Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On October 1, 2018, Tenneco Inc. (“Tenneco”) entered into a Credit Agreement among Tenneco and Tenneco Automotive Operating Company Inc. (“TAOC”), as borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Credit Facility”) in connection with the acquisition of Federal-Mogul LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Federal-Mogul”) on October 1, 2018. The Credit Facility consists of $4.9 billion of total debt financing, consisting of a $1.7 billion term loan A, a $1.7 billion term loan B and a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. Proceeds from the Credit Facility were used to finance the cash consideration portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Federal-Mogul (the “Acquisition”), to refinance Tenneco’s existing senior credit facilities and certain senior credit facilities of Federal-Mogul and to pay fees and expenses relating to the Acquisition and the financing thereof, and the remainder, including future borrowings under the revolving credit facility, will be used for general corporate purposes.

Each of Tenneco and TAOC are borrowers under the revolving credit facility, and Tenneco is the sole borrower under the term loan A and term loan B facilities. The Credit Facility is guaranteed on a senior basis by certain material domestic subsidiaries of Tenneco. Drawings under the revolving credit facility may be in U.S. Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros.

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all domestic assets of Tenneco and the subsidiary guarantors and by pledges of up to 66 percent of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries. The security for the Credit Facility will be pari passu with the security for outstanding senior secured notes of Federal-Mogul that were assumed by Tenneco in connection with the Acquisition, as described below. If any foreign subsidiary of Tenneco is added to the revolving credit facility as a borrower, the obligations of such foreign borrower will be secured by the assets of such foreign borrower, and also will be secured by the assets of, and guaranteed by, the domestic borrowers and domestic guarantors as well as certain foreign subsidiaries of Tenneco in the chain of ownership of such foreign borrower.

The term loan A and revolving credit facilities will mature on the fifth anniversary of closing, and the term loan B facility will mature on the seventh anniversary of closing. The term loan A facility is payable in 19 consecutive quarterly installments, commencing March 31, 2019, with 5% being paid annually in each of the first two years, 7.5% in the third year, 10% annually in each of the fourth and fifth years and the remainder on the maturity date. The term loan B facility is payable in 27 consecutive quarterly installments, commencing March 31, 2019, with 0.25% being paid in 27 quarterly installments and the remainder on the maturity date.

The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the term loan A facility will initially be LIBOR plus 1.75%, which interest rate will be subject to change if Tenneco’s consolidated net leverage ratio changes. Initially, and so long as Tenneco’s corporate family rating is Ba3 (with a stable outlook) or higher from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and BB- (with a stable outlook) or higher from Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), the interest rate on borrowings under the term loan B facility will be LIBOR plus 2.75%; at any time the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, the interest rate on the term loan B facility will be LIBOR plus 3.00%. When the term loan B facility is no longer outstanding and Tenneco and its subsidiaries have no other secured indebtedness (with certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Facility), and upon Tenneco achieving and maintaining two or more corporate credit and/or corporate family ratings higher than or equal to BBB- from S&P, BBB- from Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) and/or Baa3 from Moody’s (in each case, with a stable or positive outlook), the collateral under the Credit Facility may be released.

The Credit Facility contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants which are customary for debt facilities of this type. The negative covenants limit the ability of Tenneco and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends or make distributions to Tenneco’s stockholders, (iii) purchase or redeem Tenneco’s equity interests, (iv) make investments, (v) create liens on their assets, (vi) enter into transactions with Tenneco’s affiliates, (vii) sell assets and (viii) merge or consolidate with, or dispose of substantially all of Tenneco’s assets to, other companies. The Credit Facility also contains two financial maintenance covenants for the revolving credit facility and the term loan A facility including (x) a requirement to have a consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) as of the end of each fiscal quarter of not greater than 4.0 to 1 through September 30, 2019, 3.75 to 1 through September 30, 2020 and 3.5 to 1 thereafter; and (y) a requirement to maintain consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of not less than 2.75 to 1.0.     


The Credit Facility includes customary events of default and other provisions that could require all amounts due thereunder to become immediately due and payable, either automatically or at the option of the lenders, if Tenneco fails to comply with the terms of the Credit Facility or if other customary events occur. The Credit Facility does not contain any terms that could accelerate the payment of it as a result of a credit rating change.

The foregoing description of the Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.01 to this report, and which is incorporated by reference. The Credit Facility has been incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this report to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Tenneco or its subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Credit Facility were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Credit Facility and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Credit Facility, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made by each party to the other for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between them that differ from those applicable to investors. In addition, certain representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to investors and may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Credit Facility, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by Tenneco. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Tenneco or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or businesses.

Tenneco expressly assumed all of Federal-Mogul LLC’s rights and obligations under the 2024 Fixed Rate Secured Notes and the June 2017 Indenture pursuant to a fourth supplemental indenture, dated as of October 1, 2018, among Tenneco and Federal-Mogul Financing Corporation, as co-issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and the trustee, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.27 to this report.


The Secured Notes are the senior secured obligations of Tenneco and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by all of Tenneco’s subsidiaries that are guarantors under Tenneco’s new Credit Facility described above and Tenneco’s outstanding senior unsecured notes. The Secured Notes are secured by substantially all domestic assets of Tenneco and the subsidiary guarantors and by pledges of up to 66 percent of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries.

Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate. Interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such indebtedness during the applicable period.

For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.

(c)    The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Register.

(d)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this Section 1.05(f) shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part.

(g)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including the Depository, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and the Depository may provide its proxy to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such Depository’s standing instructions and customary practices.

(h)    The Company may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note held by Common Depository entitled under the procedures of such Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders.

Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee or (ii) the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuers in their discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

 

47


Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers.

Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.11 Cancellation . The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee or the Registrar for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent may forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.

The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment and shall promptly send or cause to be sent to each affected Holder, the Paying Agent and the Trustee a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Section 2.13 Common Code, ISINs, etc. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent shall use ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided , however , that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers shall promptly advise the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent in writing of any change in the ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.

 

48


Section 2.14 Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes . The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes outstanding at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 13.06 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

57


entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), then the Issuers shall, in their sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities on the Issue Date shall be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under Section 4.03(b)(i). In addition, in the event an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued pursuant to the second paragraph of this covenant (other than clause (xiv) above) on the same date that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued under Section 4.03(a) or clause (xiv) above, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, or applicable leverage ratio, will be calculated with respect to such incurrence or issuance under Section 4.03(a) or clause (xiv) above without regard to any incurrence or issuance under Section 4.03(b) (other than clause (xiv) above).

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class, accretion or amortization of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03. Any Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, to refinance Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (xii), (xiii), (xiv) and (xviii), of Section 4.03(b) will be permitted to include additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to pay (I) any accrued and unpaid interest on the Indebtedness, any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Disqualified Stock being so refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased and (II) the amount of any tender premium or penalty or premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument or documents governing such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and any defeasance costs and any fees and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance of such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock (and, with respect to Indebtedness under the Initial ABL Facility, will be permitted to include an amount equal to any unutilized Initial ABL Facility being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased to the extent permanently terminated at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness).

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness (plus premium (including tender premiums), fees, defeasance costs, accrued interest and expenses including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. The principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of this Section 4.03 shall be determined after giving effect to the appreciation of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any other such Indebtedness.

For purposes of this Indenture (1) unsecured Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured and (2) senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

(b)    any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received) within 365 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and

(b)    Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, at the Company’s option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,

(i)    to the extent such Net Proceeds represent proceeds from an Asset Sale of PP&E Collateral, (a) repay, prepay, defease, redeem, purchase or otherwise retire PP&E First Lien Obligations (and if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) or (b) make an investment in (i) any one or more businesses primarily engaged in a Similar Business; provided that such investment in any business is in the form of (x) a merger with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (y) the acquisition of Capital Stock that results in the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary or (z) the acquisition of Capital Stock or other assets of such business, (ii) properties, (iii) capital expenditures and (iv) the acquisition of Capital Stock or other assets, that in each of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), are used or useful in a Similar Business or replace the businesses, properties and assets that are subject of such Asset Sale; or

(iii)    to the extent that such Net Proceeds do not represent proceeds from an Asset Sale of PP&E Collateral, to make an Investment in (a) any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) properties or (c) other assets that, in the case of each of (a), (b) and (c), replace the businesses, properties and/or other assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; or

(iv)    any combination of the foregoing;

provided that, in the case of clauses (i)(b) and (iii) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “ Acceptable Commitment ”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds (as defined below).

 

69


Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “ Foreign Disposition ”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the amount equal to the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this covenant, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Company hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and if such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, an amount equal to such Net Proceeds permitted to be repatriated will be applied (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) in compliance with this covenant (net of any additional taxes that are or would be payable or reserved against as a result thereof) and (ii) to the extent that the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition could have a material adverse tax consequence (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any purchase whereby doing so the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates and/or equity partners would incur a material tax liability, including a material tax dividend, material deemed dividend pursuant to Code Section 956 or material withholding tax), the amount equal to the Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this covenant. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent this covenant relates to Net Proceeds realized by any Excluded Subsidiary, this covenant shall be an obligation of the Company (and not such Excluded Subsidiary) to make a payment or an offer to purchase, in each case, measured by the amount of such Net Proceeds and nothing in Section 4.06 shall be construed as an obligation of any Excluded Subsidiary to make a payment or repatriate any Net Proceeds (or to effect an offer to purchase) or an obligation of the Company or any Guarantor to cause an Excluded Subsidiary to make a payment or repatriate Net Proceeds (or effect an offer to purchase).

Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in this Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b), shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “ Excess Proceeds. ” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $60.0 million, the Issuers shall make an offer to all Holders of Notes (an “ Asset Sale Offer ”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes that is at least €100,000 and an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuers will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $60.0 million by sending the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee and Paying Agent, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream or the relevant clearing system.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to compliance with other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered in an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuers or the Registrar shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described in Section 3.04. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion).

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.06, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(b)    The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided , however , that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers of their obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c)    The Issuers hereby designate the office of the Registrar or its agent as such office or agency of the Issuers in accordance with Section 2.04.

Section 4.14 Suspension of Certain Covenants .

(a)    If, on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes of any Series have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture then, beginning on that day and continuing at all times thereafter until the Reversion Date (as defined below) (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “ Covenant Suspension Event ”), the covenants specifically listed in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.11 and clause (iv) of Section 5.01(a) of this Indenture (collectively, the “ Suspended Covenants ” and each individually, a “ Suspended Covenant ”) will not be applicable to the Notes. In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “ Reversion Date ”) that the Notes no longer have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period beginning on the day of a Covenant Suspension Event and ending on a Reversion Date is called the “ Suspension Period.

On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iii). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 shall be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. No Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date (or thereafter) under any Suspended Covenant solely as a result of any actions taken by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, or events occurring, during the Suspension Period. On and after each Reversion Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any contract entered into during the Suspension Period (and not in contemplation of the Reversion Date) so long as such contract and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period.

 

76


(b)    For purposes of Section 4.05, on the Reversion Date, any contractual encumbrances or restrictions of the type specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 4.05 entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect on the Issue Date, so that they are permitted under clause (1) of Section 4.05.

(c)    For purposes of Section 4.06, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.

(d)    For purposes of Section 4.07, any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to a contract, agreement, loan, advance or guaranty with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect as of the Issue Date for purposes of Section 4.07(b)(vi). Within 10 days following the Reversion Date, any Guarantees released solely upon the related Covenant Suspension Event shall be reinstated and the Company must comply with the terms of Section 4.11.

(e)    During a Suspension Period, the Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the second sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.”

(f)    The Issuers shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying it of the commencement or termination of any Suspension Period. The Trustee shall have no independent obligation to determine if a Suspension Period has commenced or terminated, to notify the Holders regarding the same or to determine the consequences thereof.

Section 4.15 Limitations on FinCo . FinCo (and any successor to FinCo) shall not hold any material assets, become liable for any material obligations or engage in any trade or business activity, other than (1) the ownership of Equity Interests of the Company, (2) the incurrence of Indebtedness as a co-obligor or guarantor with respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4.03 and (3) activities incidental to any of the foregoing.

83


Section 6.02 Acceleration . If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes of the applicable series by notice to the Company and the Paying Agent (and if given by the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee) may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes of the applicable series to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be due and payable immediately.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes of the applicable series shall be due and payable without further action or notice.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding applicable series of Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences:

(1)    if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(2)    if all existing Events of Default have been cured, waived, annulled or rescinded except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(3)    to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and

(4)    if the Company has paid the Trustee and the Paying Agent hereunder its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee and the Paying Agent for its expenses, disbursements and advances.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies . If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent permitted by law, all available remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults . Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on the behalf of all Holders waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (a) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a continuing Default or Event of Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority . The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

 

84


Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits .

Section 9.02 With Consent of the Holders . Notwithstanding Section 9.01 of this Indenture and subject to Section 9.06, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the applicable series of Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any past or existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, any series of Notes or the

Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with the purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, any applicable series of Notes). Section 2.09 and Section 13.04 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding series of Notes affected, an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to any Notes of that series held by a non-consenting Holder:

(i)    reduce the principal amount of such Notes of that series whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(iv)    waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes of that series, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all affected Holders;

(v)    make any Note of that series payable in money other than that stated in such Note;

(vi)    make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;

(vii)    make any change to this Section 9.02;

(ix)    make any change to or modify the ranking of the applicable series of Notes that would materially adversely affect the Holders; or

(x)    except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in any manner adverse to the Holders.

In addition, without the consent of the Holders of Notes of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of the applicable series of Notes then outstanding, no amendment, supplement or waiver may release all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers .

(a)    A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation delivered in accordance with Section 13.01 before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuers certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. After

 

95


an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of Notes of such series. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Issuers or the Trustee of consents by the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the applicable series of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuers and the Trustee.

(b)    The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding Section 9.04(a), those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes . If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuers may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee (or the Registrar, at the direction of the Trustee) at the direction of the Issuers may place a notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuers so determine, the Issuers in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make a notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments . The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement, or waiver, the Trustee shall receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and the Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel shall not be required in connection with the addition of any Guarantor under this Indenture on the Issue Date upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a Supplemental Indenture in the form of Exhibit D to this Indenture.

Section 9.06 Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount . Except as otherwise set forth herein, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent separately on all matters as to which any of such Notes may vote. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article 9 and Section 2.14.

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Guarantees .

(a)    Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees on a secured basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and the Trustee and their successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, if any, the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuers whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Notes, on the terms set forth in this Indenture by executing this Indenture (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”).

 

96


Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(b)    Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuers of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c)    Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(d)    Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 10.02 and 10.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.

(e)    Subject to Section 10.02 hereof, each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(f)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee (or its designee) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuers to the Trustee.

(g)    Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Trustee in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 10.01.

(h)    Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

Each Guarantor shall promptly execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Liability . Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that, any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be

 

97


hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

Section 10.03 Releases .

(a)    A Guarantee as to any Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

(i)    (a) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (including through consolidation, merger or otherwise) of (x) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, after which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, or (y) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, which sale, exchange, disposition or transfer in each case is made in compliance with Section 4.06(a)(i) and (ii); (b) in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to guarantee the Notes pursuant to the covenant described under Section 4.11, the release, discharge or termination of the guarantee by such Guarantor of the guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Guarantees, except a release, discharge or termination by or as a result of payment under such guarantee; (c) the release or discharge of the guarantee by, or the direct obligation of, such Guarantor of the Obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such guarantee or direct obligation; (d) the permitted designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provision set forth under Section 4.04 and the definition of “ Unrestricted Subsidiary ”; (e) upon the consolidation or merger of any Guarantor with and into the Company or another Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such consolidation or merger, or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Company or another Guarantor; (f) the Company exercising its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under Article 8 or the Company’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or (g) the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event; and

Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns . This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 10.05 No Waiver . Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 10.06 Modification . No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 10.07 Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors . Each Restricted Subsidiary which is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D pursuant to which such Subsidiary or other Person shall become a

 

98


Guarantor under this Article 10 and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations and execute such supplements or documents to join the Security Documents. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel shall not be required in connection with the addition of any Guarantor under this Indenture on the Issue Date upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture in the Form of Exhibit D to this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 10.07 is conditional upon the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar having completed any required KYC procedures in accordance with prevailing regulations.

Section 10.08 Non-Impairment . The failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Note shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

Section 10.09 Benefits Acknowledged .

ARTICLE 11

PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR

Section 11.01 Payment .

(a)    In order to provide for all payments due on the Notes as the same shall become due, the Issuers shall cause to be paid to the Paying Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. London time on the Business Day prior to the due date (or such other time as the Issuers and the Paying Agent may mutually agree from time to time) for the payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on any Note, at such bank as the Paying Agent shall previously have notified to the Issuers, immediately available funds sufficient to meet all payment obligations due on such Notes.

(b)    The Issuers hereby authorize and direct the Paying Agent, from the amounts paid to it pursuant to Section 11.01(a) above, to make or cause to be made all payments on the Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Such payments shall be made to the Holder or Holders of Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the provisions contained in this Article 11, and the procedures of the Depository. All interest payments in respect of the Notes will be made by the Paying Agent on the relevant Interest Payment Date (as set forth in the Notes) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business (in London) on the record date specified in the Notes next preceding the Interest Payment Date or such other date as is provided in the Notes. So long as the Notes are represented by one or more global certificates and registered in the name of a nominee of the Common Depository, all interest payments on the Notes shall be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Holder.

(c)    The Paying Agent, to the extent sufficient funds are available to it, will pay the principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, together with accrued and unpaid interest due at the stated maturity date or on such redemption date, if any, upon presentation and surrender of such Note on or after the stated maturity date or redemption date thereof to the Paying Agent, or as specified in the Notes.

