Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Agreement and Plan of Merger

 

On September 6, 2017 (the “ Closing Date ”), Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ TRHC ”), TRCRD, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of TRHC (“ Merger Sub I ”) and TRSHC Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRHC (“ Merger Sub II ,” and together with Merger Sub I, the “ Merger Subs ”), entered into, and consummated the transactions contemplated by, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”), by and among TRHC, the Merger Subs, Sinfonía HealthCare Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ Sinfonía ”), Michael Deitch, Fletcher McCusker and Mr. Deitch in his capacity as the Stockholders’ Representative.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub I merged with and into Sinfonía, with Sinfonía surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRHC (the “ First Merger ”).  Immediately following the First Merger, Sinfonía merged with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRHC (the “ Second Merger ,” and together with the First Merger, the “ Merger ”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

At the closing of the Merger, TRHC (i) paid $35 million in cash consideration, subject to adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) issued 520,833 shares of TRHC common stock (valued at $19.20 per share) (the “ Closing Consideration ”).  A portion of the cash merger consideration is being held in escrow to secure potential claims by TRHC for indemnification under the Merger Agreement and in respect of adjustments to Merger Consideration.  In addition, TRHC obtained a buyer-side representation and warranty insurance policy in connection with the Merger Agreement.

 

At the effective time of the Merger, all issued and outstanding shares of Sinfonía capital stock and options to purchase Sinfonía capital stock (“ Sinfonía Options ”) were cancelled, and all outstanding shares of Sinfonía capital stock and all vested Sinfonía Options with an exercise price less than the per share merger consideration (without taking into account any Contingent Payments) were exchanged for the Closing Consideration.

 

In addition to the Closing Consideration, holders of Sinfonía’s capital stock and vested Sinfonía Options with an exercise price less than the per share merger consideration (without taking into account any Contingent Payments) may be eligible to receive two additional contingent payments if Sinfonía achieves certain performance goals for each of the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 (each a “ Contingent Payment ” and, together, the “ Contingent Payments ”).  The Contingent Payments, if any, will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in TRHC common stock, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement. However, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, in no event will the aggregate number of shares of TRHC common stock issued as Closing Consideration and in connection with Contingent Payments exceed 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of TRHC common stock as of the close of September 5, 2017.  In addition, TRHC is not obligated to pay more than $35 million in cash and TRHC common stock for the first Contingent Payment, or more than $130 million for the aggregate overall Closing Consideration (not taking into account certain adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement) and Contingent Payments.

 

The Merger Agreement includes customary terms and conditions, including provisions that require the stockholders of Sinfonía to indemnify TRHC for certain losses that it incurs, including as a result of a breach by Sinfonía of its representations, warranties or covenants under the Merger Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The representations, warranties and covenants of the parties contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of the parties thereto. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) have been made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement, (ii) have been qualified by confidential disclosures made by Sinfonía to TRHC in connection with the Merger Agreement, (iii) are subject to materiality qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors, (iv) were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Merger Agreement and (v) have been included in the Merger Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the contracting parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement is included with this report only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the parties or their respective businesses. Investors

should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

 

Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement

 

On September 6, 2017, in connection with the Merger, TRHC, CareKinesis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ CareKinesis ”), Careventions Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Careventions ”), Capstone Performance Systems, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Capstone ”), J.A. Robertson, Inc., a California corporation (“ Robertson ”), Medliance LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“ Medliance ”), CK Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ CK Solutions ”), SinfoniaRX, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“ SinfoniaRX ”), Sinfonia, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II (together, with TRHC, CareKinesis, Careventions, Capstone, Robertson, Medliance, CK Solutions, SinfoniaRX, Sinfonia and Merger Sub I, the “ Borrowers ”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “ Loan Agreement ”) with the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto (the “ Lenders ”) and Western Alliance Bank, an Arizona corporation, as successor-in-interest to Bridge Bank, National Association, as a Lender and as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (the “ Agent ”).  The Loan Agreement provides for a $40 million revolving credit facility, with a $1 million sublimit for cash management services and letters of credit and foreign exchange transactions (the “ Credit Facility ”).  The Borrowers may request an increase in the size of the Credit Facility up to $10 million upon the successful syndication of such additional amounts (the “ Incremental Facility ”).  Amounts under the Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time until the maturity date on September 6, 2020.  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

Loans under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus an Applicable Margin.  Prime Rate is defined to mean the greater of (i) 3.5% or (ii) the prime rate published in the Money Rates section of the Western edition of The Wall Street Journal, or such other rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the Agent as its prime rate.  The Applicable Margin for each month will range from (0.25%) to 0.25%, depending on the Borrowers’ Leverage Ratio.  Initially, the Applicable Margin is 0.0%.  Interest under the Credit Facility is payable monthly.  The Credit Facility is also subject to a commitment fee of $100,000, payable upon execution of the Loan Agreement and annually thereafter.  An additional fee equal to 0.25% of the Incremental Facility will be due upon the closing of the Incremental Facility and annually thereafter.

