered in the opinions set forth above with respect to the Loan Parties, the legality, validity, or binding effect of the Loan Documents with respect to and the enforceability of the Loan Documents against each of the respective parties thereto; (vi) the compliance by the respective parties to the Loan Documents, other than the Loan Parties, with any applicable requirements to file returns and pay taxes under Delaware, California, or New York law; (vii) the absence of any evidence extrinsic to the provisions of the written agreements among the parties that the parties intended a meaning contrary to that expressed by those provisions; (viii) there has not been any mutual mistake of fact, fraud, duress or undue influence; (ix) each party to the transaction, other than the Loan Parties, has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make the Loan Documents enforceable against it; (x) each party to the Loan Documents, other than the Loan Parties, has complied with all legal requirements pertaining to its status as such status relates to its rights to enforce the Loan Documents against the Loan Parties; (xi) the Lenders have acted in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner and without notice of any defense against the enforcement of any rights created by, or adverse claim to any property or security interest transferred or created as part of, the Loan Documents;

EXH. M-1-5


 

(xii) all parties to the Loan Documents will act in accordance with, and will refrain from taking any action that is forbidden by, the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents; (xiii) each Loan Party holds the requisite title and rights to any property involved in the Loan Documents, and (xiv) each party to the Guarantor Operating Agreement has complied with or satisfied all of the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Guarantor Operating Agreement with respect to admission of members and the issuance of membership interests.
Certain Limitations and Qualifications:
     The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving (i) the federal laws of the United States, (ii) the laws of the State of New York, (iii) with respect to only the opinions set forth in paragraphs 1, 3, 5, and 8, the Delaware General Corporation Law and (iv) with respect to only the opinions set forth in paragraphs 2, 4, 6, and 9 the California Limited Liability Company Act. The opinions in paragraphs 10, 11 and 12 are limited to Article 9 of the NYUCC, and thus those opinions cover only security interests, collateral, transactions, and perfection methods to the extent governed by Article 9 of the NYUCC. The opinion in paragraph 13 is limited to Article 9 of the DUCC, and thus that opinion covers only security interests, collateral, transactions, and perfection methods to the extent governed by Article 9 of the DUCC. The opinion in paragraph 14 is limited to Article 9 of the CUCC, and thus that opinion covers only security interests, collateral, transactions, and perfection methods to the extent governed by Article 9 of the CUCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentences, we note that the application of all or part of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code to a creditor that is a federally-regulated entity, or an affiliate of such an entity, may be preempted by federal law. E.g., Crespo v. WFS Financial Inc., 580 F. Supp. 2d 614 (N.D. Ohio 2008) (portions of UCC Article 9 could not be applied to creditor that was subsidiary of federal savings association).
     As you know, we are not admitted to practice in the State of Delaware. Accordingly, (i) the opinions set forth herein with respect to Delaware General Corporation Law are based solely on a review of the text of such law set forth in the Delaware Corporation Laws Annotated, 2010-2011 Edition, published by LexisNexis, without regard to judicial or administrative interpretations of such law, and (ii) the opinions set forth herein with respect to the DUCC are based solely on our review of the text of Article 9 of the DUCC as set forth in the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code Annotated, 2010-2011 Edition, published by LexisNexis, without regard to judicial or administrative interpretations of such law.
     We have made no inquiry into, and express no opinions as to, (a) the statutes, regulations, treaties or common laws of any other nation, state or jurisdiction or the enforceability of the Loan Documents under, or the effect on the Loans as contemplated by the Loan Documents of non-compliance with, such other laws, (b) compliance or non-compliance with applicable federal and state antifraud or securities laws, statutes, rules and regulations, (c) compliance or non-compliance with applicable federal and state usury laws, statutes, rules and regulations other than those of the States of New York or California or (d) compliance or non-compliance with the Health Care Regulations and any consents or filings required under such Health Care Regulations in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents including the grant of the security interests or exercise of remedies under the Security Documents.

