Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Amendment to Senior Credit Facilities

 

On January 6, 2017, BioScrip, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a sixth amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to its credit agreement dated as of July 31, 2013, with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”), Jefferies Finance LLC and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as amended on December 23, 2013, January 31, 2014, March 1, 2015, August 6, 2015 and October 9, 2015 (the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Sixth Amendment amended the Senior Credit Facilities to, among other things, (a) permanently reduce the revolving commitments in accordance with a schedule set forth therein and prohibit further revolving borrowings, (b) require the cash collateralization of letters of credit issued thereunder, (c) increase the interest rate for loans outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities and require a portion of accrued interest at the increased rate to be paid-in-kind, (d) permit the Company and its subsidiaries to enter into the Priming Credit Agreement (as defined below), which provides the Company with an aggregate borrowing commitment of $25,000,000, to be fully drawn at closing, and permit the Company to incur the obligations thereunder and to subordinate the liens securing the Senior Credit Facilities to the liens securing the obligations under the Priming Credit Agreement, and (e) amend certain covenants, including by (i) increasing the consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio covenant, (ii) adding a minimum EBITDA covenant, to be tested quarterly, and (iii) otherwise restricting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness and make additional significant investments or acquisitions.

 

A copy of the Sixth Amendment, including the schedules and other attachments thereto, is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The foregoing description of the Sixth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sixth Amendment.

 

Priming Credit Agreement

 

On January 6, 2017, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “Priming Credit Agreement”) with certain existing lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities and SunTrust, as administrative agent for itself and the lenders. The Priming Credit Agreement provides an aggregate borrowing commitment of $25,000,000, which will be fully drawn at closing. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the borrowing under the Priming Credit Agreement (i) to permanently prepay a portion of the outstanding revolving loan balance under the Senior Credit Facilities, (ii) to cash collateralize letters of credit issued under the Senior Credit Facilities, (iii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the execution and delivery of the Priming Credit Agreement and the Sixth Amendment, and (iv) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

The Company will pay interest on the outstanding loans under the Priming Credit Agreement at a rate of 10% per annum, and accrued interest will be payable in cash monthly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal month. The obligations under the Priming Credit Agreement are not subject to scheduled amortization installments, and all outstanding obligations will mature and be due and payable in full in cash on July 31, 2018. The occurrence of certain events of default may increase the applicable rate of interest by 2% and could result in the acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the Priming Credit Agreement prior to stated maturity.

 

The Priming Credit Agreement contains mandatory prepayments, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, financial covenants and events of default that are substantially identical to the corresponding provisions of the Senior Credit Facilities. In addition, the obligations under the Priming Credit Agreement are guaranteed by joint and several guarantees from the Company’s subsidiaries and secured by a security interest on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

The payment obligations under the Priming Credit Agreement rank pari passu in right of payment with the payment obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities. Upon the occurrence of certain mandatory prepayment events, the Company is required to apply the net proceeds thereof, first, to the permanent prepayment of outstanding revolving loans under the Senior Credit Facilities until paid in full, next, to the permanent prepayment of outstanding term loans under the Senior Credit Facilities until paid in full, and, last, to the permanent prepayment of outstanding loans under the Priming Credit Agreement.

 

 

 

 

The liens securing the obligations under the Priming Credit Agreement rank senior in priority to the liens securing the obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities. In connection with the Sixth Amendment and the Priming Credit Agreement, the Company, SunTrust, as the administrative agent for the Senior Credit Facilities, and SunTrust, as the administrative agent under the Priming Credit Agreement, entered into an intercreditor agreement containing customary provisions to subordinate the lien priority of the liens granted under the Senior Credit Facilities to the liens granted under the Priming Credit Agreement.

 

In connection with entering into the Sixth Amendment and the Priming Credit Agreement, the Company provided disclosure schedules with updated information on certain assets, properties, operations and other matters, including an update on the breach of contract litigation in the Court of Chancery between the Company and Walgreens. These updates can be found in the schedules and other attachments to the Priming Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The foregoing description of the Priming Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Priming Credit Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the Administrative Agent and the undersigned Lenders (which constitute the Required Lenders) hereby waive the Existing Default as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date. This waiver is limited to the Existing Default and shall not operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default which may now exist or be hereafter arising, shall not constitute a continuing waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement, or otherwise impair any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to any Defaults or Events of Default other than the Existing Default, all of which are hereby expressly reserved.

 

(b)           Amendments to Credit Agreement. Effective as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date,

(b)          On the date hereof, after giving effect hereto, including the waiver of the Existing Default, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from giving effect to the terms hereof.

 

(c)          The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment are within such Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational and, if required, shareholder, partner or member action.

 

(d)          This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

Within 60 days of the date hereof (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in writing), with respect to the leased property of the Loan Parties located at 1600 Broadway, Suite 700, Denver, CO 80202, Borrower shall have delivered or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent a copy of the underlying lease and a Collateral Access Agreement from the landlord of such leased property; provided that if such Loan Party is unable to deliver any such Collateral Access Agreement after using its commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the Administrative Agent shall waive the foregoing requirement in its reasonable discretion.

Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein, the amendments set forth herein shall have prospective application only from and after the date of this Amendment.

 

 4 

 

 

(c)            No Novation or Mutual Departure. The Loan Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) there has not been, and this Amendment does not constitute or establish, a novation with respect to the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or a mutual departure from the strict terms, provisions, and conditions thereof, other than with respect to the amendments contained in Section 2 above and (ii) nothing in this Amendment shall affect or limit the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s right to demand payment of liabilities owing from any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under, or to demand strict performance of the terms, provisions, and conditions of, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to exercise any and all rights, powers, and remedies under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, or to do any and all of the foregoing, immediately at any time after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or in any other Loan Document, after giving effect to this Amendment the benefits, guarantees or security interest provided to the Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Amendment, any Loan Document or any other document and the exercise of any right or remedy by any Lender and/or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document and all other provisions hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and other documents related thereto shall be subject to the provisions of each intercreditor agreement entered into by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations (including, without limitation, the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement). In the event of any conflict between the terms of such intercreditor agreements, the other Loan Documents and any other document, the terms of such intercreditor agreements shall govern and control and any representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations (including with respect to the priority of liens and security interests) shall be read in a manner which is consistent with the obligations and the respective priorities with respect to the Collateral as set forth in such intercreditor agreements.

 

(d)           Ratification. The Borrower hereby restates, ratifies, and reaffirms each and every term, covenant, and condition set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party (as such terms, covenants, and conditions are amended, waived, modified and/or supplemented by Section 2 above and the other Loan Documents entered into in connection with this Amendment, including the Priming/Existing Intercreditor Agreement) effective as of the date hereof.

 

(e)           No Offset. To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment and to continue to make advances pursuant to the Credit Agreement (subject to the terms and conditions thereof), each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the terms hereof, there exists no right of offset, defense, counterclaim, claim, or objection in favor of any Loan Party or arising out of or with respect to any of the Loans or other obligations of any Loan Party owed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

(f)            Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

(g)           Fax or Other Transmission. Delivery by one or more parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Amendment via facsimile, telecopy, or other electronic method of transmission pursuant to which the signature of such party can be seen (including, without limitation, Adobe Corporation’s Portable Document Format) shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or binding effect of this Amendment.

 

(h)          Recitals Incorporated Herein. The preamble and the recitals to this Amendment are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.

 

 5 

 

 

(i)           Section References. Section titles and references used in this Amendment shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreements among the parties hereto evidenced hereby.

 

(j)            Further Assurances. The Borrower agrees to take, at the Borrower’s expense, such further actions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence the amendments set forth herein and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(k)            Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York but excluding any principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York.

 

(l)            Severability. Any provision of this Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

(m)          Reaffirmation of Guarantors. Each Guarantor (i) consents to the execution and delivery of this Amendment, (ii) reaffirms all of its obligations and covenants under the Guaranty and Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as otherwise expressly amended by this Amendment and by the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement) to which it is a party, and (iii) agrees that none of its respective obligations and covenants shall be reduced or limited by the execution and delivery of this Amendment.

 

(n)          Additional Acknowledgment. Solely for purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the date hereof, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Required Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loan Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471- 2(b)(2)(i).

Section 2.4           Swingline Commitment.

 

(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Swingline Loans to the Borrower, from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Swingline Commitment then in effect and (ii) the difference between the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount and the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. The Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(b)          The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Swingline Borrowing, substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.4 attached hereto (a “Notice of Swingline Borrowing”), prior to 12:00 p.m. on the requested date of each Swingline Borrowing. Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount of such Swingline Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Swingline Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Swingline Borrowing should be credited. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of each Notice of Swingline Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Swingline Loan shall not be less than $100,000 or a larger multiple of $50,000, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. The Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars in immediately available funds at the account specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Swingline Borrowing not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested date of such Swingline Borrowing.

 

(c)          The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, may, but in no event no less frequently than once each calendar week shall, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf solely for such purpose), give a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender) to make Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of any Swingline Loan. Each Lender will make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in accordance with Section 2.6, which will be used solely for the repayment of such Swingline Loan.

 

(d)          If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof on the date that such Base Rate Borrowing should have occurred. On the date of such required purchase, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participating interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender.

 

(e)          Each Lender’s obligation to make a Base Rate Loan pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section or to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of any event or condition which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof (x) at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (y) at the Base Rate at all times thereafter. Until such time as such Lender makes its required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of the unpaid participation for all purposes of the Loan Documents. In addition, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Swingline Lender to fund the amount of such Lender’s participation interest in such Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to fund pursuant to this Section, until such amount has been purchased in full.

 

 41 

 

 

Section 2.5           Term B Loan Commitments.

 

(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make a single term b loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount equal to the Initial Term B Loan Commitment of such Lender. The Initial Term B Loans may be, from time to time, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans or a combination thereof; provided that on the Closing Date all Initial Term B Loans shall be Base Rate Loans. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Borrower and the satisfaction or waiver by the Administrative Agent of all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1 shall be deemed to constitute the Borrower’s request to borrow the Initial Term B Loans on the Closing Date. Once repaid, Initial Term B Loans under the Term B Loan Commitment may not be reborrowed.

 

(b)          Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make a single term b loan to the Borrower on the DDTL Date in a principal amount not to exceed the DDTL Commitment of such Lender; provided, that if for any reason the full amount of such Lender’s DDTL Commitment is not fully drawn on the DDTL Commitment Termination Date, the undrawn portion thereof shall automatically be cancelled. The DDT Loans may be, from time to time, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans or a combination thereof. Once repaid, DDT Loans under the DDTL Commitment may not be reborrowed.

 

Section 2.6           Funding of Borrowings.

 

(a)          Each Lender will make available each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer in immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m. to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office; provided that the Swingline Loans will be made as set forth in Section 2.4. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts that it receives, in like funds by the close of business on such proposed date, to an account maintained by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent or, at the Borrower’s option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to 5:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the date of a Borrowing in which such Lender is to participate 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 amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest (x) at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (y) at the Base Rate at all times thereafter. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay as immediately as practicably possible such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest at the rate specified for such Borrowing. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

 

 42 

 

 

(c)          All Revolving Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders on the basis of their respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make its Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

 

Section 2.7           Interest Elections.