 

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are secured by all of the assets of the Borrowers, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions as set forth in the Loan Agreement and other loan documents.

 

The Loan Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that are binding on the Borrowers, including, but not limited to, restrictions (subject to specified exceptions and qualifications) on the ability of the Borrowers to incur indebtedness, to create liens, to merge or consolidate, to make dispositions, to pay dividends or make distributions, to make investments, to pay any subordinated indebtedness, to enter into certain transactions with affiliates or to make capital expenditures.

 

In addition, the Loan Agreement requires the Borrowers to abide by certain financial covenants. Specifically, the Loan Agreement requires that the Borrowers:

 

·                   Maintain unrestricted cash balances in their accounts with the Agent plus amounts available for draw under the Credit Facility of at least $3 million at all times.

 

·                   Maintain a Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of less than 2.50:1.00, on a trailing twelve-month basis starting with the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2017, measured quarterly.

 

·                   Maintain a quarterly EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement), starting with the quarter ending December 31, 2017 and each quarter thereafter, of at least 75% of the plan approved by TRHC’s Board of Directors and the Agent, including acquisitions permitted under the Loan Agreement (and calculated on a pro-forma basis from the Closing Date).

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default (which are in some cases subject to certain exceptions, thresholds, notice requirements and grace periods).  The Loan Agreement also contains certain representations, warranties and conditions, in each case as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Item 8.01 Other Events

 

The following risk factors are provided to update the risk factors of TRHC previously disclosed in TRHC’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016:

 

We face additional risks as a result of the Merger and may be unable to integrate our businesses successfully and realize the anticipated synergies and related benefits of the Merger or do so within the anticipated timeframe.

 

On September 6, 2017, we completed our acquisition of Sinfonía. The Merger involved a combination of two companies that previously operated as independent companies, and, as a result of the Merger, the combined company faces various additional risks, including, among others, the following:

 

·                   our inability to successfully evaluate and utilize Sinfonía’s products, services, technology or personnel;

 

·                   disruption to Sinfonía’s business and operations and relationships with service providers, customers, employees and other partners;

 

4



 

·                   negative effects on our products, product pipeline and services from the changes and potential disruption that may follow the acquisition;

 

·                   diversion of our management’s attention from other strategic activities;

 

·                   our inability to successfully combine the businesses in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve the cost savings anticipated to result from the Merger;

 

·                   diversion of significant resources from the ongoing development of our existing products, services and operations; and

 

·                   greater than anticipated costs related to the integration of Sinfonía’s business and operations into ours.

 

Our ability to execute all such plans will depend on various factors, many of which remain outside our control. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business and financial results.

 

The process of integrating Sinfonía’s operations into our operations could result in unforeseen operating difficulties and require significant resources.

 

The following factors, among others, could reduce our revenues and earnings, increase our operating costs, and result in a loss of projected synergies:

 

·                   if we are unable to successfully integrate the duties, responsibilities, and other factors of interest to the management and employees of the acquired business, we could lose employees to our competitors, which could significantly affect our ability to operate the business and complete the integration;

 

·                   if we are unable to implement and retain uniform standards, controls, policies, procedures and information systems; and

 

·                   if the integration process causes any delays with the delivery of our services, or the quality of those services, we could lose customers, which would reduce our revenues and earnings.

 

The process of integrating Sinfonía and its associated services and technologies involves numerous risks that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or stock price.

 

The following factors, among others, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or stock price:

 

·                   expenses related to the acquisition process and impairment charges to goodwill and other intangible assets related to the acquisition;

 

·                   the dilutive effect on earnings per share as a result of issuances of stock and incurring operating losses;

 

·                   stock volatility due to investors’ uncertainty regarding the value of Sinfonía;

 

·                   diversion of capital from other uses;

 

·                   failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition in a timely manner, or at all; and

 

·                   adverse outcome of litigation matters or other contingent liabilities assumed in or arising out of the acquisition.

 

Notwithstanding the due diligence investigation we performed in connection with the Merger, Sinfonía may have liabilities, losses, or other exposures for which we do not have adequate insurance coverage, indemnification, or other protection.

