30


(a) Revolving Credit Loans.

(i) On the First Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Revolving Credit Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of each Lender outstanding on the First Restatement Effective Date (immediately prior to giving effect thereto) were continued, and on the First Restatement Date constituted and remained outstanding as Revolving Credit Loans hereunder. All Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the date hereof (immediately prior to giving effect to the Second Restatement Effective Date) remain outstanding hereunder as of the Second 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. On the First Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of each Lender outstanding on the First Restatement Effective Date (immediately prior to giving effect thereto) were continued, and on the First Restatement Date constituted and remained outstanding as Term Loans hereunder. As of the Second Restatement Effective Date, Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $296,250,000 remain outstanding hereunder. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(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 Second Restatement Effective Date plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Commitment Increases obtained after the Second 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

 

31


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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

To request the issuance of an AUD LC (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding AUD LC), GEO shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the respective AUD LC Issuer) to an AUD LC Issuer selected by it and the Administrative Agent a notice, in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower (an “AUD LC Request”), requesting the issuance of an AUD LC, or identifying the AUD LC to be renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such AUD LC is to expire (which shall not be earlier than one year after issuance thereof, except as required by Section 2.05(d)), the amount of such AUD LC, whether such AUD LC is to be an AUD FLOC or an AUD PLOC, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, whether such AUD LC is requested on a Competitive Bid basis and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, renew or extend such AUD LC. Such notice shall be given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the date of the proposed issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (the “AUD LC Request Time”). The AUD LC Issuer shall promptly notify each Australian LC Facility Lender of the AUD LC Issuer’s receipt of any AUD LC Request, furnish to such Lenders a copy of such AUD LC Request and take such other actions in respect of such AUD LC Request as are provided in Section 2.05(l).

If requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Borrowers, with respect to any RCF LC, or GEO, with respect to any AUD LC, 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 the Borrower or GEO, as applicable, to, or entered into by the Borrowers or GEO, as applicable, with, an Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(c) Limitations. An RCF LC shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the aggregate RCF LC Exposure shall not exceed $175,000,000 and (B) the total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each RCF LC the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant as to the same).

An AUD LC shall be issued, renewed or extended only if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the aggregate AUD LC Exposure shall not exceed A$225,000,000 and, solely with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any AUD FLOC, the aggregate AUD LC Exposure in respect of AUD FLOCs shall not exceed A$130,000,000 (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each AUD LC, GEO shall be deemed to represent and warrant as to the same).

(d) Expiration Date. Each RCF LC shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date reasonably satisfactory to the applicable RCF LC Issuer 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 RCF LC is cash collateralized no later than such fifth prior Business Day in accordance with Section 2.05(k).

 

36


Each AUD LC shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date reasonably satisfactory to the applicable AUD LC Issuer (which date shall be no earlier than (x) in the case of any AUD FLOC, the first anniversary of the issuance thereof, or (y) in the case of any AUD PLOC, the earliest expiration date acceptable to the beneficiary thereof at the time the AUD LC Request in respect of such AUD PLOC is made pursuant to Section 2.05(b), as represented to the Administrative Agent and the AUD LC Issuer by GEO in writing at such time) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to (x) the Australian LC Facility Termination Date, in the case of any AUD PLOC, or (y) the AUD FLOC Maturity Date, in the case of any AUD FLOC; provided that such date may be later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Australian LC Facility Termination Date or the AUD FLOC Maturity Date, as applicable, if and so long as such AUD LC is cash collateralized no later than such fifth prior Business Day in accordance with Section 2.05(k).

(e) Participations.

(i) By the issuance of an RCF LC (or an amendment to an RCF LC increasing the amount thereof) by any RCF LC Issuer, and without any further action on the part of such RCF LC Issuer or the Lenders, such RCF LC Issuer hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such RCF LC Issuer, a participation in such RCF LC equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such RCF LC. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.05(e)(i) in respect of RCF LCs is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any RCF LC or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.

(ii) 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 RCF LC Issuer, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of each RCF LC Disbursement made by an RCF LC Issuer promptly upon the request of such RCF LC Issuer at any time from the time of such RCF LC Disbursement until such RCF 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 RCF LC Issuer 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 RCF LC Issuer or, to the extent that the Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such RCF LC Issuer, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and such RCF LC Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an RCF LC Issuer for any RCF LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such RCF LC Disbursement.