(d)    If for any reason the amounts received by the Paying Agent are insufficient to satisfy all claims in respect of all payments then due on the Notes, the Paying Agent shall forthwith notify the Issuers, and the Paying Agent shall not be obliged to pay any such claims until the Paying Agent has received the full amount of the monies then due and payable in respect of such Notes. If, however, the Paying Agent in its sole discretion shall make

 

99


payment on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, or payments of interest or such other payments when otherwise due on the assumption that the corresponding payment by the Issuers has been or shall be made (it being understood that the Paying Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any such payment) and the amount which should have been received by the Paying Agent is not received on such date, then the Issuers agree forthwith on demand to reimburse, or cause the reimbursement of, the Paying Agent for the amount which should have been paid by the Issuers in order for the Paying Agent to make such payment, and pay interest thereon from the day following the date when the amount unpaid should have been received under this Indenture to the date when such amount is actually received (inclusive) at a rate equal to the cost of the Paying Agent of funding such amount, as certified by the Paying Agent and expressed as a rate per annum.

(e)    The Paying Agent hereby agrees that:

(i)    it will hold all sums held by it as Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on the Notes for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes entitled thereto, or for the benefit of the Trustee, as the case may be, until such sums shall be paid out to such Holders or otherwise as provided in Section 11.02(f) below and in this Indenture;

(ii)    it will promptly give the Trustee notice of an Issuer default in the payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on the Notes; and

(iii)    at any time after an Event of Default in respect of the Notes shall have occurred, the Paying Agent shall, if so required by notice in writing given by the Trustee to the Paying Agent: (y) thereafter, until otherwise instructed by the Trustee, act as an agent of the Trustee under the terms of this Indenture; and/or (z) deliver all Notes and all sums, documents and records held by the Paying Agent in respect of the Notes to the Trustee or as the Trustee shall direct in such notice; provided that such notice shall be deemed not to apply to any document or record which the Paying Agent is obliged not to release by any applicable law or regulation.

(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i)    if any Note is presented or surrendered for payment to the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent has delivered a replacement therefor or has been notified that the same has been replaced, the Paying Agent shall as soon as is reasonably practicable notify the Issuers in writing of such presentation or surrender and shall not make payment against the same until it is so instructed by the Issuers and has received the amount to be so paid; and

(ii)    the Paying Agent shall cancel each Note against surrender of which it has made full payment and shall deliver each Note so cancelled by it to the Trustee.

(g)    In no event, shall the Paying Agent be obliged to make any payments hereunder if it has not received the full amount of any payment.

Section 11.02 Indemnity .

(a)    The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall:

(i)    reimburse the Paying Agent and the Registrar upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Paying Agent and the Registrar in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of their agents and counsel), except to the extent that any such expense, disbursement or advance may be attributable to the Paying Agent’s or the Registrar’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence; and

(ii)    indemnify the Paying Agent and the Registrar for, and to hold the Paying Agent and the Registrar harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense, including fees of counsel

 

100


and including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Paying Agent or the Registrar), incurred by them in connection with this Indenture or in respect of the Issuers’ issue of the Notes, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, any Holder or any Guarantor) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Article 1, except to the extent that such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is due to the Paying Agent’s or the Registrar’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b)    The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the Notes, the termination for any reason of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent or the Registrar.

(e)    The Paying Agent and the Registrar may (at the reasonable and documented expense of the Issuers) consult, on any matter concerning their duties hereunder, any legal adviser or other expert selected by them with due care and, with respect to the selection of other experts, in consultation with the Issuers, and the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall not be liable in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done in good faith in accordance with that adviser’s opinion. At any time, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may apply to any duly authorized representative of the Issuers for a written instruction, and shall not be liable for an action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with such instruction.

(f)    The Paying Agent and the Registrar may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(j)    No section of this Article 11 or the Notes shall require the Paying Agent or the Registrar to risk or expend their own funds, or to take any action which in their reasonable judgment would result in any expense or liability accruing to them.

(k)    In no event will the Paying Agent or the Registrar be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of their obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond their reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, severe loss or severe malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Paying Agent and the Registrar will use best reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(1)    any Lien now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any PP&E Agent or PP&E Secured Party (or the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in and to the Borrowing Base Collateral that secures all or any portion of the PP&E Priority Obligations shall in all respects be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted to any ABL Agent or ABL Secured Party (or to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in the Borrowing Base Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Borrowing Base Priority Obligations;

(2)    any Lien now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any PP&E Agent or PP&E Secured Party (or the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in and to the PP&E Collateral that secures all or any portion of the PP&E Priority Obligations, shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens granted to any ABL Agent or ABL Secured Party (or to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in the PP&E Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Borrowing Base Priority Obligations;

 

105


(3)    any Lien now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any ABL Agent or ABL Secured Party (or the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in and to the Borrowing Base Collateral that secures all or any portion of the Borrowing Base Priority Obligations, shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens granted to any PP&E Agent or PP&E Secured Party (or to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in the Borrowing Base Collateral to secure all or any portion of the PP&E Priority Obligations; and

(4)    any Lien now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any ABL Agent or ABL Secured Party (or the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in and to the PP&E Collateral that secures all or any portion of the Borrowing Base Priority Obligations, shall in all respects be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted to any PP&E Agent or PP&E Secured Party (or to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in the PP&E Collateral to secure all or any portion of the PP&E Priority Obligations.

(b)    Pursuant to the PP&E Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, each PP&E First Lien Agent under each Series of PP&E First Lien Obligations will agree (and each PP&E First Lien Secured Party agrees) that, notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of PP&E First Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the PP&E First Lien Security Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the PP&E First Lien Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to any impairment or as otherwise provided in the PP&E Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement), (i) the Liens securing each Series of PP&E First Lien Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority and (ii) the benefits and proceeds of the Shared Collateral shall be shared among the PP&E First Lien Secured Parties as provided therein, regardless of the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of PP&E First Lien Obligations, granted on the Shared Collateral.

Section 12.07 Creation and Perfection of Certain Security Interests After the Issue Date .

The Company and the Guarantors agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to create and perfect on the Issue Date the security interests in the Collateral (and obtain title insurance) for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, but to the extent any such security interest is not created or perfected or title insurance obtained by such date, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all acts and things that would be required, including obtaining any required consents from third parties, to have all security interests in the Collateral duly created and enforceable and perfected, to the extent required by the Security Documents, and obtain title insurance promptly following the Issue Date, but in no event later than 90 days thereafter. Failure to obtain such consents and create and perfect a security interest in such Collateral or to obtain title insurance within such period constitutes an Event of Default to the extent provided under clause (i) under Section 6.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after using commercially reasonable efforts such a security interest in an asset could not be created or perfected because a third party consent had not been obtained or local law did not permit a security interest to more than one secured party, the Company will not be required to create or perfect such security interest. For avoidance of doubt, references in this paragraph to Collateral do not include Excluded Assets. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the holders of the Notes has any duty or responsibility to see to or monitor the performance of the Company and its Subsidiaries with regard to these matters.

Section 12.08 Parallel Debt

Without prejudice to the provisions of the other Note Documents, and for the purpose of ensuring and preserving the validity and continuity of the rights of pledge purported to be granted under or pursuant to the Dutch Deed of Pledge, each Issuer irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay, and acknowledges that it owes, to the Collateral Trustee amounts equal to, and in the currency or currencies of, its Corresponding Debt, irrespective of

 

106


whether any such debt has arisen as at the date of this Indenture or arises after the date hereof, in accordance with and under the same terms and conditions as the Corresponding Debt (such payment undertakings and the obligations and liabilities which are the result thereof hereinafter referred to as the “ Parallel Debt ”), which undertaking, covenant, and acknowledgment of indebtedness the Collateral Trustee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts.

The Parallel Debt of each Issuer:

 

  (a)

shall become due and payable at the same time as its Corresponding Debt; and

 

  (b)

is independent and separate from, and without prejudice to, its Corresponding Debt.

For purposes of this Section 12.08, the Collateral Trustee:

 

  (a)

is the independent and separate creditor of each Parallel Debt;

 

  (b)

acts in its own name and not as agent, representative or trustee of the PP&E First Lien Secured Parties and its claims in respect of each Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust; and

 

  (c)

shall have the independent and separate right to demand payment of each Parallel Debt in its own name ( zelfstandige vorderingen op naam ) (including, without limitation, through any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in any kind of insolvency proceeding).

The Parallel Debt of an Issuer shall be (i) decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, and (ii) increased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has increased, and the Corresponding Debt of a Credit Party shall be (x) decreased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, and (y) increased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has increased, in each case provided that the Parallel Debt of an Issuer shall never exceed its Corresponding Debt.

If and to the extent that at the time of the creation of the rights of pledge constituted under the Dutch Deed of Pledge, or at any time thereafter, a Corresponding Debt owed to the Collateral Trustee cannot be validly secured through the Parallel Debt, such Corresponding Debt itself shall constitute Secured Liabilities (as defined in the Dutch Deed of Pledge).

All amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Trustee in connection with this Section 12.08, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be applied in accordance with Section 12.06.

This Section 12.08 applies for the purpose of determining the Secured Liabilities (as defined in the Dutch Deed of Pledge) secured in the Dutch Deed of Pledge. Each Holder irrevocably and unconditionally accepts and consents to the creation of the Parallel Debt and the appointment of the Collateral Trustee as the sole creditor under the Parallel Debt as outlined in this Section 12.08.

Section 12.09 Further Assurances .

The Company and the Guarantors will do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required under applicable law or that the Collateral Trustee from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the Collateral Trustee holds, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes, duly created, enforceable and perfected Liens upon the Collateral (including any real, personal or mixed property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become, or are required by any Security Document to become, Collateral after the Notes are issued), in each case, as contemplated by, and with the Lien priority required under, the Security Documents, and subject to the limitations set forth in the Security Documents.

 

107


Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Trustee at any time and from time to time, the Company and the Guarantors will promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such security documents, instruments, certificates, notices and other documents, and take such other actions as reasonably required under applicable law or that the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, in each case, to create, perfect or protect the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as contemplated by the Security Documents for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in the Security Documents.

Section 12.10 Insurance . The Company and the Guarantors will maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all their respective property in at least such amounts and against such risks (but including in any event public liability, product liability and business interruption) as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in a Similar Business, and will cause the Collateral Trustee to at all times be named as loss payee with respect to all “All Risk” insurance policies and an additional insured (but without any liability for premiums) under all general liability policies maintained by the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to this Section 12.10.

The Company issued the Fixed Rate Notes under an Indenture, dated as of March 30, 2017 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto from time to time, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the Paying Agent and the Registrar. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Fixed Rate Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms and provisions.

The Fixed Rate Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuers. This Fixed Rate Note is one of the Original Fixed Rate Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Original Fixed Rate Notes and any Additional Fixed Rate Notes. The Original Fixed Rate Notes and any Additional Fixed Rate Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital stock of

On April 15, 2019 or thereafter, the Issuers may redeem Notes, at their option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon notice as described under Section 3.04, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes plus the Applicable Fixed Rate Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the redemption date.

     102.43750

2020

     101.21875

2021 and thereafter

     100.00000

(b)    In addition, until April 15, 2019, the Issuers may, at their option, on one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Fixed Rate Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of any Additional Fixed Rate Notes) at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that at least 60% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Fixed Rate Notes originally issued under the Indenture and any Fixed Rate Notes that are issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; provided further that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice sent to each Holder of Fixed Rate Notes being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

(c)    Notice of any redemption of Fixed Rate Notes described above may be given prior to such redemption, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the relevant Equity Offering, other offering or other transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption

 

A-7


may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, the Issuers may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

(d)    The Registrar shall select the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed in the manner described under Section 3.04.

Redemption for Taxation Reasons

(a)    The Issuers may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time upon giving not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders of such Notes (which notice will be irrevocable) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the date fixed for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise, if the Issuers determine in good faith that, as a result of:

(1) any change in, or amendment to, the law or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or

(2) any amendment to, or change in an official written application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice or revenue guidance) (each of the foregoing in clauses (1) and (2), a “Change in Tax Law”),

a Payor is, or on the next interest payment date in respect of such Notes would be, required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such Notes, and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Payor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new paying agent where this would be reasonable, but not including assignment of the obligation to make payment with respect to such Notes). Such Change in Tax Law must (i) not have been publicly announced before the Issue Date and (ii) become effective on or after the Issue Date (or if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date).

(b)    No such notice of redemption will be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Payor would be obligated to make such payment of Additional Amounts. Prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of any Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that they are entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to their right so to redeem have been satisfied and (b) an opinion of an independent tax counsel of our choosing of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the Payor has been or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(c)    Upon receiving such notice of redemption, each holder will have the right to elect to not have its Notes redeemed, in which case the Payors will not be obligated to pay any Additional Amounts on any payment with respect to such Notes after the Tax Redemption Date (or, if we fail to pay the redemption price on the Tax Redemption Date, after such later date on which we pay the redemption price) solely as a result of such Change in Tax Law that resulted in the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts, and all future payments with respect to such Notes will be subject to the deduction or withholding of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld as a result of such Change in Tax Law.

(d)    If no election is made, the holder will have its Notes redeemed without any further action.

Notes in denominations larger than €100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of €1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Fixed Rate Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on such Fixed Rate Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

Repurchase of Notes at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Sales

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Fixed Rate Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record of the Fixed Rate Notes at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuers will be required to offer to purchase Fixed Rate Notes upon the occurrence of certain events.

 

9.

Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Fixed Rate Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Fixed Rate Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Fixed Rate Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Fixed Rate Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Fixed Rate Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days prior to the mailing of a notice of redemption of Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed.

After any such payment, the Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

Discharge and Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions and as set forth in the Indenture, the Issuers at any time may terminate some of or all of their obligations under the Fixed Rate Notes and the Indenture if the Issuers deposit with the Trustee (or such other entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuers and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for this purpose) money or Government Securities for the payment of principal and interest on the Fixed Rate Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

 

13.

Amendment; Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture, or the Fixed Rate Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Fixed Rate Notes (voting as a single class) and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuers and the Trustee may amend the Indenture, any Guarantee, the Fixed Rate Notes or the Security Documents (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency as certified by the Issuers; (ii) to provide for uncertificated Fixed Rate Notes of such series in addition to or in place of certificated Fixed Rate Notes (provided that the uncertificated Fixed Rate Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code); (iii) to comply with the covenant relating to mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; (iv) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s, FinCo’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders in a transaction that complies with the Indenture; (v) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder; (vi) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuers or any Guarantor; (vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee or Paying Agent thereunder pursuant to the requirements thereof; (viii) to add a Guarantor under the Indenture or to release a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and to provide for any local law restrictions required by the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor; (ix) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees, the Fixed Rate Notes or the Security Documents to any provision of the Offering Memorandum under the caption “ Description of Notes ” to the extent that such provision in the “ Description of Notes ” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees, the Fixed Rate Notes or the Security Documents as certified by the Issuers; (x) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes permitted to be issued under the Indenture; (xi) to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by the Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance of the Fixed Rate Notes and administration of the Fixed Rate Notes; provided, however, that (a) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Fixed Rate Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Fixed Rate Notes; (xii) to add additional assets as Collateral; or (xiii) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by the Indenture or any of the Security Documents or any release, termination or discharge of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in the Indenture or any of the Security Documents.

 

14.

Defaults and Remedies

If an Event of Default (other than a Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuers) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of outstanding Fixed Rate Notes by notice to the Issuers, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the Fixed Rate Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuers occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Fixed Rate Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Fixed Rate Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Fixed Rate Notes and its consequences.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have

 

A-10


offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Fixed Rate Notes unless (i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Fixed Rate Notes have requested the Trustee, in writing, to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Fixed Rate Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Fixed Rate Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses that may be caused by taking or not taking such action.

The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee, annually, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year.

 

15.

Trustee Dealings with the Issuers

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Fixed Rate Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

 

16.

No Recourse Against Others

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of the Issuers or any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or direct or indirect parent companies shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the Fixed Rate Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Fixed Rate Notes by accepting a Fixed Rate Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Fixed Rate Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

 

17.

Authentication

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

 

18.

Collateral

This Note will be secured by the Collateral on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and the Security Documents. The Collateral Trustee holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Collateral Trustee to enter into the Security Documents, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.

Governing Law

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

21.

Common Code Numbers

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused Common Code numbers to be printed on the Fixed Rate Notes, and the Trustee may use Common Code numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Fixed Rate Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2024

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

 

1.

Interest

Federal-Mogul LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Federal-Mogul Financing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together with the Company, the “Issuers”), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum (the “Applicable Rate”), reset quarterly, equal to EURIBOR plus 4.875%, as determined by an agent appointed by the Issuers to calculate EURIBOR for purposes of the Indenture (the “ Calculation Agent ”). The Issuers shall pay interest quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2017. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, March 30, 2017 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Calculation Agent shall, as soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on each Determination Date, determine the Applicable Rate and calculate the aggregate amount of interest payable in respect of the following Interest Period (the “Interest Amount”). The Interest Amount shall be calculated by applying the Applicable Rate to the principal amount of each Floating Rate Note outstanding at the commencement of the Interest Period, multiplying each such amount by the actual amounts of days in the Interest Period concerned divided by 360. All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 4.876545% (or .04876545) being rounded to 4.87655% (or .0487655). The determination of the Applicable Rate and the Interest Amount by the Calculation Agent shall, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or manifest error, be final and binding on all parties. In no event will the rate of interest on the Floating Rate Notes be higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, provided, however, that the Calculation Agent shall not be responsible for verifying that the rate of interest on the Floating Rate Notes is permitted under any applicable law. The Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall not be responsible for, nor incur any liability in relation to any loss resulting from any calculation or determination made, or intended to be made, by the Calculation Agent.