 

While we performed significant due diligence on Sinfonía prior to signing the Merger Agreement, we are dependent on the accuracy and completeness of statements and disclosures made or actions taken by Sinfonía and its

 

5



 

representatives when conducting due diligence and evaluating the results of such due diligence.  We did not control and may be unaware of activities of Sinfonía before the acquisition, including intellectual property and other litigation claims or disputes, information security vulnerabilities, violations of laws, policies, rules and regulations, commercial disputes, tax liabilities and other known and unknown liabilities.

 

Our post-closing recourse is limited under the Merger Agreement.

 

Sinfonía’s obligation to indemnify us is limited to, among others, breaches of specified representations and warranties and covenants included in the Merger Agreement and other specific indemnities as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Except in the event Sinfonía breaches a Fundamental Representation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or with respect to fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, we cannot make a claim for indemnification pursuant to the Merger Agreement with respect to representations and warranties unless and until the indemnifiable losses exceed $337,500 and we cannot make a claim against Sinfonía for a breach of a non-Fundamental Representation after the date that is 18 months after the date of closing of the Merger.  In connection with the Merger, we obtained a representation and warranty insurance policy but we cannot make a claim under this policy for a breach of a non-Fundamental Representation after the date that is three years after the date of closing of the Merger or a breach of a Fundamental Representation or certain tax obligations after the date that is six years after the date of the closing of the Merger.  If any issues arise post-closing, we may not be entitled to sufficient, or any, indemnification or recourse from Sinfonía or our representation and warranty insurance policy, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

(c)                                   Payment of Contingent Payments .

 

(i)                                      Contingent Payments, if any, required to be paid by Buyer to Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.11 with respect to a Contingent Period, shall be paid by Buyer as promptly as practicable and in no event later than 5 days after the final determination of the Contingent Statement (each, a “ Payment Date ”), unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative.  Contingent Payments, if any, shall be paid 50% in cash (“ Contingent Cash Consideration ”) and 50% in Buyer Stock (“ Contingent Stock Consideration ”), except as otherwise contemplated herein, including Section 2.12 and Section 2.13 , which Contingent Stock Consideration shall be at the applicable Contingent Buyer Stock Value.  Payment of any cash or the issuance of any Buyer Stock to which Equity Holders are entitled shall be made by Buyer to the Paying Agent and the Surviving Corporation for further distribution to the Equity Holders at the direction of the Stockholders’ Representative.  All payments of Contingent Cash Consideration shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.4(d) and Section 2.12 .

 

(ii)                                   Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, (A) in no event shall the amount of the First Contingent Payment exceed $35,000,000, (B) if the Adjusted EBITDA of the Surviving Corporation for the Second Contingent Period is equal to or less than the Adjusted EBITDA of the Surviving Corporation for the First Contingent Period, then Buyer shall have no obligation to pay the Second Contingent Payment, (C) prior to the payment of the Second Contingent Payment by Buyer in accordance with this Section 2.11 , Buyer shall first pay (on behalf of the Borrowers (as such term is defined in the HSL Loan Agreement)) the Bonus Interest, if applicable, to HSL Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing to Buyer by either the HSL Lender or the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the HSL Lender) (a “ Bonus Interest Payment ”), and the Second Contingent Payment to be paid by Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be reduced by the Bonus Interest Payment, if applicable; and (D) the aggregate amount to be paid by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the Baseline Amount and Contingent Payments (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Bonus Interest Payment) shall not exceed $130,000,000, and in the event that the payment of the

 

25



 

Second Contingent Payment would result in the aggregate amount of the Baseline Amount and Contingent Payment to exceed $130,000,000, the Second Contingent Payment shall be reduced such that the aggregate amount paid by Buyer in respect of the Baseline Amount and the Contingent Payments equals $130,000,000.  The HSL Lender shall be considered a third party beneficiary for purposes of subpart (C) of the previous sentence with the right to enforce such subpart against Buyer.

 

(d)                                  Operation of the Company during Contingent Periods .  Except as Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative may otherwise agree in writing, from the Closing Date until the end of the Second Contingent Period (the “ Separation Period ”):

 

(i)                                      Buyer will operate the Surviving Corporation as a separate division or subsidiary, and in any event, in such a manner as to permit the Parties to determine the Adjusted EBITDA for the Group Companies on a monthly basis for each Contingent Period.

 

(ii)                                   Buyer will maintain or cause to be maintained separate or otherwise identifiable (e.g., in the case of a shared general ledger) books and records at all times during the Contingent Periods in a manner reasonably necessary for the financial statements of the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries to be prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

(iii)                                The Company understands, acknowledges and agrees that Buyer is entitled to manage and operate Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries, in its reasonable business discretion; provided that the finance and accounting departments of the Company will initially remain in Tucson Arizona following the Closing and Buyer will use commercially efforts to transition such departments to Buyer’s corporate headquarters by December 31, 2017.