(iii) By the issuance of an AUD LC by any AUD LC Issuer, and without any further action on the part of such AUD LC Issuer or the Lenders, such AUD LC Issuer hereby grants to each Australian LC Facility Lender or, if such AUD LC is a Competitive AUD LC, each Competitive Australian LC Facility Lender in respect of such Competitive AUD LC, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such AUD LC Issuer, a participation in such AUD LC equal to such Australian LC Facility Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to

 

37


be drawn under such AUD LC or, in the case of a Competitive AUD LC, a participation in such Competitive AUD LC equal to such Competitive Australian LC Facility Lender’s Competitive AUD LC Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Competitive AUD LC. Each Australian LC Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.05(e)(iii) in respect of AUD LCs is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any renewal or extension of any AUD LC or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the applicable Commitments.

(iv) In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Australian LC Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the respective AUD LC Issuer, such Australian LC Facility Lender’s Applicable Percentage or Competitive AUD LC Percentage, as the case may be, of each AUD LC Disbursement made by an AUD LC Issuer in respect of an AUD LC in which such Australian LC Facility Lender has acquired a participation pursuant to Section 2.05(e)(iii) (or pursuant to Section 2.18 or otherwise) within two Business Days following the request of such AUD LC Issuer at any time from the time of such AUD LC Disbursement until such AUD LC Disbursement is reimbursed by GEO or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to GEO 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 Lenders (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Australian LC Facility Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective AUD LC Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Australian LC Facility Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from GEO pursuant to Section 2.05(f), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective AUD LC Issuer or, to the extent that the Australian LC Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such AUD LC Issuer, then to such Australian LC Facility Lenders and such AUD LC Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Australian LC Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an AUD LC Issuer for any AUD LC Disbursement shall not constitute a loan to GEO and shall not relieve GEO of its obligation to reimburse such AUD LC Disbursement.

(f) Reimbursement. If an RCF LC Issuer shall make any RCF LC Disbursement in respect of an RCF LC, the Borrowers shall reimburse such RCF LC Issuer in respect of such RCF LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such RCF 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 RCF 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 RCF 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 RCF 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.

If an AUD LC Issuer shall make any AUD LC Disbursement in respect of an AUD LC, GEO shall reimburse such AUD LC Issuer in respect of such AUD LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent the amount of such AUD LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 p.m., New York

 

38


City time, on the fifth Business Day following the day that GEO receives notice of such AUD LC Disbursement. If GEO fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Australian LC Facility Lender (or, in the case of an AUD LC Disbursement in respect of a Competitive AUD LC, each Australian LC Facility Lender with a participation in the relevant Competitive AUD LC) of the applicable AUD LC Disbursement, the payment then due from GEO in respect thereof and such Australian LC Facility Lender’s Applicable Percentage or Competitive AUD LC Percentage thereof, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and in addition to (and without limiting) any provision of Section 9.02, no subordination of any obligation of GEO to reimburse the AUD LC Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.05(f) for any AUD LC Disbursement shall be effective without the prior written consent of each Australian LC Facility Lender.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ or GEO’s, as applicable, 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 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’ or GEO’s, as applicable, 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, with respect to any RCF LC, or GEO, with respect to any AUD LC, to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers and GEO, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers, or GEO, as applicable, 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

 

39


(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 thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers or GEO, as applicable, of their respective obligations 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 equal to, (i) in the case of any RCF LC Disbursement, the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Credit ABR Loans, and (ii) in the case of any AUD LC Disbursement, the AUD Rate plus the applicable Maximum AUD LC Fee Rate then in effect; provided that, if the Borrowers, in the case of any RCF LC Disbursement, or GEO, in the case of any AUD LC Disbursement, fails to reimburse such applicable 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 the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(f) to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall be for account of such 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 applicable Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or (d), as applicable. 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 “RCF LC Issuer”, “AUD LC Issuer” or “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to include, as applicable, 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 (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 RCF LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total RCF LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral, (ii) the Borrowers shall be required to provide cover for RCF LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.10(c), or (iii) GEO shall elect to extend the expiration date of any RCF LC 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 “RCF 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

 

40


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 RCF 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 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 in respect of the Lenders’ RCF LC Exposure and the other amounts contemplated by this paragraph.

If (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 Australian LC Facility Commitments (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Australian LC Facility Lenders with AUD LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total AUD LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral, (ii) GEO shall be required to provide cover for AUD LC Exposure, or (iii) GEO shall elect to extend the expiration date of any AUD LC pursuant to Section 2.05(d), GEO shall immediately deposit into a cash collateral account established at a banking institution selected by the Administrative Agent (the “AUD Collateral Account” and, together with the RCF Collateral Account, the “Collateral Accounts”), 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 Australian LC Facility 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 AUD LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become 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 GEO under this Agreement in respect of the Lenders’ AUD LC Exposure and the other amounts contemplated by this paragraph.

