ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 The Commitments; Loans. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Lenders severally agree to continue the Existing Revolving Credit Loans as Revolving Credit Loans and to continue the Existing Term Loans as Term Loans, as applicable, and to make additional Loans, in each case as set forth below.

(a) Revolving Credit Loans.

(i) On the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Revolving Credit Loans of each Lender outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date (immediately prior to giving effect thereto) shall be continued, and shall constitute and remain outstanding as Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, and Corrections hereby assumes joint and several liability with GEO therefor as provided in Section 2.21. In furtherance of the foregoing, on the Restatement Effective Date, the initial Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to and approved by the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Loans are, on (and immediately after the occurrence of) the Restatement Effective Date, held ratably by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Restatement Effective Date.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount that will result in neither (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment nor (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans.

(b) Term Loans.

(i) On the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Term Loans of each Lender outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date (immediately prior to giving effect thereto) shall be continued, and shall constitute and remain outstanding as Term Loans hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, on the Restatement Effective Date, the initial Term Lenders hereunder shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to and approved by the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Term Loans are, on (and immediately after the occurrence of) the Restatement Effective Date, held ratably by the Term Lenders in accordance with the respective Term Loan Commitments of the Term Lenders on the Restatement Effective Date. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

 

33


(c) Incremental Term Loans. In addition to Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or (b) above, respectively, at any time and from time to time, GEO may request that any one or more of the Lenders or, at the option of GEO, other financial institutions or funds selected by GEO offer to enter into commitments to make additional Incremental Term Loans to GEO, in Dollars, under this Section 2.01(c). In the event that one or more of the Lenders or such other financial institutions or funds offer, in their sole discretion, to enter into such commitments, and such Lenders or financial institutions or funds and GEO agree as to the amount of such commitments that shall be allocated to the respective Lenders or financial institutions or funds making such offers and the fees (if any) to be payable by GEO in connection therewith, such Lenders or financial institutions or funds shall become obligated to make Incremental Term Loans under this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of their respective Incremental Term Loan Commitments (and such financial institutions shall become “Incremental Lenders” hereunder). The Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to any such agreement between GEO and any such Lenders or financial institutions or funds in response to any such request by GEO shall be deemed to be a separate “Series” of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the minimum aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loan Commitments entered into pursuant to any such request (and, accordingly, the minimum aggregate principal amount of any Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall be (A) $20,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 or (B) any other amount consented to by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments established after the Restatement Effective Date plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Commitment Increases obtained after the Restatement Effective Date shall not exceed $350,000,000. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall have the interest rate, participation and other fees, commitment reduction schedule (if any), amortization and maturity date, and be subject to such conditions to effectiveness and initial credit extension, as shall be agreed upon by the respective Incremental Lenders of such Series, GEO and the Administrative Agent (which agreement by the Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the case of interest rates and participation and other fees), provided that in any event (x) the Incremental Term Loans shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the collateral security and Guarantees provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents on an equal and ratable basis with each other Loan, (y) the maturity for Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date and may be later than the Term Loan Maturity Date to the extent so agreed by GEO and such Incremental Lenders and (z) the weighted average-life-to-maturity for such Series of Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average-life-to-maturity for the Term Loans and may be longer than the weighted average-life-to-maturity for the Term Loans to the extent so agreed by GEO and such Incremental Lenders; provided, further that GEO and the applicable Incremental Lenders may modify or waive any or all of the conditions to the initial borrowing of the applicable Incremental Term Loans (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any conditions to the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments) set forth in this Agreement (other than with respect to (x) the absence of any Event of Default under any of Sections 7.01(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) or (y) the accuracy of customary “specified representations”) in any transaction where the net cash proceeds of such Incremental Term Loan will be used to fund the purchase price for a Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition permitted under this Agreement.

 

34


Following the acceptance by GEO of the offers made by any one or more Lenders to make any Series of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.01(c), each such Incremental Lender in respect of such Series of Incremental Term Loans severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make such Incremental Term Loans to GEO during the period from and including the date of such acceptance to and including the commitment termination date specified in the agreement entered into with respect to such Series in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Lender in respect of such Series as in effect from time to time. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Obligations of Lenders. Each Syndicated Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.12, each Syndicated Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or of Eurodollar Loans as GEO may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. On and as of the Restatement Effective Date, each Existing Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan and that is being continued hereunder as a Loan pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be immediately and automatically converted into an ABR Loan and shall continue as an ABR Loan until such time (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may occur on the Restatement Effective Date) as the Administrative Agent shall have received an Interest Election Request in respect of such the Loan pursuant to Section 2.07(b), from which time such Loan shall bear interest in accordance with such Interest Election Request and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 2.02, Section 2.07 and Section 2.12). Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. Each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,500,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000. Each Syndicated ABR Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000; provided that a Syndicated ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of the applicable Class or (in the case of a Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing) that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(f). Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000. Borrowings of more than one Class and Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of fifteen Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

 

35


(d) Limitations on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request (or to elect to convert to or continue as a Eurodollar Borrowing):

(i) any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date;

(ii) any Term Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date;

(iii) any Term Borrowing of either Class if the Interest Period requested therefor would commence before and end after any Principal Payment Date unless, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class having Interest Periods that end after such Principal Payment Date shall be equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class permitted to be outstanding after giving effect to the payments of principal required to be made on such Principal Payment Date; and

(iv) any Borrowing of a Series of Incremental Term Loans if the Interest Period requested therefor would commence before and end after (x) the final maturity date for such Series or (y) any date specified for the amortization of such Series unless, in the case of this clause (y), after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans of such Series having Interest Periods that end after such date shall be equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans of such Series permitted to be outstanding after giving effect to the payments of principal required to be made on such date.

Section 2.03 Requests for Syndicated Borrowings.

(a) Notices. To request a Syndicated Borrowing, GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (ii) in the case of a Syndicated ABR Borrowing, not later than noon, New York City time, on the Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of a Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(f) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by GEO.

(b) Content of Borrowing Requests. Each Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Revolving Credit Borrowing, Term Borrowing or Incremental Borrowing;

(iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

 

36


(iv) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(v) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d); and

(d) Failure to Elect. If no election as to the Type of a Syndicated Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, GEO shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Section 2.04 Swingline Loans.

(a) Agreement to Make Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $40,000,000 or (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Credit Commitments, provided that such Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) Notice of Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the applicable Swingline Lender of any such notice received from GEO. Such Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrowers by means of a credit to the general deposit account of a Borrower (as designated by GEO in writing) with such Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f), by remittance to the respective Issuing Lender) by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) Participations by Lenders in Swingline Loans. The applicable Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such

 

37


notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above in this Section 2.04(c), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of such Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.04(c) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall notify GEO of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.04(c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to a Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the Borrowers (or other party on behalf of the Borrowers) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.04(c) and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear, provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Section 2.01, GEO may request any Issuing Lender to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers in such form as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender in its reasonable determination, which Letters of Credit may be denominated in Dollars or in any Agreed Foreign Currency. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), GEO shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the respective Issuing Lender) to an Issuing

 

38


Lender selected by it and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.05(d)), the amount and Currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. Such notice shall be given to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be denominated in Dollars, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed issuance, amendment, renewal or extension and (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be denominated in a Foreign Currency, not later than 4:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days (or four Business Days if longer notice is determined by the Administrative Agent to be required) before the date of the proposed issuance, amendment, renewal or extension. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each Lender of the issuance of any Letter of Credit and upon request by any Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s participation therein.

If requested by the respective Issuing Lender, the Borrowers shall also submit a Letter of Credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of Letter of Credit application or other agreement submitted by any Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower with, an Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(c) Limitations. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended (including pursuant to Section 2.05(l)) only if after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $125,000,000 and (B) the total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant as to the same).

(d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date; provided, that such date may be later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date if and so long as such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized no later than such fifth prior Business Day in accordance with Section 2.05(k).

(e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Issuing Lender, and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Lender or the Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and

 

39


unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the respective Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of each LC Disbursement made by an Issuing Lender promptly upon the request of such Issuing Lender at any time from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrowers or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.05(f), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that any Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that any Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time, provided that, if the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent thereof.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented

 

40


under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement in such draft or other document being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05(g), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the respective Issuing Lender or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder) or any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination, and that:

(i) any Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(ii) any Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to decline to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(iii) this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by each Issuing Lender when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

(h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and GEO in writing of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement

 

41


thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Credit ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.05(f), then Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.05(i) shall be for account of such Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(f) to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall be for account of such Revolving Credit Lender to the extent of such payment.

(j) Replacement of an Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement between GEO, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous Issuing Lender, or such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(k) Cash Collateralization. If either (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that GEO receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders of the Revolving Credit Loans (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral, (ii) the Borrowers shall be required to provide cover for LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.10(c), or (iii) GEO shall elect to extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.05(d), the Borrowers shall immediately deposit into a cash collateral account established at a banking institution selected by the Administrative Agent (the “Collateral Account”), which account may be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York), in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to, 105%, in the case of clause (i) of this sentence, or 103%, in the case of clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this sentence, of the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, in the case of cover pursuant to Section 2.10(c), the amount required under Section 2.10(c), provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become

 

42


immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to either Borrower described in Sections 7.01(h) or (i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Collateral Account. Moneys in the Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of all Lenders with LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii) or (iii) pursuant to Section 2.05(d), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to GEO within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived (in the case of clause (i) of this sentence), as provided in said Section 2.10(c)(ii) (in the case of clause (ii) of this sentence) or after the termination of the applicable Letter of Credit (in the case of clause (iii) of this sentence).

(l) Letters of Credit Under the Existing Credit Agreement. To the extent that, pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement, BNP Paribas or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as an “Issuing Lender” thereunder, has issued Existing Letters of Credit then, on the Restatement Effective Date, subject to (i) the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 and (ii) the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(c), each of such Existing Letters of Credit shall automatically, and without any action on the part of any Person, become Letters of Credit hereunder issued by such respective Issuing Lender hereunder.

Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to GEO (in the case of Term Loans) or the Borrowers (in the case of Revolving Credit Loans) by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of GEO (in the case of Term Loans) or any Borrower (in the case of Revolving Credit Loans) maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by GEO in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Revolving Credit ABR Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the respective Issuing Lender.

 

43


(b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.06(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to GEO (in the case of any Term Borrowing) or the Borrowers (in the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing), a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and GEO (in the case of any Term Borrowing) or the Borrowers (in the case of any Term Borrowing) severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to GEO or any Borrower, as applicable, to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to GEO (in the case of any such interest in respect of a Term Borrowing) or the Borrowers (in the case of any such interest in respect of a Revolving Credit Borrowing) the amount of such interest paid by GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall be without prejudice to any claim GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.07 Interest Elections.

(a) Elections by GEO for Syndicated Borrowings. The Loans comprising each Syndicated Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, GEO may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section. GEO may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if GEO were requesting a Syndicated Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by GEO.

 

44


(c) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d).

(d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If GEO fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Eurodollar Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, GEO shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so notifies GEO, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Syndicated Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall automatically be converted to a Syndicated ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Loan Commitments of each Class shall be automatically reduced to zero and terminated immediately upon the earlier to occur of (x) the continuation of the Existing Term Loans as Term Loans hereunder on the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.01 and (y) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Restatement Effective Date, (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date and (iii) the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall terminate on the close of business on the commitment termination date specified in the agreement establishing such Series pursuant to Section 2.01(c).

 

45


(b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. GEO may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class pursuant to this Section shall be in an amount that is $3,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) GEO shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the total Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments.