The rights of Holders of Floating Rate Notes to receive the payments of interest on the Floating Rate Notes are subject to applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream.

4.

Indenture

The Company issued the Floating Rate Notes under an Indenture, dated as of March 30, 2017 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto from time to time, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the Paying Agent and the Registrar. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Floating Rate Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms and provisions.

The Floating Rate Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuers. This Floating Rate Note is one of the Original Floating Rate Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Original Floating Rate Notes and any Additional Floating Rate Notes. The Original Floating Rate Notes and any Additional Floating Rate Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company and each Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property.

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Floating Rate Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuers under the Indenture and the Floating Rate Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Floating Rate Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantors party to the Indenture from time to time will, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior unsecured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

Redemption

Optional Redemption

(a)    Except as set forth in the following paragraphs, the Floating Rate Notes shall not be redeemable at the option of the Issuers prior to April 15, 2018. On April 15, 2018 or thereafter, the Issuers may redeem Notes, at their option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon notice as described under Section 3.04, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes plus the Applicable Floating Rate Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the redemption date.

On and after April 15, 2018, the Issuers may redeem the Floating Rate Notes, at their option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon notice as described under Section 3.04, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption, subject to the right of Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15 of each of the years indicated below:

 

Year

   Redemption Price  

2018

     101.000

2019

     100.000

(b)    Notice of any redemption of Floating Rate Notes described above may be given prior to such redemption, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the relevant Equity Offering, other offering or other transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, the Issuers may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

(c)    The Registrar shall select the Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed in the manner described under Section 3.04.

Redemption for Taxation Reasons

(a)    The Issuers may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time upon giving not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders of such Notes (which notice will be irrevocable) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the date fixed for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise, if the Issuers determine in good faith that, as a result of:

(1) any change in, or amendment to, the law or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or

 

B-8


(2) any amendment to, or change in an official written application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice or revenue guidance) (each of the foregoing in clauses (1) and (2), a “Change in Tax Law”),

a Payor is, or on the next interest payment date in respect of such Notes would be, required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such Notes, and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Payor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new paying agent where this would be reasonable, but not including assignment of the obligation to make payment with respect to such Notes). Such Change in Tax Law must (i) not have been publicly announced before the Issue Date and (ii) become effective on or after the Issue Date (or if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date).

(b)    No such notice of redemption will be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Payor would be obligated to make such payment of Additional Amounts. Prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of any Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that they are entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to their right so to redeem have been satisfied and (b) an opinion of an independent tax counsel of our choosing of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the Payor has been or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(c)    Upon receiving such notice of redemption, each holder will have the right to elect to not have its Notes redeemed, in which case the Payors will not be obligated to pay any Additional Amounts on any payment with respect to such Notes after the Tax Redemption Date (or, if we fail to pay the redemption price on the Tax Redemption Date, after such later date on which we pay the redemption price) solely as a result of such Change in Tax Law that resulted in the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts, and all future payments with respect to such Notes will be subject to the deduction or withholding of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld as a result of such Change in Tax Law.

(d)    If no election is made, the holder will have its Notes redeemed without any further action.

 

6.

Sinking Fund

The Floating Rate Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

 

7.

Notice of Redemption

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to a redemption date pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Floating Rate Note, the Issuers shall mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) (with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent) a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Floating Rate Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address (except that such notice of redemption may be mailed (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Section 8.01). Notes in denominations larger than €100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of €1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Floating Rate Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on such Floating Rate Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

 

B-9


8.

Repurchase of Notes at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Sales

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Floating Rate Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record of the Floating Rate Notes at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuers will be required to offer to purchase Floating Rate Notes upon the occurrence of certain events.

 

9.

Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Floating Rate Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Floating Rate Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Floating Rate Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Floating Rate Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Floating Rate Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days prior to the mailing of a notice of redemption of Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed.

 

10.

Persons Deemed Owners

The registered Holder of this Floating Rate Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

 

11.

Unclaimed Money

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuers at their written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, the Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

 

12.

Discharge and Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions and as set forth in the Indenture, the Issuers at any time may terminate some of or all of their obligations under the Floating Rate Notes and the Indenture if the Issuers deposit with the Trustee (or such other entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuers and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for this purpose) money or Government Securities for the payment of principal and interest on the Floating Rate Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

 

13.

Amendment; Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Floating Rate Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Floating Rate Notes (voting as a single class) and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuers and the Trustee may amend the Indenture, any Guarantee, the Floating Rate Notes or the Security Documents (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency as certified by the Issuers; (ii) to provide for uncertificated Floating Rate Notes of such series in addition to or in place of certificated Floating Rate Notes (provided that the uncertificated Floating Rate Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code); (iii) to comply with the covenant relating to mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; (iv) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s, FinCo’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders in a transaction

 

B-10


that complies with the Indenture; (v) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder; (vi) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuers or any Guarantor; (vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee or Paying Agent thereunder pursuant to the requirements thereof; (viii) to add a Guarantor under the Indenture or to release a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and to provide for any local law restrictions required by the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor; (ix) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees, the Floating Rate Notes or the Security Documents to any provision of the Offering Memorandum under the caption “ Description of Notes ” to the extent that such provision in the “ Description of Notes ” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees, the Floating Rate Notes or the Security Documents as certified by the Issuers; (x) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes permitted to be issued under the Indenture; (xi) to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by the Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance of the Floating Rate Notes and administration of the Floating Rate Notes; provided, however, that (a) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Floating Rate Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Floating Rate Notes; (xii) to add additional assets as Collateral; or (xiii) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by the Indenture or any of the Security Documents or any release, termination or discharge of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in the Indenture or any of the Security Documents.

 

14.

Defaults and Remedies

If an Event of Default (other than a Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuers) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of outstanding Floating Rate Notes by notice to the Issuers, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the Floating Rate Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuers occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Floating Rate Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Floating Rate Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Floating Rate Notes and its consequences.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Floating Rate Notes unless (i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Floating Rate Notes have requested the Trustee, in writing, to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Floating Rate Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Floating Rate Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses that may be caused by taking or not taking such action.

The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee, annually, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year.

 

B-11


15.

Trustee Dealings with the Issuers

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Floating Rate Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

 

16.

No Recourse Against Others

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of the Issuers or any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or direct or indirect parent companies shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the Floating Rate Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Floating Rate Notes by accepting a Floating Rate Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Floating Rate Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

 

17.

Authentication

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

 

18.

The Collateral Trustee holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the Security Documents.

Governing Law

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Common Code Numbers

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused Common Code numbers to be printed on the Floating Rate Notes, and the Trustee may use Common Code numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Floating Rate Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase notes similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment.

(2)    We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Issuers or any affiliate of the Issuers was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) in the United States to a person whom we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (b) outside the United States in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (c) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if applicable) or (d) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (a) through (d) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. In addition, we will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any purchaser of Notes of the resale restrictions set forth above. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made to an institutional “accredited investor” prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Issuers and the Registrar, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Issuers and the Registrar reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause 2(b), 2(c) or 2(d) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Issuers and the Registrar.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Trustee or any PP&E Indenture Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.

Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Trustee’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at places which the Collateral Trustee shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Trustee or any PP&E Indenture Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

2.09.     Limitation of Applicable Law . All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Collateral Trust Agreement or any Collateral Trust Security Document may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions hereof are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Collateral Trust Agreement invalid, unenforceable in whole or in part or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law (it being understood that the applicable laws of the Netherlands do not permit the Collateral Trustee to hold collateral in trust).

2.10.     Rights of Secured Parties under Secured Instruments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Collateral Trust Agreement or any Collateral Trust Security Document, the right of each Secured Party to receive payment of the Secured Obligations held by such Secured Party when due (whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or otherwise) as expressed in the related Secured Instrument or other instrument evidencing or agreement governing a Secured Obligation or to institute suit for the enforcement of such payment on or after such due date, and the obligation of the Loan Parties to pay such Secured Obligation when due, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Secured Party given in the manner prescribed by the Secured Instrument under which such Secured Obligation is outstanding.

(b)    Each First Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Shared Collateral, pursuant to any First Lien Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), at any time prior to the Discharge of each Series of First Lien Obligations, then it shall hold such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the other First Lien Secured Parties having a security interest in such Shared Collateral and promptly transfer any such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Collateral Trustee for such Shared Collateral, to be distributed by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01(a) hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Shared Collateral purchased by any First Lien Secured Party for cash pursuant to any exercise of remedies permitted hereunder.

(c)    None of the Collateral Trustee, any Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Trustee, such Applicable Authorized Representative or other First Lien Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.04    Automatic Release of Liens.

(a)    If, at any time any Shared Collateral is transferred to a third party or otherwise disposed of, in each case, in connection with any enforcement of Liens on the Shared Collateral by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of each Series of First Lien Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged upon final conclusion of foreclosure proceeding; provided that any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

(b)    The Collateral Trustee and each Authorized Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Collateral Trustee to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral (or any guaranty) provided for in this Section.

SECTION 2.05    Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.

(a)    This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against Borrower or any other Grantor or any of their subsidiaries.

(b)    If any Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “ Bankruptcy Case ”) under the Bankruptcy Code and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“ DIP Financing ”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “ DIP Lenders ”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, each First Lien

Secured Party (other than any Controlling Secured Party or any Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party) agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“ DIP Financing Liens ”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless the Applicable Authorized Representative or any Controlling Secured Party, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the First Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other First Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any First Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the First Lien Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement (other than any Liens of the First Priority Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens), (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First Lien Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, and (D) if any First Lien Secured Parties are granted adequate protection with respect to the First Lien Obligations subject hereto, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement; provided that the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to (x) the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral and (y) any aspect of a DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization or any similar dispositive restructuring plan other than to the extent such provision or content provides for payment of the DIP Financing in full; and provided further that the First Lien Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other First Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such First Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral; and provided further that the First Lien Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other First Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such First Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

SECTION 2.06    Reinstatement. In the event that any of the First Lien Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such First Lien Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

SECTION 2.07    Insurance. As between the First Lien Secured Parties, the Collateral Trustee (acting at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative), shall have the right (but no obligation) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral.

 

15


SECTION 2.08    Refinancings. The First Lien Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Secured Loan Document) of any First Lien Secured Party of any other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that the Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness.

SECTION 2.09    Collateral Trustee as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a)    The Possessory Collateral shall be delivered to the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Trustee agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09. The Borrower shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Collateral Trustee for loss or damage suffered by the Collateral Trustee as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Collateral Trustee as a result of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b)    The Collateral Trustee agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09.

(c)    The duties or responsibilities of the Collateral Trustee under this Section 2.09 shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such First Lien Secured Parties therein.

(d)    The Collateral Trustee shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any First Lien Secured Party to ensure that the Possessory Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.09. The duties or responsibilities of the Collateral Trustee under this Section 2.09 shall be limited solely to holding any Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral or any other Shared Collateral in its possession or control as gratuitous bailee in accordance with this Section 2.09 and delivering the Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral as provided herein.

(e)    None of the Collateral Trustee or any of the First Lien Secured Parties shall have by reason of the Secured Loan Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship with respect to any other First Lien Secured Party, and the Collateral Trustee and each First Lien Secured Party hereby waives and releases the Collateral Trustee and First Lien Secured Parties from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Collateral Trustee’s role under this Section 2.09 as gratuitous bailee with respect to the Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral or any other Shared Collateral in its possession or control.

 

16


SECTION 2.10    Amendments to First Lien Security Documents.

(a)    Each First Lien Secured Party agrees that the Collateral Trustee may enter into any amendment (and, upon request by the Collateral Trustee, each Authorized Representative shall sign a consent to such amendment) to any First Lien Security Document (including, without limitation, to release Liens securing any Series of First Lien Obligations) so long as such amendment, subject to clause (b) below, is not prohibited by the terms of each then extant First Lien Document. Additionally, each First Lien Secured Party agrees that the Collateral Trustee may enter into any amendment (and, upon request by the Collateral Trustee, each Authorized Representative shall sign a consent to such amendment) to any First Lien Security Document solely as such First Lien Security Document relates to a particular Series of First Lien Obligations (including, without limitation, to release Liens securing such Series of First Lien Obligations) so long as (x) such amendment is in accordance with the First Lien Document pursuant to which such Series of First Lien Obligations was incurred and (y) such amendment does not adversely affect the First Lien Secured Parties of any other Series.

(b)    In determining whether an amendment to any First Lien Security Document is permitted by this Section 2.10, the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely on an officer’s certificate of the Borrower stating that such amendment is permitted by this Section 2.10.

ARTICLE III

EXISTENCE AND AMOUNTS OF LIENS AND OBLIGATIONS

Whenever the Collateral Trustee or any Authorized Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any First Lien Obligations of any Series, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the First Lien Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Authorized Representative and shall be entitled to make such determination or not make any determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if an Authorized Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the Collateral Trustee or Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination or not make any determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Borrower. The Collateral Trustee and each Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any First Lien Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination.

ARTICLE IV

THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE

SECTION 4.01    Appointment and Authority.

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed to impose any fiduciary or other duty on the Collateral Trustee to any Non-Controlling Secured Party or give any Non-Controlling Secured Party the right to direct the Collateral Trustee, except that the Collateral Trustee shall be obligated to distribute proceeds of any Shared Collateral in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof.

 

17


(b)    Each of the First Lien Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Collateral Trustee hereunder and under each of the other First Lien Security Documents and authorizes the Collateral Trustee to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Trustee by the terms hereof or thereof, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any Grantor to secure any of the First Lien Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Trustee and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Collateral Trust Agreement for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under any of the First Lien Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IV and Section 5 of the Collateral Trust Agreement and the equivalent provision of any Other First Lien Document (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “Collateral Trustee” under the First Lien Security Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(c)    Each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the First Lien Security Documents, without regard to any rights to which Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of holding any First Lien Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Collateral Trustee, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the First Lien Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the First Lien Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Collateral Trustee or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of First Lien Obligations or any other First Lien Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which the Collateral Trustee, any Authorized Representative or any First Lien Secured Party takes or omits to take (including, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the First Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the First Lien Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the First Lien Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the First Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of First Lien Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05 of this Agreement, any borrowing or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any First Lien Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing holders of First Lien Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.

SECTION 4.02    Rights as a First Lien Secured Party.

The Person serving as the Collateral Trustee hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a First Lien Secured Party under any Series of First Lien Obligations that it holds as any other First Lien Secured Party of such Series and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Trustee and the term “First Lien Secured Party” or “First Lien Secured Parties” or (as applicable) “PP&E Credit Agreement Secured Party”, “PP&E Credit Agreement Secured Parties”, “Other First Lien Secured Party” or “Other First Lien Secured Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Collateral Trustee hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or other affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Collateral Trustee hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other First Lien Secured Party.

SECTION 4.03    Non-Reliance on Collateral Trustee and Other First Lien Secured Parties.

Each First Lien Secured Party, other than the Initial Other Authorized Representative, acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Trustee, any Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party or any of their affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Secured Loan Documents. Each First Lien Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Trustee, any Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party or any of their affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Secured Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 4.04    Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the First Lien Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Trustee, at its option and in its discretion,

 

19


(a)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Trustee under any First Lien Security Document in accordance with Section 2.04 of this Agreement or upon receipt of a written request from the Borrower stating that the release of such Lien is not prohibited by the terms of each then extant Secured Loan Document; and

(b)    to release any Grantor from its obligations under the First Lien Security Documents upon receipt of a written request from the Borrower stating that such release is not prohibited by the terms of each then extant Secured Loan Document.

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any other Authorized Representative or First Lien Secured Party, the Collateral Trustee may effect amendments and modifications to this Agreement to the extent necessary or advisable to reflect any incurrence of any Other First Lien Obligations in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Secured Loan Documents.

SECTION 5.03    Parties in Interest.

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 5.07    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPALS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(a)    submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the First Lien Security Documents, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the general jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b)    consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 

22

SECTION 5.11    Conflicts. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any of the other Secured Loan Documents or First Lien Security Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exercise of any right or remedy by any Authorized Representative or Collateral Trustee hereunder is subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. As between the ABL Secured Parties (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) on the one hand and the Secured Parties on the other, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Solely as among the Secured Parties, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control provided that no Authorized Representative or Collateral Trustee shall be required to take any action that would violate the ABL Intercreditor Agreement if then in effect.

SECTION 5.12    Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the First Lien Secured Parties in relation to one another. None of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and none of the Borrower or any other Grantor may rely on the terms hereof (other than Sections 2.04, 2.05,

 

23


2.08, 2.09 and Article V). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of any Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the First Lien Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.

SECTION 5.13    Integration. This Agreement together with the other Secured Loan Documents and the First Lien Security Documents represents the entire agreement of each of the Grantors and the First Lien Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Grantor, the Tranche C Term Administrative Agent, any or any other First Lien Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Loan Documents or the First Lien Security Documents.

SECTION 5.14    Other First Lien Obligations.

To the extent, but only to the extent not prohibited by the provisions of the Credit Agreement or the Other First Lien Documents, the Borrower may incur additional indebtedness after the date hereof that is secured on an equal and ratable basis with the liens securing the PP&E Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and the Other First Lien Obligations; provided, that, so long as the Discharge of PP&E Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has not occurred, such indebtedness qualifies as Permitted Credit Agreement Pari Passu Indebtedness (such indebtedness referred to as “ Additional Senior Class  Debt ”). Any such Additional Senior Class Debt may be secured by a Lien on a ratable basis, in each case under and pursuant to the Other First Lien Documents, if and subject to the condition that the Authorized Representative of any such Additional Senior Class Debt (an “ Additional Senior Class  Debt Representative ,” respectively), acting on behalf of the holders of such Additional Senior Class Debt (such Additional Senior Class Debt Representative and holders in respect of any Additional Senior Class Debt being referred to as the “ Additional Senior Class  Debt Parties ”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of the immediately succeeding paragraph.