The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Accounts. 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 Accounts. Moneys in (i) the RCF Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each RCF LC Issuer for RCF 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 RCF LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of all Lenders with RCF LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and (ii) the AUD Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each AUD LC Issuer for AUD 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 GEO for the AUD LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of all Lenders with AUD LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of GEO under this Agreement. If the Borrowers or GEO 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) Competitive AUD LCs.

(i) Requests for AUD LC Bids by GEO. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time during the AUD LC Availability Period, GEO may request (in accordance with Section 2.05(b)) the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of AUD LCs on a Competitive Bid basis. To request Competitive Bids, GEO shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request pursuant to an AUD LC Request submitted not later than the AUD LC Request Time and otherwise in accordance with Section 2.05(b). Promptly following receipt of an AUD LC Request requesting the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Competitive AUD LC (a “Competitive Bid Request”) in accordance with this Section 2.05(l)(i), and in any event no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time on the Business Day immediately following such AUD LC Request Time (i.e., three Business Days before the date of the proposed issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of the relevant AUD LC), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Australian LC Facility Lenders of the details of such Competitive Bid Request, inviting such Lenders to submit Competitive Bids.

(ii) Making of Competitive Bids by Lenders. Each Australian LC Facility Lender may (but shall not have any obligation to) make up to three Competitive Bids in response to a Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid by a Lender must be substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (or such other form approved by the Administrative Agent), must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of the relevant AUD LC and shall be irrevocable. Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to Exhibit E hereto (or such other form approved by the Administrative Agent) may be rejected by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lender thereof as promptly as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall specify (i) the principal amount (which shall be a minimum of A$5,000,000 and an integral multiple of A$1,000,000, and which may (x) be less than or equal to (but shall not exceed) the entire principal amount of the Competitive AUD LC requested by GEO and (y) exceed the amount of such Lender’s Australian LC Facility Commitment; provided that the total AUD LC Exposure shall not at any time exceed the total Australian LC Facility Commitments) of the Competitive AUD LC in which the Lender is willing to participate and (ii) the minimum Competitive Bid Offered Rate(s) at which the Lender is prepared to participate in such Competitive AUD LC or such amended, renewed or extended Competitive AUD LC (expressed as a percentage rate per annum in the form of a decimal to no more than four decimal places).

(iii) Notification of Bids by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify GEO in writing of the Competitive Bid Offered Rate and the amount specified in each Competitive Bid and the identity of the Lender that shall have made such Competitive Bid.

(iv) Acceptance of Bids. Subject only to the provisions of this paragraph, bids shall be accepted by the Administrative Agent if, and only if, the aggregate amount of Competitive Bids made by Lenders equals or exceeds the face amount of the applicable AUD LC requested by GEO in the related Competitive Bid Request. The Administrative Agent shall accept Competitive Bids made at the lowest Competitive Bid Offered Rate until it has accepted all the Competitive Bids made at such Competitive Bid Offered Rate or, if earlier, until the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted at such Competitive Bid Offered Rate equals the face amount of the requested Competitive AUD LC specified in the related Competitive Bid Request (and, for this purpose, if the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids made at the same Competitive Bid Offered Rate exceeds the face amount of the requested Competitive AUD LC specified in the related Competitive Bid Request, such Competitive Bids shall be accepted in part,

 