 

(iv)                               During the Separation Period, (x) without the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, compensation of any management employees of the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date will not be increased by more than ten percent (10%) from their current levels, (y) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain Kevin Boesen as the person responsible for the management of the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries and (z) the Surviving Corporation’s medication therapy management business will be conducted primarily within the Surviving Corporation.

 

(e)                                   Right of Set-Off .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without prejudice to any other right or remedy Buyer has or may have, Buyer shall have the right, at its option in its sole discretion, to withhold and set-off against any amount otherwise due to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.11 the amount of any Losses to which, it has been finally determined, any Buyer Indemnitees may be entitled under Article XI of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

(f)                                    Transferability .  For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of the Equity Holders to receive Contingent Payments hereto shall not be transferable.

 

2.12                         Adjustment to Merger Consideration to Preserve Intended Tax Treatment of Mergers . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary other than Section 2.13 , with respect to the Mergers, the aggregate amount of the Buyer Stock payable as Merger Consideration (which, as contemplated by Section 2.11(a) shall include the Contingent Payments, if any) pursuant to this Agreement that must be included in the measurement of “continuity of interest” pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(e)(2) (the “ 40% COI Test ”) shall not be less than forty percent (40%) of the aggregate of all amounts that must be included in the measurement of continuity of interest pursuant to

 

26



 

the 40% COI Test , calculated in accordance with the assumptions set forth in this Section 2.12 including those with respect to the Contingent Payments.  Solely for the purpose of this Section 2.12 , it shall be assumed the entire Adjustment Escrow Amount and Indemnification Escrow Amount were fully paid to the Equity Holders as Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement and the Agreement Date Closing Price of Buyer Stock shall be used rather than the Buyer Stock Value for the purpose of the 40% COI Test calculation (such requirement, the “ COI Requirement ”).  Furthermore, the COI Requirement shall be applied to the Mergers using “closed transaction” federal income tax principles as well as the “contingent stock” federal income tax principles set forth in Rev. Proc. 84-42 as to the operation, after the Closing Date, of the Contingent Payment provisions and Section 2.13 of this Agreement such that for the purpose of applying this Section 2.12 on the Closing Date the Contingent Payment rights shall not be treated solely as non-stock consideration for purposes of the COI Requirement and shall instead be treated as stock consideration for purposes of the COI Requirement to the extent of the probability adjusted estimate of the Buyer that Contingent Stock Consideration shall ultimately be paid (as compared to Contingent Cash Consideration) given the application of Section 2.13 .  In the event the amount of Buyer Stock otherwise payable as Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.4 would be insufficient for the Mergers to satisfy the COI Requirement but subject to Section 2.13 , then the amount of Buyer Stock otherwise payable as Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be increased (with a corresponding decrease in the amount of the cash otherwise payable as Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.4 and with the adjustment to each of the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration being based on the Agreement Date Closing Price) to the extent necessary for the Mergers to meet the COI Requirement, it being understood that such adjustment shall be made in a manner that results in the lowest increase in payment of Buyer Stock pursuant to this Section 2.12 necessary to satisfy the COI Requirement.

 

2.13                         Buyer Stockholder Vote Override Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event an adjustment to the Merger Consideration is required pursuant to Section 2.11 , Section 2.12 or any other provision of this Agreement that would result in the issuance of more than the Maximum Share Number, Buyer may, at its sole and exclusive option, solicit such stockholder consent in accordance with NASDAQ rules and regulations in order to issue Buyer Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Number or increase the Contingent Cash Consideration (with a corresponding decrease to the Contingent Stock Consideration), and in no event shall Buyer be required to issue Buyer Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Number absent receipt of such stockholder consent. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.13 shall apply cumulatively to payments of Merger Consideration from and after the Closing Date.

 

2.14                         Lost Certificates .  If any certificate representing any Outstanding Shares have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of such Outstanding Shares as contemplated under this Article II .

11.4                         Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims .

 

(a)                            In the event that any claim or demand, or other circumstance or state of facts which could give rise to any claim or demand, for which an Indemnifying Party may be liable to an Indemnitee hereunder is asserted or sought to be collected by a third party (a “ Third Party Claim ”), the Indemnitee shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Indemnifying Party a notice (“ Notice of Claim ”) with respect to such Third Party Claim.  The Notice of Claim shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and (ii) to the extent known by the Indemnitee, set forth a reasonable estimate of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled hereunder. The Indemnitee shall enclose with the Notice of Claim a copy of all papers served with respect to such Third Party Claim, if any, and any other documents evidencing such Third Party Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay or deficiency on the part of an Indemnitee in so notifying the Indemnifying Party will limit any Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Article  XI (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such proceeding).