 

(a)          Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing into a different Type or to continue such Borrowing, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower 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 Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

 

(b)          To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing that is to be converted or continued, as the case may be, substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.7 attached hereto (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) (x) prior to 12:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of a conversion into a Base Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to 12:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days prior to a continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar Borrowing. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which such Notice of Conversion/Continuation applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing), (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Notice of Conversion/Continuation, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”. If any such Notice of Conversion/Continuation requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. The principal amount of any resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the minimum borrowing amount for Eurodollar Borrowings and Base Rate Borrowings set forth in Section 2.3.

 

(c)          If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing to a Base Rate Borrowing. No Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default exists, unless the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing. No conversion of any Eurodollar Loan shall be permitted except on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.

 

(d)          Upon receipt of any Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

Unless previously terminated, all DDTL Commitments shall terminate on the DDTL Commitment Termination Date.

 

(b)          Upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable, provided that such notice (x) may be conditioned upon the happening of an event, in which case, such notice may be revoked to the extent that such event does not occur and (y) may be modified to extend the proposed effective date of such reduction or termination, if any, specified therein), the Borrower may reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the DDTL Commitments in part or terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the DDTL Commitments in whole; provided that (i) any partial reduction shall apply to reduce proportionately and permanently the Revolving Commitment or DDTL Commitment, as applicable, of each Lender, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section shall be in an amount of at least $5,000,000 and any larger multiple of $1,000,000, and (iii) no such reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be permitted which would reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount to an amount less than the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders. Any such reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount below the principal amount of the Swingline Commitment or the LC Commitment shall result in a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Swingline Commitment or the LC Commitment, as the case may be.

 

(c)          With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may terminate (on a non-ratable basis) the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender, and in such event the provisions of Section 2.26 will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of any such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

 

(d)          The Aggregate Revolving Commitment (and each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof) shall be automatically reduced on the dates set forth in the table below to the respective amounts provided therein corresponding to such dates.

 

Date of Commitment Reduction  Aggregate Revolving Commitment 
January 6, 2017  $58,949,351

October 31, 2017  $46,300,000 
February 28, 2018  $41,300,000 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, Section 2.12(e) shall be applicable immediately after any reduction pursuant to this Section 2.8(d).

 

 44 

 

 

Section 2.9           Repayment of Loans.

 

(a)          The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans shall be due and payable (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

 

(b)          The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Term B Loan of such Lender on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each Fiscal Year prior to the Maturity Date, commencing on December 31, 2013, in equal consecutive quarterly installments in an aggregate amount for each such quarterly installment equal to one and one quarter of one percent (1.25%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B Loans funded on the Closing Date (as adjusted to reflect (i) the funding of any Incremental Term B Loans in accordance with Section 2.23 (other than Incremental Term B Loans that are Non-Conforming Credit Extensions), (ii) the funding of the DDT Loans in accordance with Section 2.5(b), and (iii) prepayments of Term B Loans in accordance with this Agreement); provided that, to the extent not previously paid, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Term B Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 

Section 2.10         Evidence of Indebtedness.

 

(a)          Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate records evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain appropriate records in which shall be recorded (i) the Revolving Commitment and the Term B Loan Commitments of each Lender, (ii) the amount of each Loan made hereunder by each Lender, the Class and Type thereof and, in the case of each Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the date of any continuation of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.7, (iv) the date of any conversion of all or a portion of any Loan to another Type pursuant to Section 2.7, (v) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans and (vi) both the date and amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower in respect of the Loans and each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. The entries made in such records shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided that the failure or delay of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in maintaining or making entries into any such record or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans (both principal and unpaid accrued interest) of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)          This Agreement evidences the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and is being executed as a “noteless” credit agreement. However, at the request of any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) at any time, the Borrower agrees that it will prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment permitted hereunder) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.11         Optional Prepayments; Prepayment Premium.

 

(a)          Subject to Section 2.11(b), the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by giving written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent no later than (i) in the case of any prepayment of any Eurodollar Borrowing, 11:00 a.m. not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, (ii) in the case of any prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing, not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, and (iii) in the case of any prepayment of any Swingline Borrowing, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable (provided that such notice (x) may be conditioned upon the happening of an event, in which case, such notice may be revoked to the extent that such event does not occur and (y) may be modified to extend the proposed date of such prepayment specified therein) and shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on the principal amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13(d); provided that if a Eurodollar Borrowing is prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.19. Each partial prepayment of any Loan shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type pursuant to Section 2.2 or, in the case of a Swingline Loan, pursuant to Section 2.4. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.12(d) and, as applicable, shall permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

 

(b)          In the event that, on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the Borrower consummates a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, (i) in the case of the type of Repricing Transaction set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof, a prepayment premium of 1% of the amount of the Initial Term Loans and DDT Loans being prepaid, repaid or refinanced and (ii) in the case of the type of Repricing Transaction set forth in clause (b) of the definition thereof, a fee equal to 1% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Initial Term B Loans and DDT Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment (any amounts payable under the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), the “Prepayment Premium”).

 

Section 2.12         Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(a)          Promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate during any Fiscal Year from any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to such excess Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that, no prepayment under this Section 2.12(a) shall be required with respect to (i) Non-Core Assets that are sold in accordance with Section 7.6(e) and (ii) Net Cash Proceeds from any other Prepayment Event so long as (with respect to this clause (ii) only) no Event of Default is in existence at the time of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, at the election of the Borrower, to the extent that such proceeds are reinvested in the business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries within 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) following receipt thereof or committed to be reinvested pursuant to a binding contract prior to the expiration of such 365 day (or 366 day in a leap year) period and actually reinvested within 180 days after the date of such binding contract. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

 

 46 

 

 

(b)          Promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds from any issuance of Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Indebtedness that is not prohibited to be issued or incurred hereunder), the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to all such Net Cash Proceeds. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

 

(c)          Commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2014, no later than ten (10) days after the date on which the Borrower’s annual audited financial statements for such Fiscal Year are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(a), (i) to the extent that the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is greater than or equal to 3.50:1.00, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to (x) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year minus (y) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of the Term B Loans, the Revolving Loans (other than the voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date) and the Priming Revolving Loans made during such Fiscal Year (excluding payments in respect of the Revolving Loans and the Priming Revolving Loans unless there is an equivalent permanent reduction in commitments thereunder), and (ii) to the extent that the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is less than 3.50:1.00, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to 0% of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. Any such prepayment shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, certifying in reasonable detail the manner in which Excess Cash Flow and the resulting prepayment were calculated, which certificate shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(d)          Any prepayments made by the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section or pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied as follows: first, to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitments; second, to the outstanding principal balance of the Term B Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, pro rata to the Lenders based on their Pro Rata Shares of the Term B Loans, and applied first to the immediately succeeding eight (8) scheduled installments of the Term B Loans on a pro rata basis and thereafter to the remaining scheduled installments of the Term B Loans on a pro rata basis (including, without limitation, the final payment due on the Maturity Date); and third, to the outstanding principal balance of the Priming Revolving Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, to the Priming Lenders. The Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall be permanently reduced by the amount of any prepayments made pursuant to clause first above.

 

(e)          If at any time the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount, as reduced pursuant to Section 2.8 or otherwise, the Borrower shall repay as immediately as practicably possible the Swingline Loans and the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such excess amount and any amounts due under Section 2.19. Each prepayment shall be applied as follows: first, to the Swingline Loans to the full extent thereof; second, to the Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof; and third, to the Eurodollar Loans to the full extent thereof.

 

Section 2.13         Interest on Loans.

 

(a)          The Borrower shall pay interest on (i) each Base Rate Loan at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time (the “Base Rate Interest Rate”) and (ii) each Eurodollar Loan at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time (the “Eurodollar Interest Rate); provided that, in each case, a portion of the accrued and unpaid interest for any period equal to the rate of 2.75% per annum shall be paid in kind and be capitalized on each interest payment date set forth in Section 2.13(d) by adding such amount to the outstanding principal amount of such Base Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan, as applicable.

 

 47 

 

 

(b)          The Borrower shall pay interest on each Swingline Loan at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for a Revolving Base Rate Loan in effect from time to time.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section, at the written request of the Required Lenders if a Triggering Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and automatically after acceleration of the Obligations or in connection with any Event of Default of the type described in Section 8.1(g) or 8.1(h), the Borrower shall pay interest (“Default Interest”) (i) with respect to all Eurodollar Loans, at a rate per annum equal to 200 basis points above the otherwise applicable Eurodollar Interest Rate until the last day of such Interest Period, and thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to 200 basis points above the otherwise applicable Base Rate Interest Rate and (ii) with respect to all Base Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to 200 basis points above the otherwise applicable Base Rate Interest Rate, in each case, until such Triggering Event of Default has been waived in writing or the Required Lenders have revoked the imposition of Default Interest (whichever occurs first).

 

(d)          Interest on the outstanding principal amount of all Loans shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are made to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof. Interest on all outstanding Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Interest on any Eurodollar Loan which is converted into a Loan of another Type or which is repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such conversion or on the date of any such repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. All Default Interest shall be payable on demand.

 

(e)          The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

Section 2.14         Fees.

 

(a)          The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)          The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the daily amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the Availability Period. For purposes of computing the commitment fee, the Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure, but not Swingline Exposure, of such Lender.

 

(c)          The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable DDTL Ticking Fee Rate on the daily amount of the unused DDTL Commitment of such Lender during the period from (and including) the Closing Date through (and including) the DDTL Commitment Termination Date.

 

 48 

 

 

(d)          The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a letter of credit fee with respect to its participation in each Letter of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Revolving Loans then in effect on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the date on which such Letter of Credit expires or is drawn in full (including, without limitation, any LC Exposure that remains outstanding after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the Availability Period, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Lenders elect to increase the interest rate on the Loans to the rate for Default Interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c), the rate per annum used to calculate the letter of credit fee pursuant to clause (i) above shall automatically be increased by 200 basis points.

 

(e)          The Borrower shall pay on the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent and its affiliates all fees in the Fee Letters that are due and payable on the Closing Date.

 

(f)          Accrued fees under subsections (b) and (d) of this Section shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2013, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (and, if later, the date the Loans and LC Exposure shall be repaid in their entirety); provided that any such fees accruing after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall be payable on demand. Accrued fees under subsection (c) of this Section shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2013, and on the DDTL Commitment Termination Date.

 

Section 2.15         Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest hereunder based on the Administrative Agent’s prime lending rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and all fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate hereunder.

 

Section 2.16         Inability to Determine Interest Rates. If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing:

 

(i)          the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or

 

(ii)         the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period,

 

the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower prepays such Loans in accordance with this Agreement. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before the date of any Eurodollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation has previously been given that it elects not to borrow, continue or convert to a Eurodollar Borrowing on such date, then such Revolving Borrowing shall be made as, continued as or converted into a Base Rate Borrowing.