In order for an Additional Senior Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement,

(i)    such Additional Senior Class Debt Representative shall have executed and delivered an instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit A (with such changes as may be reasonably approved by the Collateral Trustee and such Additional Senior Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which such Additional Senior Class Debt Representative becomes an Authorized Representative hereunder and the Additional Senior Class Debt in respect of which such Additional Senior Class Debt Representative is the Authorized Representative and the related Additional Senior Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby;

(ii)    the Borrower shall have (x) if requested by the Collateral Trustee, delivered to the Collateral Trustee true and complete copies of each of the Other First Lien Documents relating to such Additional Senior Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and (y) identified in a certificate of an authorized officer the obligations to be designated as Other First Lien Obligations and the initial aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof; and

(iii)    the Other First-Lien Documents, as applicable, relating to such Additional Senior Class Debt shall provide that each Additional Senior Class Debt Party with respect to such Additional Senior Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Additional Senior Class Debt.

 

24


For the avoidance of doubt, in the event any Additional Senior Class Debt is incurred under a then-existing Senior Facility (and the Additional Senior Class Debt Representative with respect to such Senior Facility is already party to this Agreement as an Authorized Representative), then such Additional Senior Class Debt Representative does not need to execute any of the Joinder Agreements referred to above and the certificate and documents referred to in Section 5.14(ii) above are not required to be delivered.

Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate. Interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such indebtedness during the applicable period.

For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.

An Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. The Issuers hereby initially appoint The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as Authenticating Agent, and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch hereby accepts such appointment.

Section 2.04     Paying Agent and Registrar .

(a)    The Company shall maintain one or more paying agents (each, a “ Paying Agent ”) for the Notes, including a Paying Agent in each of (i) the City of London and (ii) Luxembourg, for so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF, but only if the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require (which they currently do not), and may appoint additional Paying Agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Paying Agent. In addition, the Issuer undertakes that it will ensure that it maintains a Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to the Council of the European Union Directive 2003/48/EC or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (“ ECOFIN ”) meeting of 26 and 27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings income, or any law implementing, or complying with or introduced in order to conform to, such directive.

 

45

If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee or its designee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.06. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(d)    The Company may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee and without prior notice to any Holder; provided , however , that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee (or its designee) shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee. For so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted for trading on the Euro MTF and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the Company will publish a notice of any change of Paying Agent or Registrar in a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort ) or the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu).

(e)    The Company initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch to act as Common Depository with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.05     Paying Agent to Hold Money . By 10:00 a.m. London time one Business Day prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Note, the Issuers shall deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. If any of the Issuers or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee (or the Trustee’s designee) and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuers, the Trustee (or its designee) shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.06     Holder Lists . The Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar or if the Paying Agent is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, as applicable, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment record date and at such other times as the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

Section 2.07     Transfer and Exchange . The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor of this Indenture are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in

 

46


connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section. The Issuers shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of any Notes (i) selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed), (ii) for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or (iii) between a regular record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuers, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

Section 2.08     Replacement Notes . If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York UCC are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Issuers or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuers or the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the New York UCC (a “ protected purchaser ”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee or (ii) the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuers in their discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

Section 2.09     Outstanding Notes . Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.08 and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 13.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of either of the Issuers holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuers receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

If a Paying Agent segregates, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date or any date of purchase pursuant to an offer to purchase money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed, maturing or purchased, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

 

47


Section 2.10     Temporary Notes . In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate Definitive Notes and make them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuers, without charge to the Holder. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.11     Cancellation . The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee or the Registrar for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent may forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee), except that so long as the Notes are denominated in euro currency, the Registrar may cancel Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes they have redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee or the Registrar for cancellation. The Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall not authenticate Notes in place of cancelled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.12     Defaulted Interest . If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuers shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuers may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment and shall promptly send or cause to be sent to each affected Holder, the Paying Agent and the Trustee a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Section 2.13     Common Code, ISINs, etc. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent shall use ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided , however , that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers shall promptly advise the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent in writing of any change in the ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.

Section 2.14     Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes . The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes outstanding at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 13.06 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

ARTICLE 3

48


unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, and, in the case of a redemption pursuant to the “ Redemption for Taxation Reasons ” provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Notes all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date.

Section 3.02     Applicability of Article . Redemption of Notes at the election of the Issuers or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article.

Section 3.03     Notices to Trustee .

The Issuers shall give notice to the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent provided for in this Section 3.03 at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date if the redemption is pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Note, provided , notice may be given more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Section 8.01. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuers to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time by written notice to the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

In addition, if the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption or redemption for tax reasons provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Notes prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of any Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that they are entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to their right so to redeem have been satisfied and (b) an opinion of an independent tax counsel of the Issuers’ choosing of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the Payor has been or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee shall accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

Section 3.04     Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed . In the case of any partial redemption, the Registrar will select Notes for redemption pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate and Euroclear and Clearstream will select the Notes in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream or the relevant clearing system (including by the pro rata reduction of the principal amount of all Notes by the application of a “pool factor” in accordance with the normal procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream); provided that no Notes in denominations of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Registrar shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Registrar may select for redemption portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than €100,000. Notes and portions of them that the Registrar selects shall be in principal amounts of €100,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Registrar shall notify the Issuers and the Trustee as soon as practicable of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class, accretion or amortization of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of

 

57


Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03. Any Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, to refinance Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (xii), (xiii), (xiv) and (xviii), of Section 4.03(b) will be permitted to include additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to pay (I) any accrued and unpaid interest on the Indebtedness, any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Disqualified Stock being so refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased and (II) the amount of any tender premium or penalty or premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument or documents governing such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and any defeasance costs and any fees and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance of such refinanced Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock (and, with respect to Indebtedness under the Initial ABL Facility, will be permitted to include an amount equal to any unutilized Initial ABL Facility being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased to the extent permanently terminated at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness).

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness (plus premium (including tender premiums), fees, defeasance costs, accrued interest and expenses including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. The principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of this Section 4.03 shall be determined after giving effect to the appreciation of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any other such Indebtedness.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is contractually subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

For purposes of this Indenture (1) unsecured Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured and (2) senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

Section 4.06     Asset Sales .

(a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless:

(i)    the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Company (such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii)    except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(a)    any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Company) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantees, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or that are otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee and for which the Company and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing,

(b)    any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received) within 365 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and

(c)    any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $150.0 million and (y) 2.0% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this Section 4.06(a) and for no other purpose.

(b)    Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, at the Company’s option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,

(i)    to the extent such Net Proceeds represent proceeds from an Asset Sale of PP&E Collateral, (a) repay, prepay, defease, redeem, purchase or otherwise retire PP&E First Lien Obligations (and if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) or (b) make an investment in (i) any one or more businesses primarily engaged in a

 

68


Similar Business; provided that such investment in any business is in the form of (x) a merger with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (y) the acquisition of Capital Stock that results in the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary or (z) the acquisition of Capital Stock or other assets of such business, (ii) properties, (iii) capital expenditures and (iv) the acquisition of Capital Stock or other assets, that in each of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), are used or useful in a Similar Business or replace the businesses, properties and assets that are subject of such Asset Sale; or

(iii)    to the extent that such Net Proceeds do not represent proceeds from an Asset Sale of PP&E Collateral, to make an Investment in (a) any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) properties or (c) other assets that, in the case of each of (a), (b) and (c), replace the businesses, properties and/or other assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; or

(iv)    any combination of the foregoing;

provided that, in the case of clauses (i)(b) and (iii) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “ Acceptable Commitment ”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds (as defined below).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “ Foreign Disposition ”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the amount equal to the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this covenant, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Company hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and if such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, an amount equal to such Net Proceeds permitted to be repatriated will be applied (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) in compliance with this covenant (net of any additional taxes that are or would be payable or reserved against as a result thereof) and (ii) to the extent that the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition could have a material adverse tax consequence (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any purchase whereby doing so the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates and/or equity partners would incur a material tax liability, including a material tax dividend, material deemed dividend pursuant to Code Section 956 or material withholding tax), the amount equal to the Net Proceeds so

 

69


affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this covenant. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent this covenant relates to Net Proceeds realized by any Excluded Subsidiary, this covenant shall be an obligation of the Company (and not such Excluded Subsidiary) to make a payment or an offer to purchase, in each case, measured by the amount of such Net Proceeds and nothing in Section 4.06 shall be construed as an obligation of any Excluded Subsidiary to make a payment or repatriate any Net Proceeds (or to effect an offer to purchase) or an obligation of the Company or any Guarantor to cause an Excluded Subsidiary to make a payment or repatriate Net Proceeds (or effect an offer to purchase).

Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in this Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b), shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “ Excess Proceeds. ” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $60.0 million, the Issuers shall make an offer to all Holders of Notes (an “ Asset Sale Offer ”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes that is at least €100,000 and an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuers will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $60.0 million by sending the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee and Paying Agent, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream or the relevant clearing system.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to compliance with other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered in an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuers or the Registrar shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described in Section 3.04. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion).

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.06, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

Section 4.07     Transactions with Affiliates .

(a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “ Affiliate Transaction ”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $30.0 million, unless:

(i)    such Affiliate Transaction is on terms, taken as a whole, that are not materially less favorable to the Company or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis or, if in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and

 

70


(ii)    the Company delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $60.0 million, a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the board of directors of the Company approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each such Guarantee may be limited as necessary to recognize certain defenses generally available to guarantors (including those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference, financial assistance, corporate purpose, capital maintenance or similar laws, regulations or defenses affecting the rights of creditors generally) or other considerations under applicable law.

Each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Section 10.03.

Section 4.12     Liens . The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset or property of the Company or any Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom.

The expansion of Liens by virtue of accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Liens for purposes of this Section 4.12.

Section 4.13     Maintenance of Office or Agency .

(a)    The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The

 

75


Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the office of the Registrar; provided that no service of legal process may be made against the Issuers at any office of the Registrar.

(b)    The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided , however , that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers of their obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c)    The Issuers hereby designate the office of the Registrar or its agent as such office or agency of the Issuers in accordance with Section 2.04.

Section 4.14     Suspension of Certain Covenants .

(a)    If, on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture then, beginning on that day and continuing at all times thereafter until the Reversion Date (as defined below) (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “ Covenant Suspension Event ”), the covenants specifically listed in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.11 and clause (iv) of Section 5.01(a) of this Indenture (collectively, the “ Suspended Covenants ” and each individually, a “ Suspended Covenant ”) will not be applicable to the Notes. In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “ Reversion Date ”) that the Notes no longer have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period beginning on the day of a Covenant Suspension Event and ending on a Reversion Date is called the “ Suspension Period.

On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iii). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 shall be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. No Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date (or thereafter) under any Suspended Covenant solely as a result of any actions taken by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, or events occurring, during the Suspension Period. On and after each Reversion Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any contract entered into during the Suspension Period (and not in contemplation of the Reversion Date) so long as such contract and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period.

(b)    For purposes of Section 4.05, on the Reversion Date, any contractual encumbrances or restrictions of the type specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 4.05 entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect on the Issue Date, so that they are permitted under clause (1) of Section 4.05.

(c)    For purposes of Section 4.06, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.

(d)    For purposes of Section 4.07, any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to a contract, agreement, loan, advance or guaranty with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect as of the Issue Date for purposes of Section 4.07(b)(vi). Within 10 days following the Reversion Date, any Guarantees released solely upon the related Covenant Suspension Event shall be reinstated and the Company must comply with the terms of Section 4.11.

 

76


(e)    During a Suspension Period, the Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the second sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.”

(f)    The Issuers shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying it of the commencement or termination of any Suspension Period. The Trustee shall have no independent obligation to determine if a Suspension Period has commenced or terminated, to notify the Holders regarding the same or to determine the consequences thereof.

Section 4.15     Limitations on FinCo . FinCo (and any successor to FinCo) shall not hold any material assets, become liable for any material obligations or engage in any trade or business activity, other than (1) the ownership of Equity Interests of the Company, (2) the incurrence of Indebtedness as a co-obligor or guarantor with respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4.03 and (3) activities incidental to any of the foregoing.

77


Holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an additional amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

(3)    to the extent any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or any other person (A) to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to a partial or complete exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge or (B) to comply with any information gathering or reporting requirements or take any similar actions (including entering into any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service), in each case, that are required to obtain the maximum exemption from withholding that is available to payments received by or on behalf of the Holder;

(7)    to the extent any tax, assessment or other governmental charge would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(8)    to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code; or

(9)    in the case of any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8).

As used under this Section 4.16, the term “United States” means the United States of America, the states of the United States, and the District of Columbia.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent permitted by law, all available remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04     Waiver of Past Defaults . Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on the behalf of all Holders waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (a) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a continuing Default or Event of Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.05     Control by Majority . The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel required by Section 8.02(a)(ii) with respect to legal defeasance need not be delivered if all of the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee or the Registrar for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee and the Paying Agent for the giving of notice of redemption by the Paying Agent in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers.

(b)    Before or after a deposit, the Issuers may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee and the Paying Agent for the redemption of such Notes at a future date in accordance with Article 3.

Section 8.03     Application of Trust Money . The Trustee (or such other entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuers and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for this purpose) shall hold for the benefit of the Holders money or Government Securities (including proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Securities through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes so discharged or defeased.

Section 8.04     Repayment to Issuers . Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuers upon written request any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in this Article which, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if Government Securities have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article 8.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuers upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

Section 8.05     Indemnity for Government Securities . The Issuers shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited Government Securities or the principal and interest received on such Government Securities.

Section 8.06     Reinstatement .

ARTICLE 9

(xii)    to add additional assets as Collateral; or

(xiii)    to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by the Indenture or any of the Security Documents or any release, termination or discharge of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in this Indenture or any of the Security Documents.

Section 9.02     With Consent of the Holders . Notwithstanding Section 9.01 of this Indenture and subject to Section 9.06, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any past or existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, Notes or the Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with the purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, any applicable series of Notes). Section 2.09 and Section 13.04 shall determine

 

94


which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding series of Notes affected, an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:

(i)    reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(ii)    reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to Sections 4.06 and 4.08);

(viii)    impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(ix)    make any change to or modify the ranking of Notes that would materially adversely affect the Holders; or

(x)    except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in any manner adverse to the Holders.

In addition, without the consent of the Holders of Notes of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of Notes then outstanding, no amendment, supplement or waiver may release all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

Section 9.03     Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers .

(a)    A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation delivered in accordance with Section 13.01 before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuers certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of Notes of such series. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Issuers or the Trustee of consents by the Holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuers and the Trustee.

 

95


(b)    The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding Section 9.04(a), those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

Section 9.04     Notation on or Exchange of Notes . If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuers may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee (or the Registrar, at the direction of the Trustee) at the direction of the Issuers may place a notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuers so determine, the Issuers in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make a notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05     Trustee to Sign Amendments . The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement, or waiver, the Trustee shall receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and the Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel shall not be required in connection with the addition of any Guarantor under this Indenture on the Issue Date upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a Supplemental Indenture in the form of Exhibit D to this Indenture.

Section 9.06     Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount . Except as otherwise set forth herein, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent separately on all matters as to which any of such Notes may vote. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article 9 and Section 2.14.

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEES

Section 10.01     Guarantees .

(a)    Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees on a secured basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and the Trustee and their successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, if any, the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuers whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Notes, on the terms set forth in this Indenture by executing this Indenture (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”).

Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

 

96


(b)    Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuers of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c)    Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(d)    Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 10.02 and 10.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.

(e)    Subject to Section 10.02 hereof, each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(f)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee (or its designee) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuers to the Trustee.

(g)    Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Trustee in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 10.01.

(h)    Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

Each Guarantor shall promptly execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

Section 10.02     Limitation on Liability . Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that, any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

97


Section 10.03     Releases .

(a)    A Guarantee as to any Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

Section 10.04     Successors and Assigns . This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 10.05     No Waiver . Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 10.06     Modification . No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 10.07     Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors . Each Restricted Subsidiary which is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D pursuant to which such Subsidiary or other Person shall become a Guarantor under this Article 10 and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations and execute such supplements or documents to join the Security Documents. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and

 

98


that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel shall not be required in connection with the addition of any Guarantor under this Indenture on the Issue Date upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture in the Form of Exhibit D to this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 10.07 is conditional upon the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar having completed any required KYC procedures in accordance with prevailing regulations.

Section 10.08     Non-Impairment . The failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Note shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

Section 10.09     Benefits Acknowledged .

ARTICLE 11

PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR

(a)    In order to provide for all payments due on the Notes as the same shall become due, the Issuers shall cause to be paid to the Paying Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. London time on the Business Day prior to the due date (or such other time as the Issuers and the Paying Agent may mutually agree from time to time) for the payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on any Note, at such bank as the Paying Agent shall previously have notified to the Issuers, immediately available funds sufficient to meet all payment obligations due on such Notes.

(b)    The Issuers hereby authorize and direct the Paying Agent, from the amounts paid to it pursuant to Section 11.01(a) above, to make or cause to be made all payments on the Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Such payments shall be made to the Holder or Holders of Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the provisions contained in this Article 11, and the procedures of the Depository. All interest payments in respect of the Notes will be made by the Paying Agent on the relevant Interest Payment Date (as set forth in the Notes) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business (in London) on the record date specified in the Notes next preceding the Interest Payment Date or such other date as is provided in the Notes. So long as the Notes are represented by one or more global certificates and registered in the name of a nominee of the Common Depository, all interest payments on the Notes shall be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Holder.