 

(b)                            The Indemnifying Party will have 15 calendar days from the date on which the Indemnifying Party received the Notice of Claim to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnifying Party desires to assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice and at its sole cost and expense (a “ Third Party Defense ”). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the Third Party Defense in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim but the Indemnifying Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, (ii) the Indemnitee will not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee. The Parties will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The Parties will also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto to the extent permitted by applicable Law or applicable contractual restrictions, subject to entering into appropriate confidentiality agreements.

 

(c)                             If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the Third Party Defense within 15 calendar days of receipt of the Notice of Claim, the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume the Third Party Defense (and, if the Indemnitee incurs a Loss with respect to the matter in question for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section  11.2 or Section 11.3 , at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party; provided that , the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the Third Party Defense at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, but the Indemnitee shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof.

 

(d)                            Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Indemnifying Parties) assume, maintain control of, or participate in, the defense of any proceeding (i) involving Losses in excess of the value of any remaining amount in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, (ii) involving criminal liability on the part of any Buyer Indemnitee, (iii) that is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company or the Surviving Corporation following the Mergers, or (iv) in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against a Buyer Indemnitee.

 

73



 

11.5                         Indemnification Procedures for Direct Claims .  Any claim by an Indemnitee on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “ Direct Claim ”) shall be asserted by the Indemnitee giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof.  The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by reason of such failure.  Such notice by the Indemnitee shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 calendar days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim.  During such 30 day period, the Indemnitee shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnitee shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such reasonable information and assistance as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request.  If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

11.6                         Characterization of Indemnification Payments .  Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties shall treat any indemnification payment made hereunder as an adjustment to Merger Consideration and is limited to the extent of the Merger Consideration received or to be received.

(c)           Payments .  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the tenth calendar day of each month during the term hereof.  Administrative Agent shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Administrative Agent Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.  Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.  All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that the Lenders and Administrative Agent will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless of source of payment.

 

(d)           Computation .  In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate.  All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

2.4           Crediting Payments .  Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lenders shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrowers specify.  After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by any Lender of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by any Lender after 12:00 noon Eastern time shall be deemed to have been received by any Lender as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.  Whenever any payment to any Lender under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

 

2.5           Fees .  Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, the following:

 

(a)           Facility Fees .  On each of the Closing Date and on each anniversary of the Closing Date, a fee payable to each Lender with respect to the Revolving Facility equal to 0.25% of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment under such

 

22



 

Revolving Facility.  On each of the date of the closing of the Incremental Facility and on each anniversary of the closing of the Incremental Facility, a fee payable to each Lender with respect to the Incremental Facility equal to 0.25% of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment under such Incremental Facility; and

 

(b)           Administrative Agent Expenses .  On the Closing Date, all Administrative Agent Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, including attorneys’ fees and expenses and, after the Closing Date, all Administrative Agent Expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, as and when they are incurred by Administrative Agent.

 

2.6           Term .  This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 14.8, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or any Lenders have any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have the right to terminate any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Notwithstanding termination, Administrative Agent’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.

 

2.7           Extension of Maturity .  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to extend the Revolving Maturity Date to the tenth day of the month next following the actual Revolving Maturity Date as stated in this Agreement.

 

2.8           Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

 

(a)           Each borrowing by Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by Borrowers on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders.

 

(b)           Each payment (including prepayments) by Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Line shall be made in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the outstanding principal amounts of the Advances of the Lenders.

 

(c)           All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff and shall be made prior to 12:00 noon Eastern time on the due date thereof to the Lenders in Dollars and in immediately available funds.  Any payment received by any Lender after 12:00 noon Eastern time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

 

23



 

(d)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Borrowers on such date in accordance with Section 2.

 

(e)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrowers prior to the proposed date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder that Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Loan Party.

 

(f)            [Reserved].

 

(g)           The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to (i) make Advances, or (ii) to make payments pursuant to Section 10.7, as applicable, are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any such Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any such payment under Section 10.7 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.7.

 

(h)           Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

 

(i)            If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to any Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i)  first , to pay Administrative Agent Expenses, (ii)  second , to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers, (iii)  third , toward payment of interest and fees, Overadvances then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with their Revolving Percentages, the amounts of interest and fees, Overadvances then due to such parties, (iv)  fourth , toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with their Revolving Percentages, (v)  fifth , if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay an amount to Bank equal to one hundred percent (100%) of outstanding amounts under the Cash Management Sublimit, (vi)  sixth , if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay an amount to Bank equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of outstanding amounts under the International Sublimit, and (vii)  seventh , to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party.