 

 49 

 

 

Section 2.17         Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Lender’s Revolving Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same Revolving Borrowing for the same Interest Period and, if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

 

Section 2.18         Increased Costs.

 

(a)          If any Change in Law shall:

 

(i)          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

 

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

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in or issuing any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount),

 

then, from time to time, such Lender or the Issuing Bank may provide the Borrower (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) with written notice and demand with respect to such increased costs or reduced amounts, and within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice and demand the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank for any such increased costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

 50 

 

 

(b)          If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital (or on the capital of the Parent Company of such Lender or the Issuing Bank) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Parent Company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies or the policies of such Parent Company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, from time to time, such Lender or the Issuing Bank may provide the Borrower (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) with written notice and demand with respect to such reduced amounts, and within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice and demand the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Parent Company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)          A certificate of such Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Parent Company of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(d)          Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

Section 2.19         Funding Indemnity. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from such Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period if the Adjusted LIBO Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid or converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar Loan. A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

Section 2.20         Taxes.

 

(a)          Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deduction and timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other Loan Party, as applicable, shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

 

 51 

 

 

(b)          In addition, without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(c)          The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient (and, with respect to U.S. federal withholding taxes, if such Recipient is not the Beneficial Owner, the Beneficial Owner), within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by such Recipient (or Beneficial Owner) on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 Borrower by the applicable Recipient (for its own account or on behalf of one or more Beneficial Owners) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(d)          As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower or other Loan Party, as applicable, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an 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)          If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund, or a credit in lieu of a refund, of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.20(e) shall not be construed to require a Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

(f)          Tax Forms.

 

(i)          Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

 

 52 

 

 

(ii)         Any Lender that is a Foreign Person and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Code or any treaty to which the United States is a party with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is a Foreign Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, (w) on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this subsection, and (z) from time to time upon the reasonable request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(A)         if such Lender is claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any successor form thereto, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty, and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any successor form thereto, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

(B)         duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the payments received by such Lender are effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

 

(C)         if such Lender is claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any successor form thereto, together with a certificate (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) upon which such Lender certifies that (1) such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, or the obligation of the Borrower hereunder is not, with respect to such Lender, a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, within the meaning of that Section, (2) such Lender is not a 10% shareholder of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (3) such Lender is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (4) the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by such Lender; or

 

(D)         if such Lender is not the Beneficial Owner (for example, a partnership or a participating Lender granting a typical participation), duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, or any successor form thereto, accompanied by IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, and/or other certification documents from each Beneficial Owner, as applicable.

 

 53 

 

 

(iii)        Each Lender that is a Foreign Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 

(iv)        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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment; provided, that solely for purposes of this clause (E), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

(v)         Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender shall update such form or certification; however, if such Lender is not legally entitled to provide an updated form or certification, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to update such form or certification.

 

Section 2.21         Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

 

(a)          The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off, counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of taxes. 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 the Payment Office, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

(b)          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 as follows: first, to all fees and reimbursable expenses of the Administrative Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to all reimbursable expenses of the Lenders and all fees and reimbursable expenses of the Issuing Bank then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, pro rata to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank based on their respective pro rata shares of such fees and expenses; third, to all accrued interest and fees then due and payable hereunder, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective pro rata shares of such interest and fees; and fourth, to all principal of the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due and payable hereunder, pro rata to the parties entitled thereto based on their respective pro rata shares of such principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements.

 

(c)          If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Credit Exposure, Term B Loans and accrued interest and fees thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with respect to its Revolving Credit Exposure or Term B Loans, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Credit Exposure and Term B Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary 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 Revolving Credit Exposure and Term B Loans; 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 subsection shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the 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 any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Credit Exposure or Term B Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

(d)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount or amounts due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 2.22         Letters of Credit.

 

(a)          During the Availability Period, the Issuing Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders pursuant to subsections (d) and (e) of this Section, may, in its sole discretion, issue, at the request of the Borrower, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; provided that (i) each Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (A) one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; (ii) each Letter of Credit shall be in a stated amount of at least $100,000; and (iii) the Borrower may not request any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (x) the aggregate LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or (y) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount. Each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank without recourse a participation in each Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance. Each issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the Revolving Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation.

 

(b)          To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or any amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such issuance specifying the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of Credit is to be issued (or amended, renewed or extended, as the case may be), the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition to the satisfaction or waiver in writing of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3, the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or any amendment which increases the amount of such Letter of Credit) will be subject to the further conditions that such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as the Issuing Bank shall approve and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered any additional applications, agreements and instruments relating to such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require; provided that in the event of any conflict between such applications, agreements or instruments and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

 

(c)          At least two (2) Business Days prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received such notice, and, if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent, on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date the Issuing Bank is to issue the requested Letter of Credit, directing the Issuing Bank not to issue the Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted hereunder because of the limitations set forth in subsection (a) of this Section or that one or more conditions specified in Section 3.3 are not then satisfied or waived in writing, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue such Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices.

 

(d)          The Issuing Bank shall examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit promptly following its receipt thereof. The Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to such LC Disbursement. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such drawing without presentment, demand or other formalities of any kind. Any such LC Disbursement will be reimbursed first with the proceeds of the LC Cash Collateral Account. If amounts on deposit the LC Cash Collateral Account are not sufficient to reimburse the Issuing Bank in full for any such LC Disbursement then, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount by which such LC Disbursement exceeds the amount of funds in the LC Cash Collateral Account, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make a Base Rate Borrowing on the date on which such drawing is honored in an exact amount due to the Issuing Bank; provided that for purposes solely of such Borrowing, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.3 hereof shall not be applicable. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3, and each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.6. The proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement .

 

 56 

 

 

(e)          If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) shall be obligated to fund the participation that such Lender purchased pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such LC Disbursement on and as of the date which such Base Rate Borrowing should have occurred. Each Lender’s obligation to fund its participation shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any other Person may have against the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrower or any other Lender, (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. On the date that such participation is required to be funded, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank. Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has received from any such Lender the funds for its participation in a LC Disbursement, the Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) receives any payment on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment; provided that if such payment is required to be returned for any reason to the Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or similar official in any bankruptcy proceeding, such Lender will return to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank any portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to it.

 

(f)          To the extent that any Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to subsection (d) or (e) of this Section on the due date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest to the Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) on such amount from such due date to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate; provided that if such Lender shall fail to make such payment to the Issuing Bank within three (3) Business Days of such due date, then, retroactively to the due date, such Lender shall be obligated to pay interest on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 2.13(c).

 

(g)           [Reserved].

 

(h)          Upon the request of any Lender, but no more frequently than quarterly, the Issuing Bank shall deliver (through the Administrative Agent) to each Lender and the Borrower a report describing the aggregate Letters of Credit then outstanding. Upon the request of any Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Lender any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding.

 

(i)          The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any of the following circumstances:

 

 57 

 

 

(i)          any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement;

 

(ii)         the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), any Lender (including the Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

 

(iii)        any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

 

(iv)        payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document to the Issuing Bank that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

 

(v)         any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; or

 

(vi)        the existence of a Default or an Event of Default.

 

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender nor any Related Party of any of the foregoing shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to above), 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), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any actual direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect (including claims for lost profits or other consequential damages), or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise due care when determining whether drafts or 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 the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised due care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

 

 58 

 

 

(j)          Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued and subject to applicable laws, (i) each standby Letter of Credit shall be governed by the “International Standby Practices 1998” (ISP98) (or such later revision as may be published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice on any date any Letter of Credit may be issued), (ii) each documentary Letter of Credit shall be governed by the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (or such later revision as may be published by the International Chamber of Commerce on any date any Letter of Credit may be issued) and (iii) the Borrower shall specify the foregoing in each letter of credit application submitted for the issuance of a Letter of Credit.

 

(k)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22, on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall deposit in an account maintained at the Administrative Agent (the “LC Cash Collateral Account”) $4,881,818.55 and shall assign such account to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Assignment of Deposit. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to make withdrawals from the LC Cash Collateral Account. The Borrower agrees to execute any documents and/or certificates to effectuate the intent of this subsection. 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 Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements in accordance with Section 2.14(d) and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, with the consent of the Required Lenders, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Promptly following expiration (without amendment or renewal) of each undrawn Existing Letter of Credit, the amount of cash collateral held in the LC Cash Collateral Account in respect of such expired Existing Letter of Credit shall be directed as follows: first, to provide cash collateral for letters of credit issued to replace such Existing Letter of Credit pursuant to a wire transfer made directly by the Administrative Agent into the applicable cash collateral account pursuant to instructions provided by the Borrower, and second, to prepay the outstanding Revolving Loans.

 

Section 2.23         Incremental Commitments; Additional Lenders.

 

(a)          From time to time after the Closing Date and prior to the Sixth Amendment Effective Date and in accordance with this Section, the Borrower and one or more Increasing Lenders or Additional Lenders (each as defined below) may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to establish incremental Term B Loan Commitments hereunder (each such incremental commitment, an “Incremental Commitment”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

 

(i)          the aggregate principal amount of all such Incremental Commitments made pursuant to this Section shall not exceed an unlimited additional amount of Indebtedness, such that, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness (and the use of proceeds thereof), the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (whether or not then in effect) shall not exceed 4.00:1.00;

 

(ii)         the Borrower shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in connection with and at the time of any such proposed increase in order to evidence the terms of such Incremental Commitment and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions for the incurrence of such Incremental Commitment set forth in this Section;

 

 59 

 

 

(iii)        at the time of and immediately after giving effect to any such proposed increase, no Event of Default shall exist and all other conditions set forth in Section 3.3 shall have been satisfied or waived in writing;

 

(iv)        any incremental Term B Loans made pursuant to this Section (the “Incremental Term B Loans”) shall have a final stated maturity date that is no earlier than the date set forth in clause (i) of the definition of “Maturity Date” and shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term B Loans made pursuant to Section 2.5;

 

(v)         [reserved];

 

(vi)        if the Effective Yield applicable to any such Incremental Term B Loans exceeds by more than 0.50% per annum the Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Term B Loans funded under the Revolving Commitments established on the Closing Date, as applicable (such excess, the “Excess Yield”), then the Applicable Margin applicable to the Initial Term B Loans or the existing Revolving Loans, as applicable, shall increase by an amount equal to the Excess Yield minus 0.50% per annum;

 

(vii)       all obligations under all Incremental Term B Loans shall constitute “senior obligations” or any equivalent term under all intercreditor agreements and subordination agreements entered into with respect to the Revolving Loans and the Term B Loans, including, without limitation, the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the ABDC Intercreditor Agreement and any subordination agreement entered into in connection with any Subordinated Debt;

 

(viii)      such Incremental Commitments and the Loans funded thereunder shall constitute “Existing Obligations” under the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement; and

 

(ix)         any Collateral securing any such Incremental Commitments shall also secure all other Obligations on a pari passu basis.