42


which acceptance shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid). If the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted at the lowest Competitive Bid Offered Rate is less than the face amount of the requested Competitive AUD LC specified in the related Competitive Bid Request, the Administrative Agent shall accept Competitive Bids made at successively higher Competitive Bid Offered Rates until it has accepted all the Competitive Bids made at the next lowest Competitive Bid Offered Rate such that at such next lowest Competitive Bid Offered Rate or, if earlier, until the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted at such next lowest Competitive Bid Offered Rate, together with the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted at all lower Competitive Bid Offered Rates, equals the face amount of the requested Competitive AUD LC specified in the related Competitive Bid Request (and, for this purpose, if the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids made at the same next lowest Competitive Bid Offered Rate, when added to the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted at all lower Competitive Bid Offered Rates, exceeds the face amount of the requested Competitive AUD LC specified in the related Competitive Bid Request, such Competitive Bids made at such next lowest Competitive Bid Offered Rate shall be accepted in part, which acceptance shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid). The highest Competitive Bid Offered Rate so accepted for a given Competitive Bid Request, or such higher rate as may be applicable in accordance with the next succeeding sentence, shall be the “Applicable Competitive AUD LC Rate” applicable to the entire AUD LC Exposure for the AUD LC specified in such Competitive Bid Request (irrespective of the fact that Competitive Bids may have been made and accepted at lower Competitive Bid Offered Rates). With respect to each Competitive Bid Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify GEO of the results thereof. Notwithstanding the results of any Competitive Bid Request or anything to the contrary herein, GEO may elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to notification of Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05(l)(v) in respect of such Competitive Bid Request, to allocate participations in the applicable Competitive AUD LC in its discretion among Australian LC Facility Lenders; provided that (i) no Australian LC Facility Lender may, without its consent, be allocated a participation in a Competitive AUD LC at a particular Competitive Bid Offered Rate in an amount that exceeds the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids made by such Australian LC Facility Lender in connection with such Competitive Bid Request at such Competitive Bid Offered Rate or any lower Competitive Bid Offered Rate and (ii) a single rate shall be applicable to the entire AUD LC Exposure for such Competitive AUD LC and such rate may be higher (but shall not be lower) than the Competitive Bid Offered Rate that would otherwise be applicable pursuant to the results of such Competitive Bid Request.

 

(v) Notification of Acceptances by Administrative Agent. With respect to each Competitive Bid Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify GEO and each Australian LC Facility Lender in writing whether the aggregate amount of Competitive Bids made by Australian LC Facility Lenders equals or exceeds the face amount of the applicable AUD LC requested by GEO in such Competitive Bid Request and, if so, shall notify GEO and each Australian LC Facility Lender whether such Australian LC Facility Lender shall have a participation in the applicable Competitive AUD LC (and, if so, the amount of such participation, after giving effect to any reallocation by GEO in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.05(l)(iv)) and the Applicable Competitive AUD LC Rate, and each such Australian LC Facility Lender (such Lender, in respect of such Competitive AUD LC, a “Competitive Australian LC Facility Lender” and the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Competitive AUD LC as a percentage of the face amount of such Competitive AUD LC, such Lender’s “Competitive AUD LC Percentage” with respect to such Competitive AUD LC) will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to participate in the Competitive AUD LC in such amount.

 

43


(vi) Competitive Bids by Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to GEO at least one hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(l)(ii).

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 RCF LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the respective RCF LC Issuer.

(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

 

44


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.

(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, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date and the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall terminate on the close of business on the

 

45


commitment termination date specified in the agreement establishing such Series pursuant to Section 2.01(c).

(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 2.08(b) shall be in an amount that is $3,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or, in the case of Australian LC Facility Commitments, A$3,000,000 or a larger multiple of A$1,000,000), (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, and (iii) GEO shall not terminate or reduce the Australian LC Facility Commitments if the total AUD LC Exposure would exceed the total Australian LC Facility 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 Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Australian LC Facility Commitments delivered by GEO may state that such notice is conditioned upon the receipt of funds under other credit facilities, the effectiveness of 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;

(B) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments established after the Second Restatement Effective Date plus the aggregate

 

46


principal amount of all Revolving Credit Commitment Increases obtained after the Second 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 RCF LC Issuer 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.

Promptly following satisfaction of such conditions, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including any Assuming Lenders) thereof and of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase Date by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system.

(iii) Recordation into Register. 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,

 

47


(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 RCF LCs 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 outstanding as of the First Restatement Effective Date 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).

(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

 

48


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 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

 

49


(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 First 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 after the First Amendment Effective Date 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.

(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 First 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 First 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

 

50


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.

(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 (with no corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments), second, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans (with no corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments), and third, to pay unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

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 an RCF LC 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 RCF

 

51


LC that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such RCF LC, 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.

(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 RCF 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 RCF 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 RCF LC Issuer 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 Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Australian LC Facility 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 Section 2.08 or if a notice of prepayment of Term Loans is conditioned upon the receipt

 

52


of funds under other credit facilities, the effectiveness of other credit facilities or pursuant to an Equity Issuance, then such notice of prepayment 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. 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 (to be allocated ratably among such Lenders in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due to such Lenders) 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 First 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 First Restatement Effective Date. 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 RCF LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b) RCF LC Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for account of each Revolving Credit Lender (to be allocated ratably among such Lenders in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due to such Lenders) a participation fee with respect to its participations in RCF LCs, 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 RCF LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed RCF LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the First Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any RCF LC Exposure, and (ii) to each RCF LC Issuer a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between GEO and such RCF LC Issuer on the average daily amount of the RCF LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed RCF LC Disbursements) in respect of each RCF LC issued by such RCF LC Issuer during the period from and including the First Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date on which there ceases to be any RCF LC Exposure in respect of any such RCF LC, as well as such RCF LC Issuer’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any RCF LC 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 First 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 RCF LC Issuer 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).