 

(j)            If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the principal of or interest on any Loan made by it or other obligations hereunder, as applicable (other than pursuant to a provision hereof providing for non-pro rata treatment), in excess of its Revolving

 

24



 

Percentage of such payment on account of the Loans or participations obtained by all of the Lenders, such Lender shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such payment, and (b) within five (5) Business Days of such receipt, purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), without recourse, such participations in the Revolving Line made by them, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages; provided, however , that if 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.  Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.  No documentation other than notices and the like referred to in this Section shall be required to implement the terms of this Section.  The Administrative Agent shall keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased pursuant to this Section and shall in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchase.  The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by or on behalf of Borrowers 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), (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to Borrowers or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).  Each Borrower consents on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party 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 each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

 

(k)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, without Borrowers’ request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 would not be satisfied, make one or more Advances in an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations constituting overdue interest and fees from time to time due and payable to itself, or any Lender, and apply the proceeds of any such Advances to those Obligations; provided that after giving effect to any such Advances, the aggregate outstanding Advances will not exceed the Revolving Line then in effect.

 

2.9           Illegality; Requirements of Law.

 

(a)           Requirements of Law .  If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the administration, interpretation, implementation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or the making or issuance of any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

 

(i)            shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, loan principal, letters of

 

25



 

credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

 

(ii)           shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; or

 

(iii)          impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient, or to reduce the amount of any sum receivable or received by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder in respect thereof (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, in any such case, upon the request of such Lender or other Recipient, Borrowers will promptly pay such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, any additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

 

(b)           If any Lender determines that any change in any Requirement of Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such change in such Requirement of Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)           For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case (i) and (ii) be deemed to be a change in any Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

 

(d)           A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section submitted by any Lender to Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this

 

26



 

Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of the change in the Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.  The obligations of Borrowers arising pursuant to this Section shall survive the Discharge of Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

 

2.10         Taxes.   For purposes of this Section the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

 

(a)           Payments Free of Taxes .  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law and Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party, to comply with the requirements set forth in this Section.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b)           Payment of Other Taxes .  Borrowers shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes applicable to such Loan Party.

 

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

 

(d)           Indemnification by Loan Parties .  Borrowers shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including any recording and filing fees with respect thereto or resulting therefrom and any liabilities with respect to, or

 

27



 

resulting from, any delay in paying such Indemnified Taxes), 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 Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  If any Loan Party fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

 

(e)           Indemnification by Lenders .  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section.

 

(f)            Status of Lenders .

 

(i)            Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.10(f)(ii)a, 2.10(f)(ii)b, and 2.10(f)(ii)d) below) shall not be required if the Lender is not legally entitled to complete, execute or deliver such documentation or, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

28



 

(ii)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrowers are U.S. Persons,

 

a.             any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrowers 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

b.             any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers 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 Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

i.              in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the 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, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form) 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, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form) 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;

 

ii.             executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

iii.            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under  Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form); or

 

iv.            to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3 , IRS Form W-9,

 

29



 

and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

c.             any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers 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 Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

d.             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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause d, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

(iii)          Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.  Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Borrowers (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

 

(g)           Treatment of Certain Refunds .  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has

 

30



 

been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

(h)           Survival .  Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the Discharge of Obligations.

 

2.11         Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.9(a), Section 2.9(b), Section 2.10(a), or Section 2.10(d) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans affected by such event or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.9 or 2.10, 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; provided that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrowers or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(a), Section 2.9(b), Section 2.10(a), or Section 2.10(d).  Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment made at the request of Borrowers.

 

2.12         Substitution of Lenders.   Upon the receipt by Borrowers of any of the following (or in the case of clause (a) below, if Borrowers are required to pay any such amount), with respect to any Lender (any such Lender described in clauses (a) through (c) below being referred to as an “Affected Lender” hereunder):

 

(a)           a request from a Lender for payment of Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts under Section 2.10 or of increased costs pursuant to Section 2.9 (and, in any such case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.11 or is a Non-Consenting Lender);

 

31



 

(b)           a notice from the Administrative Agent under Section 14.5(b) that one or more Minority Lenders are unwilling to agree to an amendment or other modification approved by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent; or

 

(c)           a notice from the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender;

(a)           Declare all or any portion of Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Administrative Agent);

(d)           Make such payments and do such acts as Administrative Agent considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral.  Borrowers agree to assemble the Collateral if Administrative Agent so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may designate.  Each Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Administrative Agent’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith.  With respect to any of a Borrower’s owned premises, each Borrower hereby grants Administrative Agent a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

 

(e)           Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrowers held by Administrative Agent, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers held by Administrative Agent;

(g)           Dispose of the Collateral by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrowers’ premises) as Administrative Agent determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Administrative Agent deems appropriate;

(i)            Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrowers.