 

(b)          The Borrower shall provide at least 10 Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Lender) of any proposal to establish an Incremental Commitment. The Borrower may also, but is not required to, specify any fees offered to those Lenders (the “Increasing Lenders”) that agree to provide an Incremental Commitment, which fees may be variable based upon the principal amount of such Incremental Commitment, as applicable. Each Increasing Lender shall as soon as practicable, and in any case within 5 Business Days following receipt of such notice, specify in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the amount of such proposed Incremental Commitment that it is willing to provide. No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation, express or implied, to offer to provide an Incremental Commitment, and any decision by a Lender to provide an Incremental Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender. Only the consent of each Increasing Lender shall be required for the establishment of any Incremental Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to this Section. No Lender which declines to provide an Incremental Commitment may be replaced with respect to its existing Revolving Commitment and/or its Term B Loans, as applicable, as a result thereof without such Lender’s consent. If any Lender shall fail to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing about whether it will provide an Incremental Commitment within 5 Business Days after receipt of such notice, such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to provide the requested Incremental Commitment. The Borrower may accept some or all of the offered amounts or designate new lenders as additional Lenders hereunder in accordance with this Section (the “Additional Lenders”), which Additional Lenders may provide all or a portion of such Incremental Commitment. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have discretion jointly to adjust the allocation of such Incremental Term B Loans among the Increasing Lenders and the Additional Lenders. The sum of the principal amount of Incremental Commitments provided by Increasing Lenders plus the principal amount of Incremental Commitments provided by Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed portion of the maximum aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Commitments established pursuant to this Section.

 

 60 

 

 

(c)          Subject to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section, the establishment of any Incremental Commitment requested by the Borrower shall be effective upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of each of the following documents:

 

(i)          an originally executed copy of an instrument of joinder, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Borrower, by each Additional Lender and by each Increasing Lender, setting forth the new Revolving Commitments and/or new Term B Loan Commitments, as applicable, of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all of the terms and provisions hereof;

 

(ii)         such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to such Incremental Commitment and such customary opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to such Incremental Commitment as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request;

 

(iii)        a certificate of the Borrower signed by a Responsible Officer, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, certifying that each of the conditions in subsection (a) of this Section has been satisfied; and

 

(iv)        to the extent requested by any Additional Lender or any Increasing Lender, executed promissory notes evidencing such Incremental Term B Loans, issued by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.10.

 

Upon the effectiveness of any such Incremental Commitment, the Commitments and Pro Rata Share of each Lender will be adjusted to give effect to the Incremental Term B Loans, as applicable, and Schedule I shall automatically be deemed amended accordingly.

 

(d)          Subject to Section 2.23(a), if any Incremental Term B Loans are to have terms that are different from the Term B Loans outstanding immediately prior to such incurrence (any such Incremental Term B Loans, the “Non-Conforming Credit Extensions”), all such terms shall be as set forth in a separate assumption agreement among the Borrower, the Lenders providing such Incremental Term B Loans and the Administrative Agent, the execution and delivery of which agreement shall be a condition to the effectiveness of the Non-Conforming Credit Extensions. The scheduled principal payments on the Term B Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.9(b) shall be ratably increased after the making of any Incremental Term B Loans (other than Term B Loans that are Non-Conforming Credit Extensions) under this Section by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term B Loans. After the incurrence of any Non-Conforming Credit Extensions, unless otherwise directed by the Borrower, all optional prepayments of Term B Loans shall be allocated ratably between the then-outstanding Term B Loans and such Non-Conforming Credit Extensions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.2, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, collectively, are expressly permitted to amend the Loan Documents to the extent necessary to give effect to any Incremental Commitment pursuant to this Section and mechanical changes necessary or advisable in connection therewith (including amendments to implement the requirements in this Section 2.23(d) and amendments to ensure pro rata allocations of Eurodollar Loans and Base Rate Loans between Loans incurred pursuant to this Section and Loans outstanding immediately prior to any such incurrence) in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

 

 61 

 

 

Section 2.24         Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.18 or Section 2.20, 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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented (in summary form) costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or assignment.

 

Section 2.25         Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, (b) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.2(b), the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10.4(b)), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.20, as applicable) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender) (a “Replacement Lender”); provided that (i) if such Replacement Lender is to become a Revolving Lender or if an assignment of any Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Replacement Lender would otherwise require the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.4(b), the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of a claim for compensation under Section 2.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law, and (v) in the case of a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting 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 the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

Section 2.26         Defaulting Lenders.

 

(a)          Cash Collateral.

 

(i)          At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.26(b)(vi) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than 105% of the Issuing Bank’s LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender.

 

 62 

 

 

(ii)         The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (iii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the minimum amount required pursuant to clause (i) above, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

 

(iii)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.26(a) or Section 2.26(b) in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

 

(iv)        Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s LC Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.26(a) following the earliest to occur of (A) the elimination of the applicable LC Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), (B) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral and (C) the determination that the applicable Defaulting Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender; provided that, subject to Section 2.26(b) through (d) the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated LC Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

(b)          Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

 

(i)          Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 10.2.

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.26(b)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)        No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.14(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

 

(iv)        Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees pursuant to Section 2.14(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to that portion of its LC Exposure for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.26(a).

 

(v)         With respect to any Commitment Fee or letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (vi) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s LC Exposure or Swingline Lender’s Swingline Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

 

 64 

 

 

(vi)        All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 are satisfied or waived in writing at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

 

(vii)       If the reallocation described in clause (vi) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.26(a).

 

(c)          Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.26(b)(vi), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

(d)          New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no additional Swingline Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no additional LC Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 4.2           Organizational Power; Authorization.   The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party are within such Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational and, if required, shareholder, partner or member action. Each of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties party thereto and constitutes valid and binding obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party (as the case may be), enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

 

Section 4.3           Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts.

 

The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any action by, any Governmental Authority or any Person with respect to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has any Contractual Obligation, except those as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except for filings necessary to perfect or maintain perfection of the Liens created under the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any judgment, order or ruling of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any material Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its assets or give rise to a right thereunder to accelerate the obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries thereunder (whether accomplished by a mandatory prepayment, a redemption, or otherwise) and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens (if any) created under the Loan Documents.

Section 4.4           Financial Statements; Material Adverse Effect.

 

(a)          The Borrower has furnished to each Lender (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the related audited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the Fiscal Year then ended, prepared by Ernst & Young LLP and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2012, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the Fiscal Quarter and year-to-date period then ended, certified by a Responsible Officer. Such financial statements fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and the consolidated results of operations for such periods in conformity with GAAP (as in effect at the time such financial statements were prepared and subject to Section 1.3) consistently applied (except as expressly noted therein), subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii). The Projections delivered to the Administrative Agent in satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 3.1(b)(ix)(A) and all Profit Plans delivered to the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.1(e) have been prepared by the Borrower in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made; provided that it is expressly understood and agreed that financial projections (including the Projections and all Profit Plans) are inherently uncertain and are not a guarantee of financial performance and that actual results may differ from financial projections and such differences may be material.

 

(b)          Since December 31, 2012, there have been no changes with respect to, or event affecting, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which have had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 4.5           Litigation and Environmental Matters.

 

(a)          No litigation, investigation or proceeding (including any whistleblower action) of or before any arbitrators or Governmental Authorities is pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which in any manner draws into question the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

(b)          Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

 

Section 4.6           Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Except for non-compliance which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with (a) all Requirements of Law and all judgments, decrees and orders of any Governmental Authority and (b) all Material Agreements.

 

Section 4.7           Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an “investment company” or is “controlled” by an “investment company”, as such terms are defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and in effect from time to time, or (b) otherwise subject to any other regulatory scheme limiting its ability to incur debt or requiring any approval or consent from, or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority in connection therewith.

 

 74 

 

  

Section 4.8           Taxes.  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries and each other Person for whose taxes the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could become liable have timely filed or caused to be filed all Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by them, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made against it or its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority, except where the same are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of such taxes are adequate, and no tax liabilities that could be materially in excess of the amount so provided are anticipated.

 

Section 4.9           Margin Regulations.   None of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit will be used, directly or indirectly, for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of such terms under Regulation U or for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying “margin stock”.

 

Section 4.10         ERISA.   Each Plan is in substantial compliance in form and operation with its terms and with ERISA and the Code (including, without limitation, the Code provisions compliance with which is necessary for any intended favorable tax treatment) and all other applicable laws and regulations, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code covering all applicable tax law changes, or is comprised of a master or prototype plan that has received a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service, and nothing has occurred since the date of such determination that would adversely affect such determination (or, in the case of a Plan with no such determination, nothing has occurred that would adversely affect the issuance of a favorable determination letter or otherwise adversely affect such qualification), except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. There exists no Unfunded Pension Liability with respect to any Plan and no Plan is in, or is expected to be, in at risk status under Title IV of ERISA such that a Material Adverse Effect would be expected in the foreseeable future to occur with respect thereto. There are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving a Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate, threatened, which would reasonably be expected to be asserted successfully against any Plan and, if so asserted successfully, would reasonably be expected either singly or in the aggregate to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate have made all contributions to or under each Plan and Multiemployer Plan required by law within the applicable time limits prescribed thereby, by the terms of such Plan or Multiemployer Plan, respectively, or by any contract or agreement requiring contributions to a Plan or Multiemployer Plan, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Non-U.S. Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in liability to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Non-U.S. Plan have been timely made. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Non-U.S. Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Non-U.S. Plan, determined as of the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of reasonable actuarial assumptions, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Non-U.S. Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

(a)          As of the Closing Date, all interests in real property owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, and together with any additional real estate acquired after the Closing Date, the “Real Estate”) or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are listed on Schedule 4.11(a). Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all Real Estate, leased real property and all other personal property material to the operation of its business (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business or in a transaction permitted hereunder), in each case free and clear of Liens (other than Liens not prohibited by Section 7.2). All leases that individually are material to the business or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are valid and are in full force. As of the Closing Date, all permits required to have been issued or appropriate to enable the Real Estate or any leased real property to be lawfully occupied and used for all of the purposes for which it is currently occupied and used have been lawfully issued and are in full force and effect, except where the failure to be so issued or in full force and effect would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)          The Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, together with the Intellectual Property Rights licensed to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries under license agreements, constitute all of the Intellectual Property Rights material to their respective businesses.

Section 4.13         Labor Relations.    There are no strikes, lockouts or other material labor disputes or grievances against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and no significant unfair labor practice charges or grievances are pending against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against any of them before any Governmental Authority. All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.14         Subsidiaries.    Schedule 4.14 sets forth the name of, the ownership interest of the applicable Loan Party in, the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of, and the organizational type of each Subsidiary of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed on Schedule 4.14 and no Loan Party owns any Capital Stock in any Person other than those specifically disclosed on Schedule 4.14. All of the outstanding Capital Stock in each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries that is a corporation has been validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable, and all such Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party is owned by the record owners in the amounts specified on Schedule 4.14 as of the Closing Date, free and clear of all Liens except those created under the Collateral Documents, the Priming Collateral Documents and nonconsensual Liens that arise by operation of law. None of the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries has, as of the Closing Date, any issued and outstanding Disqualified Capital Stock except as otherwise specifically disclosed on Schedule 4.14.