(c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under Section 2.08(b) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by GEO pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Term Loan Commitments, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by GEO may state that such notice is conditioned upon the receipt of funds under other credit facilities or pursuant to an Equity Issuance, in which case such notice may be revoked by GEO (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

(e) Increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

(i) Requests for Increase. GEO may, from time to time at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, propose that the Revolving Credit Commitments be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”) by notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying each existing Lender (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or each additional lender (each an “Assuming Lender”) that shall have agreed (in its sole discretion) to increase or to assume a Revolving Credit Commitment and the date on which such increase or assumption is to be effective (the “Commitment Increase Date”), which shall be a Business Day at least three Business Days after delivery of such notice and at least 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date; provided that:

(A) the minimum amount of any such increase shall be (1) $20,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 or (2) any other amount consented to by the Administrative Agent, and the minimum amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Assuming Lender, and the minimum amount of the increase of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Increasing Lender, as part of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

 

46


(B) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments established after the Restatement Effective Date plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Commitment Increases obtained after the Restatement Effective Date shall not exceed $350,000,000;

(C) GEO shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of GEO stating on such Commitment Increase Date that (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); and

(D) each Assuming Lender shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Swingline Lender in the reasonable exercise of their discretion.

(ii) Effectiveness of Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. Each Assuming Lender, if any, shall become a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder as of such Commitment Increase Date and the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Increasing Lender and such Assuming Lender shall be increased as of such Commitment Increase Date; provided that:

(A) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier date specified by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of GEO stating that each of the applicable conditions to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase set forth in Section 2.08(e)(i)(C) have been satisfied;

(B) each Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time on such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier date specified by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to GEO and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such Lender shall, effective as of such Commitment Increase Date, undertake a Revolving Credit Commitment or an increase of Revolving Credit Commitment duly executed by such Assuming Lender and each Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; and

(C) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier date specified by the Administrative Agent) such proof of corporate action, opinions of counsel and other documents as is consistent with those delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.01 and reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, any Assuming Lender and/or any Increasing Lender in connection with such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

Upon its receipt of an agreement referred to in clause (ii)(B) above executed by an Assuming Lender or any Increasing Lender, together with the certificate referred to in clause (ii)(A) above and the satisfaction of the conditions referred to in clause (ii)(C) above, the Administrative Agent shall, if such agreement has been completed, (x) accept such agreement, (y) record the information contained therein in the Register and (z) give prompt notice thereof to GEO.

(iv) Adjustments of Borrowings. On the Commitment Increase Date, the Borrowers shall (A) prepay in full the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (if any) made to them, (B) simultaneously borrow new Revolving Credit Loans hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment and (C) pay to the Revolving Credit Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.14 as a result of any such prepayment; provided that with respect to subclauses (A) and (B) hereinabove, (x) the prepayment to, and borrowing from, any existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Lender and (y) the existing Lenders, the Increasing Lenders and the Assuming Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Borrowings are held ratably by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders (after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase). Concurrently therewith, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have adjusted their participation interests in any outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans so that such interests are held ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments as so increased.

Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Term Loan Repayment. GEO hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Loans as follows:

(i) to the Administrative Agent for account of the Term Lenders (x) 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans on each Principal Payment Date and (y) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on the Term Loan Maturity Date; and

(ii) to the Administrative Agent for account of the Incremental Lenders of any Series, the principal of the Incremental Term Loans of such Series on the dates and in the amounts specified in the agreement establishing such Series pursuant to Section 2.01(c).

 

48


(b) Revolving Credit Loans Repayment. The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay the Loans as follows:

(i) to the Administrative Agent for account of the Revolving Credit Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date; and

(ii) to each Swingline Lender or, to the extent required by Section 2.04(c), to the Administrative Agent for account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Credit Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(c) Adjustment of Amortization Schedule. Any prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section 2.09 (i) in the case of any optional prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a), as directed by GEO and (ii) in the case of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant in Section 2.10(b), in direct order of maturity.

(d) Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder, and subject (in the case of a prepayment) to any applicable provisions of Section 2.10, GEO shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment; provided that each repayment of Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class. If GEO fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the applicable Class and, second, to other Borrowings of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Syndicated Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.

(e) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(f) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(g) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to Sections 2.09(e) or (f) shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and

 

49


amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(h) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, GEO (in the case of any Term Loan Note) or the Borrowers (in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan Note) shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns).

Section 2.10 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section. In the event that all or any portion of the Term Loans are repaid, prepaid, replaced, repriced or effectively refinanced through (i) any waiver, consent or amendment the result of which would be the lowering of the effective interest cost or the weighted average yield of any of the Term Loans or (ii) the incurrence of Indebtedness having an effective interest cost or weighted average yield (taking into account, without limitation, upfront fees, original issue discount, interest rate spreads and interest rate benchmark floors, but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders of such new or replacement loans) that is less than the effective interest cost or weighted average yield of the Term Loans (or portion thereof) so repaid, prepaid, replaced, repriced or refinanced, in each case on or prior to the date that is six months after the Restatement Effective Date, such repayment, prepayment, replacement, repricing or refinancing will be made at 101% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, will prepay the Loans, and/or the Commitments shall be subject to automatic reduction, as follows:

(i) Casualty Events. Upon the date 270 days following the receipt by GEO or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of any Casualty Event affecting any property of GEO or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or upon such earlier date as GEO or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have determined not to repair or replace the property affected by such Casualty Event), GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall prepay the Loans, and/or the Commitments shall be subject to automatic reduction, in an aggregate amount, if any, equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Casualty Event not theretofore applied or committed to be applied (and if committed to be applied, not actually applied within 450 days following the receipt of such proceeds) to the repair or replacement of such property, such prepayment and/or reduction to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b)(iii). Nothing in this clause (i) shall be deemed to limit any obligation of GEO or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any of the Security Documents to remit to a collateral or similar account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Security Documents the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation received in respect of any Casualty Event.

 

50


(ii) Sale of Assets. If (A)(x) the Net Available Proceeds of any Disposition (other than in respect of GEO Care Inc. pursuant to the GEO Care Purchase Agreement) received after the Restatement Effective Date exceed $2,500,000 and are equal to or less than $50,000,000 and (y) either (I) the Pro Forma Total Leverage Ratio, calculated as of the consummation of and after giving effect to such Disposition, exceeds 5.25:1.00 or (II) the Pro Forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, calculated as of the consummation of and after giving effect to such Disposition, exceeds 3.00:1.00, or (B) the Net Available Proceeds of any Disposition received after the Restatement Effective Date exceed $50,000,000, then, in each case, promptly upon the consummation of such Disposition (and in any event within 4 Business Days thereof), GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, will prepay the Loans, and/or the unused Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be subject to automatic reduction, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Disposition, such prepayment and/or reduction to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b)(iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall not be required to make a prepayment and the unused Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall not be subject to automatic reduction pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)(ii) with respect to the Net Available Proceeds from any Disposition, if (x) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date or during the Applicable Period (prior to the date the Net Available Proceeds are used or otherwise invested as provided in this sentence) and (y) such Net Available Proceeds are used for one or more acquisitions or otherwise reinvested in the Permitted Business of the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries within the Applicable Period (as defined below) for such Disposition (it being understood that Net Available Proceeds shall be deemed to be used in the same order in which the related Dispositions occurred); provided that any such Net Available Proceeds not so used on or before the last day of the Applicable Period for such Disposition shall be forthwith applied as provided above. For purposes hereof, “Applicable Period” means, with respect to any Disposition, the period starting on the day such Disposition is consummated and ending on the date falling 270 days thereafter, except that if GEO or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary agrees in a legally binding commitment to reinvest the Net Available Proceeds from such Disposition (pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence) in the construction and equipping of one or more Facilities on or before such 270th day, the Applicable Period for such Disposition shall be extended automatically by 18 months. Prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of any Disposition, GEO shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (for further distribution to the Lenders) a statement, certified by a Financial Officer of GEO, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the amount of the Net Available Proceeds of such Disposition (except that such statement shall not be required for any Disposition the Net Available Proceeds of which are less than or equal to $50,000,000); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such certified statement may be supplemented or modified in writing by such Financial Officer solely as to such amount of Net Available Proceeds if and to the extent (and during such time as) a corresponding supplement or modification shall be delivered by such Financial Officer pursuant to clause (II) of the final proviso to the definition of “Net Available Proceeds” set forth in Section 1.01.

 

51


(iii) Application. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02, prepayments and/or reductions of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be applied as follows:

first, ratably between the Term Loans and each Series of Incremental Term Loans (if any) in accordance with the respective sums at such time of the aggregate amount of (x) outstanding Term Loans and (y) outstanding Incremental Term Loans and unused Incremental Term Loan Commitments of each Series (if any), (A) with respect to Term Loans, to prepay the outstanding Term Loans, and (B) with respect to Incremental Term Loans of each Series, to prepay the outstanding Incremental Term Loans of such Series and reduce the aggregate amount of unused Incremental Term Loan Commitments of such Series, as specified in the agreement establishing such Series pursuant to Section 2.01(c); and

second, after the payment in full of the Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans (if any) and the termination of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments (if any), first, to prepay Swingline Loans, and second, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans, in each case with no corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Term Lender may, by notice to GEO and the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days before such prepayment or Incremental Term Loan Commitment reduction, decline all or any portion of the prepayment or Commitment reduction, as the case may be, to which it would otherwise be entitled, in which case the portion of such prepayment or Commitment reduction, as the case may be, so declined shall be retained by GEO.

(c) Mandatory Prepayments due to Changes in Exchange Rates.

(i) Determination of Amount Outstanding. On each Quarterly Date prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, on each date that GEO shall request a Revolving Credit Borrowing or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit and, in addition, promptly upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Currency Valuation Notice (as defined below), the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding face amount of any Letter of Credit that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Letter of Credit, determined as of such Quarterly Date, date of such proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing, issuance, amendment, renewal or extension or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, on such Business Day or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice otherwise received, on the first Business Day after such Currency Valuation Notice is received. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders and GEO thereof.

 

52


(ii) Prepayment and Cover. If, on the date of such determination (after giving effect to any prior or substantially concurrent deposit made by the Borrowers, at their option, to the Collateral Account) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments as then in effect (such excess, an “Excess”), the Borrowers shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent, within five Business Days following GEO’s receipt of such request:

(A) if any Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding, prepay all such Revolving Credit Loans or such portion thereof as is sufficient to eliminate the Excess, and

(B) if such prepayment is not sufficient to eliminate the Excess, provide cover for the LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.05(k) in an amount sufficient to eliminate the Excess.

(iii) Release of Cover. If, on the date of such determination, the amount of the cover provided by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii)(B) and then held by the Administrative Agent exceeds the Excess (such excess, a “Refundable Excess”) on such date (or if such Excess is less than or equal to zero), and no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, if requested by GEO, within three Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request, return to the Borrowers the amount of the Refundable Excess (or, if the Excess is less than or equal to zero, the full amount of such cover).

For purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation Notice” means a notice given by the Required Lenders of the Revolving Credit Loans or any Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent stating that such notice is a “Currency Valuation Notice” and requesting that the Administrative Agent determine the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure.

Any prepayment of Loans constituting Revolving Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be applied, first, to Swingline Loans outstanding and second, to Revolving Credit Loans outstanding.