 

9.2           Power of Attorney .  Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent (and any of Administrative Agent’s designated officers, or employees) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to:  (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Administrative Agent’s possession; (c) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to such Borrower’s policies of insurance; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Administrative Agent determines to be reasonable; and (g) to file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral.  The appointment of Administrative Agent as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Administrative Agent’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Administrative Agent’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions hereunder is terminated.

 

9.3           Accounts Collection .  At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may notify any Person owing funds to Borrowers of Administrative Agent’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account.  Borrowers shall collect for Administrative Agent all amounts owing to Borrowers, receive in trust all such payments as Administrative Agent’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Administrative Agent in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

 

9.4           Administrative Agent Expenses .  If Borrowers fail to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Administrative Agent may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrowers:  (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the a loan facility in Section 2.1 as Administrative Agent deems necessary to

 

50



 

protect Administrative Agent and the Lenders from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.7 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Administrative Agent deems prudent.  Any amounts so paid or deposited by Administrative Agent shall constitute Administrative Agent Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral.  Any payments made by Administrative Agent shall not constitute an agreement by Administrative Agent to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Administrative Agent of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

 

9.5           Administrative Agent’s Liability for Collateral .  So long as Administrative Agent complies with reasonable banking practices, Administrative Agent shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for:  (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever.  All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.

 

9.6           Shares .  Borrowers recognize that Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Shares, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in federal securities laws and applicable state and provincial securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Borrowers acknowledge and agree that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under federal securities laws or under applicable state and provincial securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which continues, Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise all such rights as a secured party under the Code as it, in its sole judgment, shall deem necessary or appropriate, including without limitation the right to liquidate the Shares and apply the proceeds thereof to reduce the Obligations.  Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent (and any of Administrative Agent’s designated officers, or employees) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to enforce such Borrower’s rights against any Subsidiary, including the right to compel any Subsidiary to make to Administrative Agent or a Borrower any payments or distributions respecting the Shares which are owing to such Borrower.

 

9.7           Remedies Cumulative .  Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.  Administrative Agent for itself and on behalf of the Lenders shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity.  No exercise by Administrative Agent or any Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default on a

 

51



 

Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver.  No delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.  No waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Administrative Agent and/or such Lender and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

 

9.8           Demand; Protest .  Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Administrative Agent on which Borrowers may in any way be liable.

10.1         Appointment and Authority.

 

(a)           Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

 

(b)           The provisions of Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities to any Lender or any other Person, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

52



 

the benefits of all provisions of this Section and Section 14 (including Section 10.7, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the collateral agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is further authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action, or permit any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent to take any action, with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon any Collateral granted pursuant to any Loan Document.

 

10.2         Delegation of Duties.   The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

 

10.3         Exculpatory Provisions.   The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not:

 

(a)           be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b)           have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), as applicable; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Laws or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Laws; and

 

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

 

53



 

communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9 and 14.5), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 

10.4         Reliance by Administrative Agent.   The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, FX Contracts or the provision of Cash Management Services, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, FX Contracts or the provision of Cash Management Services.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any of the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from

 

54



 

acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

 

10.5         Notice of Default.   The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice in writing from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the lenders, or, if so specified by this Agreement, as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from taking such action with respect to such default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

10.6         Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.   Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Group Member or any affiliate of a Group Member, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their affiliates and made its own credit analysis and decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Group Member or any Affiliate of a Group Member that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

 

10.7         Indemnification.   Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties in its capacity as such (to the extent not

 

55



 

reimbursed by Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers or any other Loan Party to do so) according to its Aggregate Exposure Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such other Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such other Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing and any other amounts not reimbursed by Borrowers or such other Loan Party; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the Administrative Agent’s or such other Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

10.8         Agent in Its Individual Capacity.   The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

10.9        Successor Administrative Agent .

 

(a)           Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrowers.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrowers, to appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above and be an Eligible Assignee.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

 

(b)           If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrowers and such Person remove such

 

56



 

Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with Borrowers, appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

 

(c)           With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and such collateral security is assigned to such successor Administrative Agent) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of Section 10 and Section 14.2, 14.8, 14.10, 14.10, 14.11, and 14.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.