 

Section 4.15         Solvency.   After giving effect to the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Sixth Amendment), the making of any Loans under this Agreement, the consummation of all transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents, and the issuance of any Letter of Credit under this Agreement, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are Solvent.

 

Section 4.16         Deposit and Disbursement Accounts.    Schedule 4.16 lists all banks and other financial institutions at which any Loan Party maintains deposit accounts, lockbox accounts, disbursement accounts, investment accounts or other similar accounts as of the Closing Date, and such Schedule correctly identifies the name, address and telephone number of each financial institution, the name in which the account is held, the type of the account, the complete account number therefor, and whether such account is a Government Receivables Account.

In the case of certificated Capital Stock pledged pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement, when certificates representing such Capital Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guaranty and Security Agreement or any other Collateral Document (other than deposit accounts and investment property) in which a Lien may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement, when financing statements are filed in the appropriate filing offices as specified in Article 9 of the UCC (which, as of the Closing Date, for each of the Loan Parties is the filing office set forth for each Loan Party on Schedule 3 to the Guaranty and Security Agreement), in each case, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral (including such Capital Stock) and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except for Specified Permitted Liens). In the case of Collateral that consists of deposit accounts (other than a Government Receivables Account) or investment property, when an Account Control Agreement is executed and delivered by all parties thereto with respect to such deposit accounts or investment property, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, prior and superior to any other Person (except for Specified Permitted Liens) except as provided under the applicable Account Control Agreement with respect to the financial institution party thereto.

(c)          Each Mortgage, if any, is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on all of such Loan Party’s right, title and interest in and to the Real Estate of such Loan Party covered thereby and the proceeds thereof, and when such Mortgage is filed in the real estate records where the respective Mortgaged Property is located, such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of such Loan Party in such Real Estate and the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to Permitted Encumbrances and Specified Permitted Liens.

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries participate in and have not been excluded from the Governmental Payor Arrangements listed on Schedule 4.21(a). A list of all of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing (i) Medicare provider numbers and Medicaid provider numbers, (ii) Medicare supplier numbers and Medicaid supplier numbers, and (iii) all other Governmental Payor provider agreements and numbers, excluding TRICARE and CHAMPUS, CHAMPVA and the Veteran’s Administration, pertaining to the business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date or, if such contracts do not exist, other documentation evidencing such participation as of the Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 4.21(a).

There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened Limitation of any such required Licenses with respect to any employee of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, except where such Limitation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each employee of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the terms of all such Licenses.

 

(e)          All reports, documents, schedules, statements, filings, submissions, forms, registrations, notices, approvals and other documents required to be filed, obtained, maintained or furnished pursuant to any Governmental Payor Arrangement, Third Party Payor Arrangement, License, Company Accreditation, and other applicable Healthcare Laws by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to any Governmental Authority have been so filed, obtained, maintained or furnished (individually, “Company Regulatory Filings” and collectively, “Company Regulatory Filings”), and all such reports, documents, schedules, statements, filings, submissions, forms, registrations, notices and other documents were complete and correct on the date filed (or were corrected in or supplemented by a subsequent filing), except where such failure would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely paid all amounts, Taxes, fees and assessments due and payable in connection therewith, except where the failure to make such payments on a timely basis would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has maintained all records required to be maintained under all applicable Requirements of Law with any Governmental Authorities (including all Governmental Payor Arrangements in which it participates, as required by Healthcare Laws), except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(f)          Since December 31, 2012, none of the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any employee or contractor of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has been, or to the knowledge of the Borrower has been threatened to be, (i) excluded from any Governmental Payor Arrangement pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b and related regulations, (ii) “suspended” or “debarred” from selling products to the U.S. government or its agencies pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, relating to debarment and suspension applicable to federal government agencies generally (42 C.F.R.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.5           Reliance by 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, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public 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 such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

Section 9.6           The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.   The bank serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Lenders”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The bank acting as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

 

Section 9.7           Successor Administrative Agent.

 

(a)          The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to approval by the Borrower provided that no Default or Event of Default shall exist at such time. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or maintain an office in the United States.

 

(b)          Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If, within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Section, no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent and its representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Administrative Agent.

 

 110 

 

  

(c)          In addition to the foregoing, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, and if any Default has arisen from a failure of the Borrower to comply with Section 2.26(b), then the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuing Bank or as Swingline Lender, as the case may be, effective at the close of business Atlanta, Georgia time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice).

 

Section 9.8           Withholding Tax.   To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

 

Section 9.9           The Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

 

(a)          In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Revolving Credit Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(i)          to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans or Revolving Credit Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent under Section 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(ii)         to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

 

(b)          Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 10.3.

 

 111 

 

  

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 

Section 9.10         Authorization to Execute Other Loan Documents.   Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Documents and any subordination agreements) other than this Agreement.

 

Section 9.11         Collateral and Guaranty Matters.   The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

 

(a)          to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) (x) upon the termination of all Revolving Commitments, the Cash Collateralization of all reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate LC Exposure of all Lenders, and the payment in full of all Obligations (other than Hedging Obligations owed by any Loan Party to any Lender-Related Hedge Provider, Bank Product Obligations and indemnities and other contingent obligations not then due and payable and as to which no claim has been made) or (y) with respect to any Lien on cash collateral held in the LC Cash Collateral Account, concurrently with, and in the amount of, any direct wiring thereof being made by the Administrative Agent to the cash collateral account applicable to any replacement letter of credit pursuant to Section 2.22(k) with respect to any Lien on cash collateral held in the LC Cash Collateral Account, concurrently with, and in the amount of, any direct wiring thereof being made by the Administrative Agent into the applicable cash collateral accounts pursuant to Section 2.22(k), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.2; and

 

(b)          to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents pursuant to this Section. In each case as specified in this Section, the Administrative Agent is authorized, at the Borrower’s expense, to execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Liens granted under the applicable Collateral Documents, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section.

 

Section 9.12         Syndication Agent.   Each Lender hereby designates Jefferies as Syndication Agent and agrees that the Syndication Agent shall have no duties or obligations under any Loan Documents to any Lender or any Loan Party.

 

 112 

 

  

Section 9.13         Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee.   Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

 

Section 9.14         Secured Bank Product Obligations and Hedging Obligations.   No Bank Product Provider or Lender-Related Hedge Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 8.2, the Collateral Documents or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Bank Product Obligations and Hedging Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Bank Product Provider or Lender-Related Hedge Provider, as the case may be.

 

Section 9.15         ABDC INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.   EACH LENDER (A) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY, AND WILL TAKE NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO, THE PROVISIONS OF THE ABDC INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (B) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE ABDC INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE ABDC INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, AND (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT A COPY OF THE ABDC INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT WAS MADE AVAILABLE TO SUCH LENDER AND THAT SUCH LENDER REVIEWED THE ABDC INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. NOT IN LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL EXERCISE ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE ABDC INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER.

 

Section 9.16         PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.   EACH LENDER (A) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY, AND WILL TAKE NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO, THE PROVISIONS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (B) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, AND (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT A COPY OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT WAS MADE AVAILABLE TO SUCH LENDER AND THAT SUCH LENDER REVIEWED THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR THE ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED THEREIN. NOT IN LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL EXERCISE ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER AND IN THE EVENT OF AN INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE TERMS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDERS UNDER THE PRIMING CREDIT AGREEMENT TO EXTEND CREDIT AND SUCH LENDERS ARE THE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF SUCH PROVISIONS AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(b)          Electronic Communications.

 

(i)          Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II unless such Lender, the Issuing Bank, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent have agreed to receive notices under any Section thereof by electronic communication and have agreed to the procedures governing such communications. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Section 10.2         Waiver; Amendments.

 

(a)          No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, 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 right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) of this Section, 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 the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

 

(b)          No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents (other than the Fee Letters), nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, or the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that, in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

 

 116 

 

  

(i)          increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

 

(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 affected thereby (except that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenant set forth in Article VI or waiver of post-default rates of interests shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (ii));

 

(iii)        postpone or extend the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a postponement, extension or increase of any Loan or Commitment hereunder);

 

(iv)        change Section 8.2 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

 

(v)         change Section 2.21(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(vi)        change any of the provisions of this subsection (b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender;

 

(vii)       except in connection with a transaction otherwise not prohibited by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, release all or substantially all of the value of any Guarantee guarantying any of the Obligations, or release all or substantially all of the guarantors, or limit the liability of such guarantors, under any guaranty agreement guaranteeing any of the Obligations, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(viii)      release all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Obligations, without the written consent of each Lender; or

 

(ix)         change the Aggregate Revolving Commitment reduction and repayment provisions in Section 2.12(d) or Section 7.17 without a vote of 100% of the Revolving Credit Lenders.

 

provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Person.

 

 117 

 

  

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, and amounts payable to such Lender hereunder may not be permanently reduced, without the consent of such Lender (other than reductions in fees and interest in which such reduction does not disproportionately affect such Lender), (B) this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.3), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and such Lender shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement, (C) only Required Revolving Lenders and, as applicable, the Issuing Bank, may waive any condition set forth in Section 3.3, with respect to any Revolving Borrowing or issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, and (D) only the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders shall be necessary to (and only the Required Revolving Lenders shall have the ability to) amend or waive the terms and provisions of Article VI, Section 2.22(k), Section 7.17, Section 8.1(d)(ii) (solely with respect to Section 2.22(k)) and Section 8.1(d)(iii) (in each case of the foregoing, including any defined terms solely as they relate thereto).

 

(c)          Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers to all Term B Loan Lenders or all Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendments and (ii) the date on which responses from the applicable Lenders in respect of such Permitted Amendment are required to be received (which shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date of such notice). Only those Lenders that consent to such Permitted Amendment (the “Accepting Lenders”) will have the maturity of their applicable Loans and Commitments extended and be entitled to receive any increase in the Applicable Margin and any fees (including Prepayment Premiums or fees), in each case, as provided therein (and notwithstanding any provision of Sections 10.2(a), 2.21(b) and 2.21(c)). The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the repayment in full of all Loans and other amounts owing to each of the non-Accepting Lenders on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and/or the Maturity Date, as applicable, shall not be affected by the terms of any Permitted Amendment and whether or not any Lender becomes an Accepting Lender shall be determined by each such Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Permitted Amendment. Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 10.2(a), each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Permitted Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended, as may be necessary or appropriate, to effect the terms and provisions of the Permitted Amendment with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders in a manner consistent with the other Loans and Commitments under this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this Section 10.2(c) unless the Administrative Agent shall have consented thereto and, to the extent so reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other organizational authorizations and officer’s certificates consistent with those delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement.

 

 118 

 

 

Section 10.3         Expenses; Indemnification.