(d) Notices, Etc. GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender) in writing of any prepayment hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid, any other information required to be in such notice pursuant to Section 2.09(b) and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Term Loan Commitments, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with

 

53


Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Syndicated Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Syndicated Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

Section 2.11 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date the relevant Commitment terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for account of each Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate applicable to interest on Revolving Credit Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Lender a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between GEO and such Issuing Lender on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

 

54


(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between GEO and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the respective Issuing Lender, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, participation fees and closing fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.12 Interest.

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) all interest, fees and other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder (other than any such amounts solely in respect of any Eurodollar Borrowing) not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate applicable to Revolving Credit ABR Loans as provided in Section 2.12(a); and

(ii) all interest, fees and other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder solely in respect of a Eurodollar Borrowing not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus (x) until the end of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Borrowing, the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.12(b), or (y) from and after the end of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Borrowing, the rate applicable to Revolving Credit ABR Loans as provided in Section 2.12(a).

(d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving Credit ABR Loan prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount

 

55


repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of GEO or for any other reason, GEO or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by GEO as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Swingline Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This Section 2.12(f) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Swingline Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.05(i), 2.11(b) or 2.12(c) or under Article VII. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 2.12(f) shall not terminate until the payment by the Borrowers of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other outstanding obligations owing by it under the Loan Documents, the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and the expiration or termination of the Commitments if at such time no demand shall have been made for payment (and no amount shall have become automatically due) under this Section 2.12(f).

(g) Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of the relevant Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

 

56


then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to GEO and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies GEO and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Syndicated Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Syndicated Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Syndicated Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, a Syndicated ABR Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Syndicated ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.13 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Lender or any Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.15 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such Issuing Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of

 

57


such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time GEO will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.13(a) or (b) and delivered to GEO shall be conclusive absent manifest error. GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies GEO of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Syndicated Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.10(c) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by GEO pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such

 

58


Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for Dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for determining such amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to GEO and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes, provided that if the Borrowers shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.15(a), the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or an Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Delivery of Tax Forms. To the extent required by law to reduce or eliminate withholding or payment of taxes, each Payee shall deliver to GEO, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, on or before the Restatement Effective Date or concurrently with the delivery of the relevant Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, two United States Internal

 

59


Revenue Service Forms W-9, Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN, as applicable (or successor forms) properly completed and certifying in each case that such Payee is entitled to a complete exemption from withholding or deduction for or on account of any United States federal income taxes and backup withholding taxes. Each such Payee further agrees to deliver to GEO, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, two Form W-9, Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms or manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to GEO, certifying that such Payee is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and backup withholding tax (unless in any such case a Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or the exemption to which such forms relate unavailable and such Payee notifies GEO and the Administrative Agent that it is not entitled to receive payments without deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes). In the case of a Payee claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, such Payee shall also deliver a certificate to the effect that such Payee is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of either of the Borrowers within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Payee under this Section 2.15 if such Payee fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.15(e), other than to the extent that such failure is due to a Change in Law occurring after the date on which such Payee became a party to this Agreement. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to GEO and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by GEO 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 GEO or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for either 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 2.15(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. (i) If any payment is made by the Borrowers to or for the account of any Payee after deduction either for or on account of any Taxes or Other Taxes, and an indemnity payment or additional amounts are paid by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.15, then, if such Payee determines, in its sole discretion, that it is entitled to a refund of such Taxes or Other Taxes, such Payee shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, apply for such refund and reimburse to GEO such amount of any refund received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred) as such Payee shall determine, in its sole discretion, to be attributable to the relevant Taxes or Other Taxes; and (ii) if the Administrative Agent or any Payee 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 Borrowers or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional

 

60


amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to GEO an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by GEO under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Payee, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that, in case of both (i) and (ii) GEO, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Payee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to GEO (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Payee in the event the Administrative Agent or such Payee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.15(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Payee to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to GEO or any other Person.

(g) Indemnity. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Borrowers), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Register and (iii) for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or any Participant of such Lender (or, in the case of a Lender that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any direct or indirect beneficial owner of such Lender) that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Documents.

Section 2.16 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Payments by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, Section 2.14 or Section 2.15, or otherwise), or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein), prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender or a Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 9.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such

 

61


payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) shall be made in Dollars.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Syndicated Borrowing of a particular Class shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.11 in respect of Commitments of a particular Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.08 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Syndicated Borrowing of any Class shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Syndicated Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans by a Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Syndicated Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans by a Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

(d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.16(d) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant.

The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

(e) Payments by the Borrowers; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from GEO prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), Section 2.05(e), Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.16(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

Section 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to

 

63


any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If (1) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (2) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (3) any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by GEO which has been approved by the Required Lenders but which requires the consent of such Lender (or such Lender and other Lenders) to become effective, or if any Term Lender does not consent to a proposed reduction of the Applicable Rate for Term Loans which has been approved by the Required Lenders of the Term Loans, then, in each case GEO may, at its sole expense (and without any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Lender to cooperate or assist in any way in locating an assignee), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) require such Lender to assign, without recourse (except as provided below in this Section 2.17(b), in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (y) in the case of any Lender that does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as aforesaid, terminate the Commitments of such Lender and pay to such Lender an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.14), all simultaneously with an amendment and restatement of this Agreement that does not result in the aggregate amount of the commitments of the Lenders to extend credit thereunder to be less than the aggregate amount of the used and unused Commitments hereunder as in effect immediately before giving effect to such amendment and restatement; provided that:

(i) if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, GEO shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.14) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, (in the case of all other amounts);

 

64


(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) in the case of any such replacement due to the replaced Lender not consenting to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as aforesaid, each replacement Lender shall consent (and by accepting such assignment shall be deemed to have consented), at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such replaced Lender shall not have consented.

In connection with any such replacement, if the replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of such Assignment and Assumption by the replacement Lender, the Administrative Agent may (and the replaced Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to, in the name of and on behalf of the replaced Lender) execute such Assignment and Assumption and other documentation on behalf of the replaced Lender and, in such event (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.04), such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have duly executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and other documentation to the Administrative Agent and the replacement Lender. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling GEO to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply on the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected or directly affected thereby;

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

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent

 

65


(x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Commitments and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment;

(ii) if the reallocation described in Section 2.18(c)(i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, GEO shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to Section 2.18(c)(i)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if GEO cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, GEO shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure, as applicable, will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by GEO in accordance with Section 2.18(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.18(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and

(e) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times

 

66


as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as GEO may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and GEO, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (ii) cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (ii) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Exposures and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Loan without giving effect to Section 2.18(c). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(e) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, GEO, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender (or if such Defaulting Lender has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.17), then (i) the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s (or replacement Lender’s) Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender (or replacement Lender) shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Credit Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender (or replacement Lender) to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage and (ii) all cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.18(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall be immediately released to the Borrowers.

Section 2.19 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the date hereof any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to

 

67


make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and GEO, and (i) the commitments of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, to continue Eurodollar Loans as such and to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended during the period of such illegality, (ii) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law and (iii) during the period of such illegality any Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be made or continued as Eurodollar Loans shall instead be made or continued, as the case may be, as ABR Loans. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, GEO or the Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.13.

Section 2.20 GEO as Borrowers’ Representative. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints GEO as its representative and agent on its behalf for purposes of all requests in respect of Loans (including Borrowing Requests and Interest Election Requests), delivering certificates, giving instructions with respect to disbursements of proceeds of Loans, selecting interest rate options, giving and receiving all other notices and consents under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (on behalf of itself and any other Borrower) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. GEO hereby irrevocably accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from GEO as a notice or communication from all Borrowers. Each representation, warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of any other Borrower by GEO shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

Section 2.21 Joint and Several Obligations.

(a) All Obligations under this Agreement that are stated under this Agreement to be Obligations of both Borrowers, including their Obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Term Loans and any Incremental Term Loans), shall be joint and several Obligations of each Borrower (such Obligations, “Joint and Several Obligations”). Anything contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder, solely with respect to the Joint and Several Obligations and to the extent that such Borrower did not receive proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans from any Borrowing hereunder, in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the Obligations of such Borrower would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this Section 2.21(a) in respect of such Obligations, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Borrower or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to any right of contribution) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

 

68


(b) Each Borrower hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Obligations (other than those described in clause (b) of the definition thereof or contingent obligations, in each case, not then due and payable) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any direct or indirect right or remedy arising as a result of such Joint and Several Obligations, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the other Borrower or any other Guarantor.

(c) Each Borrower hereby agrees that to the extent that a Borrower shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder in respect of Joint and Several Obligations, such Borrower shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the other Borrower. Each Borrower’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.21(b). The provisions of this Section 2.21(c) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of either Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and each Borrower shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders for the full amount of all Joint and Several Obligations.

(d) The Joint and Several Obligations of the Borrowers, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Joint and Several Obligations, or any substitution, release or exchange of any guarantee of or security for any of the Joint and Several Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Borrowers hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrowers, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any guarantee of any of the Joint and Several Obligations or except as permitted pursuant to Section 9.02, any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

 

69


(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, an Issuing Lender, any Lender or the Administrative Agent as security for any of the Joint and Several Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.02 or otherwise.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the other Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Joint and Several Obligations. The Borrowers waive, to the extent permitted by Law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Joint and Several Obligations. The Borrowers’ Joint and Several Obligations shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or either of them or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Joint and Several Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto.

(a) Actions, Suits and Proceedings. Other than the Disclosed Matters, there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority now pending against or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened against or affecting GEO or any of its Subsidiaries, or that involve this Agreement or the Transactions, as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Change in Disclosed Matters. Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.11 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of U.S. GAAP Codification Topic 715-30) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $5,000,000 the fair

 

72

88


in connection with any endorsement); provided, that, in such event, any Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary shall endeavor to obtain an endorsement, if available, to such previously issued mortgagee title insurance policies that insures that the title insurance coverage provided by the original mortgagee title insurance policy is not affected by the recording of any Mortgage Amendment, provided the cost for such endorsement is nominal or (y) the relevant property subject to a Mortgage does not qualify as a Material Real Property).

ARTICLE VIII

AGENCY

Section 8.01 Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints BNP Paribas to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and each Person named a Co-Syndication Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as

 

102


any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or a Co-Syndication Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving or named as the Administrative Agent or a Co-Syndication Agent hereunder in such Person’s individual capacity. Such Persons and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with GEO or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent or a Co-Syndication Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to GEO or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by GEO, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 

103


The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and GEO. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with GEO, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify GEO and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice.

If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to GEO and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with GEO, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

 

104


With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired or removed) Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above) other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between GEO and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) with respect to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents, provided that, without the prior consent of each Lender, the Administrative Agent shall not (except as provided herein or in the Security Documents) release all or substantially all of the collateral or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under any Security Document, agree to additional obligations being secured by all or substantially all of such collateral (unless the Lien for such additional obligations shall be junior to the Lien in favor of the other obligations secured by such Security Document, in which event the Administrative Agent may consent to such junior Lien provided that it obtains the consent of the Required Lenders thereto), alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the benefits of the Liens created under the Security Documents with respect to all or substantially all of such collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Loan Documents from their Guarantee obligations thereunder,

 

105


except that no such consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering property (and to release any such Guarantor) that is the subject of a disposition of property permitted hereunder, a disposition to which the Required Lenders have consented or the designation of any such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 5.09(d).

Section 8.02 Lead Arranger; Co-Syndication Agents. Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lead Arranger and the Co-Syndication Agents are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that the Lead Arranger and each Co-Syndication Agent shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, none of the Lead Arranger or any Co-Syndication Agent in their capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, any Borrower or any other Person.

Each Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of foreign or United States Federal and state securities laws (provided that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.12(b)), (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor,” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC,” unless GEO notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains MNPI: (i) the Loan Documents, (ii) notification of changes in the terms of the Commitments or the Loans and (iii) all information delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), (b) and (e).