(c)    The Paying Agent, to the extent sufficient funds are available to it, will pay the principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, together with accrued and unpaid interest due at the stated maturity date or on such redemption date, if any, upon presentation and surrender of such Note on or after the stated maturity date or redemption date thereof to the Paying Agent, or as specified in the Notes.

(d)    If for any reason the amounts received by the Paying Agent are insufficient to satisfy all claims in respect of all payments then due on the Notes, the Paying Agent shall forthwith notify the Issuers, and the Paying Agent shall not be obliged to pay any such claims until the Paying Agent has received the full amount of the monies then due and payable in respect of such Notes. If, however, the Paying Agent in its sole discretion shall make payment on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, or payments of interest or such other payments when otherwise due on the assumption that the corresponding payment by the Issuers has been or shall be made (it being understood that the Paying Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any such payment) and the amount which should have been received by the Paying Agent is not received on

 

99


such date, then the Issuers agree forthwith on demand to reimburse, or cause the reimbursement of, the Paying Agent for the amount which should have been paid by the Issuers in order for the Paying Agent to make such payment, and pay interest thereon from the day following the date when the amount unpaid should have been received under this Indenture to the date when such amount is actually received (inclusive) at a rate equal to the cost of the Paying Agent of funding such amount, as certified by the Paying Agent and expressed as a rate per annum.

(e)    The Paying Agent hereby agrees that:

(i)    it will hold all sums held by it as Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on the Notes for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes entitled thereto, or for the benefit of the Trustee, as the case may be, until such sums shall be paid out to such Holders or otherwise as provided in Section 11.02(f) below and in this Indenture;

(ii)    it will promptly give the Trustee notice of an Issuer default in the payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on the Notes; and

(iii)    at any time after an Event of Default in respect of the Notes shall have occurred, the Paying Agent shall, if so required by notice in writing given by the Trustee to the Paying Agent: (y) thereafter, until otherwise instructed by the Trustee, act as an agent of the Trustee under the terms of this Indenture; and/or (z) deliver all Notes and all sums, documents and records held by the Paying Agent in respect of the Notes to the Trustee or as the Trustee shall direct in such notice; provided that such notice shall be deemed not to apply to any document or record which the Paying Agent is obliged not to release by any applicable law or regulation.

(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i)    if any Note is presented or surrendered for payment to the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent has delivered a replacement therefor or has been notified that the same has been replaced, the Paying Agent shall as soon as is reasonably practicable notify the Issuers in writing of such presentation or surrender and shall not make payment against the same until it is so instructed by the Issuers and has received the amount to be so paid; and

(ii)    the Paying Agent shall cancel each Note against surrender of which it has made full payment and shall deliver each Note so cancelled by it to the Trustee.

(g)    In no event, shall the Paying Agent be obliged to make any payments hereunder if it has not received the full amount of any payment.

Section 11.02     Indemnity .

(a)    The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall:

(i)    reimburse the Paying Agent and the Registrar upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Paying Agent and the Registrar in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of their agents and counsel), except to the extent that any such expense, disbursement or advance may be attributable to the Paying Agent’s or the Registrar’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence; and

(ii)    indemnify the Paying Agent and the Registrar for, and to hold the Paying Agent and the Registrar harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense, including fees of counsel and including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Paying Agent or the Registrar), incurred by them in connection with this Indenture or in respect of the Issuers’ issue of the Notes, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, any Holder or any Guarantor) or liability in connection with the exercise or

 

100


performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Article 1, except to the extent that such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is due to the Paying Agent’s or the Registrar’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b)    The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the Notes, the termination for any reason of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent or the Registrar.

Section 11.03     General .

(a)    In acting under this Article 11, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall not (a) be under any fiduciary duty towards any person, (b) be responsible for or liable in respect of the authorization, validity or legality of any Note amount paid by it hereunder (except to the extent that any such liability is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Paying Agent’s or the Registrar’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence), (c) be under any obligation towards any person other than the Trustee and the Issuers or (d) assume any relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder.

(e)    The Paying Agent and the Registrar may (at the reasonable and documented expense of the Issuers) consult, on any matter concerning their duties hereunder, any legal adviser or other expert selected by them with due care and, with respect to the selection of other experts, in consultation with the Issuers, and the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall not be liable in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done in good faith in accordance with that adviser’s opinion.

(1)    any Lien now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any PP&E Agent or PP&E Secured Party (or the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in and to the Borrowing Base Collateral that secures all or any portion of the PP&E Priority Obligations shall in all respects be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted to any ABL Agent or ABL Secured Party (or to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in the Borrowing Base Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Borrowing Base Priority Obligations;

(2)    any Lien now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any PP&E Agent or PP&E Secured Party (or the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in and to the PP&E Collateral that secures all or any portion of the PP&E Priority Obligations, shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens granted to any ABL Agent or ABL Secured Party (or to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in the PP&E Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Borrowing Base Priority Obligations;

 

105


(3)    any Lien now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any ABL Agent or ABL Secured Party (or the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in and to the Borrowing Base Collateral that secures all or any portion of the Borrowing Base Priority Obligations, shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens granted to any PP&E Agent or PP&E Secured Party (or to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in the Borrowing Base Collateral to secure all or any portion of the PP&E Priority Obligations; and

(4)    any Lien now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any ABL Agent or ABL Secured Party (or the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in and to the PP&E Collateral that secures all or any portion of the Borrowing Base Priority Obligations, shall in all respects be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted to any PP&E Agent or PP&E Secured Party (or to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of any of the foregoing Persons) in the PP&E Collateral to secure all or any portion of the PP&E Priority Obligations.

(b)    Pursuant to the PP&E Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, each PP&E First Lien Agent under each Series of PP&E First Lien Obligations will agree (and each PP&E First Lien Secured Party agrees) that, notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of PP&E First Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the PP&E First Lien Security Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the PP&E First Lien Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to any impairment or as otherwise provided in the PP&E Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement), (i) the Liens securing each Series of PP&E First Lien Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority and (ii) the benefits and proceeds of the Shared Collateral shall be shared among the PP&E First Lien Secured Parties as provided therein, regardless of the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of PP&E First Lien Obligations, granted on the Shared Collateral.

Section 12.07     Creation and Perfection of Certain Security Interests After the Issue Date .

The Company and the Guarantors agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to create and perfect on the Issue Date the security interests in the Collateral (and obtain title insurance) for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, but to the extent any such security interest is not created or perfected or title insurance obtained by such date, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all acts and things that would be required, including obtaining any required consents from third parties, to have all security interests in the Collateral duly created and enforceable and perfected, to the extent required by the Security Documents, and obtain title insurance promptly following the Issue Date, but in no event later than 90 days thereafter. Failure to obtain such consents and create and perfect a security interest in such Collateral or to obtain title insurance within such period constitutes an Event of Default to the extent provided under clause (i) under Section 6.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after using commercially reasonable efforts such a security interest in an asset could not be created or perfected because a third party consent had not been obtained or local law did not permit a security interest to more than one secured party, the Company will not be required to create or perfect such security interest. For avoidance of doubt, references in this paragraph to Collateral do not include Excluded Assets. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the holders of the Notes has any duty or responsibility to see to or monitor the performance of the Company and its Subsidiaries with regard to these matters.

Section 12.08     Parallel Debt

Without prejudice to the provisions of the other Note Documents, and for the purpose of ensuring and preserving the validity and continuity of the rights of pledge purported to be granted under or pursuant to the Dutch Deed of Pledge, each Issuer irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay, and acknowledges that it owes, to the Collateral Trustee amounts equal to, and in the currency or currencies of, its Corresponding Debt, irrespective of whether any such debt has arisen as at the date of this Indenture or arises after the date hereof, in accordance with and under the same terms and conditions as the Corresponding Debt (such payment undertakings and the obligations and liabilities which are the result thereof hereinafter referred to as the “ Parallel Debt ”), which undertaking, covenant, and acknowledgment of indebtedness the Collateral Trustee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts.

 

106


The Parallel Debt of each Issuer:

 

  (a)

shall become due and payable at the same time as its Corresponding Debt; and

 

  (b)

is independent and separate from, and without prejudice to, its Corresponding Debt.

For purposes of this Section 12.08, the Collateral Trustee:

 

  (a)

is the independent and separate creditor of each Parallel Debt;

 

  (b)

acts in its own name and not as agent, representative or trustee of the PP&E First Lien Secured Parties and its claims in respect of each Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust; and

 

  (c)

shall have the independent and separate right to demand payment of each Parallel Debt in its own name ( zelfstandige vorderingen op naam ) (including, without limitation, through any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in any kind of insolvency proceeding).

The Parallel Debt of an Issuer shall be (i) decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, and (ii) increased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has increased, and the Corresponding Debt of a Credit Party shall be (x) decreased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, and (y) increased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has increased, in each case provided that the Parallel Debt of an Issuer shall never exceed its Corresponding Debt.

If and to the extent that at the time of the creation of the rights of pledge constituted under the Dutch Deed of Pledge, or at any time thereafter, a Corresponding Debt owed to the Collateral Trustee cannot be validly secured through the Parallel Debt, such Corresponding Debt itself shall constitute Secured Liabilities (as defined in the Dutch Deed of Pledge).

All amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Trustee in connection with this Section 12.08, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be applied in accordance with Section 12.06.

This Section 12.08 applies for the purpose of determining the Secured Liabilities (as defined in the Dutch Deed of Pledge) secured in the Dutch Deed of Pledge. Each Holder irrevocably and unconditionally accepts and consents to the creation of the Parallel Debt and the appointment of the Collateral Trustee as the sole creditor under the Parallel Debt as outlined in this Section 12.08.

Section 12.09     Further Assurances .

The Company and the Guarantors will do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required under applicable law or that the Collateral Trustee from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the Collateral Trustee holds, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes, duly created, enforceable and perfected Liens upon the Collateral (including any real, personal or mixed property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become, or are required by any Security Document to become, Collateral after the Notes are issued), in each case, as contemplated by, and with the Lien priority required under, the Security Documents, and subject to the limitations set forth in the Security Documents.

Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Trustee at any time and from time to time, the Company and the Guarantors will promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such security documents, instruments, certificates, notices and other documents, and take such other actions as reasonably required under applicable law or that the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, in each case, to create, perfect or protect the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as contemplated by the Security Documents for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in the Security Documents.

 

107


Section 12.10     Insurance . The Company and the Guarantors will maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all their respective property in at least such amounts and against such risks (but including in any event public liability, product liability and business interruption) as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in a Similar Business, and will cause the Collateral Trustee to at all times be named as loss payee with respect to all “All Risk” insurance policies and an additional insured (but without any liability for premiums) under all general liability policies maintained by the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to this Section 12.10.

a Payor is, or on the next interest payment date in respect of such Notes would be, required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such Notes, and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Payor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new paying agent where this would be reasonable, but not including assignment of the obligation to make payment with respect to such Notes). Such Change in Tax Law must (i) not have been publicly announced before the Issue Date and (ii) become effective on or after the Issue Date (or if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date).

(b)    No such notice of redemption will be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Payor would be obligated to make such payment of Additional Amounts. Prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of any Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuers are entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to their right so to redeem have been satisfied and (b) an opinion of an independent tax counsel of our choosing of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the Payor has been or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(c)    Upon receiving such notice of redemption, each holder will have the right to elect to not have its Notes redeemed, in which case the Payors will not be obligated to pay any Additional Amounts on any payment with respect to such Notes after the Tax Redemption Date (or, if we fail to pay the redemption price on the Tax Redemption Date, after such later date on which we pay the redemption price) solely as a result of such Change in Tax Law that resulted in the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts, and all future payments with respect to such Notes will be subject to the deduction or withholding of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld as a result of such Change in Tax Law.

(d)    If no election is made, the holder will have its Notes redeemed without any further action.

Notice of Redemption

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to a redemption date pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Note, the Issuers shall mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) (with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent) a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address (except that such notice of redemption may be mailed (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Section 8.01). Notes in denominations larger than €100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of €1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

Repurchase of Notes at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control and Asset Sales

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuers will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of certain events.

A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days prior to the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed.

12.

Discharge and Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions and as set forth in the Indenture, the Issuers at any time may terminate some of or all of their obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuers deposit with the Trustee (or such other entity directed, designated or appointed by the Issuers and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acting for the Trustee for this purpose) money or Government Securities for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

Amendment; Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture, or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (voting as a single class) and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuers and the Trustee may amend the Indenture, any Guarantee, the Notes or the Security Documents (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency as certified by the Issuers; (ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes of such series in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code); (iii) to comply with the covenant relating to mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; (iv) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s, FinCo’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders in a transaction that complies with the Indenture; (v) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder; (vi) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuers or any Guarantor; (vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee or Paying Agent thereunder pursuant to the requirements thereof; (viii) to add a Guarantor under the Indenture or to release a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and to provide for any local law restrictions required by the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor; (ix) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees, the Notes or the Security Documents to any provision of the Offering Memorandum under the caption “ Description of Notes ” to the extent that such provision in the “ Description of Notes ” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees, the Notes or the Security Documents as certified by the Issuers; (x) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes permitted to be issued under the Indenture; (xi) to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by the Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance of the Notes and administration of the Notes; provided, however, that (a) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; (xii) to add additional assets as Collateral; or (xiii) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by the Indenture or any of the Security Documents or any release, termination or discharge of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in the Indenture or any of the Security Documents.

 

14.

Defaults and Remedies

If an Event of Default (other than a Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuers) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuers, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuers occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee, in writing, to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any

 

A-10


remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses that may be caused by taking or not taking such action.

The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee, annually, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year.

 

15.

Trustee Dealings with the Issuers

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

 

16.

No Recourse Against Others

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of the Issuers or any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or direct or indirect parent companies shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

 

17.

Authentication

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

 

18.

The Collateral Trustee holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Collateral Trustee to enter into the Security Documents, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.

This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of €[●] principal amount of 5.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) of Federal-Mogul LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Company ”), and Federal-Mogul Financing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ Finco ” and, together with the Company, the “ Issuers ”).

Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows:

 

Name:                                                                                  

Address:                                                                               

Taxpayer ID Number:                                                          

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

(1)    We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least €100,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase notes similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment.

(2)    We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Issuers or any affiliate of the Issuers was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) in the United States to a person whom we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (b) outside the United States in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (c) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if applicable) or (d) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (a) through (d) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. In addition, we will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any purchaser of Notes of the resale restrictions set forth above. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made to an institutional “accredited investor” prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Issuers and the Registrar, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Issuers and the Registrar reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause 2(b), 2(c) or 2(d) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Issuers and the Registrar.

[                    ] SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of [                    ], among the new guarantors named in the signature pages hereto (the “Guarantors”) 3 , Federal-Mogul LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), Federal-Mogul Financing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finco” and, together with the Company, the “Issuers”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as trustee (the “Trustee”) under the Indenture dated as of June 29, 2017 among the Issuers, the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as paying agent, and The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A., as registrar (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Indenture”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS the Issuers have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee the Indenture, providing initially for the issuance of €350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS Sections 4.11 and 10.07 of the Indenture provide that under certain circumstances the Issuers are required to cause the Guarantors to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guarantors shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuers’ Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to a Guarantee on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee and the Issuers are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantors, the Issuers and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows:

1.     Defined Terms . As used in this Supplemental Indenture, terms defined in the Indenture or in the preamble or recital hereto are used herein as therein defined, except that the term “Holders” in this Guarantee shall refer to the term “Holders” as defined in the Indenture and the Trustee acting on behalf of and for the benefit of such Holders. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereby” and other words of similar import used in this Supplemental Indenture refer to this Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular section hereof.

2.     Guarantee . The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally with all existing Guarantors (if any), irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the Issuers’ Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, including, but not limited to, Article 10 of the Indenture, and to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Notes and to perform all of the obligations and agreements of a Guarantor under the Indenture.

3.     Releases . A Guarantee as to any Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Guarantor shall be deemed to be released from all obligations as provided in Section 10.03 of the Indenture.

4.     Notices . All notices or other communications to the Guarantors shall be given as provided in Section 13.01 of the Indenture.

5.     Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indentures Part of Indenture . Except as expressly amended and supplemented hereby, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms,

 

2  

May include any relevant local law restrictions.

It shall not be required that any existing guarantors be party to a supplemental indenture to add new guarantors.

 

C-1


conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.

6.     No Recourse Against Others . No past, present or future director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator, agent or holder of any Equity Interests in the Issuers or of the Guarantors or any direct or indirect parent corporation, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

7.     Governing Law . THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE NEW GUARANTOR AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

8.     Trustee Makes No Representation . The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture.

9.     Multiple Originals . The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Supplemental Indenture. The exchange of copies of this Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or email (in PDF format or otherwise) shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Supplemental Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or email (in PDF format or otherwise) shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Trustee or any PP&E Indenture Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Trustee or any PP&E Indenture Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.

Schedule 3.09

COMMERCIAL TORT CLAIMS

Federal-Mogul Motorparts LLC (f/k/a Federal-Mogul Motorparts Corporation) v.General Parts Company and UAP Inc. Claim brought by Federal-Mogul Motorparts against its customer NAPA due to breaches of NAPA’s obligations under the current supply agreement between Motorparts and NAPA. The supply agreement remains in effect. An informal mediation occurred on April 22, 2017 (a prior formal mediation was not successful) which resulted in certain progress towards a settlement. Settlement discussions between the parties continue although they have been complicated by Federal-Mogul Motorparts’ recent realization that Genuine Parts Company is likely using its catalog data without permission and the desire of both parties to ensure that any settlement is global and includes any such catalog claims; a settlement meeting in July is being discussed. The case is otherwise early in the process, with discovery ongoing. Claim is upwards of $18MM.