 

(a)          The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be consummated), and the due diligence relating thereto (including, with respect to the Administrative Agent, STRH and their Affiliates only, the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements, and expenses of one outside counsel (and any required special or local counsel)), (ii) all reasonable and documented expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all documented costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, or any Lender (including the documented fees, disbursements, and expenses of one outside counsel to each such party (and any required special or local counsel to each such party)) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or any Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such documented costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

 

(b)          The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lead Arranger, each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person and Related Party being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including the fees, disbursements, and expenses of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall reimburse each Indemnitee upon demand for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the following, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates 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 the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) the CarePoint Acquisition, the CarePoint Acquisition Agreement, or the consummation of any transactions contemplated thereby or in connection therewith, (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (v) any actual or prospective suit, 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party or by the Borrower’s equity holders, Affiliates or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee or the Borrower 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 other expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) a material breach by such Indemnitee of any of its undertakings, obligations or commitments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. No Indemnitee shall be responsible or liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through Syndtrak, Intralinks, any other Internet or intranet website, or any other electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) a material breach by such Indemnitee of any of its undertakings, obligations or commitments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c)          Without duplication of Section 2.20, the Borrower shall pay, and hold the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all present and future Other Taxes, and save the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such Other Taxes.

(e)          To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct 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, the transactions contemplated therein, any Loan or any Letter of Credit or the use of proceeds thereof.

 

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

(a)          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 the Borrower may not 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 the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

 120 

 

  

(B)         in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure 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 the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000 with respect to Revolving Loans and, $5,000,000 with respect to Term B Loans and in minimum increments of $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower 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 Loans, other Revolving Credit Exposure or the Commitments assigned, except that this subsection (b)(ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Commitments on a non-pro rata basis.

 

(iii)        Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

 

(A)         the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender; provided, that (1) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it objects thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof and (2) any consent of the Borrower otherwise required hereunder shall not be required in conjunction with the initial syndication of the Loans; provided, further, that any refusal by the Borrower to consent to an assignment to a Disqualified Institution shall not be deemed unreasonable;

 

(B)         the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender; provided, that any refusal by the Administrative Agent to consent to an assignment to a Priming Lender shall not be deemed unreasonable; and

 

(C)         the consent of the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding), and the consent of the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Commitments.

 

(iv)        Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a duly executed Assignment and Assumption, (B) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, (C) an Administrative Questionnaire unless the assignee is already a Lender and (D) the documents required under Section 2.20(f), and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register.

 

 121 

 

  

(v)         No Assignment to the certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) 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 (B), or (C) so long as no Event of Default is in existence, any Disqualified Institution.

 

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

 

(vii)       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 the Borrower 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, the Issuing Bank, the 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. 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 paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

(viii)      Assignments Prior to the DDTL Date. Any other term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Term B Loan Lender prior to the DDTL Date, such assignment shall consist of such Term B Loan Lender’s rights and obligations under the Initial Term B Loans and the DDTL Commitment on a pro rata basis.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, 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 entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.3 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 such 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 subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section. If the consent of the Borrower to an assignment is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified above), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof has actually been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) to the Borrower.

 

 122 

 

  

(c)          The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Atlanta, Georgia a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amount of the Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; information contained in the Register shall also be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In establishing and maintaining the Register, the Administrative Agent shall serve as the Borrower’s agent solely with respect to the actions described in this Section, and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent SunTrust Bank serves in such capacity, SunTrust Bank and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees”.

 

(d)          Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any Competitor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders 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 with respect to the following to the extent affecting such Participant: (i) increase the Commitment of such Lender; (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder; (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment; (iv) change Section 2.21(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby; (v) change any of the provisions of Section 10.2(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder; (vi) release all or substantially all of the guarantors, or limit the liability of such guarantors, under any guaranty agreement guaranteeing any of the Obligations; or (vii) release all or substantially all collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.24 as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.21 as though it were a Lender.

 

 123 

 

  

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States 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 the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have inspection rights to such Participant Register (upon reasonable prior notice to the applicable Lender) solely for purposes of demonstrating that such Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents are in “registered form” for purposes of the Code.

 

(e)          A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.18 and 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.20(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender.

 

(f)          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, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; 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.

(c)          The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding described in subsection (b) of this Section and brought in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower after any such set-off and any application made by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to apply all amounts collected from any such set-off to the Obligations before applying such amounts to any other Indebtedness or other obligations owed by the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries to such Lender or the Issuing Bank.

(b)          The Borrower agrees that the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and between each Lender and the Borrower is that of creditor and debtor and not that of partners or joint venturers. This Agreement does not constitute a partnership agreement or any other association between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or between any Lender and the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and each Lender has acted at all times only as a creditor to the Borrower within the normal and usual scope of the activities normally undertaken by a creditor and in no event has the Administrative Agent or any Lender attempted to exercise any control over the Borrower or its business or affairs. The Borrower further acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and each Lender has not taken or failed to take any action under or in connection with its respective rights under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents that in any way, or to any extent, has interfered with or adversely affected the Borrower's ownership of Collateral.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties thereto, and that notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of certain of Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be subject to the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, no action taken or not taken by Administrative Agent or any other Lender in accordance with the terms of the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a waiver by Administrative Agent or any other Lender of any rights such Person has with respect to any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

 

Section 10.17         Priming Agent as Bailee.   Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of any other Loan Document, at all times prior to the “Discharge of Priming Obligations” (as defined in the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and so long as the Priming Loan Documents shall require the delivery of possession or control to the Priming Agent, or shall require the granting of a first priority Lien on Collateral in favor of the Priming Agent, any covenant hereunder or thereunder requiring the delivery of possession or control to the Administrative Agent of Collateral shall be deemed to have been satisfied if, prior to the “Discharge of Priming Obligations” (other than “Excess Priming Obligations”) (as such terms are defined in the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement), and the termination of this Agreement and all commitments to lend hereunder, such possession or control shall have been delivered to or given in favor of the Priming Agent (or its agents or bailees), as provided in the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or such first priority lien on such Collateral shall have been granted to the Priming Agent and a second priority lien on such Collateral shall have been granted to the Administrative Agent, in each case, subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Specified Permitted Liens. To the extent any such possessory Collateral shall be delivered to or be controlled by the Administrative Agent (or its agents or bailees), subject to the terms of the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement and solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such possessory Collateral, the Administrative Agent agrees to hold any such possessory Collateral as a gratuitous bailee for the benefit of the Priming Agent. The representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents representing or warranting that the Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document is a first priority lien shall be deemed to be modified mutatis mutandis to take into account the foregoing provisions of this paragraph and the agreements set forth in the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(ii)         impose on any Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement or any participation therein;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of participating in or to reduce the amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount),

 

then, from time to time, such Lender may provide the Borrower (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) with written notice and demand with respect to such increased costs or reduced amounts, and within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice and demand the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such increased costs incurred or reduction suffered.

Section 2.19        [Reserved].

 

Section 2.20        Taxes.

 

(a)          Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deduction and timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other Loan Party, as applicable, shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

 

(b)          In addition, without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the applicable Recipient (for its own account or on behalf of one or more Beneficial Owners) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(d)          As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower or other Loan Party, as applicable, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an 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.

 

 36 

 

 

(e)          If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund, or a credit in lieu of a refund, of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.20(e) shall not be construed to require a Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

(f)          Tax Forms.

 

(i)          Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is a Foreign Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, (w) on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this subsection, and (z) from time to time upon the reasonable request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(iv)          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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment; provided, that solely for purposes of this clause (E), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

(v)          Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender shall update such form or certification; however, if such Lender is not legally entitled to provide an updated form or certification, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to update such form or certification.

Section 2.21        Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

 

(a)          The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.18 or 2.20, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off, counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of taxes. 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 the Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.18, 2.20 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

 

(b)          If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied as follows: first, to all fees and reimbursable expenses of the Administrative Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to all reimbursable expenses of the Lenders then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective pro rata shares of such fees and expenses; third, to all accrued interest and fees then due and payable hereunder, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective pro rata shares of such interest and fees; and fourth, to all principal of the Loans then due and payable hereunder, pro rata to the parties entitled thereto based on their respective pro rata shares of such principal.

 

(c)          If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and accrued interest and fees thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with respect to its Revolving Loans, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary 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 Revolving Loans; 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 subsection shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

 39 

 

 

(d)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount or amounts due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such 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 rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

Section 2.22        [Reserved].

 

Section 2.23        [Reserved].

 

Section 2.24      Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.18 or Section 2.20, 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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented (in summary form) costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or assignment.

 

Section 2.25        Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, (b) [Reserved], or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.2(b), the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10.4(b)), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.20, as applicable) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender) (a “Replacement Lender”); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of a claim for compensation under Section 2.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law, and (v) in the case of a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting 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 the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, each Lender as follows:

 

Section 4.1          Existence; Power. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted, and (iii) is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where a failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 4.2          Organizational Power; Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party are within such Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational and, if required, shareholder, partner or member action. Each of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties party thereto and constitutes valid and binding obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party (as the case may be), enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

 

Section 4.3          Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any action by, any Governmental Authority or any Person with respect to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has any Contractual Obligation, except those as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except for filings necessary to perfect or maintain perfection of the Liens created under the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any judgment, order or ruling of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any material Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its assets or give rise to a right thereunder to accelerate the obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries thereunder (whether accomplished by a mandatory prepayment, a redemption, or otherwise) and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens (if any) created under the Loan Documents.

 

 44 

 

 

Section 4.4          Financial Statements; Material Adverse Effect.

 

(a)          The Borrower has furnished to each Lender (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015, and the related audited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the Fiscal Year then ended, prepared by KPMG LLP and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2016, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the Fiscal Quarter and year-to-date period then ended, certified by a Responsible Officer. Such financial statements fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and the consolidated results of operations for such periods in conformity with GAAP (as in effect at the time such financial statements were prepared and subject to Section 1.3) consistently applied (except as expressly noted therein), subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii). The Projections delivered to the Administrative Agent in satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 3.1(b)(ix)(A) and all Profit Plans delivered to the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.1(e) have been prepared by the Borrower in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made; provided that it is expressly understood and agreed that financial projections (including the Projections and all Profit Plans) are inherently uncertain and are not a guarantee of financial performance and that actual results may differ from financial projections and such differences may be material.

 

(b)          Since December 31, 2015, there have been no changes with respect to, or event affecting, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which have had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 4.5          Litigation and Environmental Matters.

 

(a)          No litigation, investigation or proceeding (including any whistleblower action) of or before any arbitrators or Governmental Authorities is pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which in any manner draws into question the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Existing Lien Loan Document.

 

(b)          Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

 

Section 4.6          Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Except for non-compliance which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with (a) all Requirements of Law and all judgments, decrees and orders of any Governmental Authority and (b) all Material Agreements.

 

Section 4.7         Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an “investment company” or is “controlled” by an “investment company”, as such terms are defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and in effect from time to time, or (b) otherwise subject to any other regulatory scheme limiting its ability to incur debt or requiring any approval or consent from, or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority in connection therewith.