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY COMMUNICATIONS ON OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS

 

109


RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWERS’ OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES’ OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided above) specifying that the communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall

(i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

 

110


(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding amendments to Section 2.10(b)(ii)), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

(iv) change Section 2.16(c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender,

(vi) permit any subordination of the principal or interest on any Loan or the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(f) for all LC Disbursements, without the prior written consent of each Lender,

(vii) release the Borrowers from their obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender,

(viii) permit any assignment (other than as specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement) of any of the Borrowers’ rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender,

(ix) release all or substantially all of the collateral granted in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties or release any Security Document (other than disposition of assets permitted pursuant to Section 6.03 and as otherwise specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement or the applicable Security Document) without the prior written consent of each Lender,

(x) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender, except as expressly contemplated by any of the Loan Documents, or

(xi) change Section 2.10(b)(iii) or Section 7.02 or Section 5.4 of the Collateral Agreement in a manner that would alter the application of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender,

and provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be.

 

111


(c) Amend and Extend. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any amendment or modification that extends the date required for the payment of principal of any Loan of any Class and/or the termination date for any Commitment of any Class (which amendment or modification may but shall not be required to include increasing the Applicable Rate for any Lender that agrees to such extension for its Loans and/or Commitments of such Class (a “Consenting Lender”)) shall require only the consents of (i) the Borrowers and the Guarantors, (ii) such Consenting Lender, (iii) the Required Lenders of such Class, (v) the Administrative Agent and (vi) if such Class includes Revolving Credit Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments, each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender affected thereby. No such extension shall apply to any Loan or any Commitment of any Lender that is not a Consenting Lender.

(d) Waivers of Certain Conditions. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement that has the effect (either immediately or at some later time) of enabling the Borrowers to satisfy a condition precedent to the making of a Loan of any Class shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class for purposes of the Commitments of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification, and no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Lenders of any Class in a manner that does not affect all Classes equally shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver or modification.

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one primary outside counsel, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction as reasonably required, and, in the case of an actual and potential conflict of interest among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or among any of them), one additional counsel to each group of similarly affected Lenders (taken as a whole)) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights, whether in any action, work-out, restructuring, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit and (iv) and all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein.

 

112


(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Lead Arranger, each Co-Syndication Agent, each Lender, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrowers arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) and any payments that the Administrative Agent is required to make under any indemnity issued to any bank to which remittances in respect of Accounts (as defined in the UCC), as defined in the Collateral Agreement, are to be made, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by any Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if any Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 9.03(a) or (b) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), an Issuing Lender or a Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender or such Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender or such Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender or such Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity.

 

113


(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with Section 9.04(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with Section 9.04(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.04(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, each Issuing Lender, each Swingline Lender, Participants, to the extent provided in Section 9.04(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Swingline Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) to any Person; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 

114


(B) in any case not described in Section 9.04(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such specified date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Revolving Credit Commitment, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Term Loan Commitment or an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, GEO otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations in respect of different Classes of Commitments on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund except to the extent required by Section 9.04(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of GEO (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that GEO shall be deemed to have given its consent ten days after the date a request therefor has been delivered by the Administrative Agent unless such consent is expressly refused in writing by GEO prior to such tenth day;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) a Revolving Credit Commitment, a Term Loan Commitment or an Incremental Term Loan Commitment no part of which has been utilized if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment of such Class, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (y) a Term Loan Commitment or an Incremental Term Loan Commitment which has been utilized to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(C) the consent(s) of the relevant Issuing Lender(s) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

 

115


(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(vi) No Assignment to Defaulting Lender. No such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (vi).

(vii) Limitations on Assignments to GEO and its Subsidiaries. No such assignments shall be made to GEO or any of its Affiliates, except, solely with respect to Term Loans, as otherwise provided below in this Section.

(viii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of GEO and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (viii), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, each Term Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it to GEO (but not any Subsidiary of GEO) on a non-pro rata basis (provided, however, that each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in

 

116


respect of any applicable Term Loan) pursuant to (x) one or more modified Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans (provided that, (A) notice of the Auction shall be made to all Term Lenders and (B) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures which are consistent with this Section 9.04(b) as the Auction Manager may establish and otherwise reasonably acceptable to GEO, the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent) or (y) open market purchases, in each case subject to the following additional limitations: (A) with respect to all purchases made by GEO pursuant to this Section 9.04(b), (I) GEO shall deliver to the Auction Manager, if applicable, a certificate of the President, a Vice President or a Financial Officer of GEO stating that no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such purchase, (II) GEO shall not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loans to acquire any Term Loan, (III) GEO shall disclose in writing to the assigning Lender (prior to the entering into of an Assignment and Assumption or other agreement in respect of such assignment) its identity as the purchaser of such Term Loans, and (IV) the assigning Lender and the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager, if applicable, an Assignment and Assumption; and (B) immediately upon the consummation of any purchase by GEO pursuant to this Section 9.04(b), all Term Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by GEO), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (I) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (II) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (III) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In connection with any Term Loans purchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 9.04(b), Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be (x) entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 9.03 and (y) obligated pursuant to Section 2.17(g), in each case with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 9.04(d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names

 

117


and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, 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 GEO or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided, however, that no Borrower nor the Administrative Agent shall be required to provide or grant access to any Lender any information (including without limitation as to identity or amount or percentage of credit exposure hereunder) about any other Lender.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) in all or a portion (provided that any such portion shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any participation in respect of a Revolving Credit Commitment, or $1,000,000, in the case of any participation in respect of a Term Loan Commitment or an Incremental Term Loan Commitment) of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and Swingline Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on any Loan or the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse any Borrowing, extend the term or increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Lender, reduce the amount of any fees to which such Participant is entitled, extend any scheduled payment date for principal of any Loan or, except as expressly contemplated hereby or thereby, release substantially all of the collateral granted in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any such case in a manner that would affect such Participant. Subject to Section 9.04(e), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(d) as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in

 

118


the Participant Register shall be conclusive, 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. This Section 9.04(d) shall be construed so that the Loans and other obligations hereunder are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 and Section 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with GEO’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless GEO is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Sections 2.15(e) and (g) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated. The provisions of Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Lender Addendum.

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), including the Lender Addenda, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement (including the Lender Addenda) and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative

 

119


Agent, constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto; provided, that solely with respect to the Specified Transactions, this Agreement shall become effective upon the occurrence of the Initial Effective Time.

Section 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.12 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Treatment of Certain Information. Each Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to a Borrower or one or more of their respective Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and the Borrowers hereby authorize each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by any Borrower or its respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of Section 9.12(b) as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(b) Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (vii) with the consent of GEO or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than GEO.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential

 

122


basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.13 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), such Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with said Act.

Section 9.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.14 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.15 Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from them to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on

 

123


the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrowers hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agree to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

Section 9.16 Effect of Amendment and Restatement. As of the Restatement Effective Date, this Agreement shall amend, and restate as amended, the Existing Credit Agreement, but shall not constitute a novation thereof or in any way impair or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the parties thereunder (including with respect to Loans and Commitments and representations and warranties made thereunder) except as such rights or obligations are amended or modified hereby. The Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby shall be deemed to be a continuing agreement among the parties, and all documents, instruments and agreements delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement not amended and restated in connection with the entry of the parties into this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, each in accordance with its terms, as of the date of delivery or such other date as contemplated by such document, instrument or agreement to the same extent as if the modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement contained herein were set forth in an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement in a customary form, unless such document, instrument or agreement has otherwise been terminated or has expired in accordance with or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement or such document, instrument or agreement or as otherwise agreed by the required parties hereto or thereto.

ANNEX I

Specified Transactions1

WHEREAS, under Section 9.02(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement, the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement as contemplated by this Agreement requires the written consent of each Lender;

WHEREAS, under Section 2.18(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement if any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by the Borrower (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) which has been approved by the Required Lenders but which requires the consent of such Lender (or such Lender and other Lenders) to become effective (the “Subject Transaction”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, among other things, replace such Non-Consenting Lender by causing such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate all of its interests, rights and obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (a “Mandatory Assignment”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Required Lenders wish to amend, waive or otherwise modify said Section 2.18(b) upon the occurrence of the Initial Effective Time (as defined below) to, among other things, allow (x) the Borrower to effect Mandatory Assignments without any advance notice to any affected Non-Consenting Lender or any other Person and (y) the Administrative Agent to effect any such Mandatory Assignment in the name of and on behalf of each Non-Consenting Lender, in each case immediately and automatically upon the approval of the applicable Subject Transaction by the Required Lenders;

WHEREAS, immediately after the execution of this Agreement (including by delivery of Lender Addenda in accordance with Section 9.06(b), as applicable) by the Required Lenders, each Issuing Lender, each Swingline Lender and the Borrower (such time of execution, the “Initial Effective Time”) and immediately prior to the occurrence of the Restatement Effective Date (such time between the Initial Effective Time and the Restatement Effective Date, the “Initial Assignment Time”), the Borrower wishes to cause to be assigned and delegated pursuant to Mandatory Assignments all of the interests, rights and obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the related Loan Documents of each Lender which shall not have consented to this Agreement at the Initial Effective Time (each such Lender, a “Replaced Lender”) to BNP Paribas and/or any other Lender approved and designated for such purpose by BNP Paribas (collectively, the “Assignees”), and the Assignees wish to accept and assume all such interests, rights and obligations and to consent to this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, immediately following the Mandatory Assignments at the Initial Assignment Time, the Required Lenders and the Assignees shall constitute all of the Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement and shall consent to and approve (and by having executed this Agreement (including by delivery of Lender Addenda) shall be deemed to have consented to and approved) this Agreement and the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

1  Except with respect to the terms “this Agreement” and “the Existing Credit Agreement”, all capitalized terms used in this Annex I and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Existing Credit Agreement.


NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

(1) Effective as of the Initial Effective Time and as of the date of such prepayment, any requirement of prior notice by the Borrower or by or to the Administrative Agent or any other Person in respect of the prepayment of Term Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement as contemplated by Section 4.01(m) of this Agreement is hereby deemed to have been satisfied (and any failure to comply with any such requirement prior to the Initial Effective Time is hereby waived) for all purposes of the Existing Credit Agreement.

(2) Effective as of the Initial Effective Time, Section 2.18(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and otherwise modified such that (x) the Borrower may effect Mandatory Assignments without any requirements of notice to any affected Non-Consenting Lender or any other Person and (y) the Administrative Agent may effect any such Mandatory Assignment in the name of and on behalf of the applicable Non-Consenting Lender, in each case immediately and automatically upon the approval of the applicable Subject Transaction by the Required Lenders and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement.

(3) Pursuant to Section 2.18(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement (as amended as of the Initial Effective Time) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement, immediately upon (and as of) the Initial Assignment Time, without advance notice to such Replaced Lender or any other Person or any requirement of consent of any Person, all of the interests, rights and obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the related Loan Documents of each Replaced Lender shall automatically be assigned, delegated and sold by such Replaced Lender to BNP Paribas (or such Assignee as BNP Paribas shall have designated) and BNP Paribas (or such Assignee) shall assume, accept and purchase all such interests, rights and obligations, at par (in the case of any Loans or Commitments so assumed, accepted and purchased) and otherwise on the terms set forth in the form of Assignment and Assumption prescribed by the Existing Credit Agreement (including all of the representations and warranties set forth therein, which shall be deemed to have been made at the Initial Effective Time by the Replaced Lender (as assignor thereunder) and the Assignee (as assignee thereunder), as applicable), but without any requirement of execution of an Assignment and Assumption by such Replaced Lender or the applicable Assignee or any other conditions thereto (and no assignment fee shall be payable in connection therewith).

