Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, upon timely fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Lender will make the requested amount of a FROL Advance available to the applicable Borrower on the Drawdown Date requested by such Borrower, as applicable, by crediting such amount to the Designated Account maintained by such Borrower at the Branch of Account. Each FROL Advance under Credit C shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in whole multiples of $500,000 thereafter. The Borrowers shall pay interest to the Lender at such address as the Lender designates from time to time on all such FROL Advances outstanding from time to time hereunder at the applicable rate of interest payable monthly on each Interest Payment Date on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable year. All interest shall accrue from day to day and shall be payable in arrears for the actual number of days elapsed from and including the date of Advance or the previous date on which interest was payable, as the case may be, to but excluding the date on which interest is payable, both before and after demand, maturity, default and judgment, with interest on overdue interest at the applicable FROL Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum and payable on demand.

(d)

payment instructions specifying the account number of such Borrower at the Branch of Account at which the BA Discount Proceeds are to be credited.

The communication in writing by a Borrower to the Lender of the instructions referred to above shall constitute the authorization and instruction of such Borrower to the Lender to complete and execute drafts in accordance with such information as set out above and the request of such Borrower to the Lender to accept such drafts and deposit the same with the "clearing house" against payment as set out in the instructions.  Each Borrower acknowledges that the Lender shall not be obligated to accept any such drafts except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  The Lender shall be and it is hereby authorized to act on behalf of each Borrower upon and in compliance with instructions communicated to the Lender as provided herein if the Lender reasonably believes them to be genuine.

This power of attorney may be revoked by the Borrowers at any time upon not less than five (5) Business Days' written notice served upon the Lender at the address set out in this Agreement, provided that (i) it may be replaced with another power of attorney forthwith in accordance with the requirements of the Lender; and (ii) no such revocation shall reduce, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any draft executed, completed, discounted and/or deposited in accordance herewith prior to the time at which such revocation becomes effective.  This power of attorney may be terminated by the Lender at any time upon not less than five (5) Business Days' written notice to the Borrowers.  Any revocation or termination of this power of attorney shall not affect the rights of the Lender and the obligations of the Borrowers with respect to the indemnities of the Borrowers above stated.

This power of attorney is in addition to and not in substitution for any agreement to which the Lender and the Borrowers (or any of them) are parties.

If this power of attorney is revoked or terminated, to facilitate the acceptance of Bankers' Acceptances hereunder, the Borrowers shall from time to time as required by the Lender, provide the Lender with an appropriate number of executed drafts drawn in blank by the Borrowers in the form prescribed by the Lender.  Each Borrower may, at its option, execute any draft by the facsimile signatures of any two (2) of its authorized signing officers, and each Borrower and the Lender are hereby authorized to accept or pay, as the case may be, any draft of such Borrower which purports to bear such facsimile signatures notwithstanding that any such individual has ceased to be an authorized signing officer of such Borrower.  Any such draft or Bankers' Acceptance so executed and completed or executed and completed pursuant to the power of attorney shall be as valid as if he or she were an authorized signing officer of such Borrower at the date of issue of such Bankers' Acceptance.  Any such draft or Bankers' Acceptance may be dealt with by the Lender to all intents and purposes and shall bind each Borrower as if duly signed in each signing officer's own handwriting and issued by such Borrower, and each Borrower shall hold the Lender harmless and indemnified against all loss, costs, damages and expenses arising out of the payment or negotiation of any such draft or Bankers' Acceptance resulting from such drafts not having been duly signed other than any loss, costs, damages or expenses arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. The Lender shall not be liable for any failure to accept a Bankers' Acceptance as required hereunder if the cause of such failure, in whole or in part, is due to the revocation or termination of the power of attorney or the failure of the Borrowers to provide executed drafts to the Lender on a timely basis.

The receipt by the Lender of a request for an Advance by way of Bankers' Acceptances shall be the Lender's sufficient authority to complete and sign, and the Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete and sign (as applicable) such drafts in

(ii)

a Person or group of Persons, acting jointly or in concert, acquires, directly or indirectly (other than by way of security for a bona fide debt), a sufficient number of Shares of such Loan Party or UHA that the votes attached to those Shares are sufficient, if exercised, to elect a majority of the directors (or other equivalent Person with respect to any Loan Party that is not a Corporation) of such Loan Party or UHA; or

If any Default or Event of Default occurs and for so long as it continues, the Lender shall not be under any further obligation to make an Advance under any Credit, and upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, the Lender may give notice to the Borrowers declaring all or any of the Obligations under the Credits to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand, protest


 

EXHIBIT 10.1

or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower; provided however, the Lender shall be deemed to give such notice to the Borrowers immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 16.1(g) or 16.1(h). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for greater certainty, Credit F is a non-committed demand facility and the lender shall have no obligation to make any Advance thereunder regardless of compliance by the Borrowers with any of the terms of the Agreement including, without limitations, the conditions precedent set forth in Article XII.