(c) AUD LC Facility Fees. GEO agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Australian LC Facility Lender (to be allocated ratably among such Lenders in accordance

with the amounts of such fees then due to such Lenders) a facility fee with respect to its Australian LC Facility Commitments (whether used or unused, and determined without regard to Section 2.05(l) or any participation (or lack thereof) by such Lender in any AUD LCs), which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Australian LC Facility Fee Rate on the average daily amount of such Lender’s Australian LC Facility Commitment (whether used or unused, determined without regard to Section 2.05(l) or any participation (or lack thereof) by such Lender in any AUD LCs) during the period from and including the Second Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Australian LC Facility Commitments. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date the relevant Commitment terminates (provided that any such fees accruing after the date on which such Australian LC Facility Commitment terminates shall be payable on demand), commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All facility 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).

(d) AUD LC Fees. GEO agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for account of each Australian LC Facility Lender (to be allocated ratably among such Lenders in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due to such Lenders) a participation fee with respect to its participation in each AUD LC, which participation fee in respect of such AUD LC shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Maximum AUD LC Fee Rate then in effect (or, to the extent such participation shall have been established on a Competitive Bid basis pursuant to Section 2.05(l), but subject to Section 2.18(c)(iv), the Applicable Competitive AUD LC Rate for such AUD LC Exposure) on the average daily amount of such Lender’s AUD LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed AUD LC Disbursements) in respect of such AUD LC during the period from and including the Second Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any AUD LC Exposure, and (ii) to each AUD LC Issuer, a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between GEO and such AUD LC Issuer on the average daily amount of the AUD LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed AUD LC Disbursements) in respect of each AUD LC issued by such AUD LC Issuer during the period from and including the Second Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date on which there ceases to be any AUD LC Exposure in respect of any such AUD LC, as well as such AUD LC Issuer’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any AUD LC 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 date hereof; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Australian LC Facility Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Australian LC Facility Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any AUD LC Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.11(d) 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).

(e) 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.

(f) 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.

 

54


(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 or solely in respect of the Australian LC Facility Commitments, any AUD LC or any AUD LC Disbursement) 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);

(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); and

(iii) all interest, fees and other amounts (including, without limitation, reimbursement obligations with respect to any AUD LC Disbursement) payable by GEO hereunder in respect of the Australian LC Facility Commitments, any AUD LC or any AUD LC Disbursement not paid when due, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of unreimbursed AUD LC Disbursements, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such unreimbursed AUD LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.05(i), and (y) in the case of all other such amounts, 2% plus the AUD Rate plus the applicable Maximum AUD LC Fee Rate then in effect.

(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 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, Adjusted LIBO

 

55


Rate or AUD 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(a), 2.11(b), 2.11(c), 2.11(d) 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 them 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;

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;

 

56


(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 any 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 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 2.13 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 2.13 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

 

57


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 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 2.14 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

 

58


(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 Second Restatement Effective Date or concurrently with the delivery of the relevant Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, two United States Internal 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 Forms W-9, Forms W-8BEN or Forms 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 First Amendment Effective Date.

(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

 

59


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 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 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

 

60


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; provided that (i) all fees, interest and other amounts contemplated by Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(d), reimbursements of AUD LC Disbursements and cash collateralization of AUD LC Exposure shall be payable in Australian Dollars and (ii) any amounts payable under Section 2.13, Section 2.15 or Section 9.03 to any AUD LC Facility Lender or any AUD LC Issuer or in respect of any Australian LC Facility Commitment, any AUD LC Exposure or any AUD LC, shall be payable in either Dollars or Australian Dollars, as elected by the Person entitled to such payment.

(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

 

61


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 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

 

62


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 (x) a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, GEO shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each RCF LC Issuer, or (y) an Australian LC Facility Commitment is being assigned, GEO shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each AUD LC Issuer, in each case 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);

(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.