(4) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and instructed to record all assignments (including Mandatory Assignments contemplated to occur as of the Initial Assignment Time) contemplated in this Annex I in the Register and to take such other actions as shall be necessary or desirable to facilitate the consummation of all such transactions, including, without limitation, any such actions in the name and on behalf of the Borrower, any Replaced Lender or any Lender in respect of any Reduction Amount referred to below (in each case without any representation or warranty by or recourse to the Administrative Agent); provided, that if any Replaced Lender subject to a Mandatory Assignment shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent on (but before the occurrence of) the Restatement Effective Date a written notice in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which written notice shall

 

I-2


include, or be accompanied by, a Lender Addendum to this Agreement duly executed by such Lender in accordance with Section 9.06(b)) that such Lender would not have been a Replaced Lender (and would have, and intended to, consent to this Agreement at the Initial Effective Time) but for the immediate and automatic operation of the Mandatory Assignments at the Initial Assignment Time contemplated hereinabove, then to the extent so requested in such written notice, such Lender shall be deemed to no longer be a Replaced Lender and shall be counted among the Lenders that shall have consented to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur upon each of the Initial Effective Time and the Restatement Effective Date, and the Administrative Agent, any applicable Assignee of such Mandatory Assignment and such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the foregoing provisions of this proviso are given effect as among themselves, the Administrative Agent shall ensure the Register is annotated or otherwise marked accordingly (to the extent the Mandatory Assignment was previously recorded in the Register) and such Lender shall be treated for all purposes hereof as an initial Lender party to this Agreement on and as of the Restatement Effective Date.

(5) Upon the consummation of the Mandatory Assignments at the Initial Assignment Time, the Required Lenders and the Assignees shall constitute all of the Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement and shall consent to and approve (and by having executed this Agreement (including by delivery of Lender Addenda) shall be deemed to have consented to and approved) this Agreement and the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(6) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.04 of this Agreement, immediately upon (and as of) the Restatement Effective Date, any Lender that shall have consented to and approved (including by delivery of Lender Addenda) this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and that shall have held, immediately prior to the occurrence of the Restatement Effective Date, an aggregate principal amount of Loans and/or Commitments in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Loans and/or Commitments under (and as defined in) this Agreement allocated to such Lender by the Lead Arranger (such excess, the “Reduction Amount”), without advance notice to any Person or any requirement of consent of any Person, hereby irrevocably assigns, delegates and sells all of its interests, rights and obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the related Loan Documents in respect of such Reduction Amount to BNP Paribas (or such Assignee as BNP Paribas shall have designated) and BNP Paribas (or such Assignee) hereby assumes, accepts and purchases all such interests, rights and obligations, at par (in the case of any Loans or Commitments so assumed, accepted and purchased) and otherwise on the terms set forth in the form of Assignment and Assumption prescribed by this Agreement (including all of the representations and warranties set forth therein, which shall be deemed to have been made on and as of the Restatement Effective Date by such Lender (as assignor thereunder) and the Assignee (as assignee thereunder), as applicable), but without any requirement of execution of an Assignment and Assumption by such Lender or the applicable Assignee or any other conditions thereto (and no assignment fee shall be payable in connection therewith), all of the foregoing to be effected automatically on and as of the Restatement Effective Date and with the cooperation of the Administrative Agent.

Litigation

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are currently involved in various actions, suits and/or proceedings. Except for the matters listed below, none of the actions, suits and/or proceedings in which the Borrower or its Subsidiaries are currently involved could, individually, as of the Closing Date, result in a Material Adverse Effect:

1. In June 2004, the Borrower received notice of a third-party claim for property damage incurred during 2002 and 2001 at several detention facilities that the Borrower’s Australian subsidiary formerly operated pursuant to its discontinued operation. The claim relates to property damage caused by detainees at the detention facilities. The notice was given by the Australian government’s insurance provider and did not specify the amount of damages being sought. In May 2005, the Borrower received additional correspondence indicating that the insurance provider still intends to pursue the claim against the Borrower’s Australian subsidiary. Although the claim is in the initial stages and the Borrower is still in the process of fully evaluating its merits, the Borrower believes that it has defenses to the allegations underlying the claim and intends to vigorously defend the Borrower’s rights with respect to this matter. While the insurance provider has not quantified its damage claim and the outcome of this matter discussed above cannot be predicted with certainty, based on information known to date, and management’s preliminary review of the claim, the Borrower believes that, if settled unfavorably, this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Borrower is uninsured for any damages or costs that it may incur as a result of this claim, including the expenses of defending the claim. The Borrower has accrued a reserve related to this claim based on its estimate of the most probable costs that may be incurred based on the facts and circumstances known to date, and the advice of its legal counsel.

2. On June 22, 2011, a verdict for $6.5 million was entered against The GEO Group, Inc. (“GEO”) in a wrongful death action brought by the family of a former inmate at a GEO Oklahoma state correctional facility. On August 22, 2011, the court entered judgment against GEO. GEO disagrees with the verdict and is pursuing an appeal. A supersedeas bond in the amount of $10 million has been posted by the Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania. GEO intends to vigorously defend its rights with respect to this matter. Under its insurance plan, GEO is responsible for the first $3.0 million of liability with respect to this matter. Aside from this amount which GEO would pay directly from general corporate funds, GEO believes it has insurance coverage for this matter. A tentative settlement has been reached between the parties**. The settlement documents are being drafted but have not yet been signed.

(c) any Collateral acquired after the date hereof which, to the knowledge of such Grantor, constitutes a Government Contract, (d) the acquisition or creation by such Grantor of any Deposit Account (other than any Specified Deposit Account) or Investment Property, in each case, after the date hereof, and (e) the occurrence of any material dispute, holdback, claim of set-off or other claim by the applicable Governmental Authority under any Material Government Contract or receipt by any Grantor of any notice of material suspension, debarment, cure notice, show cause notice or notice of termination for default issued by any Governmental Authority to any Grantor.

Section 4.5 Delivery Covenants. Each Grantor will pledge and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties, all Certificated Securities, Partnership/LLC Interests evidenced by a certificate, negotiable Documents, Instruments, and Tangible Chattel Paper from time to time owned or held by such Grantor, in each case, in original (i.e., not merely photocopy) form and together with an Effective Endorsement and Assignment and all Supporting Obligations, as applicable.

Section 4.6 Control Covenants.

(a) Each Grantor shall instruct, and otherwise use its reasonable efforts to cause, (i) each depositary bank (other than the Administrative Agent unless requested by the Administrative Agent) holding a Deposit Account owned by such Grantor and (ii) each Securities Intermediary holding any Investment Property or a Securities Account owned by such Grantor, to execute and deliver a control agreement, sufficient to provide the Administrative Agent with Control of such Deposit Account, Investment Property or Securities Account, as the case may be, and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (any such depositary bank executing and delivering any such control agreement, a “Controlled Depositary”, and any such Securities Intermediary executing and delivering any such control agreement, a “Controlled Intermediary”), within twenty Business Days following any request thereof by the Administrative Agent (or, solely with respect to the Specified Investment Account and the Specified BoA Accounts, within 60 days of the Restatement Effective Date); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall be required to obtain a control agreement with respect to any Specified Deposit Account. In the event any such depositary bank or Securities Intermediary refuses to execute and deliver such control agreement (or otherwise grant or provide the Administrative Agent Control over the relevant Deposit Account, Investment Property or Securities Account in a manner and pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may require the applicable Deposit Account and Investment Property to be transferred to the Administrative Agent or a Controlled Depositary or Controlled Intermediary, as applicable. Following any such request and except as set forth above, all Deposit Accounts and all Investment Property will be maintained with the Administrative Agent or a Controlled Depositary or a Controlled Intermediary, as applicable.

(b) Each Grantor will take such actions and deliver all such agreements as are requested by the Administrative Agent to provide the Administrative Agent with Control of all Letter-of-Credit Rights and Electronic Chattel Paper owned or held by such Grantor, including, without limitation, with respect to any such Electronic Chattel Paper, by having the Administrative Agent identified as the assignee of the Record(s) pertaining to the single authoritative copy thereof.

 

C-19


(c) No Grantor will change the depositary bank or account number of the Collection Account or permit any payments or proceeds of any Material Government Contracts to be directed by such Governmental Authority to an account other than the Collection Account, except upon twenty (or such lesser number as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and delivery to the Administrative Agent of (i) all additional financing statements or amendment filings (executed if necessary for any particular filing jurisdiction) and other instruments and documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the Security Interests, (ii) if applicable, a written supplement to Schedule 3.9 if any Grantor acquires ownership of a Deposit Account after the date hereof, and (iii) a control agreement, executed by such Grantor and such depositary bank and in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, granting the Administrative Agent Control of the Collection Account.

(d) If any Collateral (other than Collateral specifically subject to the provisions of Section 4.6(a) and Section 4.6(b)) exceeding in value $250,000 in the aggregate (such Collateral exceeding such amount, the “Excess Collateral”) is at any time in the possession or control of any consignee, warehouseman, bailee (other than a carrier transporting Inventory to a purchaser in the ordinary course of business), processor, or any other third party, such Grantor shall notify in writing such Person of the Security Interests created hereby, shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such Person’s agreement in writing to hold all such Collateral for the Administrative Agent’s account subject to the Administrative Agent’s instructions, and shall cause such Person to issue and deliver to the Administrative Agent warehouse receipts, bills of lading or any similar documents relating to such Collateral together with an Effective Endorsement and Assignment; provided that if such Grantor is not able to obtain such agreement and cause the delivery of such items, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may require such Excess Collateral to be moved to another location specified thereby. Further, each Grantor shall perfect and protect such Grantor’s ownership interests in all Inventory stored with a consignee against creditors of the consignee by filing and maintaining financing statements against the consignee reflecting the consignment arrangement in all appropriate filing offices, providing any written notices required to notify any prior creditors of the consignee of the consignment arrangement, and taking such other actions as may be appropriate to perfect and protect such Grantor’s interests in such Inventory under Section 2-326, Section 9-103, Section 9-324 and Section 9-505 of the UCC or otherwise. Upon the Administrative Agent’s request, all such financing statements filed pursuant to this Section 4.6(d) shall be assigned, on the face thereof, to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties.

(e) The Administrative Agent will cause to be established at a banking institution to be selected by the Administrative Agent a cash collateral account (the “Collateral Account”), that

(i) to the extent of all Investment Property or Financial Assets (other than cash) credited thereto shall be a Securities Account in respect of which the Administrative Agent shall be the Entitlement Holder,

 

C-20


(ii) to the extent of any cash credited thereto shall be a Deposit Account in respect of which the Collateral Agent shall be the depository bank’s customer, and

(iii) into which each Grantor agrees to deposit from time to time the cash proceeds of any of the Collateral (including proceeds of insurance thereon) required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, or pursuant hereto, and into which any Grantor may from time to time deposit any additional amounts that it wishes to provide as additional collateral security hereunder.

The Collateral Account, and any money or other property from time to time therein, shall constitute part of the Collateral hereunder and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided.