16.3

Payment of Bankers' Acceptances and Letters of Credit

Immediately upon the making of a declaration referred to in Section 16.2 (or the deemed making of such declaration), the Borrowers shall, without necessity of further act or evidence, be and become thereby unconditionally obligated to deposit forthwith with the Lender Collateral equal to the Face Amount of all Bankers' Acceptances and Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by the Lender, and the Borrowers hereby unconditionally jointly and severally promise and agree to deposit with the Lender immediately upon such declaration Collateral in such amount.  Each Borrower authorizes the Lender to debit its account with the amount required to provide such Collateral for such Bankers' Acceptances and Letters of Credit, notwithstanding that such Bankers' Acceptances may be held by the Lender in its own right at maturity or that no draw has yet been made under a Letter of Credit.  Any amounts deposited hereunder shall bear interest for the Borrowers' account at the rates of the Lender as may be applicable in respect of other deposits of similar amounts for similar terms. Amounts paid to the Lender pursuant to such a declaration (or deemed declaration) in respect of Bankers' Acceptances and Letters of Credit shall be applied against the obligation of the Borrowers to pay amounts then or thereafter payable under Bankers' Acceptances and Letters of Credit at the times amounts become payable under or in respect thereof, as the case may be, and any amounts remaining shall be held by the Lender as security for the payment and performance of all remaining outstanding Obligations.

16.4

Remedies

Upon the making of a declaration (or the deemed making of such declaration) contemplated by Section 16.2, the Security shall become immediately enforceable and the Lender may take such action or proceedings as the Lender, in its sole discretion, deems expedient to enforce the same, all without any additional notice, presentment, demand, protest or other formality, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower.

16.5

Saving

The Lender shall not be under any obligation to the Borrowers or any other Person to realize any collateral or enforce the Security or any part thereof or to allow any collateral to be sold, dealt with or otherwise disposed of.  The Lender shall not be responsible or liable to the Borrowers or any other Person for any loss or damage upon the realization or enforcement of, or the failure to realize or enforce, any collateral or any part thereof or the failure to allow any collateral to be sold, dealt with or otherwise disposed of, or for any act or omission on their respective parts or on the part of any director, officer, agent, servant or adviser in connection with any of the foregoing, except that the Lender will be responsible or liable for any loss or damage arising from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Lender in enforcing the Security.


 

EXHIBIT 10.1

16.6

Perform Obligations

If, after the Lender makes a declaration contemplated by Section 16.2 (or after such declaration is deemed to be made), the Borrowers have failed to perform any of their covenants or agreements in the Credit Documents, the Lender, may, but shall be under no obligation to, perform any such covenants or agreements in any manner deemed fit by the Lender without thereby waiving any rights to enforce the Credit Documents.  The reasonable expenses (including any legal costs) paid by the Lender in respect of the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the Security.

16.7

Third Parties

No Person dealing with the Lender or any agent of the Lender shall be concerned to inquire whether the Security has become enforceable, or whether the powers which the Lender is purporting to exercise have been exercisable, or whether any Obligations remain outstanding upon the security thereof, or as to the necessity or expediency of the stipulations and conditions subject to which any sale shall be made, or otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of any sale or other disposition or any other dealing with the collateral charged by such Security or any part thereof.

16.8

Remedies Cumulative

The rights and remedies of the Lender under the Credit Documents are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by law.  Any single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any term, covenant, condition or agreement herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of or to alter, affect, or prejudice any other right or remedy or other rights or remedies to which the Lender may be lawfully entitled for the same default or breach.  Any waiver by the Lender of the strict observance, performance or compliance with any term, covenant, condition or agreement herein contained, and any indulgence granted by the Lender, shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any subsequent default.

16.9

Set-Off or Compensation

In addition to and not in limitation of any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Laws, the Lender may at any time and from time to time without notice to any Borrower or any other Person, any notice being expressly waived by each Borrower, set-off, combine accounts and compensate and apply any and all deposits, general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, matured or unmatured, in any currency, and any other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit of or the account of a Borrower, against and on account of the Obligations, notwithstanding that any of them are contingent or unmatured.  When applying a deposit or other amount owing to the Lender in a currency that is different than the currency of the Obligations, the Lender will convert the deposit or other amount using the Exchange Rate in effect at the time of such conversion.

Expenses and Indemnity

All statements, reports, certificates, opinions, appraisals and other documents or information required to be furnished to the Lender by the Borrowers (or any of them) or a Subsidiary under this Agreement shall be supplied without cost to the Lender.  The Borrowers shall pay on demand all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of the Lender (including, without limitation, long distance telephone and courier charges and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Lender), incurred in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, periodic review, modification or amendment of the Credit Documents; (ii) any enforcement of the Credit Documents; (iii) obtaining advice as to the rights and responsibilities of the Lender in connection with the Credits and the Credit Documents; (iv) reviewing, inspecting and appraising the collateral that is the subject of the Security in connection with the enforcement of its rights under the Security; (v) the repayment, prepayment or Conversion (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the stated maturity thereof; and (vi) other matters relating to the Credits, or any of them.  Such costs and expenses shall be payable whether or not an Advance is made under this Agreement.