 

10.10       Collateral and Guaranty Matters .

 

(a)           The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

 

(i)            to release any Lien on any Collateral or other property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (1) upon the Discharge of Obligations, (2) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (3) subject to Section 14.4, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

 

(ii)           to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral or other property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (c) of the definition of Permitted

 

57



 

Liens; and to release any guarantor from its obligations under any guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents;

 

(b)           Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any guarantor from its obligations under any guaranty; and

 

(c)           The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

 

10.11       Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.   In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or any 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 Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a)           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 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 their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.5, 14.2, 14.8, 14.10, 14.10, 14.11, and 14.12) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

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

 

and 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, in the event that 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 Sections 2.5, 14.2 , 14.8, 14.10, 14.10, 14.11, and 14.12.

 

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 to

 

58



 

authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 

10.12       No Other Duties, Etc.   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the “Bookrunners”, “Arrangers” or “Lead Arrangers” that may be listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

 

10.13       Survival.   This Section shall survive the Discharge of Obligations.

12.           CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

 

This Agreement and all other Loan Documents (except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.  Borrowers, Administrative Agent and the Lenders each hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in the County of Santa Clara, State of California.  BORROWERS, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS.  EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.  This Section shall survive the Discharge of Obligations.

 

13.           JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION.

 

13.1         In the event the jury trial waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this judicial reference provision.

 

13.2         With the exception of the items specified in Section 13.3, below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding.  Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the state or federal court in the county or district where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in the state or federal court in the county or district where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

 

60



 

13.3         The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following:  (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver, and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions).  This reference provision does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv).  The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this reference provision as provided herein.

 

13.4         The referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties.  If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative).  A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted.  Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each party shall have one peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative).

 

13.5         The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings.  Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

 

13.6         The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery.  The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever.  Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service.  All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

 

13.7         Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding.  All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript.  The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter.  Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

 

61



 

13.8         The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California.  The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding.  The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication.  The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference.  Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive.  The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee.  The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

 

13.9         If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration.  The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through § 1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time.  The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

 

13.10       THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY.  AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(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 and/or the Revolving Commitments assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

 

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (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 2.9, 2.10, 14.2, 14.8, 14.10, 14.11, 14.12, and 14.13 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

 

(c)           Register .  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which affects such Participant and for which the consent of such Lender is required (as described in Section 14.5).  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9 and 2.10 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.10(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.10(f) shall be delivered to such Participant)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.1(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12 as if it were an assignee under Section 14.1(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.9 and 2.10, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in any Requirement of Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.12 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.13 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.8(j) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

(e)           Certain Pledges .  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; 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.

14.3         Time of Essence .  Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

 

14.4         Severability of Provisions .  Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

15.1         Co-Borrowers .  Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the Obligations and Administrative Agent and any Lender may proceed against one Borrower to enforce the Obligations without waiving its right to proceed against any other Borrower.  This Agreement and the Loan Documents are a primary and original obligation of each Borrower and shall remain in effect notwithstanding future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity in the creation or acquisition of any Obligations or in the execution or delivery of any agreement between Administrative Agent and any Borrower.  Each Borrower shall be liable for existing and future Obligations as fully as if all of the Credit Extensions were advanced to such Borrower.  Administrative Agent may rely on any certificate or representation made by any Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers, including without limitation advance request forms and compliance certificates.  Each Borrower appoints each other Borrower as its agent with all necessary power and authority to give and receive notices, certificates or demands for and on behalf of all Borrowers, to act as disbursing agent for receipt of any Credit Extensions on behalf of each Borrower and to apply to Administrative Agent on behalf of each Borrower for any Credit Extension, any waivers and any consents.  This authorization cannot be revoked, and Administrative Agent need not inquire as to one Borrower’s authority to act for or on behalf of another Borrower.

 

15.2         Subrogation and Similar Rights .  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives, until all Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders have no further obligation to make Credit Extensions to Borrowers, all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating a Borrower to the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any

Expanding its Medication Therapy Management Offering

Combined technologies, resources offer broader MTM solutions to healthcare organizations

 

Moorestown, N.J., September 6 th , 2017 — Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc. (“TRHC”) (NASDAQ:TRHC), a healthcare technology company optimizing medication safety by deploying new medication risk mitigation digital software solutions and novel, proprietary medication decision support tools, today announced that it has acquired SinfoníaRx, a leading provider of Medication Therapy Management (“MTM”) technology and services for Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial Health plans.

 

“Medication safety is, and has always been, our highest priority. SinfoníaRx’s mission of improving medication therapies is consistent with TRHC’s vision.” said Calvin H. Knowlton, PhD, TRHC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We view this transaction as an extension of our vision, which is to be the vanguard in optimizing medication therapy while providing outcomes that improve quality of life and conserve resources.”

 

Kevin Boesen, PharmD, Chief Executive Officer of SinfoníaRx noted, “In addition to our aligned business philosophies, Tabula Rasa is a good cultural fit.