(f) Each Issuer hereby agrees that if at any time such Issuer issues or shall have issued any Uncertificated Securities constituting Collateral to any Grantor, such Issuer shall comply with any “instruction” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) originated by the Administrative Agent and relating to such Uncertificated Securities without further consent by such Grantor or any other Person, and each such Grantor hereby consents to the foregoing agreement by each such Issuer; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not issue any such instructions without the consent of such Grantor unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 4.7 Filing Covenants. Pursuant to Section 9-509 of the UCC and any other Applicable Law in any jurisdiction, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record (or cause to be filed or recorded) financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or protect the Security Interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; provided, that no such protective filing or recordation shall purport to terminate any financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument naming any other Person as secured party, unless such other Person shall have consented thereto. Such financing statements and other filing or recording documents may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of Collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the Security Interest in the Collateral granted herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property”. Further, a photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement (or any intellectual property “short-form” security agreement executed in connection herewith) shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Each Grantor hereby authorizes, ratifies and confirms all financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments, if any, filed by (or on behalf of) Administrative Agent in any jurisdiction on or prior to the date of this Agreement.

(d) With respect to each Material Government Contract entered into by any Grantor after the date hereof, such Grantor shall (i) promptly deliver, following the date of required notice to the Administrative Agent of such new Material Government Contract under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, an Assignment Agreement duly executed by such Grantor party to such Material Government Contract in compliance with the Assignment of Claims Act (or analogous state Applicable Law, if applicable), (ii) ensure that all payments made to such Grantor with respect to such Material Government Contract are paid directly (through the use of a lock box or otherwise) by such Governmental Authority to the Collection Account, and (iii) if the Collection Account is not then under the Control of the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent a control agreement, executed by such Grantor and the applicable depositary bank and in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, granting the Administrative Agent Control of the Collection Account.

(e) Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent may deliver (i) all Assignment Agreements and (ii) all Notices of Assignment to the applicable Governmental Authority for each Material Government Contract, and the Grantors agree to exert their best good faith efforts in having such Notices of Assignment acknowledged in writing by the appropriate Governmental Authority promptly after delivery thereof.

(b) Each Grantor will notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders promptly if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or registration relating to any material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

(c) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall report such filing to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interest in any material Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

(d) Each Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of the material Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability.

(e) In the event that any material Intellectual Property owned by a Grantor is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, the applicable Grantor shall (i) at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such Intellectual Property is of material economic value, promptly notify the Administrative Agent after it learns of such infringement, misappropriation or dilution.

Prior thereto, each certificate of title or ownership relating to each Vehicle shall be maintained by the applicable Grantor in accordance with Applicable Law to reflect the ownership interest of such Grantor.

Section 4.13 Further Assurances. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent and at the sole expense of the Grantors, each Grantor will promptly and duly execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, (i) the assignment of any Material Contract, (ii) with respect to Government Contracts, assignment agreements and notices of assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, duly executed by any Grantor party to such Government Contract in compliance with the Assignment of Claims Act (or analogous state Applicable Law), (iii) with respect to Material Government Contracts, Assignment Agreements and Notices of Assignment, in form and substance the same as that set forth on Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2, respectively, duly executed by any Grantors party to such Material Government Contract in compliance with the Assignment of Claims Act (or analogous state Applicable Law) and acknowledged in writing by the appropriate Governmental Authority, and (iv) all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other documents and papers the Administrative Agent may reasonably request or as may be required by law in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration, qualification, or authorization of any Person deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the effective exercise of any rights under this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

Section 5.1 General Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other Applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand for 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), may in such circumstances forthwith collect,

 

C-25


receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an 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 or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent may disclaim any warranties of title, possession and quiet enjoyment. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption held by any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder except to the extent any such claims, damages, or demands result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, in each case against whom such claim is asserted. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or other disposition.

Section 5.2 Specific Remedies.

(a) The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Accounts, under the Administrative Agent’s direction and control or as otherwise provided in this Agreement; provided that, the Administrative Agent may curtail or terminate such authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) the Administrative Agent may communicate with Account Debtors of any Account subject to a Security Interest and upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall notify (such notice to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) its Account Debtors and parties to the Material Contracts subject to a Security Interest that such Accounts and the Material Contracts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties;

(ii) each Grantor shall forward to the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of each week, deposit slips related to all cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment received by the Grantor during such week, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, copies of such checks or any other similar items of payment, together with a statement showing the application of all payments on the Collateral during such week and a collection report with regard thereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

 

C-26


(iii) whenever any Grantor shall receive any cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment relating to any Collateral (including any Proceeds of any Collateral), such Grantor agrees that it will, within one (1) Business Day of such receipt, deposit all such items of payment into the Collateral Account or in a Deposit Account at a Controlled Depositary, and until such Grantor shall deposit such cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment in the Collateral Account or in a Deposit Account at a Controlled Depositary, such Grantor shall hold such cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and as property of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, separate from the other funds of such Grantor, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to transfer or direct the transfer of the balance of each Deposit Account to the Collateral Account. All such Collateral and Proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the Collateral Account as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.4;

(iv) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or distributions made in respect of any Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests or other Proceeds paid in respect of any Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests, and any or all of any Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests shall, if so directed by the Administrative Agent, be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members of the relevant Issuers and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate, partnership or company structure of any Issuer or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In furtherance thereof, each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer with respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property and Partnership/LLC Interests to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms

 

C-27


of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor hereby agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) except as otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to any Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests directly to the Administrative Agent; and

(v) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (but shall not be required to): (A) proceed to perform any and all obligations of the applicable Grantor under any Material Contract and exercise all rights of such Grantor thereunder as fully as such Grantor itself could, (B) do all other acts which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or proper to protect its Security Interest granted hereunder, provided that such acts are not inconsistent with, or in violation of, the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or Applicable Law, and (C) sell, assign or otherwise transfer any Material Contract in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Applicable Law, subject, however, to the prior approval of each other party to such Material Contract, to the extent required under the Material Contract; and

(c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 5.2(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends, payments or other distributions made in respect of any Investment Property and Partnership/LLC Interests, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and other corporate, company and partnership rights with respect to any Investment Property and Partnership/LLC Interests; provided that, no vote shall be cast or other corporate, company and partnership right exercised or other action taken which, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would result in a Default or a default under any provision of any Secured Hedging Agreement.

Section 5.3 Registration Rights.

(a) If, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall determine that in order to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral it is necessary or advisable to have such Collateral registered under the provisions of the Securities Act (any such Collateral, the “Restricted Securities Collateral”), the relevant Grantor will, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, cause each applicable Subsidiary Issuer (and the officers and directors thereof), and will use its best efforts to cause each other applicable Issuer, to (i) execute and deliver all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Restricted Securities Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of such Restricted Securities Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause each applicable Subsidiary Issuer

 

C-28


(and the officers and directors thereof), and will use its best efforts to cause each other applicable Issuer, to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Restricted Securities Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Restricted Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Restricted Securities Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other Applicable Laws. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.3 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.3 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default exists under the Credit Agreement.

Section 5.4 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by GEO and the Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of the Collateral or any Proceeds of the Collateral as provided in Section 7.02(b) of the Credit Agreement.

Section 5.5 Waiver, Deficiency. Except to the extent prohibited under Applicable Law (including Section 9-602 of the UCC), each Grantor waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Sections 9-210, 9-607, 9-608, 9-610, 9-615, 9-620, 9-621, 9-623, 9-624, 9-625 or 9-627 of the UCC. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys retained by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 6.1 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-In-Fact.

(a) Each Grantor 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 Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account or Material Contract subject to a Security Interest or with respect to any other 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 any Account or Material Contract subject to a Security Interest or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in this Agreement, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (A) 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; (B) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and 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; (C) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other

 

C-30


documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) 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; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (F) 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; (G) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) 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 Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ Security Interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).

(c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof in accordance with Section 6.1(a). All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the Security Interests created hereby are released.

Section 6.2 Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be 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 Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not

 

C-31


impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 6.3 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Amendments and Waivers. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified only by an instrument in writing duly executed by each Grantor and the Administrative Agent (with the consent of such Lenders (if any) as are required by Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement). Any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon the Secured Parties and the Grantors.

Section 7.2 Notices. All notices and communications hereunder shall be given to the addresses and otherwise made in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement and shall be deemed to have been given at the times specified in said Section 9.01; provided that notices and communications to any Grantor may be given to GEO on such Grantor’s behalf and shall be deemed received by such Grantor upon receipt by GEO or by such Grantor. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that for purposes of this Agreement, GEO shall be each Grantor’s representative subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct, Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent

 

C-32


or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 7.4 Enforcement Expenses, Indemnification.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements to which such Grantor is a party (including, without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes (in each case, subject to Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement) which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs and expenses in connection with actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent any Grantor would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section 7.4 shall survive termination of the Commitments, repayment of the Obligations, termination of the Letters of Credit and repayment of the LC Disbursements, and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements.

Section 7.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 7.7 Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time pursuant to Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Secured Hedging Agreement or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 7.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 2. Guaranty of Obligations.

(a) Nature of Guaranty. Each Obligor hereby, jointly and severally with the other Obligors, unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties, and their respective permitted successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt payment and performance of all the Obligations, whether primary or secondary (whether by way of endorsement or otherwise), whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether or not from time to time reduced or extinguished (except by payment thereof) or hereafter increased or incurred, whether enforceable or unenforceable as against any of the Obligors, whether or not discharged, stayed or otherwise affected by any Applicable Insolvency Law or proceeding thereunder, whether created directly with the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or acquired by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party through assignment or endorsement, whether matured or unmatured, whether joint or several, as and when the same become due and payable (whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory repayment or otherwise), in accordance with the terms of any such instruments evidencing any such obligations, including all renewals, extensions or modifications thereof (all Obligations of the Obligors, including all of the foregoing, being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

(b) General Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Obligor under Section 2(a) would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 2(c), be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 2(a), then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Obligor, any Secured Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

(c) Rights of Contribution. The Obligors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, then each other Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 2(c) shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Section 2 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.

 

D-4


For purposes of this Section 2(c), (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock or other equity interest of any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of the Obligors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Obligors hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and Secured Hedging Agreements) of all of the Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Guarantor that is a party hereto on the Restatement Effective Date, as of the Restatement Effective Date, and (B) with respect to any other Guarantor, as of the date such Guarantor becomes a Guarantor hereunder.

(d) Indemnity by Obligors. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 2(e)), each Obligor agrees that (i) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement to satisfy in whole or in part the Guaranteed Obligation of any Obligor, such Obligor shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (ii) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part the Guaranteed Obligations of any Obligor, such Obligor shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

(e) Subrogation. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that until the payment and performance, in full, of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, the Letters of Credit and the Secured Hedging Agreements they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 2(a), whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Obligor or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, any Collateral).

SECTION 3. Taxes.

(a) Each Obligor agrees to pay, and to hold the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes (subject to the express terms of the Credit Agreement) which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty.

(b) Each Obligor agrees to pay, and to hold the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs and expenses in connection with actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Guaranty to the extent any Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

 

D-5


(c) The agreements in this Section 3 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, the Letters of Credit and the Secured Hedging Agreements and the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 4. Nature of Guaranty.

(a) Each Obligor agrees that this Guaranty is a continuing, unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its obligations under this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:

(i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any of the Obligors or any of their respective Subsidiaries is or may become a party;

(ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement or the waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect to any of the provisions of this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement;

(iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for (including, without limitation, any Collateral) or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in respect of such security or guaranty (including, without limitation, the release of any such security or guaranty); or

(iv) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor; it being agreed by each Obligor that, subject to the first sentence in Section 2(b), its obligations under this Guaranty shall not be discharged until the Release Date shall have occurred.