 

 45 

 

 

Section 4.8          Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries and each other Person for whose taxes the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could become liable have timely filed or caused to be filed all Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by them, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made against it or its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority, except where the same are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of such taxes are adequate, and no tax liabilities that could be materially in excess of the amount so provided are anticipated.

 

Section 4.9          Margin Regulations. None of the proceeds of any of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of such terms under Regulation U or for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying “margin stock”.

 

Section 4.10        ERISA. Each Plan is in substantial compliance in form and operation with its terms and with ERISA and the Code (including, without limitation, the Code provisions compliance with which is necessary for any intended favorable tax treatment) and all other applicable laws and regulations, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code covering all applicable tax law changes, or is comprised of a master or prototype plan that has received a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service, and nothing has occurred since the date of such determination that would adversely affect such determination (or, in the case of a Plan with no such determination, nothing has occurred that would adversely affect the issuance of a favorable determination letter or otherwise adversely affect such qualification), except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. There exists no Unfunded Pension Liability with respect to any Plan and no Plan is in, or is expected to be, in at risk status under Title IV of ERISA such that a Material Adverse Effect would be expected in the foreseeable future to occur with respect thereto. There are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving a Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate, threatened, which would reasonably be expected to be asserted successfully against any Plan and, if so asserted successfully, would reasonably be expected either singly or in the aggregate to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate have made all contributions to or under each Plan and Multiemployer Plan required by law within the applicable time limits prescribed thereby, by the terms of such Plan or Multiemployer Plan, respectively, or by any contract or agreement requiring contributions to a Plan or Multiemployer Plan, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Non-U.S. Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in liability to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Non-U.S. Plan have been timely made. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Non-U.S. Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Non-U.S. Plan, determined as of the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of reasonable actuarial assumptions, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Non-U.S. Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

(a)          As of the Closing Date, all interests in real property owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, and together with any additional real estate acquired after the Closing Date, the “Real Estate”) or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are listed on Schedule 4.11(a). Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all Real Estate, leased real property and all other personal property material to the operation of its business (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business or in a transaction permitted hereunder), in each case free and clear of Liens (other than Liens not prohibited by Section 7.2). All leases that individually are material to the business or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are valid and are in full force. As of the Closing Date, all permits required to have been issued or appropriate to enable the Real Estate or any leased real property to be lawfully occupied and used for all of the purposes for which it is currently occupied and used have been lawfully issued and are in full force and effect, except where the failure to be so issued or in full force and effect would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)          The Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, together with the Intellectual Property Rights licensed to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries under license agreements, constitute all of the Intellectual Property Rights material to their respective businesses.

Any of the written reports (including, without limitation, all reports that the Borrower is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission), financial statements, certificates or other information (other than the Projections, the Profit Plans and other forward-looking information (which shall be subject solely to the representation set forth in the last sentence of Section 4.4(a)), information regarding third parties and general economic or industry information) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation or syndication of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by any other information so furnished), is or will be, when furnished and taken as a whole, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished and taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made.

Section 4.13        Labor Relations. There are no strikes, lockouts or other material labor disputes or grievances against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and no significant unfair labor practice charges or grievances are pending against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against any of them before any Governmental Authority. All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 4.14        Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.14 sets forth the name of, the ownership interest of the applicable Loan Party in, the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of, and the organizational type of each Subsidiary of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed on Schedule 4.14 and no Loan Party owns any Capital Stock in any Person other than those specifically disclosed on Schedule 4.14. All of the outstanding Capital Stock in each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries that is a corporation has been validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable, and all such Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party is owned by the record owners in the amounts specified on Schedule 4.14 as of the Closing Date, free and clear of all Liens except those created under the Collateral Documents, the Existing Lien Collateral Documents and nonconsensual Liens that arise by operation of law. None of the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries has, as of the Closing Date, any issued and outstanding Disqualified Capital Stock except as otherwise specifically disclosed on Schedule 4.14.

 

Section 4.15        Solvency. After giving effect to the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the making of any Loans under this Agreement, the consummation of all transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are Solvent.

 

Section 4.16        Deposit and Disbursement Accounts.

In the case of certificated Capital Stock pledged pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement, when certificates representing such Capital Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guaranty and Security Agreement or any other Collateral Document (other than deposit accounts and investment property) in which a Lien may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement, when financing statements are filed in the appropriate filing offices as specified in Article 9 of the UCC (which, as of the Closing Date, for each of the Loan Parties is the filing office set forth for each Loan Party on Schedule 3 to the Guaranty and Security Agreement), in each case, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral (including such Capital Stock) and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except for Specified Permitted Liens). In the case of Collateral that consists of deposit accounts (other than a Government Receivables Account) or investment property, when an Account Control Agreement is executed and delivered by all parties thereto with respect to such deposit accounts or investment property, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, prior and superior to any other Person (except for Specified Permitted Liens) except as provided under the applicable Account Control Agreement with respect to the financial institution party thereto.

(c)          The Required Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent at any time upon five (5) days’ written notice and appoint a replacement agent. If, within thirty (30) days after written notice of removal is given under this Section, no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 30th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent and its representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 9.8          Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

Section 9.9          The Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

 

(a)          In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(i)          to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(ii)          to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

 

(b)          Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 10.3.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 

Section 9.10       Authorization to Execute Other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Priming/Existing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Documents and any subordination agreements) other than this Agreement.

 

Section 9.11        Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

 

(a)          to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the termination of all Revolving Commitments and the payment in full of all Obligations (other than and indemnities and other contingent obligations not then due and payable and as to which no claim has been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.2; and

 

 81 

 

 

(b)          to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents pursuant to this Section. In each case as specified in this Section, the Administrative Agent is authorized, at the Borrower’s expense, to execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Liens granted under the applicable Collateral Documents, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section.

 

Section 9.12        [Reserved].

 

Section 9.13        Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

 

Section 9.14        [Reserved].

 

Section 9.15        ABDC INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. Each Lender (a) agrees that it will be bound by, and will take no actions contrary to, the provisions of the ABDC Intercreditor Agreement, (b) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the ABDC Intercreditor Agreement as Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, and to take all actions (and execute all documents) required (or deemed advisable) by it in accordance with the terms of the ABDC Intercreditor Agreement, and (c) acknowledges that a copy of the ABDC Intercreditor Agreement was made available to such Lender and that such Lender reviewed the ABDC Intercreditor Agreement. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall exercise all rights and remedies under the ABDC Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender.

 

 82 

 

 

Section 9.16        PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER (A) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY, AND WILL TAKE NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO, THE PROVISIONS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (B) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, AND (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT A COPY OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT WAS MADE AVAILABLE TO SUCH LENDER AND THAT SUCH LENDER REVIEWED THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR THE ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED THEREIN. NOT IN LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL EXERCISE ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER AND IN THE EVENT OF AN INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE TERMS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDERS UNDER THE PRIMING CREDIT AGREEMENT TO EXTEND CREDIT AND SUCH LENDERS ARE THE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF SUCH PROVISIONS AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ENTER INTO ANY AMENDMENT TO THE PRIMING/EXISTING LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS.

All such notices and other communications shall be effective upon actual receipt by the relevant Person or, if delivered by overnight courier service, upon the first Business Day after the date deposited with such courier service for overnight (next-day) delivery or, if sent by telecopy, upon transmittal in legible form by facsimile machine or, if mailed, upon the third Business Day after the date deposited into the mail or, if delivered by hand, upon delivery; provided that notices delivered to the Administrative Agent shall not be effective until actually received by such Person at its address specified in this Section.

 

 84 

 

 

(ii)          Any agreement of the Administrative Agent or any Lender herein to receive certain notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the Borrower to give such notice and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not have any liability to the Borrower or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and all other Obligations hereunder shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Administrative Agent and such Lender to be contained in any such telephonic or facsimile notice.

 

(b)          Electronic Communications.

 

(i)          Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II unless such Lender, and the Administrative Agent have agreed to receive notices under any Section thereof by electronic communication and have agreed to the procedures governing such communications. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

 

(ii)          Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

 

Section 10.2        Waiver; Amendments.

 

(a)          No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, 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 right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) of this Section, 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 shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

 

 85 

 

 

(b)          No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, or the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that, in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

 

(i)          increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

 

(ii)          reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (except that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenant set forth in Article VI or waiver of post-default rates of interests shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (ii));

 

(iii)         postpone or extend the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a postponement, extension or increase of any Loan or Commitment hereunder);

 

(iv)         change Section 8.2 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

 

(v)         change Section 2.21(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(vi)        change any of the provisions of this subsection (b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender;

 

(vii)       except in connection with a transaction otherwise not prohibited by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, release all or substantially all of the value of any Guarantee guarantying any of the Obligations, or release all or substantially all of the guarantors, or limit the liability of such guarantors, under any guaranty agreement guaranteeing any of the Obligations, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender; or

 

(viii)       release all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Obligations, without the written consent of each Lender;

 

provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of such Person.

 

 86 

 

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.20 and 10.3), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and such Lender shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement and (B) only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to (and only the Required Lenders shall have the ability to) amend or waive the terms and provisions of Article VI and Section 8.1(d)(ii) (including any defined terms solely as they relate thereto).

 

(c)          Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers to all Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendments and (ii) the date on which responses from the applicable Lenders in respect of such Permitted Amendment are required to be received (which shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date of such notice). Only those Lenders that consent to such Permitted Amendment (the “Accepting Lenders”) will have the maturity of their applicable Loans and Commitments extended and be entitled to receive any increase in the interest rate and any fees, in each case, as provided therein (and notwithstanding any provision of Sections 10.2(a), 2.21(b) and 2.21(c)). The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the repayment in full of all Loans and other amounts owing to each of the non-Accepting Lenders on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall not be affected by the terms of any Permitted Amendment and whether or not any Lender becomes an Accepting Lender shall be determined by each such Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Permitted Amendment. Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 10.2(a), each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Permitted Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended, as may be necessary or appropriate, to effect the terms and provisions of the Permitted Amendment with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders in a manner consistent with the other Loans and Commitments under this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this Section 10.2(c) unless the Administrative Agent shall have consented thereto and, to the extent so reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other organizational authorizations and officer’s certificates consistent with those delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.3         Expenses; Indemnification.

 

(a)          The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be consummated), and the due diligence relating thereto (including, with respect to the Administrative Agent, STRH and their Affiliates only, the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements, and expenses of one outside counsel (and any required special or local counsel)), (ii) [Reserved] and (iii) all documented costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the documented fees, disbursements, and expenses of one outside counsel to each such party (and any required special or local counsel to each such party)) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including all such documented costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

 

 87 

 

 

(b)          The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person and Related Party being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including the fees, disbursements, and expenses of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall reimburse each Indemnitee upon demand for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the following, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates 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 the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) [Reserved], (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (v) any actual or prospective suit, 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party or by the Borrower’s equity holders, Affiliates or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee or the Borrower 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 other expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) a material breach by such Indemnitee of any of its undertakings, obligations or commitments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. No Indemnitee shall be responsible or liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through Syndtrak, Intralinks, any other Internet or intranet website, or any other electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) a material breach by such Indemnitee of any of its undertakings, obligations or commitments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

(c)          Without duplication of Section 2.20, the Borrower shall pay, and hold the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all present and future Other Taxes, and save the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such Other Taxes.