EXH. M-1-6


 

     With respect to our opinion in paragraph 1 above with respect to due incorporation, we have relied exclusively on certificates of public officials and the Borrower Bylaws, and we have assumed the charter documents of the Borrower were duly executed and delivered by authorized individuals at the time of formation and in the proper statutorily prescribed form. With respect to our opinion in paragraph 2 above with respect to limited liability company due formation, we have relied exclusively on the Guarantor Article of Organization and the Guarantor Operating Agreement, and we have assumed the Guarantor Operating Agreement was duly adopted, executed and delivered by qualifying members at the time of formation.
     With respect to our opinion in paragraphs 8 and 9 above, the phrase “[will not] result in a breach or violation of any federal or New York state statute, rule or regulation applicable to [such Loan Party]” means that such execution and delivery by such Loan Party is neither prohibited by, nor subjects such Loan Party to a fine, penalty or similar sanction that would be materially adverse to such Loan Party under, any federal or New York state statute or regulation that a lawyer in New York exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize to be directly applicable to such Loan Party, the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Loan Documents.
     Furthermore, our opinion that the Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable is subject to and limited by the following exceptions and qualifications:
          (a) the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally (including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent or preferential transfers);
          (b) limitations upon indemnification and contribution rights which may be imposed by applicable law and equitable principles;
          (c) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions imposing penalties, forfeiture, late payment charges, or an increase in interest rate upon delinquency in payment or the occurrence of any event of default;
          (d) general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the effect of such principles on the possible unavailability of the remedy of specific performance of an obligation, injunctive relief, or the appointment of a receiver;
          (e) compliance with the procedural and substantive requirements of NYUCC Section 9-601, et seq., regarding creditors’ rights with respect to personal property collateral upon the occurrence of a default in satisfying a secured obligation;
          (f) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions expressly or by implication waiving broadly or vaguely stated rights, the benefits of statutory or constitutional provisions (including the statutes described above), unknown future rights,

EXH. M-1-7


 

defenses to obligations or rights granted by law, where such waivers are against public policy or prohibited by law;
          (g) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions to the effect that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy or the election of some particular right or remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more other rights or remedies;
          (h) possible limitations on the exercise of self-help or other summary procedures for the obtaining of possession of various personal property as set forth in the Loan Documents;
          (i) possible limitations on the enforceability of the use of condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds to reduce the principal amount of obligations, rather than making such proceeds available for restoration of property that is security for such obligations, to the extent that Lender is unable to show that its security has been impaired by reason of such condemnation or casualty. See, e.g., Schoolcraft v. Ross, 81 Cal.App.3d 75 (1978) (casualty insurance proceeds); Civ.Proc.Code Section 1265.225 and Milstein v. Security Pacific National Bank, 27 Cal.App.3d 482 (1972) (condemnation awards);
          (j) we express no opinion as to any provision of the Loan Documents that purport to vary Section 9-315 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code with respect to proceeds;
          (k) the application of California Civil Code Sections 2903 through 2905 which provide to certain persons the right to redeem property from liens, California Civil Code Section 2889 which provides that provisions in contracts which are in restraint of the right of redemption are void (although the inclusion of such provisions do not void the remainder of the contract); and
          (l) the restrictions established by California statutory and case law upon enforceability of any waivers contained in any Loan Document, which waivers purport to waive various statutory and other rights accorded to guarantors or sureties under California law, including without limitation certain provisions codified in California Civil Code Sections 2787 through 2855, inclusive. We also note the effect of California Civil Code Section 3268, which provides, in essence, that such statutory protections can be waived, unless such waiver would be against public policy. See, e.g., Cathay Bank v. Lee, 14 Cal.App.4th 1533 (1993); Pearl v. General Motors Acceptance Corporation, 13 Cal.App.4th 1023 (1993). However, we express no opinion on the extent, if any, to which Section 3268 would have the effect of validating or invalidating any waivers that might be contained in any Loan Document. In this regard, we further note, but express no opinion on, the effect of California Civil Code Section 2856 and the legislative history with respect thereto, which was enacted to attempt to establish more definite rules in this area.
     Any opinion as to any security interest in proceeds is subject to the provisions of Section 9-315 of the NYUCC, Section 9315 of the CUCC, and Section 9-315 of the DUCC, as applicable.