(b) Each Obligor represents, warrants and agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty are not and shall not be subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses of any kind against the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties, the Borrowers or the other Obligors whether now existing or which may arise in the future.

(c) Each Obligor hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty, and all dealings between any Borrower and any of the other Obligors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.

SECTION 5. Waivers. To the extent permitted by law, each Obligor expressly waives all of the following rights and defenses (and agrees not to take advantage of or assert any such right or defense):

(a) any rights it may now or in the future have under any statute, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to proceed in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations against any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other party or against any security for or other guaranty of the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Obligor;

 

D-6


(b) any defense based upon the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to commence an action in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations against any Borrower, such Obligor, any other guarantor or any other party or any security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(c) any right to insist upon, plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets or redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by such Obligor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties of, this Guaranty;

(d) any right of diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice (except as specifically required herein) of whatever kind or nature with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the benefit of all provisions of law which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty; and

(e) any and all right to notice of the creation, renewal, extension, or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon, or acceptance of, this Guaranty.

Each Obligor agrees that any notice or directive given at any time to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party which is inconsistent with any of the foregoing waivers shall be null and void and may be ignored by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Guaranty for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written terms of this Guaranty, unless the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have specifically agreed otherwise in writing. The foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements and, but for this Guaranty and such waivers, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties would decline to enter into the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements.

SECTION 6. Modification of Loan Documents etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall incur any liability to any Obligor as a result of any of the following, and none of the following shall impair or release this Guaranty or any of the obligations of any Obligor under this Guaranty:

(a) any change or extension of the manner, place or terms of payment of, or renewal or alteration of all or any portion of, the Guaranteed Obligations;

(b) any action under or in respect of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Secured Hedging Agreement in the exercise of any remedy, power or privilege contained therein or available to any of them at law, in equity or otherwise, or waiver or refrain from exercising any such remedies, powers or privileges;

(c) any amendment or modification, in any manner whatsoever, of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Secured Hedging Agreement;

(d) any extension or waiver of the time for performance by any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person of, or compliance with, any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement, or waiver of such performance or compliance or consent to a failure of, or departure from, such performance or compliance;

 

D-7


(e) any taking and holding security or collateral for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any sale, exchange, release, disposal of, or other dealing with, any property pledged, mortgaged or conveyed, or in which the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has been granted a Lien, to secure any Indebtedness of any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person to the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties;

(f) any release of anyone who may be liable in any manner for the payment of any amounts owed by any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party;

(g) any modification or termination of the terms of any intercreditor or subordination agreement pursuant to which claims of other creditors of any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person are subordinated to the claims of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party; or

(h) any application of any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any amounts owing by any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party on account of the Guaranteed Obligations in such manner as the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall determine in its reasonable discretion.

SECTION 7. Demand by the Administrative Agent. In addition to the terms set forth in Section 2, and in no manner imposing any limitation on such terms, if all or any portion of the then outstanding Guaranteed Obligations are declared to be immediately due and payable, then the Obligors shall, upon demand in writing therefor by the Administrative Agent to the Obligors, pay all or such portion of the outstanding Guaranteed Obligations then declared due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Obligor agrees that, in the event of the dissolution or insolvency of any Borrower or any other Obligor, or the inability or failure of any Borrower or any other Obligor to pay debts as they become due, or an assignment by any Borrower or any other Obligor for the benefit of creditors, or the commencement of any case or proceeding in respect of any Borrower or any other Obligor under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Guaranteed Obligations may not then be due and payable, each Obligor will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by each Obligor if all such Guaranteed Obligations were then due and payable.

SECTION 8. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, enforce against the Obligors their respective obligations and liabilities hereunder and exercise such other rights and remedies as may be available to the Administrative Agent hereunder, under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

SECTION 9. Benefits of Guaranty. The provisions of this Guaranty are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, the obligations of any Borrower under the Loan Documents and the obligations of the Obligors under the Secured Hedging Agreements. In the event all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations are transferred, endorsed or assigned by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party to any Person or Persons as permitted under the Credit Agreement, any reference to an “Administrative Agent”, “Lender” or “Secured Party” herein shall be deemed to refer equally to such Person or Persons.

 

D-8


SECTION 10. Termination.

(a) Subject to clause (c) below, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Release Date shall have occurred; at which time this Guaranty and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Obligor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party.

(b) No payment made by any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Obligor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Obligor in respect of the obligations of the Obligors hereunder or any payment received or collected from such Obligor in respect of the obligations of the Obligors hereunder), remain liable for the obligations of the Obligors up to the maximum liability of such Obligor hereunder until the Release Date shall have occurred.

(c) Each Obligor agrees that, if any payment made by any Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person applied to the Obligations or any other Guaranteed Obligations is at any time annulled, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be refunded by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person (including, without limitation, any Obligor) under any Applicable Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, each Obligor’s liability hereunder (and any Lien securing such liability) shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made, and, if prior thereto, this Guaranty shall have been canceled or surrendered (and if any Lien or Collateral securing such Obligor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), this Guaranty (and such Lien) shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of such Obligor in respect of the amount of such payment (or any Lien or Collateral securing such obligation).

SECTION 11. Payments. Payments by the Obligors shall be made to the Administrative Agent, to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, in immediately available funds (in the same currency as the relevant Guaranteed Obligations) to an account designated by the Administrative Agent or at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement or at any other address that may be specified in writing from time to time by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 12. Representations and Warranties. Each Obligor hereby represents and warrants to the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) that:

(a) each Obligor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or its equivalent) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has all requisite corporate, limited liability company or other organizational power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification and authorization, other than in any such jurisdictions where failure to so qualify could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

 

D-9


(b) such Obligor has the right, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty and has taken all necessary corporate, limited liability company or other organizational action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty;

(c) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officer(s) of each Obligor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by the availability of equitable remedies;

(d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not violate any Applicable Law or contractual obligation of such Obligor and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property or revenues of such Obligor;

(e) no consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any arbitrator or Governmental Authority and no consent of any other Person (including, without limitation, any stockholder or creditor of such Obligor), is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Guaranty, except such consents, authorizations or filings as may have been obtained or made on or before the Restatement Effective Date (or such later date upon which such Obligor became a party hereto);

(g) in executing and delivering this Guaranty, such Obligor has: (i) without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or any information received from the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and based upon such documents and information it deems appropriate, made an independent investigation of the transactions contemplated hereby and of each Borrower and each other Obligor, each Borrower’s and each other Obligor’s business, assets, operations, prospects and condition, financial or otherwise, and any circumstances which may bear upon such transactions, any Borrower, any other Obligor or the obligations and risks undertaken herein with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) adequate means to obtain from each Borrower and each other Obligor on a continuing basis information concerning such Borrower and such Obligor; (iii) full and complete access to the Loan Documents, any other documents executed in connection with the Loan Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements; and (iv) not relied and will not rely upon any representations or warranties of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party not expressly embodied herein or any acts heretofore or hereafter taken by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party (including but not limited to any review by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of the affairs of the Borrowers or any other Obligors).

SECTION 17. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.

(a) Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and

 

D-11


unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty shall affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty against any Obligor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty in any court referred to in Section 17(a). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Guaranty irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 14. Nothing in this Guaranty will affect the right of any party to this Guaranty to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 18. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 19. No Waiver by Course of Conduct, Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 13), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 20. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Obligor and shall inure to the benefit of each Obligor (and shall bind all Persons who become bound as a Obligor under this Guaranty), the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Obligor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (with the consent of such Lenders (if any) as are required by Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement).

 

D-12


SECTION 21. Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be construed in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 22. Headings. The various headings of this Guaranty are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Guaranty or any provisions hereof.

SECTION 23. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts (including by telecopy), each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement.

SECTION 24. Set-Off. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time pursuant to Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement, without notice to such Obligor or any other Obligor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Obligor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Obligor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Obligor to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party against such Obligor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall notify such Obligor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party under this Section 24 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may have.

SECTION 25. Integration. This Guaranty, the other Loan Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements represent the agreement of the Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents or in the Secured Hedging Agreements.

SECTION 26. Acknowledgements. Each Obligor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Obligor arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Obligors and the Secured Parties.

 

D-13


SECTION 27. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and are powers coupled with an interest.

SECTION 28. Additional Obligors. Each Subsidiary of GEO that is required to become a party to this Guaranty pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor and an Obligor for all purposes of this Guaranty upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a supplement in form substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

SECTION 29. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Obligor hereunder to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 29 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 29, or otherwise under this Guaranty, as it relates to such Obligor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 29 shall remain in full force and effect until the date on which all Obligations have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit have been terminated, expired or cash collateralized (in accordance with the Credit Agreement) and all Commitments shall have terminated. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 29 constitute, and this Section 29 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Obligor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 30. Judgment Currency. The provisions of Section 9.15 of the Credit Agreement shall also apply with respect to the Guarantors’ payment obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, under Section 11) and such provisions are hereby incorporated herein by reference, in each case mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 31. Affirmation. Each Obligor hereby reaffirms, as of the Restatement Effective Date, (i) the covenants and agreements made by such Obligor contained in each Loan Document to which it is a party and (ii) its continuing pledges and other grants of Liens in respect of the Obligations pursuant to any Security Document, in each case, as such covenants, agreements and other provisions may be modified, supplemented or amended on the Restatement Effective Date. Each Obligor further confirms that each Loan Document to which it is a party is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and the same are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that upon the occurrence of the Restatement Effective Date, all references in such Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, the “Loan Documents”, “thereunder”, “thereof”, or words of similar import shall mean the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as amended or otherwise modified on (and after giving effect to the occurrence of) the Restatement Effective Date.

SECTION 32. Amendment and Restatement. As of the Restatement Effective Date, this Guaranty shall amend, and restate as amended, the Existing Guaranty, but shall not constitute a novation thereof or in any way impair or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the parties thereunder (including with respect to representations and warranties made thereunder) except as such rights or

 

D-14


obligations are amended or modified hereby. The Existing Guaranty as amended and restated hereby shall be deemed to be a continuing agreement among the parties, and all documents, instruments and agreements delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Existing Guaranty not amended and restated in connection with the entry of the parties into this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, each in accordance with its terms, as of the date of delivery or such other date as contemplated by such document, instrument or agreement to the same extent as if the modifications to the Existing Guaranty contained herein were set forth in an amendment to the Existing Guaranty in a customary form, unless such document, instrument or agreement has otherwise been terminated or has expired in accordance with or pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement, this Guaranty or the Existing Guaranty or such document, instrument or agreement or as otherwise agreed by the required parties hereto or thereto.