Each Borrower shall indemnify the Lender against any liability, obligation, loss or expense which it may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any representation or warranty made by a Loan Party which was incorrect at the time it was made or deemed to have been made, (ii) a default by a Loan Party in the payment of any sum due from it (irrespective of whether an Advance is deemed to be made to the Borrowers to pay the amount that the Borrowers have failed to pay), including, but not limited to, all sums (whether in respect of principal, interest, or any other amount) paid or payable to lenders of funds borrowed by the Lender in order to fund the amount


 

EXHIBIT 10.1

of any such unpaid amount to the extent the Lender is not reimbursed pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Borrowers (or any of them) to complete any Advance or make any payment after notice therefore has been given under this Agreement, and (iv) any other default by any Loan Party under any Credit Document.  A certificate of the Lender as to the amount of any such loss or expense shall be conclusive evidence as to the amount thereof, in the absence of manifest error.

In addition, each Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and its directors, officers, employees and representatives (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all actions, proceedings, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, expenses and obligations of any kind that may be incurred by or asserted against any of them as a result of or in connection with the making of any Advance hereunder and the Lender taking, holding and enforcing the Security, other than arising from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Lender or any other Indemnified Party.  Whenever any such claim shall arise, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim, and if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the claim.  The failure of an Indemnified Party to give notice of a claim promptly shall not adversely affect the Indemnified Party's rights to indemnity hereunder unless such failure adversely effects the Borrowers' position in respect of such claim.

The Agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Obligations.

18.11

Manner of Payment and Taxes

All payments to be made by a Loan Party pursuant to the Credit Documents are to be made without set-off, compensation or counterclaim, free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any Tax, including but not limited to withholding taxes, except for Taxes on the overall net income of the Lender (such taxes applicable to the overall net income of the Lender are herein referred to as "Excluded Taxes").  If any Tax, other than Excluded Taxes, is deducted or withheld from any payments under the Credit Documents the Loan Parties shall promptly remit to the Lender in the currency in which such payment was made, the equivalent of the amount of Tax so deducted or withheld together with the relevant receipt addressed to the Lender.  If a Borrower or any other Loan Party is prevented by operation of law or otherwise from paying, causing to be paid or remitting such Tax, the interest or other amount payable under the Credit Documents will be increased to such rates as are necessary to yield and remit to the Lender the principal sum advanced or made available together with interest at the rates specified in the Credit Documents after provision for payment of such Tax.  If following the making of any payment by a Borrower or other Loan Party, as applicable, under this Section 18.11, the Lender is granted a credit against or refund in respect of any Tax payable by it in respect of such Taxes to which such payment by such Borrower or such other Loan Party relates that the Lender would not have received had the Borrowers or such other Loan Party not made the payment, the Lender shall (subject to such Borrower having paid the relevant amount) to the extent that it is satisfied that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit or refund, reimburse such Borrower or such other Loan Party such amount as the Lender shall certify to be the proportion of such credit or refund as will leave the Lender, after such reimbursement, in no worse or better position than it would have been in if the relevant Taxes had not been imposed, or the relevant Taxes had not been deducted or withheld in respect of the payment by such Borrower or such other Loan Party as


 

EXHIBIT 10.1

aforesaid.  The Lender shall, at the Borrowers' request and cost, file such documentation and do such commercially reasonably things as may be necessary to obtain such credit or refund, but the Lender shall not be obligated to disclose any information to the Borrowers or any other Person concerning its income or taxes that is not otherwise publicly available.

If a Borrower or any other Loan Party makes any payment under this Section for the account of the Lender, the Lender shall take reasonable steps to minimize the net amount payable by such Borrower or such other Loan Party under this Section, but the Lender shall not be obliged to disclose any information to the Borrowers or such other Loan Party concerning its income or taxes that is not otherwise publicly available.

18.12

Increased Costs

If the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, or any change in its application to a Borrower or the Lender of, any law or any regulation or guideline from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including but not limited to any reserve or special deposit requirement or any Taxes or exemption from any tax or any capital requirement (each of the foregoing events shall be referred to as a "Change in Law"), has, due to the compliance by the Lender therewith, the effect, directly or indirectly, of (i) increasing the cost to the Lender of performing its obligations hereunder; (ii) reducing any amount received or receivable by the Lender hereunder or its effective return hereunder or on its capital; or (iii) causing the Lender to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable by the Lender hereunder, then upon demand from time to time the Borrowers shall pay such amount as shall compensate the Lender for any such cost, reduction, payment or foregone return that is not fully offset by an increase in the applicable interest rate or rates or fees hereunder (collectively, the "Additional Compensation"). Any certificate of the Lender in respect of the foregoing will be conclusive evidence of the Additional Compensation owing by the Borrowers to the Lender, except for manifest error.  The Lender shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize any and all increased costs contemplated by this Section 18.12.

18.21