 

(d)          To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent under subsection (a), (b) or (c) hereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (in accordance with its Revolving Commitment determined as of the time that the unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified payment, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such.

 

 88 

 

 

(e)          To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct 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, the transactions contemplated therein, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof.

 

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

 

Section 10.4        Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)          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 the Borrower may not 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 the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)          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 Loans at the time owing to it); 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 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 subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, 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 outstanding principal 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 the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000 and in minimum increments of $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower 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 Loans or the Commitments assigned, except that this subsection (b)(ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Commitments on a non-pro rata basis.

 

 89 

 

 

(iii)          Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

 

(A)          the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender; provided, that (1) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it objects thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof and (2) any consent of the Borrower otherwise required hereunder shall not be required in conjunction with the initial syndication of the Loans; provided, further, that any refusal by the Borrower to consent to an assignment to a Disqualified Institution shall not be deemed unreasonable;

 

(B)          the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender; provided, that any refusal by the Administrative Agent to consent to an assignment to an Existing Lien Lender shall not be deemed unreasonable; and

 

(C)          [Reserved].

 

(iv)          Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a duly executed Assignment and Assumption, (B) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, (C) an Administrative Questionnaire unless the assignee is already a Lender and (D) the documents required under Section 2.20(f), and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register.

 

(v)          No Assignment to the certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) [Reserved], or (C) so long as no Event of Default is in existence, any Disqualified Institution.

 

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

 

(vii)         [Reserved].

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, 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 entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.20 and 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section. If the consent of the Borrower to an assignment is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified above), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof has actually been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) to the Borrower.

(c)          The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Atlanta, Georgia a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; information contained in the Register shall also be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In establishing and maintaining the Register, the Administrative Agent shall serve as the Borrower’s agent solely with respect to the actions described in this Section, and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent SunTrust Bank serves in such capacity, SunTrust Bank and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees”.

 

(d)          Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any Competitor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders 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 with respect to the following to the extent affecting such Participant: (i) increase the Commitment of such Lender; (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder; (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment; (iv) change Section 2.21(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby; (v) change any of the provisions of Section 10.2(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder; (vi) release all or substantially all of the guarantors, or limit the liability of such guarantors, under any guaranty agreement guaranteeing any of the Obligations; or (vii) release all or substantially all collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.24 as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.21 as though it were a Lender.

 

 91 

 

 

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States 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 the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have inspection rights to such Participant Register (upon reasonable prior notice to the applicable Lender) solely for purposes of demonstrating that such Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents are in “registered form” for purposes of the Code.

 

(e)          A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.18 and 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.20(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender.

 

(f)          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, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; 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 10.5          Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

 

(a)          This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the law (without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof of the State of New York.

 

(b)          The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York county, and of any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such District Court or New York state court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such appellate court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

(c)          The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding described in subsection (b) of this Section and brought in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

 92 

 

 

(d)             Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

Section 10.6          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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 10.7          Right of Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Lender shall have the right, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply against all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of the Borrower at any time held or other obligations at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations held by such Lender, as the case may be, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made demand hereunder and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower after any such set-off and any application made by such Lender, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Each Lender agrees to apply all amounts collected from any such set-off to the Obligations before applying such amounts to any other Indebtedness or other obligations owed by the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries to such Lender.

 

Section 10.8          Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements relating to any fees payable to the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto and their affiliates regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject matters. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in pdf format shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

 93 

 

 

Section 10.9          Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates, reports, notices 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 other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent 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 terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.18, 2.20, and 10.3 and Article IX 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 10.10         Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 10.11        Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, to the extent designated in writing as confidential and provided to it by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except that such information may be disclosed (i) to any Related Party of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender including, without limitation, accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iv) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or which becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to execution by such Person of 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 party (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (vii) to any rating agency, (viii) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, or (ix) with the consent of the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for 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 its own confidential information. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Loan Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section shall govern.

 

 94 

 

 

Section 10.12     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 may be treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a 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 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 rate to the date of repayment (to the extent permitted by applicable law), shall have been received by such Lender.

 

Section 10.13    Waiver of Effect of Corporate Seal. The Borrower represents and warrants that neither it nor any other Loan Party is required to affix its corporate seal to this Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to any Requirement of Law, agrees that this Agreement is delivered by the Borrower under seal and waives any shortening of the statute of limitations that may result from not affixing the corporate seal to this Agreement or such other Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.14    Patriot Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

 

Section 10.15     No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

 

(a)          In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding that (i) (A) the services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person, and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

 

 95 

 

 

(b)          The Borrower agrees that the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and between each Lender and the Borrower is that of creditor and debtor and not that of partners or joint venturers. This Agreement does not constitute a partnership agreement or any other association between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or between any Lender and the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and each Lender has acted at all times only as a creditor to the Borrower within the normal and usual scope of the activities normally undertaken by a creditor and in no event has the Administrative Agent or any Lender attempted to exercise any control over the Borrower or its business or affairs. The Borrower further acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and each Lender has not taken or failed to take any action under or in connection with its respective rights under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents that in any way, or to any extent, has interfered with or adversely affected the Borrower's ownership of Collateral.

 

Section 10.16     Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

 

(a)          the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

 

(b)          the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

 

(i)          a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

 

(ii)         a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

 

(iii)         the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Certain Litigation Matters

 

Breach of Contract Litigation in the Delaware Court of Chancery

 

On November 3, 2015, Walgreen Co. and various affiliates (“Walgreens”) filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaint alleges that the Company breached certain non-compete provisions contained in the Community Pharmacy and Mail Business Purchase Agreement dated as of February 1, 2012, by and among Walgreens and certain subsidiaries and the Company and certain subsidiaries (the “2012 Purchase Agreement”). The complaint seeks both money damages and injunctive relief. On December 7, 2015, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, asserting, among other things, that the claims raised in Walgreens’ complaint were subject to the alternative dispute resolution procedure contained in the 2012 Purchase Agreement. On March 11, 2016, the Court held oral argument on the Company’s motion to dismiss and granted the motion, holding that Walgreens’ breach of contract claims for money damages must be resolved in accordance with the 2012 Purchase Agreement’s alternative dispute resolution procedure. On March 15, 2016, Walgreens informed the Court that it would not be pursuing any claims for injunctive relief in the Court at that time, but instead would engage in the required alternative dispute resolution procedure. Walgreens requested that the Court keep the case open pending the results of that process. On March 16, 2016, the Court stayed the lawsuit and removed the trial from its calendar, but did not grant Walgreens any other relief or enjoin the Company from taking any action. On December 8, 2016, the parties submitted the dispute to an arbitrator. On December 28, 2016, the arbitrator rendered its decision, finding that the Company had not violated the non-compete, except for certain limited sales of oral oncology, HIV and transplant pharmaceuticals, constituting approximately 3 percent of the total sales that Walgreens claimed were made in violation of the agreement. The arbitrator also concluded that Walgreens was not entitled to recover its lost profits or lost revenues as a result of any such sales. Despite that ruling, the arbitrator awarded Walgreens $5.8 million in damages, or approximately 20 percent of the total amount requested. The Company believes that arbitrator’s damages award ignored applicable law, contradicted the arbitrator’s liability findings and exceeded the scope of the arbitrator’s authority in light of both parties’ arbitration submissions. The Company is evaluating options for challenging the award and continuing to vigorously defend itself. Due to the inherent uncertainty in litigation, however, the Company can provide no assurance that its challenge to the award will be successful.

 

Derivative Lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery

 

On May 7, 2015, a derivative complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by the Park Employees’ & Retirement Board Employees’ Annuity & Benefit Fund of Chicago (the “Derivative Complaint”). The Derivative Complaint names as defendants certain current and former directors of the Company, consisting of Richard M. Smith, Myron Holubiak, Charlotte Collins, Samuel Frieder, David Hubers, Richard Robbins, Stuart Samuels and Gordon Woodward (collectively, the “Director Defendants”), certain former officers of the Company, consisting of Kimberlee Seah, Hai Tran and Patricia Bogusz (collectively the “Officer Defendants”), Kohlberg & Co., L.L.C., Kohlberg Management V, L.L.C., Kohlberg Investors V, L.P., Kohlberg Partners V, L.P., Kohlberg TE Investors V, L.P., KOCO Investors V, L.P., and Jefferies LLC. The Company is also named as a nominal defendant in the Derivative Complaint. The Derivative Complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery as Park Employees and Retirement Board Employees’ Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago v. Richard M. Smith, Myron Z. Holubiak, Charlotte W. Collins, Samuel P. Frieder, David R. Huber, Richard L. Robbins, Stuart A. Samuels, Gordon H. Woodward, Kimberlee C. Seah, Hai V.Tran, Patricia Bogusz, Kohlberg & Co., L.L.C., Kohlberg Management V, L.L.C., Kohlberg Investors V, L.P., Kohlberg Partners V, L.P., Kohlberg TE Investors V, L.P., KOCO Investors V, L.P., Jefferies LLC and BioScrip, Inc., C.A. No. 11000-VCG (Del. Ch. Ct., May 7, 2015).

 

 

 

  

The Derivative Complaint alleges generally that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties with respect to the Company’s public disclosures, oversight of Company operations, secondary stock offerings and stock sales. The Derivative Complaint also contends that certain defendants aided and abetted those alleged breaches. The damages sought are not quantified but include, among other things, claims for money damages, restitution, disgorgement, equitable relief, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, and interest. The Derivative Complaint incorporates the same factual allegations from In re BioScrip, Inc., Securities Litigation (described below). On June 16, 2015, all defendants moved to dismiss the case. Briefing for the motion to dismiss was completed on November 30, 2015, and the court heard oral argument on the motion to dismiss on January 12, 2016. During the hearing, the court requested additional briefing, which was completed on February 12, 2016. On May 31, 2016, the court determined that the Plaintiff’s claims could not proceed as pled but granted the Plaintiff thirty days in which to make a motion to amend the Derivative Complaint. The court reserved decision on the motion to dismiss and on June 29, 2016, the Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint. On October 10, 2016, all defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. Briefing on the motion to dismiss was completed on November 21, 2016.

 

The Company, Director Defendants and the Officer Defendants deny any allegations of wrongdoing in this lawsuit. The Company and those persons believe all of the claims in this lawsuit are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against these claims. However, there is no assurance that the defense will be successful or that insurance will be available or adequate to fund any settlement, judgment or litigation costs associated with this action. Certain of the defendants have sought indemnification from the Company pursuant to certain indemnification agreements, for which there may be no insurance coverage. Additional similar lawsuits may be filed. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss at this time. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, the Company believes that the final resolution of this action is not likely to have a material adverse effect on results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.