AMENDED AND RESTATED COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

AMENDED AND RESTATED COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Assignment”), dated as of April 3, 2013, by and among THE GEO GROUP, INC., a Florida corporation (“GEO”), GEO CORRECTIONS HOLDINGS, INC., a Florida corporation (“Corrections” and, together with GEO, the “Borrowers”), certain Subsidiaries of GEO as identified on the signature pages hereto (together with Corrections, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and each additional Subsidiary of GEO who becomes a party to this Assignment pursuant to Section 18 hereof (each, an “Additional Grantor”; and, together with the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, collectively, the “Grantors”) in favor of BNP PARIBAS, as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement referred to below (the “Administrative Agent”) for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

WHEREAS, GEO, BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, and certain other parties entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of August 4, 2010 (as amended, modified and supplemented to, and as in effect immediately before giving effect to the amendment and restatement thereof on, the Restatement Effective Date, the “Existing Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, in conjunction with the Existing Credit Agreement, GEO, certain Subsidiaries of GEO (together with each Subsidiary that became a “Grantor” thereunder prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Grantors”), and BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, entered into the Collateral Assignment Agreement dated as of August 4, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented and otherwise modified to, and as in effect immediately before giving effect to the amendment and restatement thereof contemplated hereby on, the date hereof, the “Existing Assignment”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of even date herewith (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrowers, the financial institutions (the “Lenders”) from time to time parties thereto and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders have agreed to make (or continue) extensions of credit to the Borrowers upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;

WHEREAS, in addition, all or any of the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries are and may from time to time be obligated to the Hedge Counterparties in respect of one or more Hedging Agreements (such Hedging Agreements being referred to herein as “Secured Hedging Agreements”);

WHEREAS, the Grantors, though separate legal entities, comprise one integrated financial enterprise, and all extensions of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement will inure, directly or indirectly, to the benefit of each of the Grantors;

 

E-2


WHEREAS, one or more of the Grantors may be party to each of the agreements listed on Schedule A hereto (all such agreements, together with any and all renewals, extensions, amendments, restatements, schedules, lease supplements and other supplements thereto, are collectively referred to in this Assignment as the “Agreements”); and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make (or continue) their respective extensions of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement that the Grantors shall have executed and delivered this Assignment to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, and to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement, to induce the Lenders to make (or continue) their respective extensions of credit thereunder and to induce the Hedge Counterparties to enter into (or continue) the Secured Hedging Agreements, the Grantors have agreed to assign the Agreements to the Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defined Terms.

(a) The following terms when used in this Assignment shall have the meanings assigned to them below:

Additional Grantor” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the recitals.

The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Assignment shall refer to this Assignment as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Assignment, and Article, Section and Schedule references are to this Assignment unless otherwise specified. The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. Where the context requires, terms relating to the Collateral or any part thereof, when used in relation to a Grantor, shall refer to such Grantor’s Collateral or the relevant part thereof.

SECTION 2. Assignment of Agreements. As collateral security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, each of the Grantors hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) a security interest in, and collaterally assigns, transfers and sets over to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties):

(a) all of such Grantor’s rights, title and interests, powers, privileges and other benefits under the Agreements and the right to effect all waivers and agreements, to give all notices, consents and releases, to take any action upon the occurrence of any default giving rise to a right in favor of such Grantor under any such Agreement, and to do any and all other things whatsoever which such Grantor is or becomes entitled to do under the Agreements; and

(b) such Grantor’s renewal and extension options, if any, under the Agreements or any other agreement to extend the term of the Agreements.

provided, that the security interest and collateral assignment granted under this Assignment shall not cover any rights under any Agreement that contains a valid and enforceable prohibition on assignment of such rights (except to the extent that any such prohibition would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law or principles of equity), but only for so long as such prohibition exists and is effective and valid.

 

E-4


SECTION 3. No Transfer of Agreements. This Assignment is executed as partial security for the Obligations and, therefore, the execution and delivery of this Assignment shall not subject the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to, or transfer or pass to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or in any way affect or modify, the liability of any Grantor under the Agreements, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding this Assignment or any subsequent assignment, and subject to the provisions of Section 2 hereof, all of the obligations of such Grantor to each Counterparty under the Agreements shall be and remain enforceable by such other party, its successors and assigns, against, and only against, such Grantor and not the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties or any of their successors and assigns.

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Grantors represents and warrants to the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) that:

(a) there are no other assignments or conveyances of any of such Grantor’s rights under the Agreements to any other person or entity, and such Grantor will not grant any such assignment or conveyance;

(b) such Grantor has not done any act or failed to do any act which might prevent the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from, or limit the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in, acting under any of the provisions contained herein relating to any Material Agreement;

(c) no default exists under the terms of any of Material Agreement, and no prohibition exists in any instrument or other agreement to which such Grantor is a party or by which such Grantor is otherwise bound relating to such Grantor’s right to execute this Assignment and perform all of such Grantor’s obligations contained herein relating to Material Agreements;

(d) except as set forth on Schedule A hereto, to the extent required under any Material Agreement, each Counterparty thereto has consented to this Assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(e) each Material Agreement, if any, is valid and enforceable, and, except as disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent, has not been altered, modified or amended in any manner.

SECTION 5. Remedies. So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, each Grantor shall receive all of the benefits accruing under the Agreements, except that such Grantor may not modify, terminate or waive the performance by any party under any Material Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in any instance where such consent is required under any provision of any Loan Document. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, at the option of the Administrative Agent (which option may be exercised independently and from time to time with respect to each of the Agreements), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (but shall not be required to):

(a) proceed to perform any and all obligations of such Grantor under any Agreement and exercise all rights of such Grantor thereunder as fully as such Grantor itself could;

 

E-5


(b) do all other acts which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or proper to protect its security interest granted hereunder, provided that such acts are not inconsistent with, or in violation of, the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or Applicable Law; and

(c) sell, assign or otherwise transfer any Agreement in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Applicable Law, subject, however, to the prior approval of each Counterparty, to the extent required under any Agreement.

SECTION 6. Covenants; Right to Cure. Should any Grantor fail to perform or observe any covenant or comply with any condition contained in the Agreements, the Administrative Agent may (but is not obligated to), but without releasing such Grantor from its obligation to perform such covenant or comply with such condition, perform such covenant or comply with such condition. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall incur any costs or pay any monies in connection with such performance or compliance, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, such costs and expenses shall be included in the Obligations and secured hereby and by all other collateral securing the Obligations.

SECTION 7. Notices. All notices and communications hereunder shall be given to the addresses and otherwise made in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement and shall be deemed to have been given at the times specified in said Section 9.01; provided that notices and communications to any Grantor may be given to GEO on such Grantor’s behalf and shall be deemed received by such Grantor upon receipt by GEO or by such Grantor. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that for purposes of this Assignment, GEO shall be each Grantor’s representative subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 8. Indemnification.

(b) Right to Cure Defaults. If the Mortgagor shall fail promptly to perform or observe any of the terms, covenants or conditions required to be performed by it under the Lease, including, without limitation, payment of all rent and other charges due thereunder, the Mortgagee may, without obligation to do so, and upon notice to the Mortgagor (except in an emergency), take such action as is appropriate to cause such terms, covenants or conditions to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of the Mortgagor but no such action by the Mortgagee shall release the Mortgagor from any of its obligations under this Mortgage. Upon receipt by the Mortgagee from the lessor under the Lease of any notice of default by the Mortgagor thereunder, the Mortgagee may rely thereon and take any action as aforesaid to cure such default even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by the Mortgagor or by any party on behalf of the Mortgagor.

(d) Release or Forbearance. No release or forbearance of any of the Mortgagor’s obligations under the Lease, pursuant to the terms thereof or otherwise, shall release the Mortgagor from any of its obligations under this Mortgage.

(e) No Merger of Interests. Neither the fee title to the property demised by the Lease nor the leasehold estate created by the Lease shall merge, but shall always remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of the aforesaid estates either in the lessor or the Mortgagor under the Lease or in a third party by purchase or otherwise, unless the Mortgagee shall, at its option, execute and record a document evidencing its intent to merge such estates. If the Mortgagor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in any Property covered by the Lease, this Mortgage shall attach to, be a Lien upon and spread to the fee title or such other estate so acquired, and such fee title or other estate shall, without further assignment, mortgage or conveyance, become and be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage. The Mortgagor shall notify the Mortgagee of any such acquisition by the Mortgagor and, on 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 to carry out the intent and meaning hereof.

(h) Renewals and Extensions. Unless the exercise of any option, now existing or hereafter created, to renew or extend the term of the Lease would, in the Mortgagor’s reasonable business judgment, be inadvisable, the Mortgagor shall, at least six months, or such lesser period as may be permitted in the Lease, prior to the last day upon which the Mortgagor may validly exercise such option, (i) exercise such option in such manner as will cause the term of the Lease to be effectively renewed or extended for the period provided by such option and (ii) give immediate notice thereof to the Mortgagee, it being understood that in the event of the failure of the Mortgagor to do so, the Mortgagee shall have, and is hereby granted, the irrevocable right to exercise any such option, either in its own name and behalf, or in the name and behalf of the Mortgagor, as the Mortgagee shall in its sole discretion determine.

(i) Notifications of Changes in Rent. The Mortgagor shall promptly notify the Mortgagee of any change in the rent or other charges payable under the Lease, except for changes made pursuant to the provisions of the Lease.

Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Mortgage, to the extent not prohibited by law, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, property, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of the Mortgagor in, to and under the Mortgage Estate, or any portions thereof so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, by, through or under the Mortgagor. The powers and agency herein granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.

(b) Liability for Deficiencies. No sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Mortgage Estate pursuant to Section 4.02 shall be deemed to relieve the Mortgagor of its obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Instrument except to the extent the proceeds thereof are applied to the payment of such obligations. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Instruments, if the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Mortgage Estate are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Obligations, the Mortgagor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

Section 4.04. Right to Sue. The Mortgagee shall have the right from time to time to sue for any sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor under the terms of this Mortgage as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the Obligations shall be, or have become, due and without prejudice to the right of the Mortgagee thereafter to bring any action or proceeding of foreclosure or any other action upon the occurrence of any Default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

Section 4.05. Powers of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee may at any time or from time to time renew or extend this Mortgage or (with the agreement of the Mortgagor) alter or modify the same in any way, or waive any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof, in whole or in part, and may release any portion of the Mortgage Estate or any other security, and grant such extensions and indulgences in relation to the Obligations, or release any person liable therefor as the Mortgagee may determine without the consent of any junior lienor

 

F-15


or encumbrancer, without any obligation to give notice of any kind thereto, without in any manner affecting the priority of the Lien and estate of this Mortgage on or in any part of the Mortgage Estate, and without affecting the liability of any other person liable for any of the Obligations.

Section 4.06. Remedies Cumulative.

(a) Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy under this Mortgage, or under applicable law, whether now or hereafter existing; the failure of the Mortgagee to insist at any time upon the strict observance or performance of any of the provisions of this Mortgage or to exercise any right or remedy provided for herein or under applicable law, shall not impair any such right or remedy nor be construed as a waiver or relinquishment thereof.

(b) Other Security. The Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any of the obligations of the Mortgagor and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any Loan Instrument or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding that some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, Lien, assignment or otherwise; neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect the Mortgagee’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by the Mortgagee, it being stipulated that the Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by the Mortgagee in such order and manner as the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may determine; every power or remedy given by the Credit Agreement, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Instruments to the Mortgagee, or to which the Mortgagee is otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee may pursue inconsistent remedies.

Section 4.07. Waiver of Stay, Extension, Moratorium Laws; Equity of Redemption. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Mortgagor shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any applicable present or future stay, extension or moratorium law, that may affect observance or performance of the provisions of this Mortgage; nor claim, take or insist upon any benefit or advantage of any present or future law providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Mortgage Estate or any portion thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof that may be made under or by virtue of Section 4.02; and the Mortgagor, to the extent that it lawfully may, hereby waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws. The Mortgagor for itself and all who may claim under it, hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights and equities of redemption from sale under the power of sale created hereunder or from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage and (if a Default shall have occurred) all notice or notices of seizure, and all right to have the Mortgage Estate marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof. The Mortgagee shall not be obligated to pursue or exhaust its rights or remedies as against any other part of the Mortgage Estate and the Mortgagor hereby waives any right or claim of right to have the Mortgagee proceed in any particular order.