EXH. M-1-8


 

     With respect to the name of any debtor set forth in any financing statement, we have relied, with your permission and without investigation, on the certified documents described above as documents 13 and 14, and we express no opinion in paragraphs 13 and 14 to the extent that any such document does not completely and correctly state the name of the applicable debtor. The opinions set forth in paragraphs 13 and 14 are subject to the provisions of Section 9-338 of the DUCC and 9338 of the CUCC, respectively, regarding filed financing statements that contain incorrect information.
     We have no obligation to perfect or to maintain the perfection or the priority of any security interest described in this opinion letter or to advise anyone after the date hereof as to actions necessary or advisable to do so.
No Opinion:
     We have not been asked to render, and we expressly decline to provide, any opinion concerning the following matters:
     A. We express no opinion in paragraphs 10 through 14 as to: (1) any collateral to the extent that the applicable debtor does not have rights or the power to transfer rights, or any collateral that is not adequately and sufficiently described in the applicable documents, (2) any collateral that is of a type described in Section 9-501(a)(1) of the NYUCC, Section 9-501(a)(1) of the DUCC, or Section 9501(a)(1) of the CUCC, or that constitutes “transition property” or “recovery property” as referred to in Section 9109(d)(15) of the CUCC, consumer goods, or a commercial tort claim, (3) any collateral that constitutes a debt, liability, or other obligation of the secured party, (4) any consumer transaction, (5) any security interest for which value has not been given to the debtor, (6) the perfection of any security interest if the applicable financing statement does not sufficiently set forth the name of the secured party, and (7) the priority of any security interest. We express no opinion as to which jurisdiction’s law governs perfection, the effect of perfection or nonperfection, or the priority, of any security interest, or which jurisdiction’s law governs whether an adverse claim can be asserted against the Administrative Agent;
     B. The validity or enforceability under certain circumstances of any provisions which waive statutory rights to receive notice or to be allowed to cure, reinstate or redeem in the event of default;
     C. The enforceability of any provision that purports to indemnify a party for losses, costs, expenses, liabilities or similar matters resulting from such parties own negligence;
     D. Any provision of the Loan Documents that may be deemed to permit the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any other Person to sell or otherwise dispose of any personal property collateral except in compliance with the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws;
     E. Any provision of the Loan Documents that may be deemed to impose on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders standards for the care of the personal property collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent or such Lender other than as provided in Section 9-207 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws;

EXH. M-1-9


 

     F. The enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents (i) pursuant to which any party (a) waives, directly or indirectly, rights to trial by jury or access to the courts; (b) waives or limits any rights, claims or causes of action it may have against Lender or any right to offset the same against the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents, (c) waives any equitable right (including, without limitation, waiver, estoppel, laches, etc.) or (d) waives any other law, right or benefit, except to the extent the validity of such waiver has been specifically and independently established by statute, (ii) which provides that the Loan Documents are enforceable in accordance with their terms, or (iii) which characterizes the Loan Documents as jointly prepared or waives the benefit of any laws or rule of construction which would interpret ambiguities contained in the Loan Documents against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders;
     G. The enforceability of any collateral assignments to the extent any necessary third party consents to such collateral assignments have not been obtained. In addition, we express no opinion with respect to the existence or absence of any right or power of any parties to modify, terminate or waive provisions of any documents, instruments or agreements which are the subject of any such collateral assignment;
     H. The enforceability of any right of set off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right, or the effect of the exercise thereof, or the effect on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and remedies if any Lender releases any one or more parties from its or their obligations under any of the Loan Documents or elects to proceed under any of the Loan Documents against less than all obligors under the Loan Documents who are, or whose property is, liable for or pledged to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents; and
     I. Whether any income, franchise, sales, withholding, real property, personal property, business license or other tax, assessment, charge or levy will result from the transaction.
     Moreover, in giving this opinion, we advise you that a Delaware, California or New York court may not strictly enforce certain covenants contained in the Loan Documents or allow acceleration of the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced thereby if it concludes that such enforcement or acceleration would be unreasonable under the then existing circumstances. We do believe, however, that subject to the limitations expressed herein, enforcement and acceleration would be available if an Event of Default occurs as a result of a material breach of a material covenant contained in the Loan Documents.
     Insofar as our opinion as to the enforceability of any Loan Document pertains to the parties’ agreement that the law of the State of New York shall be the law governing such Loan Document, such opinion is based solely on Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law. We express no opinion as to whether such statute would violate the Constitution of the United States of America, particularly under circumstances where an agreement had no reasonable relationship to the State of New York. We express no opinion as to (i) whether a federal court of the United States of America or a state court outside the State of New York would give effect to the choice of New York law provided for in any of the Loan Documents, and (ii) whether a federal court of the United States of America would have jurisdiction over any action brought against the Loan Parties by any party not a United States natural or juridical person or an entity formed under the laws of any State of the United States.