Federal-Mogul Motorparts LLC (f/k/a Federal-Mogul Motorparts Corporation) v. Lang Distributing. Claim brought by Federal-Mogul Motorparts against its customer Lang Distributing for amounts owed by Lang. Claim amount is de minimus (approximately $125,000).

The undersigned Additional Senior Class Debt Representative (the “ New Representative ”) is executing this Joinder Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien Security Documents.

Accordingly, the New Representative agrees as follows:

SECTION 1.    In accordance with Section 5.14 of the Intercreditor Agreement, the New Representative by its signature below becomes an Authorized Representative under, and the related Additional Senior Class Debt in respect of the Indenture becomes subject to and bound by, the Intercreditor Agreement with the same force and effect as if the New Representative had

The Intercreditor Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2.    The New Representative represents and warrants to the Collateral Trustee, each Authorized Representative and the other First Lien Secured Parties, individually, that (a) it has full power and authority to enter into this Joinder Agreement, in its capacity as trustee under the Indenture, (b) this Joinder Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability, and (c) the Other First Lien Documents relating to such Additional Senior Class Debt provide that, upon the New Representative’s entry into this Joinder Agreement, the Additional Senior Class Debt Parties in respect of such Additional Senior Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement as Other First Lien Secured Parties.

SECTION 6.    In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Joinder Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Intercreditor Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.


SECTION 7.    All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 5.01 of the Intercreditor Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Appointment of Co-Collateral Trustee; Resignation of Retiring Collateral Trustee; and Appointment of Successor Collateral Trustee .

(a) Pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, Wilmington is hereby appointed, and Wilmington hereby accepts such appointment, to act as Co-Collateral Trustee under the Collateral Trust Agreement and the other Collateral Trust Security Documents with BANA in such capacity (until the Succession Effective Date), effective as of the date hereof, and the Parent and the other Loan Parties hereby consent to such appointment. In accordance with Section 5.10 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, such appointment shall be subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(ii) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Collateral Trustee under the Collateral Trust Agreement and under the other Collateral Trust Security Documents shall be conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Co-Collateral Trustees acting jointly except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by BANA, as Collateral Trustee, BANA shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, or unless the performance of such act or acts would result in the imposition of any tax on BANA, as Collateral Trustee, which would not be imposed absent such joint act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by Wilmington as Co-Collateral Trustee or any agent (including BANA in its capacity as Co-Collateral Trustee) appointed by Wilmington in such capacity;

(iii) no power given by the relevant Collateral Trust Security Documents to, or which it is provided therein may be exercised by, BANA as Collateral Trustee shall be exercised thereunder by BANA as Collateral Trustee except jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, Wilmington, anything contained herein or therein to the contrary notwithstanding;

(v) the Parent and Wilmington, in its capacity as Co-Collateral Trustee, at any time by an instrument in writing executed by them jointly, may accept the resignation of or remove BANA, as Co-Collateral Trustee, and, in that case by an instrument in writing executed by them jointly, may appoint a successor Co-Collateral Trustee anything contained herein or in the Collateral Trust Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. If the Parent shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument within 10 days after it receives a written request from Wilmington, as Co-Collateral Trustee, to do so, or if a Notice of Event of Default is in effect, Wilmington, as Co-Collateral Trustee, shall have the power to accept the resignation of or remove BANA, as Collateral Trustee and as Co-Collateral Trustee, and to appoint a successor without the concurrence of the Parent, the Parent hereby appointing Wilmington, as Co-Collateral Trustee, its agent and attorney to act for it in such connection in such contingency. If Wilmington, as Co-Collateral Trustee, shall have appointed a separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees as above provided, Wilmington, as Co-Collateral Trustee, may at any time, by an instrument in writing, accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee and the successor to any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall be appointed by the Parent and Wilmington, as Co-Collateral Trustee, or by Wilmington, as Co-Collateral Trustee, alone pursuant to Section 5.10(b) of the Collateral Trust Agreement;

(vi) all notices, instructions or other communications given by Wilmington, as Co-Collateral Trustee, to BANA, as Co-Collateral Trustee, shall be given in writing or by telecopy transmission to Bank of America, N.A., Attention: Kindra Mullarky, at 2600 West Big Beaver Road, Troy, MI 48084, Telephone: (248) 631-0532, Email: kindra.mullarky@baml.com, with copies addressed to its counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, Attention: Samantha Hai, at 450 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10017, Telephone: (212) 450-4556, Email: samantha.hait@davispolk.com; provided that any notice, instruction or other communication to BANA, in its capacity as Co-Collateral Trustee, shall not be effective until received by such Co-Collateral Trustee in writing or by facsimile transmission in accordance with the foregoing; and

(b) Pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, BANA, in its capacity as Collateral Trustee and as a Co-Collateral Trustee, hereby resigns as Collateral Trustee and as Co-Collateral Trustee, in each case, effective as of the Succession Effective Date. Each of the Representatives and the Loan Parties party hereto hereby waive any prior written notice requirement of such resignation pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Collateral Trust Agreement or any other Collateral Trust Security Document. Pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Representatives hereby appoint Wilmington, and Wilmington hereby accepts such appointment, to act as the sole Collateral Trustee under the Collateral Trust Agreement and the other Collateral Trust Security Documents, effective as of the Succession Effective Date, and the Loan Parties hereby consent to such appointment. The Loan Parties and the undersigned Representatives acknowledge that any and all amounts owed to the Retiring Collateral Trustee under this Agreement or any Collateral Trust Security Document shall constitute “Secured Obligations” and “First Priority Obligations,” as applicable, for all purposes of the Collateral Trust Agreement and shall be entitled to the priority afforded to them under the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(c) The Retiring Collateral Trustee hereby assigns to the Successor Collateral Trustee each of the Liens and security interests granted to the Retiring Collateral Trustee in its capacity as the Collateral Trustee under the Collateral Trust Security Documents for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties, together with any claims, awards, and judgments, if any, in favor of the Retiring Collateral Trustee in its capacity as the Collateral Trustee under the Collateral Trust Security Documents, and the Successor Collateral Trustee hereby assumes all such Liens and security interests, for its benefit and for the benefit of the Secured Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing sentence shall require the Retiring Collateral Trustee to assign to the Successor Collateral Trustee any fees or expenses or any claims, awards or judgments relating to indemnity, reimbursement or other protections to which the Retiring Collateral Trustee is entitled under the Collateral Trust Security Documents (in its capacity as a Representative or as Collateral Trustee) received or incurred by, or due to, the Retiring Collateral Trustee prior to the Succession Effective Date.

(d) The Loan Parties, the Representatives party hereto and the Retiring Collateral Trustee hereby authorize (but without obligation to do so) the Successor Collateral Trustee to file, on or after the date hereof, any UCC assignments or other assignments and amendments with respect to the UCC financing statements, the mortgages, and other filings in respect of the Collateral, and to execute such other agreements or amendments in respect of the Collateral and the Collateral Trust Security Documents, including filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office and assignments and/or amendments to account control agreements, as are necessary or appropriate or as requested by JPM or the Successor Collateral Trustee (it being understood that the Successor Collateral Trustee has no duty to make such request) to evidence the Successor Collateral Trustee’s appointment as a Co-Collateral Trustee effective as of the date hereof and succession as the Collateral Trustee under the Collateral Trust Agreement and the other Collateral Trust Security Documents effective as of the Succession Effective Date. The Parent agrees to file or cause the filing of all such assignments, amendments, mortgages and other filings.

The Loan Parties and the undersigned Representatives hereby agree that the Surviving Provisions that expressly survive the Retiring Collateral Trustee’s resignation shall apply to all actions taken or omitted to be taken by BANA under or in connection with this Agreement and the Collateral Trust Security Documents, whether taken or omitted before or after the date of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood by all parties that the Retiring Collateral Trustee effective on the Succession Effective Date shall be automatically discharged from all duties and obligations arising under the Collateral Trust Security Documents from and after the Succession Effective Date without further action by any Person and, except as expressly provided herein, nothing contained herein is intended to create any duty or obligation on the part of the Retiring Collateral Trustee to continue to act as Co-Collateral Trustee or as Collateral Trustee beyond such date.

5. Consent and Reimbursement; Indemnification .

(a) The Loan Parties hereby consent to all actions reasonably taken by the Co-Collateral Trustees, the Retiring Collateral Trustee and the Successor Collateral Trustee in connection with Sections  1(a) and 4 hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, BANA, in its capacity as Co-Collateral Trustee, will be under no obligation to take any action at the direction of Wilmington pursuant to Section  1(a) hereof that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose BANA, in its capacity as Co-Collateral Trustee, to any liability or that is contrary to any Collateral Trust Security Document or applicable law.

6. Fees and Expenses .

For the avoidance of doubt, any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Retiring Collateral Trustee in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the effectuation of the assignments contemplated hereby that remain unreimbursed after the Succession Effective Date shall constitute “Secured Obligations” and “First Priority Obligations” under the Collateral Trust Agreement and the other Collateral Trust Security Documents.

(b) Commencing on the date hereof, (i) Successor Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to receive Collateral Trustee Fees, reimbursement of fees and expenses and indemnities pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05 and 4.06 of the Collateral Trust Agreement and in accordance with any fee agreement between Wilmington and the Parent and (ii) BANA shall cease to be entitled to receive the Collateral Trustee fees provided by that certain Revolving Agent and Arranger Fee Letter dated as of February 5, 2018 between Federal-Mogul LLC and BANA (as amended, the “ BANA Fee Letter ”); provided that BANA shall remain entitled to receive any other unpaid fees and expenses owed to it pursuant to the BANA Fee Letter (other than those fees waived pursuant to Section  1(c) ) and any Collateral Trust Security Documents (including fees and expenses incurred in its capacity as Collateral Trustee that have been accrued but not yet invoiced as of the date hereof) and shall be permitted to retain any fees paid to it prior to the date hereof. All other provisions of the Collateral Trust Security Documents providing for the payment of fees and expenses of, and providing indemnities for the benefit of, the Retiring Collateral Trustee shall remain in full force and effect for the benefit of the Successor Collateral Trustee and the Retiring Collateral Trustee.

Accordingly, the New Representative agrees as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.14 of the Intercreditor Agreement, the New Representative by its signature below becomes an Authorized Representative under, and the related Additional Senior Class Debt in respect of the Credit Agreement becomes subject to and bound by, the Intercreditor Agreement with the same force and effect as if the New Representative had originally been named therein as an Authorized Representative and the New Representative, on its behalf and on behalf of such Additional Senior Class Debt Parties, hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to it as Authorized Representative and to the Additional Senior Class Debt Parties that it represents as Other First Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Credit Agreement.

(d) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amounts shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of overdue amounts in respect of any Loan, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of overdue amounts in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%) (unless such overdue amount is denominated in a Foreign Currency, in which case such overdue amount shall bear interest of a rate per annum equal to the highest rate then applicable under this Agreement to Foreign Currency Revolving Loans in such currency plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(e) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.17 Computation of Interest and Fees .

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed and that interest on any Foreign Currency Revolving Loan denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

 

66


(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.17(a).

2.18 Inability to Determine Interest Rate .

(a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate (including because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period, or

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, or

(iii) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that deposits in the applicable currency are not generally available, or cannot be obtained by the Lenders, in the applicable market (any Foreign Currency affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.18(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) is referred to as an “ Affected Foreign Currency ”),

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Company and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.18 in respect of Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars, (1) any ABR Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period having the duration of such Interest Period shall be continued as ABR Loans and (2) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made under the relevant Facility with an Interest Period having the duration of such Interest Period shall be made as Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period with the shortest available duration described in the definition of “Interest Period” or, in the absence of any such available duration, as ABR Loans and (y) in respect of any Foreign Currency Revolving Loans which are Eurodollar Loans, then (i) any such Foreign Currency Revolving Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall not be made and (ii) any such outstanding Foreign Currency Revolving Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency shall be due and payable on the first day of such Interest Period. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent agrees to promptly withdraw such notice after it becomes aware (by receipt of notice or otherwise) that the circumstances described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above cease to exist), no further Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars or Foreign Currency Revolving Loans which are Eurodollar Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the relevant Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars.

 

67


(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) of this Section 2.18 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) of this Section 2.18 have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.18(b), only to the extent the Screen Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any requests for the conversion of any Loans to, or continuation of any Loans as, a Eurodollar Loans shall be ineffective, (y) if any borrowing request requests a Eurodollar Loan in Dollars, such borrowing shall be made as an ABR Loan and (z) in respect of any Foreign Currency Revolving Loans which are Eurodollar Loans, (I) if any borrowing request requests a Foreign Currency Revolving Loan in an Affected Foreign Currency, such Foreign Currency Revolving Loan shall not be made and (II) any outstanding Foreign Currency Revolving Loan in an Affected Foreign Currency shall be due and payable on the first day of such Interest Period.

2.19 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments .

(a) Each borrowing by a Borrower from the Revolving Lenders hereunder, each payment by a Borrower 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 Revolving Lenders.

(b) [RESERVED].

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.28.

(d) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Tranche A Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche A Term Loans then held by the Tranche A Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Tranche A Term Loans in the direct order of maturity. Amounts prepaid on account of the Tranche A Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at its Domestic Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds (or, (i) in the case of payments in respect of U.K. Swingline Loans, prior to 12:00 Noon, London time, on the due date thereof to the applicable Swingline Lender at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds and (ii) in the case of principal or interest relating to Foreign Currency Revolving Loans, prior to 12:00 Noon, London time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at its Funding Office, in the relevant Foreign Currency and in immediately available funds). The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, (i) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the

 

69


case of amounts denominated in Foreign Currencies, such amount with interest thereon at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, in each case for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover (i) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the applicable Borrower or (ii) in the case of amounts denominated in Foreign Currencies, such amount with interest thereon at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, on demand, from the applicable Borrower.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the applicable Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the applicable Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, (i) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) in the case of amounts denominated in Foreign Currencies, such amount with interest thereon at a rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower.

(h) Nothing in this Section 2.19 creates any obligation for (i) any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to repay any Obligation of any Domestic Borrower or (ii) any Domestic Borrower to repay any Obligation of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.

2.20 Requirements of Law (a) .

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Credit Party with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject such Credit Party to any Tax (except for Non-Excluded Taxes and Taxes described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition of Non-Excluded Taxes ) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement (including any insurance charge or other assessment, but other than any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 2.20(e)) against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Credit Party or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

 

70


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

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Credit Party, by an amount that such Credit Party deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Credit Party, upon its demand and delivery of the calculation of such amount, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Credit Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled together with a calculation of such amount claimed; provided that failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.20(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided further that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(b) If any Credit Party shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Credit Party, or any corporation controlling such Credit Party with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit Party’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Credit Party to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrowers shall pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party for such reduction; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that the Borrower shall be required to make such payment only if the respective Lender certifies that it generally requires similarly situated borrowers in comparable syndicated credit facilities to which it is a lender to make similar payments; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

 

71


(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) 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 be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Credit Party to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(e) Eurocurrency Liabilities . Each Borrower shall pay to each Lender, without duplication, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financing regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of any Eurodollar Loans of such Borrower, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Company shall have received at least ten days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender; provided further that the Borrower shall be required to make such payment only if the respective Lender certifies that it generally requires similarly situated borrowers in comparable syndicated credit facilities to which it is a lender to make similar payments. If a Lender fails to give notice ten days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten days from receipt of such notice.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, (i)(A) the adoption of any law, rule or regulation after the date of this Agreement, (B) any change in any law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority after the date of this Agreement or (C) compliance by any Lender with any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority made or issued after the date of this Agreement, shall make it unlawful for any such Lender to make or maintain any Foreign Currency Revolving Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Foreign Currency Revolving Loan, or (ii) there shall have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions (including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls, but excluding conditions otherwise covered by this Section 2.20) or currency exchange rates which would make it impracticable for the Lenders to make or maintain Foreign Currency Revolving Loans denominated in the relevant currency to, or for the account of, any Borrower, then, by written notice to the Company and to the Administrative Agent:

 

72


(i) such Lender or Lenders may declare that Foreign Currency Revolving Loans (in the affected currency or currencies) will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender or Lenders hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods), whereupon any request for a Foreign Currency Revolving Loan (in the affected currency or currencies) or to continue a Foreign Currency Revolving Loan (in the affected currency or currencies), as the case may be, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender or Lenders only, be of no force and effect, unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Foreign Currency Revolving Loans (in the affected currency or currencies) made by it be converted to ABR Loans or Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be (unless repaid by the relevant Borrower as described below), in which event all such Foreign Currency Revolving Loans (in the affected currency or currencies) shall be converted to ABR Loans or Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in this Section 2.20(f) and at the Exchange Rate on the date of such conversion or, at the option of the relevant Borrower, repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or, if earlier, the date on which the applicable notice becomes effective.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the converted Foreign Currency Revolving Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans or Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be, made by such Lender resulting from such conversion. For purposes of this Section 2.20(f), a notice to the Company by any Lender shall be effective as to each Foreign Currency Revolving Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period, if any, currently applicable to such Foreign Currency Revolving Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by the Company.

2.21 Taxes .

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any such Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to any Credit Party, as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent, (i) such amounts shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party to the Credit Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Credit Party (after such deduction or withholding of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement as if such withholding or deduction had not been made.

 

73


(b) In addition, the applicable Borrower shall pay, severally and not jointly, any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for any Other Taxes.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by a Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof. If (i) a Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, or (ii) any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender, such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes and any reasonable expenses that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure, in the case of (i), or any direct imposition, in the case of (ii), whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower 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.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for any Taxes (i) attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the applicable Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Borrower to do so) or (ii) attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either 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 paragraph (d).