 

63


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 (x) unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and (y) amount of the Australian LC Facility Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(c);

(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment, Revolving Credit Exposure, Australian LC Facility Commitment and AUD LC 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)(x) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and RCF 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 (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and RCF LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) 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, and (y) all or any part of the AUD LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Australian LC Facility Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (1) the sum of all non-Defaulting Australian LC Facility Lenders’ AUD LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Australian LC Facility Lenders’ Australian LC Facility Commitments and (2) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate AUD LC Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Australian LC Facility 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, on a pro rata basis, 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) or Section 2.11(d), as applicable, 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 or non-Defaulting Australian LC Facility Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(d), as applicable, shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages and, in the

 

64


case of any AUD LC Exposure so reallocated in respect of a Competitive AUD LC, the fees payable pursuant to Section 2.11(d)(i) in respect of such AUD LC Exposure so reallocated shall accrue at the applicable Maximum AUD LC Fee Rate then in effect; 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 fees payable under Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(d), as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such LC Exposure as applicable, 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 or Australian LC Facility Commitments, as applicable, of the applicable non-Defaulting 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 the applicable non-Defaulting 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 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 on a pro rata basis each Issuing Lender’s 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 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

 

65


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 RCF 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, (ii) the AUD LC Exposure of the Australian LC Facility Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s (or replacement Lender’s) Australian LC Facility Commitment and on such date such Lender (or replacement Lender) shall purchase at par participations in the AUD LC Exposure of the other Australian LC Facility Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender (or replacement Lender) to hold such AUD LC Exposure in accordance with its Applicable Percentage (but subject to Section 2.05(l) with respect to any Competitive AUD LC) and (iii) 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 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 RCF LCs (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Term Loans, any

 

66


Incremental Term Loans and any AUD LCs), 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.

(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

 

67


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;

(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.

GEO has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, reported on by Grant Thornton LLC, independent public accountants. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of GEO and its Subsidiaries and Other Consolidated Persons as of such date and for such period in accordance with GAAP.

(b) No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2012, no event has occurred or condition has arisen that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Intellectual Property Matters. Each of GEO and its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by GEO and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

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.

 

69

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 market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (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 market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

70


Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

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, the Person named the Lead Arranger hereunder and each Person named a Co-Syndication Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger 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, the Lead Arranger 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, the Lead Arranger 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.

 

96


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.

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

 

97


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.

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

 

98


obligations thereunder, 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 respective 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 acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders materials and/or information provided by, or on behalf of, the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to the Borrowers or their respective Subsidiaries or the respective securities of any of the foregoing (collectively, “MNPI”) (each, a “Public Lender”). 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.

101


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 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,

 

102


(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.

(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

 

103


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.

(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, 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

 

104


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.

(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, 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

 

105


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

(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, $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, A$5,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of an Australian LC Facility Commitment, in each case 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 (x) 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 or (y) apply to rights and obligations in respect of outstanding Competitive AUD LCs.

(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;

 

106


(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, 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) 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);

(D) the consent of each Swingline Lender and each RCF LC Issuer shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments; and

(E) the consent of each AUD LC Issuer shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Australian LC Facility Commitments.

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

 

107


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 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 and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender

 

108


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, $1,000,000, in the case of any participation in respect of an Incremental Term Loan Commitment or A$5,000,000, in the case of any participation in respect of an Australian LC Facility 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 applicable 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 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

 

109


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 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.

(b) Lender Addendum.

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the

 

110


remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees to notify GEO and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

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 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

 

112


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 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 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

 

113


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 Second 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.

Section 9.17 Special Waiver. As of the date hereof (and with effect immediately prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date on the date hereof), the Lenders party hereto, which constitute the Required Lenders under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement, hereby consent to waive any Default or Event of Default directly or indirectly caused by (a) any non-compliance by GEO Community Services, LLC (formerly known as Cornell Companies, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary of GEO, with Section 4.3 of the Collateral Agreement or Section 6.12 of the Existing Credit Agreement, in each case solely with respect to such Subsidiary’s name change effected most recently prior to the date hereof, (b) any representation or warranty in or made pursuant to any Loan Document being incorrect solely on account of such non-compliance or (c) any non-compliance by GEO with Section 5.02(a) of the Existing Credit Agreement solely on account of any matter or event described in the foregoing clauses (a) or (b). The waiver set forth in this Section 9.17 shall be limited precisely as provided for herein and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under, or a waiver of, consent to or modification of any other term or provision of the Existing Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document referred to therein or herein or of any transaction or further or future action on the part of GEO or any of its Subsidiaries which would require the consent of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