FORM OF LEGAL OPINION OF IN-HOUSE COUNSEL
September 9, 2011
The Administrative Agent and
each Lender party to the Credit Agreement
referred to below
c/o U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Agent
1420 Fifth Avenue, 9th Floor
Seattle, Washington 98101
          Re:    Credit Agreement with Molina Healthcare, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Molina Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”) and the Secretary of Molina Information Systems, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Guarantor” and, together with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”), and I am delivering this opinion in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lenders parties thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender.

The documents listed in numbers 1-6 above are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” Finally, I and/or attorneys working under my supervision have examined such records, documents, and certificates of public officials as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of rendering the opinions set forth herein.
Opinions:
Based upon the foregoing, having regard for the legal considerations that I deem relevant, and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:
     1. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (i) constitutes a violation of or a default under any Material Contract to which the Borrower is a party, or (ii) causes the creation of any Lien under any Material Contract to which the Borrower is a party (except for Permitted Liens or as otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents). Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Guarantor of the Transaction Documents to which the Guarantor is a party (i) constitutes a violation of or a default under any Material Contract to which the Guarantor is a party, or (ii) causes the creation of any Lien under any Material Contract to which the Guarantor is a party (except for Permitted Liens or as otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents).
     2. Excluding any future pledges of Regulated Subsidiaries, no approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required on the part of the Borrower or the Guarantor for its execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (other than those that have been obtained by the Borrower and the Guarantor).
     3. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or threatened at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against the Borrower or the Guarantor or against any of their respective properties or revenues or injunctions, writs, temporary restraining orders or other orders of any nature issued by any court or Governmental Authority that (a) purport to affect or pertain to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (b) either individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Certain Assumptions
In rendering these opinions, I and/or attorneys working under my supervision have, with your permission, assumed the following: (i) the authenticity of original documents and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies; (ii) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates I have reviewed; and (iii) the absence of any evidence

extrinsic to the provisions of the written agreements among the parties that the parties intended a meaning contrary to that expressed by those provisions.
Certain Limitations and Qualifications:
A. I note that my opinions are based upon current statutes, rules, regulations, cases and official interpretive opinions, and cover certain items that are not directly or definitely addressed by such authorities.
B. This opinion is limited to the internal laws of the States of California and Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America, and I express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or as to matters of municipal law or the laws of any other local agencies within any state.
Use of Opinion:
This opinion is solely for your benefit and the benefit of your participants, successors and assigns under the Loan Documents and may not be relied upon, used, quoted, circulated or referred to, nor may copies hereof be delivered to, any other person without my prior written approval, except that copies of this opinion letter may be furnished to independent auditors and legal counsel in connection with their providing advice regarding such transaction and to appropriate regulatory authorities or pursuant to an order or legal process of any relevant governmental authority and to your permitted successors and assigns and prospective successors and assigns. I disclaim any obligation to update this opinion for events occurring or coming to my attention after the date hereof. At your request, I hereby consent to reliance hereon by your successors or assigns pursuant to the Credit Agreement, on the condition and understanding that (i) this letter speaks only as of the date hereof, (ii) I have no responsibility or obligation to update this letter, to consider its applicability or correctness to other than its addressees, or to take into account changes in law, facts or any other developments of which we may later become aware, and (iii) any such reliance by a successor or assign must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of assignment, including any changes in law, facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by the successor or assign at such time.