(e) (i) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “ Non-U.S. Lender ”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (i) two copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F and the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments

 

74


by under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the 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 the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not 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 (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation under this Section 2.21(f) shall not be required if 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. Each Lender shall deliver such forms, certifications and other documentations required under Sections 2.21(e) and 2.21(f) upon the expiration, inaccuracy, or obsolescence of any such forms, certifications or other documentations previously delivered by such Lender or shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent if it determines that it is no longer legally able to provide such forms, certifications or other documentations to such Borrower (or any other forms, certifications or documentations adopted by the Governmental Authorities for such purpose).

(g) 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 been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.21 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.21), 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

 

75


party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.21(g) (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 2.21(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.21(g) 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 Section 2.21(g) 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) For purposes of this Section 2.21, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(i) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.22 Indemnity .

(e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 but excluding Section 2.24) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender and without duplication, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated interest-bearing account reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower(s) and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or any Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuing Lender or a Swingline Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for existing or (unless such Defaulting Lender has no remaining unutilized Revolving Commitment) future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or (unless such Defaulting Lender has no remaining unutilized Revolving Commitment) future participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower(s), unless such Defaulting Lender has no remaining unutilized Revolving Commitment, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Revolving Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Issuing Lender or any Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Issuing Lender or such Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the applicable Borrower(s) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower(s) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided , that, with respect to this clause (viii), if such payment is (A) a prepayment of the principal amount

 

86

On the Revolving Termination Date, any remaining amounts not previously applied (except for amounts in connection with clause (vii) above) shall be returned to the applicable Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower(s), each Issuing Lender and each Swingline Lender each reasonably determines that any such Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) the outstanding Swingline Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage and (ii) any arrangements made by the applicable Borrower(s) pursuant to clause (b)(ii) above shall be terminated and any cash collateral or arrangement provided by such Borrower(s) in accordance thereto will be terminated or promptly returned to such Borrower(s), as applicable.

The provisions of this Agreement relating to funding, payment and other matters with respect to the Revolving Facility may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.28. The provisions of this Section 2.28 may not be amended, supplemented or modified without, in addition to consents required by Section 10.1, the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Borrowers and any Defaulting Lenders.

2.29 Designation of Subsidiary Borrowers .

(a) The Company shall be permitted, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) to designate any Subsidiary of the Company as a Subsidiary Borrower under the Revolving Facility upon (A) 10 Business Days prior written notice to the Lenders (such notice to contain the name, primary business address and taxpayer identification number of such Subsidiary) (a “ Notice of Designation ”), (B) the execution and delivery by the Company, such Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent of a Joinder Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit D (a “ Joinder Agreement ”), providing for such Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Borrower, (C) compliance by the Company and such Subsidiary Borrower with Section  6.9(g) , (D) the agreement and acknowledgment by the Company and each other Borrower that the Guarantee Agreement and the Collateral Agreement each cover the Obligations of such Subsidiary, (E) delivery by the Company or such Subsidiary of all documentation and information as is reasonably requested in writing by the Lenders at least three days prior to the anticipated effective date of such designation required by U.S. regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-

 

87


money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, and (F) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of (1) corporate or other applicable resolutions, incorporation or other applicable constituent documents, officer’s certificates and legal opinions in respect of such Subsidiary in each case reasonably equivalent to comparable documents delivered on the Closing Date and (2) such other documents with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request; and

(ii) to remove any Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower upon execution and delivery by the Company to the Administrative Agent of a written notification to such effect and repayment in full of all Loans made to such Subsidiary Borrower, cash collateralization of all L/C Obligations in respect of any Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Subsidiary Borrower and repayment in full of all other amounts owing by such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (it being agreed that any such repayment shall be in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Lender shall not be required to make a Loan as part of any borrowing by or to issue or acquire a participation in any Letter of Credit issued for the account of, a Foreign Subsidiary with respect to which the Company has delivered a Notice of Designation (a “ Proposed Foreign Subsidiary Borrower ”) if the making of such Loan or the issuance by such Lender or the acquisition by such Lender (or, if such Lender is the Issuing Lender, the acquisition by any other Lender) of a participation in, such Letter of Credit would violate any law or regulation (including any violation of any law or regulation due to an absence of licensing) to which such Lender is subject. As soon as practicable after receiving a Notice of Designation from the Company in respect of a Proposed Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, and in any event no later than seven Business Days after the date of such Notice of Designation, any Lender that is restricted by any law or regulation (including due to an absence of licensing) to which such Lender is subject from extending credit (including, for the avoidance of doubt, making Loans, issuing Letters of Credit or acquiring participations in Letters of Credit) under this Agreement to such Proposed Foreign Subsidiary Borrower directly or through a Lender Affiliate as set forth in Section 2.29(c) (an “ Objecting Lender ”) shall so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Objecting Lender that has not withdrawn such notice, the Company shall, effective on or before the date that such Proposed Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either (A) exercise its rights with respect to such Objecting Lender pursuant to Section 2.24 or (B) cancel its request to designate such Proposed Foreign Subsidiary Borrower as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder.

(c) In addition to the foregoing requirements, if the Company shall deliver a Notice of Designation with respect to a Proposed Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company, fulfill its Commitment by causing a Lender Affiliate to act as the Lender in respect of such Proposed Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. Additionally, (x) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (y) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of those obligations, and (z) the Company, any other Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

 

88


(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender) to enter into such amendments to the Security Documents and/or such new Security Documents as are necessary or advisable, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, in order to effect the provisions of Section 6.9(g).

(e) If Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries is designated as a “Subsidiary Borrower” hereunder, Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries shall repay any outstanding Loans incurred by Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the earlier to occur of (x) the incurrence of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 7.2(gg) or (y) consummation of the Spin-Off, and shall cease to be a Subsidiary Borrower at such time.

2.30 MIRE Events . Notwithstanding the foregoing, no MIRE Event may be closed until the date that is (a) if there are no Mortgaged Properties in a “special flood hazard area”, 10 Business Days or (b) if there are any Mortgaged Properties in a “special flood hazard area”, 30 days (in each case, the “ Notice Period ”), after the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders the following documents in respect of such real property: (i) a completed flood hazard determination from a third party vendor; (ii) if such real property is located in a “special flood hazard area”, (A) a notification to the applicable Loan Parties of that fact and (if applicable) notification to the applicable Loan Parties that flood insurance coverage is not available and (B) evidence of the receipt by the applicable Loan Parties of such notice; and (iii) if required by Flood Laws, evidence of required flood insurance; provided that any such MIRE Event may be closed prior to the Notice Period if the Administrative Agent shall have received confirmation from each applicable Lender that such Lender has completed any necessary flood insurance due diligence to its reasonable satisfaction.

2.31 Replacement Facilities .

(a) At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request to replace all or a portion of the Term Loans under any Facility with one or more additional tranches of term loans under this Agreement (the “ Replacement Term Loans ”) or replace all of the Revolving Facility with a new revolving credit facility under this Agreement (the “ Replacement Revolving Facility ”; each such replacement facility, a “ Replacement Facility ”); provided that (a) at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Replacement Facility Amendment no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom and (b) the Administrative Agent has consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) in writing to the incurrence of such Replacement Facility. Each tranche of Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the principal amount of the Term Loans being replaced (plus the amount of fees, expenses and original issue discount incurred in connection with such Replacement Term Loans). The amount of each Replacement Revolving Facility shall not exceed the amount of the Revolving Facility being replaced (plus the amount of fees and expenses incurred in connection with such Replacement Revolving Facility). The Net Cash Proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans shall be applied only to prepay the Term Loans of the tranche of Term Loans which such Replacement Term Loans are replacing (plus the amount of fees, expenses and original issue discount incurred in connection with such Replacement Term Loans).

 

89


(b) Any Replacement Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Commitments and the other Term Loans pursuant to the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), (ii) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (or, to the extent set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment, less favorably than) the Term Loans being replaced and (iii) other than amortization, maturity date and pricing (interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums) (as set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment) shall have the same terms (or, to the extent set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment, less favorable terms or more favorable term (if such more favorable terms benefit all Term Lenders)) as the Term Loans being replaced, or such other terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers; provided that (A) any Replacement Term Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the date which is 180 days after the final scheduled maturity date of the Term Loans being replaced, (B) any Replacement Term Loans shall not have a weighted average life to maturity that is less than 180 days later than the weighted average life to maturity of the then remaining Term Loans under the applicable tranche and (C) principal of and interest on any Term Loans being replaced with Replacement Term Loans shall be paid in full on the Replacement Facility Closing Date for the applicable Replacement Term Loans, (D) the Term Loans of each Lender under the replaced tranche shall be prepaid ratably and (E) in the case of a refinancing of Term Loans with Replacement Term Loans, All-in Yield of the Replacement Term Loans will not be more than 0.50% higher than the corresponding All-in Yield applicable to the Relevant Existing Facility unless the All-in Yield with respect to such Relevant Existing Facility is adjusted to be equal to the All-in Yield with respect to the relevant Replacement Term Loans minus 0.50%; provided , further , that in determining the applicable All-in Yield: (w) original issue discount or upfront fees paid by the relevant Borrower in connection with the Relevant Existing Facility (based on a four-year average life to maturity or lesser remaining life to maturity), shall be included, (x) any amendments to the Applicable Margin that became effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the time of the addition of the relevant Replacement Term Loans shall be included, (y) arrangement, commitment, structuring and underwriting fees and any amendment fees paid or payable to the Arrangers (or their Affiliates) in their respective capacities as such in connection with the Relevant Existing Facility or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in their capacities as such applicable to the relevant Replacement Term Loans shall be excluded to the extent such amounts are not shared generally with other lenders and (z) if the relevant Replacement Term Loans include any interest rate floor that is greater than that applicable to the Relevant Existing Facility, and such floor is applicable to the Relevant Existing Facility on the date of determination, the excess amount shall be equated to interest margin for determining the applicable All-in Yield. The principal of and interest on any outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans under any replaced Revolving Facility, together with all fees owed by the Borrowers under such Revolving Facility, shall be paid in full and all outstanding Letters of Credit will be replaced or continued on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders under such Revolving Facility, in each case on the Replacement Facility Closing Date for such Facility. Any Replacement Revolving Facility shall be on the terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the Revolving Commitments (other than maturity date and pricing (interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums)) or on such other terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the

 

90


Borrowers, as set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment. In addition, the terms and conditions applicable to any Replacement Facility may provide for additional or different covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrowers and the Lenders under such Replacement Facility and applicable only during periods after the then Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Replacement Facility is issued, incurred or obtained or the date on which all non-refinanced Obligations (excluding Obligations in respect of any Hedge Agreements and contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not due and payable) are paid in full.

(c) Each notice from the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.31 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Replacement Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Facility. Any Additional Lender that elects to extend Replacement Term Loans or commitments under a Replacement Revolving Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and (unless such Additional Lender is already a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) the Administrative Agent, and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to a Replacement Facility Amendment. Each Replacement Facility shall become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, a “ Replacement Facility Amendment ”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by each applicable Borrower, such Additional Lender or Additional Lenders and the Administrative Agent. No Replacement Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders or any other Person other than each applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders with respect to such Replacement Facility Amendment. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Replacement Term Loans or commitment for any Replacement Revolving Facility, unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Facility shall become Commitments under this Agreement. A Replacement Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders or any other Person, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower(s), to effect the provisions of this Section 2.31 (including to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 10.1). The effectiveness of any Replacement Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders party thereto, be subject to the satisfaction or waiver on the date thereof (each, a “ Replacement Facility Closing Date ”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (it being understood that all references to the date of making any extension of credit in Section 5.2 shall be deemed to refer to the Replacement Facility Closing Date). The proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans will be used solely to repay the replaced Facility (or replaced portion thereof). To the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the effectiveness of a Replacement Facility Amendment may be conditioned on the Administrative Agent’s receipt of customary legal opinions with respect thereto, board resolutions and officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.1, with respect to the Loan Parties. No Replacement Revolving Facility may be implemented unless such Replacement Revolving Facility has provisions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans then outstanding under the Revolving Facility being replaced. Only one Revolving Facility shall be in effect at any time (provided that multiple tranches of Revolving Commitments may be outstanding thereunder on the terms applicable thereto pursuant to this Agreement and any applicable amendment implementing an Incremental Facility or an Extension or a Replacement Facility Amendment), and any Replacement Revolving Facility shall form a part of the Revolving Facility under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.31.

Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars (other than any Existing Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency) and (ii) expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the relevant Issuing Lender to the beneficiary thereof) no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the automatic extension thereof for additional one-year periods (each, an “ Auto-Extension Letter of Credit ”) (which shall in no event extend beyond the applicable date referred to in clause (y) above except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender and the applicable Borrower); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must, if requested by the Issuing Lender, permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “ Non-Extension Notice Date ”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. If a Borrower requests a commercial letter of credit, such commercial letter of credit shall be subject to such additional terms as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

(c) On the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit will automatically, without any action on the part of any Person, be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder on the Closing Date for the account of the Company for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

92


3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit . Any Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the relevant Issuing Lender and the applicable Borrower. The relevant Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the applicable Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

3.3 Fees and Other Charges .

(a) Each applicable Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit (with respect to any Existing Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof) issued for the account of such Borrower (or for the joint and several account of such Borrower and any Subsidiary) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders. Such fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, each applicable Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee in an amount per annum separately agreed with such Issuing Lender on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the account of such Borrower (or for the joint and several account of such Borrower and any Subsidiary), payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, each applicable Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (or for the joint and several account of such Borrower and any Subsidiary).

3.4 L/C Participations .

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own

 

93


account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued for such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the applicable Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount in Dollars equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage (determined, in the case of any Existing Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, on the date such draft is drawn) of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (whether or not the conditions to borrowing set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied) (based on, in the case of any Existing Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed). Each L/C Participant’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section 3.4(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant or any Borrower may have against any Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the relevant Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided , however , that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

 

94


3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower . Each applicable Borrower agrees to reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender in Dollars (in the case of any Existing Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such draft) no later than the first Business Day following each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies such Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (or for the joint and several account of such Borrower and any Subsidiary) and paid by such Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment; provided , that such reimbursement obligation of such Borrower shall be deemed to be satisfied when the Revolving Lenders have funded Revolving Loans in the amount of such draft so paid to reimburse such Lender in accordance with the following procedures: (A) the applicable Issuing Lender shall also notify the Administrative Agent of the amount to be so reimbursed, (B) such Borrower shall automatically be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans to be made as ABR Loans in the amount of such reimbursement obligation, and (C) the Administrative Agent shall have notified each Revolving Lender of the same and the amount to be funded by such Revolving Lender, which amount with respect to such Revolving Lender shall equal its Revolving Percentage of such reimbursement obligation (which shall be funded by such Revolving Lender whether or not the conditions to borrowing set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied). Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the applicable Borrower under this Section from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.16(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.16(c).

3.6 Obligations Absolute . Each applicable Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that any Borrower may have or may have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, (v) any waiver by the Issuing Lender of any requirement that exists for the Issuing Lender’s protection and not the protection of any Borrower or any waiver by the Issuing Lender which does not in fact materially prejudice the applicable Borrower, (vi) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft, or (vii) any payment made by the Issuing Lender in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received

 

95


under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the Uniform Commercial Code, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable. Each applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will promptly notify the Issuing Lender. Each Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

Each Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, unless taken or omitted with gross negligence or willful misconduct as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be binding on such Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to such Borrower. The foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise the agreed standard of care as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that each Issuing Lender shall have exercised the agreed standard of care in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments . If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall, within a period stipulated by the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit following its receipt of such draft, examine such draft. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly after such examination, notify the applicable Borrower of the date and amount of such draft. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to any Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. The relevant Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Applications . To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section  3, the provisions of this Section  3 shall apply.

All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).

4.2 No Change . Since December  31, 2017 there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law . Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (a) is (except in the case of any Immaterial Subsidiary) duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is relevant in the applicable jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c)  is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except, in the case of clauses (c) and (d), to the extent that the failure to be qualified or comply would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Loan Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar . The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate (a) the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws or other organizational or governing documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (b) any other Requirement of Law or any material Contractual Obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents and other than Liens securing the Target Notes). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

98


4.9 Intellectual Property . The Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all material Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity of any Intellectual Property, nor does any Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim except where such claim would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No use of Intellectual Property by the Company and its Subsidiaries infringes on the rights of any Person, except where such use would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.10 Taxes . Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other Taxes imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be). Except as, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Tax Lien has been filed, and, to the Knowledge of any Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such Tax, fee or other charge.

4.11 Federal Regulations . No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board; provided that the proceeds of the Loans may be used to acquire Company Stock in compliance with Regulation U.

4.13 ERISA . During the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made, (a) neither a Reportable Event which could give rise to a material liability nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” or “failure to meet the minimum funding standards” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred with respect to any Single Employer Plan, and (b) each Single Employer Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan under Section 4041(c) of ERISA has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed

 

99


made, exceed the value of the assets of such Single Employer Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by an amount which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Company or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is Insolvent.

4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations . No Loan Party is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

There is no fact known to any Loan Party that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Exchange Act Report or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS

9.1 Appointment .

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, 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.

(b) Each Lender hereby relieves the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, for the purposes described in paragraph (a) above (for the avoidance of doubt, including, but not limited to, the creation and release of any Collateral and the entering into and termination of any Security Document), from the restrictions pursuant to section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and similar restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any other applicable law, in each case to the extent legally possible to such Lender. The Administrative Agent is authorized to delegate its powers of attorney (including the exemption from the restrictions pursuant to section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and similar restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any other applicable law, in each case to the extent legally possible to such Lender). A Lender which is barred from granting such exemption shall notify the Administrative Agent accordingly.

9.2 Delegation of Duties . The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions . Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

 

143


9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. 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, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) 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 acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default . The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such 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 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 as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6 Non -Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders . Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, 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 Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its extensions of credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, 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

 

144


action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, 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 Loan Parties 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 not have any 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 Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification . The Lenders agree to severally indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages 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 such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the 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 such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; 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 from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity . Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent was not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 20 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to any Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights,

 

145


powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 20 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.10 Co-Documentation Agents . The Co-Documentation Agents shall not have any duties, liabilities or responsibilities hereunder in their capacities as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Co-Documentation Agents shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender.

9.11 Certain ERISA Matters .

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to so waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such

This Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments .

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (except in a transaction permitted by Section 7.4).

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities other than an Ineligible Institution (each, a “ Participant ”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrowers, the Issuing Lenders, the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, postpone the date of any scheduled amortization payment or the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as

 

155


provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. Each Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.20, 2.21 and 2.22 (subject to the requirements and limitations in Section 2.21) with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.23 and 2.24 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 2.20 or 2.21 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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) 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, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

As used herein, “ Ineligible Institution ” means (a) a natural person, (b) a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof or (c) any of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

(c) Any Lender (an “ Assignor ”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender, any affiliate of any Lender or any Lender Affiliate or, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity other than an Ineligible Institution (an “ Assignee ”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, executed by such Assignee, such Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (i) no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender, any affiliate of any Lender or any Lender Affiliate) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Commitments or $500,000 in the case of Term Loans (provided that assignments made by any Lender on the same day to an Assignee and its affiliates (including any Lender Affiliates) and contemporaneous assignments by Lender Affiliates to a single Assignee may be treated as a single assignment for purposes of satisfying any such minimum assignment amount requirement (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under the applicable Facility)), (ii) after giving effect to any such assignment, such Lender and its affiliates (including any Lender

 

156


Affiliates) shall retain Commitments and Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of at least $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Commitments and $500,000 in the case of Term Loans (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under the applicable Facility), in each case unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Borrower(s) and the Administrative Agent, (iii) no Lender may assign any interest in the Revolving Facility (other than, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to an affiliate of such Lender or, to another Lender then holding Revolving Commitments) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, each Issuing Lender and each Swingline Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) each Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment if it has not objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days of its receipt of notice thereof. For purposes of the proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its related Lender Affiliates, if any (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement). Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.6, the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required for any assignment that occurs when an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8(a) or 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Borrower.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrowers, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “ Register ”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, each other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Assumption, and thereupon one or more new Notes shall be issued to the designated Assignee. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an Assignor, an Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by Section 10.6(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (which shall not be an obligation of the Borrowers), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto.

 

157


(f) The Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 10.6 concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority having jurisdiction over such Lender in accordance with applicable law.

(h) Each applicable Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (g) above.

(i) Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6, whether or not such assignment or transfer is reflected in the Register, 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 (b) of this Section 10.6.

10.7 Adjustments; Set -off .

(a) Except to the extent that (i) this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility or (ii) a payment is made in respect of Cash Management Obligations, if any Lender (a “ Benefitted Lender ”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation,” no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.

 

158


(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders provided by law, each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount owing by a Borrower hereunder becoming due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and remaining unpaid past any applicable grace period, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or, in each case, any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees promptly to notify each applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or such Issuing Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent.

10.9 Severability . Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10 Integration . This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(v) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

(b) Upon any Subsidiary becoming a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby agrees to irrevocably and unconditionally appoint the Company or an agent for service of process located in the City of New York (the “ New York Process Agent ”), reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as its agent to receive on behalf of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding in any such New York State or Federal court described in paragraph (a) of this Section and agrees promptly to appoint a successor New York Process Agent in the City of New York (which successor New York Process Agent shall accept such appointment in a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) prior to the termination for any reason of the appointment of the initial New York Process Agent. In any such action or proceeding in such New York State or Federal court, such service may be made on such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower by delivering a copy of such process to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in care of the New York Process Agent at the New York Process Agent’s address and by depositing a copy of such process in the mails by certified or registered air mail, addressed to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower at its address specified in the Joinder Agreement (such service to be effective upon such receipt by the New York Process Agent and the depositing of such process in the mails as aforesaid). Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes and directs the New York Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternate method of service, each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding in such New York State or Federal court by mailing of copies of

 

160


such process to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower by certified or registered air mail at its address specified in the Joinder Agreement. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

To the extent that any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

10.13 Acknowledgments . Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and each Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

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

10.14 Releases of Guarantees and Liens .

(b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements and contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the

 

161


Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Trustee and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that Liens on assets of the Loan Parties created by the Loan Documents will be terminated and released upon the transfer of such assets to a Foreign Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or Foreign Guarantor) pursuant to Section 7.5(r).

10.15 Confidentiality . Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all Information (as defined below); provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such Information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender, any affiliate of any Lender or any Lender Affiliate, (b) to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.6(g) or any Transferee or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section or the provisions of another agreement having comparable confidentiality provisions, (c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, including audits and examinations conducted by bank accountants, any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority or self-regulatory authorities, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (j) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.15), (k) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, (l) to a credit insurer or (m) if agreed by the Company in its sole discretion, to any other Person.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Administrative Agent, Arrangers and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement that is routinely provided by arrangers to such service providers to market data service providers (including league table providers) that serve the lending industry.

10.18 No Fiduciary Duty . Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Loan Parties and the Credit Parties is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Credit Parties have advised or are advising the Loan Parties on other matters, (b) the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, have an arm’s length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do any of the Loan Parties rely on, any fiduciary duty to any of the Loan Parties or their affiliates on the part of the Credit Parties, (c) the Loan Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding, and the Loan Parties understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) the Loan Parties have been advised that the Credit Parties are engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from the Loan Parties’ interests and that the Credit Parties have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Loan Parties, (e) the Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent the Loan Parties have deemed appropriate, (f) each Credit Party has been, is, and will be

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “ Maximum Rate ”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excessive interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds the unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Administrative Agent or any Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal or unequal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of this Agreement.

10.20 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

 

164


10.21 Conversion of Currencies .

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto (including, upon any Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary Borrower) agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “ Applicable Creditor ”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “ Agreement Currency ”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers contained in this Section 10.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

10.22 Separate Obligations . For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Lender and each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Obligations of the Foreign Loan Parties under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be separate and distinct from the Obligations of the Domestic Loan Parties, and the Obligations of the Foreign Loan Parties shall be expressly limited to the Obligations of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers and Foreign Guarantors (the “ Foreign Obligations ”). In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the liability of any Foreign Loan Party for the payment and performance of its covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be several from and not joint with the Obligations of the Domestic Loan Parties (the “ Domestic Obligations ”); the Foreign Loan Parties shall not guarantee the Domestic Obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any guarantees by the Domestic Loan Parties of the Foreign Obligations); and the Collateral of the Foreign Loan Parties shall not secure or be applied in satisfaction, by way of payment, prepayment, or otherwise, of all or any portion of the Domestic Obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any guarantees by the Domestic Credit Parties of the Foreign Obligations). Notwithstanding the above, the Domestic Loan Parties shall guarantee the payment and performance of the Foreign Obligations, and the Collateral of the Domestic Loan Parties shall secure such guarantees, in each case as set forth in and in accordance with the applicable Security Documents.

 

165


10.23 Several Obligations . The respective obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement are several and not joint and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

10.24 Intercreditor Agreement . Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledge that it is subject to and bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement in its capacity as a holder of Additional Senior Class Debt (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).

1.2 Other Definitional Provisions . (a) The other definitional and interpretive provisions of Section 1.2 and 1.3 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis .

SECTION 2. GUARANTEE

2.1 Guarantee . (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their Affiliates and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Loan Parties when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Primary Obligations (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor).

(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder (other than any Borrower with respect to its Primary Obligations) and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).

 

3


(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Primary Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Primary Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable) and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Loan Parties may be free from any Primary Obligations.

(e) No payment made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Primary Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Primary Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Primary Obligations), remain liable for the Primary Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Primary Obligations are paid in full (other than obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements and other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated.

(f) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (and their Affiliates) and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by Subsidiaries of such Guarantor of their Cash Management Obligations, including (for the avoidance of doubt) any obligations of such Subsidiaries to a Lender (or its Affiliate) under any Cash Pooling Agreement to which such Lender (or its Affiliate) is a party, and the obligations and liabilities of Subsidiaries of such Guarantor under the Lender Hedge Agreements (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor). For the avoidance of doubt, the guarantee provided in this clause (f) is secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Agreement and, so long as the applicable Cash Management Obligation was permitted to be entered into or designated as a Cash Management Obligation under the Credit Agreement at the time such obligation was entered into or so designated, the guarantee provided in this clause (f) shall continue to be secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Agreement even though a limitation under the Credit Agreement may be exceeded solely as a result of a change in the currency exchange rates from the currency exchange rates applicable at the time such Cash Management Obligation was entered into or designated.

2.2 Right of Contribution . Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its

 

4


proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

2.3 No Subrogation . Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Primary Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Loan Parties on account of the Primary Obligations are paid in full (other than obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements and other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that are cash collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender) and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Primary Obligations shall not have been paid in full (other than obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements and other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable), such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Primary Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Primary Obligations . Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Primary Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Primary Obligations continued, and the Primary Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Primary Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Primary Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

 

5


2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional . Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Primary Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Primary Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Primary Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Primary Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Loan Parties for the Primary Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Primary Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

 

6


2.6 Reinstatement . The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Primary Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.7 Payments . Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in the applicable currency and at the relevant funding office as set forth in Section 2.19(e) of the Credit Agreement.

2.8 Keepwell . Each Qualified Keepwell Provider hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of any Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified Keepwell Provider shall only be liable under this Section 2.8 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.8, or otherwise under this guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified Keepwell Provider under this Section 2.8 shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of Hedge Agreements and other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that are cash collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender). Each Qualified Keepwell Provider intends that this Section 2.8 constitute, and this Section 2.8 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 3. MISCELLANEOUS

3.1 Amendments in Writing . None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.

3.2 Notices . All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in subsection 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

 

7


3.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies . Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 3.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

3.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification . (a) Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrowers would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section 3.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

3.5 Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

3.6 Set-Off . Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default pursuant to subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in

 

8


any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such Lender against such Guarantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that (a) the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application and (b) to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligations,” no amounts received from, or set-off with respect to, any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 3.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

3.7 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

3.8 Severability . Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

3.9 Section Headings . The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

3.10 Integration . This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

3.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers . Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; provided , that nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document will prevent any Lender or the Administrative Agent from bringing any action to enforce any award or judgment or exercise any right under the Security Documents or against any Collateral or any other property of any Loan Party in any other forum in which jurisdiction can be established;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Guarantor at its address referred to in Section 3.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

3.13 Acknowledgements . Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:

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

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

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

 

10


3.14 Additional Guarantors . Each Domestic Subsidiary of the Company that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.9 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Domestic Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, only Domestic Loan Parties shall be parties to this Agreement (unless the Administrative Agent and the Company otherwise agree, in which case this Agreement shall be amended in accordance with Sections 2.29(d) and Section 10.1(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement to reflect such terms and limitations with respect to any Foreign Loan Parties (subject to applicable legal, tax, accounting, regulatory and other similar considerations) as the Administrative Agent and the Company shall reasonably agree).

3.15 Releases . (a) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements and other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable), the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that are cash collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender), this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. At the request and sole expense of any Guarantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(b) At the request and sole expense of the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement (provided that, if the other party to such transaction is the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, the effect of such transaction is to cause such Subsidiary to become an Excluded Subsidiary), including any releases requested in connection with any such transaction pursuant to Section 7.5(z) of the Credit Agreement in connection with the Spin-Off, or such Subsidiary is no longer required by the Loan Documents to be (and the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that such Subsidiary shall no longer be) a Subsidiary Guarantor; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Company stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) This Agreement shall not apply and shall cease to be effective, without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Suspension Period Event; provided that this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated and shall become immediately effective, without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time that the requirements of a Suspension Period Event are no longer satisfied.

 

11

(d) The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement (subject to the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement), at the request, order or direction of the Administrative Agent or Credit Facility Secured Party, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent or Credit Facility Secured Party shall have offered to the Collateral Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee against the losses costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) which might be incurred therein or thereby.

(e) The Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to act outside of the United States in respect of any Collateral located in any jurisdiction other than the United States (“ Foreign Collateral ”) but shall, at the specific request of the Administrative Agent, appoint a person or persons to act on behalf of the Credit Facility Secured Parties with respect to such Foreign Collateral. Such person or persons (provided the same are reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Trustee) and the Collateral Trustee shall enter into a collateral assignment pledge agreement, mortgage, enforcing document or other security agreement purporting to relate to the Credit Facility Security Interest in such item of Foreign Collateral pursuant to which such person or persons shall exercise the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee and the Credit Facility Secured Parties in the Foreign Collateral for their respective benefit.

The Grantors and the Credit Facility Secured Parties acknowledge that the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Collateral Trustee under the Collateral Trust Agreement, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are hereby incorporated herein by reference thereto as if set forth herein in full.

Section 7.02. Notices . All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Trustee or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 6.01 of the Collateral Trust Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Subsidiary Grantor shall be addressed to such Subsidiary Grantor c/o Company and that any such notice, request or demand to or upon the Collateral Trustee shall be addressed to the Collateral Trustee at its notice address set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Trustee or any Credit Facility Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Trustee or any Credit Facility Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Trustee or such Credit Facility Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

Qualified Keepwell Provider ”: in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Loan Party that, at the time the relevant guarantee (or grant of the relevant security interest, as applicable) becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation, has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or otherwise constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” with respect to such Swap Obligation at such time by entering into a keepwell or guarantee pursuant to Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

1.2 Other Definitional Provisions . (a) The other definitional and interpretive provisions of Section 1.2 and 1.3 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis .

SECTION 2. GUARANTEE

2.1 Guarantee . (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their Affiliates and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Loan Parties when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Primary Obligations (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor).

(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder (other than any Borrower with respect to its Primary Obligations) and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).

 

3


(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Primary Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Primary Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable) and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Loan Parties may be free from any Primary Obligations.

(e) No payment made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Primary Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Primary Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Primary Obligations), remain liable for the Primary Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Primary Obligations are paid in full (other than obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements and other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated.

(f) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (and their Affiliates) and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by Subsidiaries of such Guarantor of their Cash Management Obligations, including (for the avoidance of doubt) any obligations of such Subsidiaries to a Lender (or its Affiliate) under any Cash Pooling Agreement to which such Lender (or its Affiliate) is a party, and the obligations and liabilities of Subsidiaries of such Guarantor under the Lender Hedge Agreements (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor). For the avoidance of doubt, the guarantee provided in this clause (f) is secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Agreement and, so long as the applicable Cash Management Obligation was permitted to be entered into or designated as a Cash Management Obligation under the Credit Agreement at the time such obligation was entered into or so designated, the guarantee provided in this clause (f) shall continue to be secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Agreement even though a limitation under the Credit Agreement may be exceeded solely as a result of a change in the currency exchange rates from the currency exchange rates applicable at the time such Cash Management Obligation was entered into or designated.

2.2 Right of Contribution . Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its

 

4


proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

2.3 No Subrogation . Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Primary Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Loan Parties on account of the Primary Obligations are paid in full (other than obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements and other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that are cash collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender) and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Primary Obligations shall not have been paid in full (other than obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements and other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable), such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Primary Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Primary Obligations . Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Primary Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Primary Obligations continued, and the Primary Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Primary Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Primary Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

 

5


2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional . Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Primary Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Primary Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Primary Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Primary Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Loan Parties for the Primary Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Primary Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

 

6


2.6 Reinstatement . The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Primary Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.7 Payments . Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in the applicable currency and at the relevant funding office as set forth in Section 2.19(e) of the Credit Agreement.

2.8 Keepwell . Each Qualified Keepwell Provider hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of any Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified Keepwell Provider shall only be liable under this Section 2.8 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.8, or otherwise under this guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified Keepwell Provider under this Section 2.8 shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of Hedge Agreements and other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that are cash collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender). Each Qualified Keepwell Provider intends that this Section 2.8 constitute, and this Section 2.8 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 3. MISCELLANEOUS

3.1 Amendments in Writing . None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.

3.2 Notices . All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in subsection 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

 

7


3.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies . Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 3.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

3.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification . (a) Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrowers would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section 3.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

3.5 Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

3.6 Set-Off . Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default pursuant to subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in

 

8


any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such Lender against such Guarantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that (a) the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application and (b) to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligations,” no amounts received from, or set-off with respect to, any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 3.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

3.7 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

3.8 Severability . Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

3.9 Section Headings . The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

3.10 Integration . This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

3.13 Acknowledgements . Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:

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

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

For the avoidance of doubt, only Domestic Loan Parties shall be parties to this Agreement (unless the Administrative Agent and the Company otherwise agree, in which case this Agreement shall be amended in accordance with Sections 2.29(d) and Section 10.1(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement to reflect such terms and limitations with respect to any Foreign Loan Parties (subject to applicable legal, tax, accounting, regulatory and other similar considerations) as the Administrative Agent and the Company shall reasonably agree).

3.15 Releases . (a) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements and other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable), the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that are cash collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender), this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party.

(c) This Agreement shall not apply and shall cease to be effective, without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Suspension Period Event; provided that this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated and shall become immediately effective, without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time that the requirements of a Suspension Period Event are no longer satisfied.

All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in such Credit Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H :

While an Applicable Notice of Event of Default shall be in effect, the Collateral Trustee may, at the Grantors’ expense: (i) cause to be filed, delivered and recorded with the Federal Government in accordance with the Assignment of Claims Act any or all assignments and/or notices of assignment executed and delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section  3.08(a) and Section  4.11(a) ; and (ii) cause to be filed, delivered and/or recorded with the relevant state or local government or agency any or all assignments, notices of assignment and/or other documents executed and delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section  4.11(b) .
